Hi, My partner and I will be moving into an apartment complex very soon and will be taking our two beardies with us. However, I am concerned because we have been told that the complex has a pest control policy and will be spraying the units regularly (I believe once monthly/once every two...

Hello! So, I'm going to be making some custom ramps/higher basking spots and whatnot for my beardies enclosures (especially for my older beardie, who has trouble navigating up his tree to bask). I was wondering what to use for extra traction, so its easier to climb. And preferably something...

This is a really random thing to discuss, but I'm taking an Intro to Psychology course and I have to conduct a small experiment involving behavior conditioning, and I thought it'd be interesting to involve one of my bearded dragons! But the problem is, I have no idea what to "train" them to do...

One of my dragons is getting into his older years, and he just looks plain uncomfortable when he sleeps. I also wanted to give him something to do, so I was thinking of a digging box. He loves being wrapped up in blankets, but blankets are quite hard to wash poop out/off of, so I figured maybe...

Today (which is also the day after my birthday) my baby bearded dragon, who I was doing all sorts of things for because he was lethargic and wouldn't eat on his own, died. He may of died last night. Either way, I feel horrible, I wish I could've been there to hold him and love on him before it...

I've had this baby beardie from petsmart for just over a month now, and at first he was really energetic and glass surfed and tried to jump from my hands and everything. But soon I realized that he wasn't eating. I've offered him tiny mealworms and tiny superworms, keeping track of the number of...

Sorry for posting in the wrong section, but I need some serious advice here! While browsing craigslist (a site I try to avoid, as the animal listings always make me sad) I came across a listing for a box turtle that someone "kept from getting squished on the road", so it's a wild box turtle. I...

I am looking for UVB bulbs for my lovelies, but I'm a bit unsure. They each have their own standard, 40 gallon tank (17 inches from floor to lid and about 35 or 36 inches wide). Should I get an 18-inch, 15 watt bulb...or a 22-inch, 24 watt bulb? (I'm buying Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 T5's, buy the...

I have a five/six year old bearded dragon that has not pooped in around two-three weeks. He's never been much of a "pooper", usually he goes once a week, but he hasn't "gone" in close to a month now and I'm beginning to worry. He's still a spunky and perky old lizard, he's wide-eyed and perky...

Hello all, I've been looking into UVB lighting for my sweet beardies, but alas, I am confused. What wattage should the bulb be (would a 22 inch, 24-watt Reptisun be sufficient? The tanks are each 36 inches long.) What's the difference between T5 and T8? Normal output versus high...

I'm planning on buying a 40-60w CHE for my 40-gallon tank...what dome would be best for this? My other beardie has a CHE and dome (that was given to me by his previous owners, hense why I don't have the packaging or anything for the dome) and I think the dome is "Fluker's 5.5 Clamp Lamp with...

I'm trying to figure out what brand basking bulb I should purchase. I know that most normal, cheap bulbs can be used for basking bulbs, but I had a scare with one that (even though I'm not sure if the bulb was at fault or not) has made me fearful of using household bulbs. What would be the best...

This is actually a question about something for my leopard geckos, not my beardies...heh. But anywhoo...I recently bought them an under-tank heater and I am reluctant to just slap it on and start it up because of the table that their tank is on being plastic...I can't switch tables, so are there...

I have both an adult (six) and a juvenile (six months) beardie, and I have some things that I need clarified a bit... 1. How often should each of them be fed? (And is it normal for an adult to eat every other day ?) 2. How often should I dust their feeders (insects) with the calcium and...

1. Is it okay for there to be a temp. decrease in my dragons at night? (Is it okay/healthy, and what is the minimum temp. for nighttime?) 2. How far away from the basking spot (like, the specific branch or rock that your beardie chills on while basking) should the basking bulb be? 3. How many...

Hello, I've been researching and am currently checking different websites for the best type of UVB lighting for my lovelies - I have a question... Are Fluorescent Tubes better? Do Mercury Vapor Bulbs negatively affect beardies like Compact/Coil Bulbs do? I'd appreciate any...

I am unsure if this is the right category to post this. My apologies if it isn't :oops: I have a beardie who is about five or six years old (I've owned him for around six months) and I suspect he is going through brumation. I've read numerous articles about what brumation is, what the signs...

I hope that this is is the right category and that it hasn't been asked before :oops: So, lemme start from the beginning. Around two or three weeks ago I purchased an adult beardie from this couple. They weren't breeders or anything, but they just didn't have time for him anymore. For the...

I've read that they can be harmful because of their tough exoskeleton, but is that just for babies, or does it apply to juveniles aswell?

Hi there, I am new to this website and new to owning a bearded dragon, and I just had a few questions about their diets. (I apologize if I sound somewhat *****ic. :oops: ) > Do juvenile beardies require their dry food to be dusted? > If so, how often? > What is the best live food to feed a...
