sure! Any container that has smooth sides, they can't climb out of. Just try out different ones!

I agree with Skepti and just wanted to add one or two things: Dubia's are excellent at hide & seek, therefore if they're left in your tank for more than a few minutes, they'll squeeze into the smallest and darkest of spots so your beardie wont even know they're there, thus defeating the...

this should help you out: http://www.freewebs.com/crossfireenclosures/

this is the one I have. It's $9 on Amazon and works great http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053Y6IPE/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

do you, or does anyone you know, have any experience with woodworking? Because you can build this same enclosure for 1/4 the price. You can even find plans online. And you wouldn't have to worry about shipping

You don't need a special cramping tool, literally all you need is a pair of pliers. You just have to pierce the metal lining. And as far as thermostats and wattage: the 11"-12" thickness is 20 watts per foot; most thermostats are rated at 600-1200 watts. So unless you're running like 30 feet...

Yes, they are the long tubes

Excellent !

Ah yes, carpet is a lot easier.. Forgot to ask; I have hardwood floors and they get so cold

It doesn't necessarily need a stand, but I wouldn't recommend keeping it on the ground because the floor is much cooler and you might have trouble keeping the right temps. Don't want your new buddy cold !

the clicking sounds like it's a respiratory infection, you need to get her to the vet asap

those coil bulbs are extremely bad for their eyes, and even worse there is two. You only need one UVB bulb, that should cover atleast 2/3 of your enclosure. If it's not too late, please return both of those coil bulbs and use the money to buy a Reptisun 10.0 UVB tube bulb and ballast (you can...

can you post a picture please?

it depends... is he doing it frantically? Back and forth at a normal pace? Staying in one spot?

Hello and welcome! Here's is the thread about how to post pictures: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=152184 Can't wait to see your beardie!

I ordered this same tape, and had the same questions... it's quite confusing! If you're looking at the same company I used, they have simplified the process quite a bit. The first thing is you need to make sure you get a thermostat. This will allow you to set your desired temperature and will...

I keep 3 sides of my beardie's enclosure covered, to add to the feeling of security. It's especially important when they're young. If they can see out of the sides, they will feel like they're out in the open and trapped; this may or may not have to do with the arm waving. Do you have any...

his mouth being open is a good sign, don't worry. It means he is thermo-regulating his body temperature by letting the extra heat dissipate through his mouth. In other words, he's warm enough. It can also be a symptom of respiratory infection, but this isn't the case 95% of the time- unless he's...

during the night though, as long as his enclosure temp doesn't go below 19C he'll be okay. Lower than that and you'll need to provide heat with a CHE, and preferably a thermostat so it doesn't get too hot

yes, these temps are way too low for him to be healthy. His cool end needs to be 27C and the hot end needs to be 32.5C, basking spot about 40.5C. If these temperatures aren't reached, he won't be able to digest his food properly and it can rot in his stomach. Can you provide the details of your...
