Will definitely make some changes in the light and temps! Thanks!

THank you! Temps are @95. He does have a place he can go under but he prefers to sit on top of his cool side rock and prop his head up against the fleece pillow I made him facing the corner of the tank. He isn't completely asleep. Just napping and dazed. As you suggested I will continue to...

Rocky is half brumation now. He stays in the cool side facing the wall splayed out on his rock. All day long. Occasionally I see him turn his head and peer at me through the corner of his eye. He isn't completely asleep. I take him out once or twice a week for a warm soak so he will poop...

Looks great! Love the photos of all the dragons! Rocky's looks good too. Many thanks! Can't wait to buy them!!!!!

Rocky just turned 1 year old this September, Yay! And within a few days after his birthday he started to act a little differently. Appetite was down and he seemed more lazy. Then he started going over to the cooler side and would climb up his rock and face the wall. At first when he did this...

Yes! It is all set up and is in the process of cycling. So I have to wait another 3 weeks before I can put Petrie in his new viv. The plants have to get established so they can tolerate being climbed on. The microfauna needs to multiply and help make the soil richer. The humidity also needs to...

Beardies are so funny! They are creatures of habit and routine. Whenever it is around the time Rocky gets his live feeders I can always find him facing the door of his viv looking out to see if he can catch my eye. He also knows what feeders I am getting him by the direction my body goes...

Sorry I'm have trouble with the links! Will try again soon!

Yikes! Will try to upload again! Thanks!

]Just redid my live viv and while lots of folks contributed to my original set up such as Pangea, LLL Reptiles, Bugsincyberspace, and Joshs Frogs...I wanted to give an Shout Out to Mike at NEHERP for all his guidance and help putting it together! Plus their awesome products for vivariums! Here...

Rocky's tropical neighbor Petrie, my new crested gecko, has gotten a vivarium make over! It is a LIVE vivarium and very exciting to make. So different from setting up a dessert tank for my beardie Rocky! After setting up my live viv the first time, I deconstructed it all and redid it all...

Great experiences with so many fascinating creatures!!! What happened to them? Did they die of natural causes or did you have to adopt them out, like the Monitor? The thing I worry about sometimes is the longevity of my pets vs. me. They could easily outlive me. That's why I hesitate...

That is pretty funny about your dog n Lenny! My bichon had a similar reaction to my beardie. I like to put him on a fleece blanket that I make and sit by me. Maggie my bichon jumped up on the couch and came face to face with Rocky. She took a good whiff of him n then proceeded to try n bury him...

Thank you! They are gorgeous and elegant looking creatures. But once I realized that cute little baby might be as big as my dog I passed. He was adopted during the Petco reptile sale. I only want one big boy and that's my beardie Rocky! I did, however, adopt a crested gecko! So I am learning...

Eureka! Success! I had an excellent session tonight with my new crested gecko, Petrie!!!! Normally he is like the Road Runner and just zips off whenever he senses my finger getting closer and begins twitching that tail threatening to drop it. But tonight, he was overall much calmer and...

After letting Petrie, my new crested gecko, get used to his tank for a week, it was time to start bonding! They are soooooo different from a beardie. Different tank set up, different food, different sleep cycles, and different movement....in other words, Different all around! I enjoy sitting...

My kids have warmed up quickly and my husband is resolved that we will simply have another pet ;-). However my youngest had me sign a contract stating we would not have more than 10 pets. He is a character! I see law or politics in his future!

Whew! Got the new baby home and set up in his viv! Meet Petrie everyone! a @ 9 mth old Crested Gecko https://www.dropbox.com/s/onfool3cxsdkdy9/Petrie.JPG This how he came home from his previous owner who was very kind and helpful! I believe it was his original container she bought him in...

Well... I am increasing my menagerie! Off to pick up a Crested Gecko!!! Petco had a great deal on tanks yesterday so I bought one n started looking for an occupant! :-). Found 'Petrie' on Craigslist from an owner who was downsizing her gecko collection. She had him 5 mths n he is @9 mths old...

Awww! I'm so glad she loves her sleeper sack! I took Rocky for a walk tonight in his and like clock work he started getting very restless when the sun was coming down. This time I made sure to direct his actions into the travel sack and sure enough, before I got home he was already sleeping...
