Thank you for that calculator! It looks like a tank would be too heavy for a regular shelf, so I'll probably add a couple braces just to be safe. He has a basking like that heats up to 100, so I might need to put some insulation over whichever tank goes over the basking area. What thickness foam...

Hello folks, I'm looking to make my Beardie a 4x2x2 viv out of plywoodm and I was wondering, how study are enclosures like these? I'm hoping to use the enclosure as a way to consolidate space by putting my 10 gallon aquarium and corn snakes 10 gallon tank on top. Would a normal plywood viv be...

I took out the shelf liner and it is soaking in a tub of water and white vinegar. I might still just cut him a new one, though. I'll definitely start bathing him at the same time everyday now. Do you think it was just him walking around in it then? Also, how should I go about cleaning it off his...

So, Merlin seems to have an odd problem of getting his poop absolutely everywhere. He makes a mess about 5" in diameter with a little bit of normal poop flung somewhere in the viv. Yesterday he pooped on a notebook of mine (thanks) while out and about it was fine, as was the one a day or to...

Nope, bulbs like those can hurt their eyes. You should get a ReptiSun 10.0, a ReptiSun 10.0 HO, or an Arcadia 12% florescent fixture. Is should also be mounted inside the viv to provide maximum amounts of UVB.

Well, summer is in full swing and Merlin is loving the outdoors, but his food is getting a little faint. It's been pretty hot the last three days or so and his ReptiWorms just expired a little early. Now, I have a bit of a problem. I love ReptiWorms. They are so gosh darn convenient as far as...

Thanks guys! I was leaning toward the simpler one with beads, and I think you guys sealed the deal! Hopefully Merlin can start spending time outside catching rays :mrgreen:

The weather is heating up, the yard is almost dry, and soon the grass will be growing again, which means that it is time for Merlin to experience the great outdoors. While I'm sure he will be extremely happy about this, I'm the one left worrying in the corner. My most recent dilemma is about...

Okie dokie, because I refuse to get a half log I have decided to make my own! About how big should the hide be? Mind you, it has to fit in a 40 gallon aquarium. Merlin is currently ~17 inches and 7 months old, so he still has a bit of growing to do.

Are your parents ok with worm like bugs. You could put in an order for ReptiWorms or Phoenix Worms and then your parents could give him those. They are healthy and much easier to handle than crickets, in my opinion. Plus, you don't need to do anything with them, really. Just stick them in a...

Have you checked your local PetCo/PetSmart? Look in the fish isle, there are a ton of stands to chose from. If you have a local fish store you could stop by and see if that have a stand or could order you one. Most Goodwill/Salvation Army type stores have a bunch of old furniture that you could...

Merlin is getting pretty big now and has outgrown his hut. He has this rock hide currently http://www.petco.com/product/115407/Petco-Reptile-Cave-Hideaway.aspx?CoreCat=certona-_-ProductListTopRated_Reptile_4-_-Petco%20Reptile%20Cave%20Hideaway-115407 but it just seems a bit cramped. Do you guys...

I figured, that's too bad. Thank you for the help

My bad, I must have read it wrong. I've ordered the T5 and it should be coming in Thursday. How good are the Zilla UVBs? While looking for a Zoo Med I could only find the Zilla brand and had to order the bulb from a local pet store.

What's the difference? From my readings and basic understanding of light bulbs the HO should be better, but it's half the price. Am I missing something or has PetCo gone a bit wobbly? The T5 is $50 with the T5 HO is $25. I'd rather get the HO because a) it's cheaper and b) it'd fit in the viv...

How often should I be dusting my ReptiWorms? Should I continue the weekly multivitamin? How often, if ever, should I be dusting them with calcium ? ReptiWorm's site says that they have enough calcium in them, but I'm still a little unsure and would like a second oppionion. Thanks guys

Today I mixed it up and feed him regular ones in the morning and at noon time and dusted ones at night time. He gobbled up the noon time crickets and the nighttime crickets but wouldn't touch the morning crickets.

I did, as soon as I dropped the cricket in he devoured it.

Hello, Merlin came barreling into our home exactly one week ago in the form of my sisters barded dragon. He's been great so far, but he will only eat once a day, in the morning. Any other time we put him in his box with some crickets he just looks around then tries to jump out. Today I threw in...

Thanks guys, he gobbled them up. If I have left over crikets should I release them, get rid of them, or save them for his next feeding time that day?
