My Gizmo at 2-6mo. As you can see he got brighter and his marking lighter!

Lol, thank you! If anyone has advice on silkies I'm open to it. I know they take a little extra care. I got her yesterday and she's already shedding! I have been soaking her with shed ease. It seems to be helping.

I already have 2 beardies that are 8 months old. Gizmo a normal and Daisy a leatherback. I just added a baby silkie. She is supposed to be about 2 months old but is very tiny. The breeder had her listed as a girl but as well all know at 4.5 inches they almost all look like girls. For now her...

Hi there. Pushkin looks like my Gizmo! He was a brown color as a baby and got brighter and brighter with each shed. His picture is my profile and signature. He was 6 months at the time. I bet your cutie will be similar in color. It's so much fun to see them change!

I got my little man Gizmo back in December and just love him. I went to a reptil expo yesterday and fell in love. Everyone meet Daisy. She is a 5 month old hypo citrus tiger leatherback. She is the biggest sweetie!

Thank you that does help. I looked at buy dubai and dubi deli. I haven't seen Kimberll I'll check them out! I don't like the jumping crickets but what really gets me is the smell. They STINK!

Hope they work well for him! :)

I tend to do a ton of research before diving into things! Everything I have read and everyone I have talked to said dubai roaches are by far the best for beardies. They are higher in protein then crickets while containing same amounts of chitin as crickets. They come in different sizes just like...

Ok glad to hear he is shedding normally. I thought he was until someone who obviously doesn't know much told me he wasn't. I'll keep up the bathes. I wash his veggies and don't dry them off before giving them to him. He has water bowl I see him in. Humidity sits at 10%. I'm wondering if it...

Thank you for the suggestions. The suggestion about the hides make sense. I was planning on taking them out anyway. He never uses them. Well to lay on but that's about it. Giving him a smaller space has really helped. He's just about back to himself. He's always been my little buddy so the total...

I wait an hour after the light comes on to feed him but may try waiting 90 minutes. I know he needs his groceries to grow :) I'm thinking about making the switch to dubia roaches. I read they are higher protein and easier to breed. I've had him almost 2 months so still learning. You've helped...

He's doing better. Eating still a tiny bit off. He didn't eat breakfast and ate 10 crickets at lunch. Dinner he ate 72 though. I'm wondering if he's just making the switch to twice a day meals. He did puff his beard at me this morning when I was putting his veggies in his dish. I just looked at...

Thanks. I haven't been able to locate any dubia roach breeders in VA. I know there are a ton of websites but that doesn't mean they are all good. I was just wondering who people buy from.

He IS out. He's on the floor of my house. He runs to the wall and tries to climb up it. When that doesn't work he sticks his nose in a corner and scratches like mad.

During exercise time before the move he would sometimes run straight to a wall and try to climb up it or shove his nose in a corner and scratch at the wall. When I picked him up he'd run to my shoulder and lay down like normal. Other days he'd run laps around me then run jump in my lap and lay...

Yes it's about 3 times as big (29" to 70")! I plan on partitioning it off. I had the same stuff in the new enclosure but having the same lay out is a great idea thanks! I know it can take a week or two to adjust but I got really worried when he started beating his head against the wall and got...

I am looking at starting a dubia colony and am wondering if y'all have recommendations for where to buy a starter colony. I have researched and found a dozen different places all varying in price. Anyone really good or to stay away from?

I assume you mean the basking side is 105-108 and there is a cooler side? I also have a 4 mo old and found for him he didn't eat when the basking temp was over 100. I keep it at 97 and he became an eating machine. I use a 75 w Repti Basking light and a 10.0 Reptisun UVB bulb and the cooler side...

I got my little guy about a month and a half ago. He was 7 inches and now is up to 11 inches. He's in a 29 gallon tank at the moment. He was doing great in it. It was starting to look a tad small. We know when he's an adult he will need a bigger enclosure. We made a melamine enclosure that is 70...

It sounds like he needs to see a vet. If he truly has a respiratory infection that requires antibiotics. Antibiotics are prescription drugs which requires and exam. If you have a small cat carrier you can put blankets in it and cover the carrier with a blanket. If you have heated seats in your...
