One thing to keep in mind, even if they did live on sand, there is a lot going on in nature to balance out bacteria and such that you go to great lengths to keep out of your habitat.

That is pretty much what I did. I started with some adults, hoping they would be able to produce fast enough to keep the feeders going. 100 females were producing just enough, but it was requiring me to go into my breeder bin every couple days. Which was causing dropped egg sacks and slowing...

This is a scary situation. I lost my first beardie this way. Woke up, the light was out. I could have went to work and fixed it when I came home. I would have had someone around that I am sure would have held him while I did it. But that's not me. He was only a couple months old and he was...

I see what you did there!!! :D

I am sure this isn't what you want to hear, but perhaps you need to seriously consider selling some of your pets. You are saying you can't afford to feed what you have, but you have 4 more on order? You aren't willing to breed roaches and crickets are too difficult. I guess it's just the parent...

Thanks for moving this to the correct topic. I am holding the temp gun about 6-8" from the spot. The bulb is a 100w ZooMed basking lamp on a dimmer. Its is maybe a little more than a foot above the point she basks. The UVB is a reptisun 10.0 HO T5 fluorescent tube. This is about 18-20" above the...

she is about 4 weeks. That's why I am concerned that she is staying in the cooler spot. I readjusted the light and the level she always sits on is 102. She now is sitting on a different level and that temp is at around 95. I am basing my temps on an accurite probe thermometer and a temp gun. My...

My enclosure has a multi level basking structure. My beardie likes sitting on the highest level, but this is away from the basking light and is only around 95 degrees. There are multiple levels and obviously different temps. Should I leave things alone an go with she will go where she needs to...

What do I win? Let me guess, one set of screen cover locking clips? :lol:

Is there any chance that the items you are looking at are not door handles, but possibly locking clips for the screen cover? That would make a bit more sense, since you wouldn't really need 4 door handles.

Hard to say, but I might guess that the first and third piece would just slide over the end of the glass, with the closer portion being the outside handle and the part they are sitting on would be on the inside. Possibly the other two attach inside the viv to act as a catch for the handles. On...

just a thought here, but I set up a tote and had a sizable screened in hole on top. After starting to harvest nymphs and putting them in a smaller tote, I put the tote on top of the breeder tote, covering some of the screen on top and my breeder temp went up 10 degrees. Maybe your good size hole...

Just a quick poll of how many small nymphs you feed your baby dragon. I see the recommendations of as many as they will eat in 10-15 minutes. But I was curious of how many folks go through in a day, week or month? I am finishing up my viv and would like to purchase the dragon in the next week or...

I have been reading the forum for a couple of weeks and can't really find an answer to my question. I see recommendations of placing your UVB bulb 6-8" above your dragon's basking spot. I look on Zoomed's site and it shows the Repti Sun 10.0 T5 HO bulb recommended distance as 18-36". I have...

Turnersville, NJ here. Building my enclosure now. Looking to get the dragon in the next few weeks. If anyone knows of any good South Jersey Breeders, let me know.

Thanks. We were discussing the theme and the basking area is an extension of that and might not look right if we had to make that from a different material.

My daughter and I are building an enclosure for her future BD. I would like to create the background and accessories with the polystyrene and grout methods I see here and on youtube. My question is, once these are built and coated, could they serve as a basking platform or would being directly...
