    Was a He, now a She, need a name!

    My cute little gimpy rescue was Hiccup, but then he started waving at me, so I checked and He is a SHE! So I need help with names! I was thinking Astrid, Saphira, or Mango! She is missing part of her tail, and all toes on one finger so she's always flipping me off lol. And she has a deep...

    Eeps! 250 supers!

    So I ordered a Bearded Dragon Sampler pack and it came with 250 supers. They are medium size (which I wasn't aware of) and they are bigger than the distance between her eyes. She is only 12" long, but she is a rescue so I think she may be full grown already. Not sure on her age though. The...

    Strange behaviors?!

    I posted in Behaviors but wasn't getting any help there... I was trying to hand feed my little girl some greens, and after a couple of bites she was gaping at me slightly and looking up at me. She wasn't gaping because of heat because her lamps were off. There was no hissing or lunging, does...

    Shedding/tail rot/Skinny? *pics*

    Just found out my little rescue is actually a girl! :blob5: So while I was bending her and examining her and probably pissing her off I noticed some other things. The tip of her tail is black, could it be tail rot? It's always been like that for the past week so I know it's not stress...

    Opened mouth at me while not basking?

    I was trying to entice my little girl to eat a piece of collard, and she was looking up at me and then just opened her mouth a little. Not very wide, but just a small amount so I could see her tongue. There was no hissing or lunging. I tried putting the collard in her mouth thinking that was...

    FINALLY got my beardie!

    Everyone, meet Hiccup! I have waited a year to adopt a dragon and I finally have one! Hiccup is roughly 13", and I'm assuming he's a sub-adult. He was kept in a 30 gallon tank with another full grown male that bit him and he was never taken to the vet. My local rescue took him in and...

    i can't remember, what is the recommended distance from the basking spot for the reptisun 10.0 T5 if it's mounted on top of the screen? Right now mine sits at 10".

    Freaking out about dusting supplements?!

    I have heard so many different stories on how often to dust/what supplements to use and when to use them. The Facebook page I'm on (Bearded Dragon Obsession) said calcium with no d3 every day, multivitamin once a week, and calcium with d3 twice a month. The care sheet here says something way...

    Monthly cost to feed? $$$

    Hope this isn't invasive... :silent: I'm curious to see about how much everyone spends monthly on their ADULT beardies? Right now in my Mulberry Farms shopping cart I have 100 dubias, 250 supers, 10 silks with food, and 500 phoenix worms for a grand total of 70$ after shipping!!! :puke: I...

    Is he a juvi or an adult?

    Went to my local reptile rescue and picked out this cutie! They said he's a male and since they took him to the vet I'm not going to go against what they say but I'll probably double check the sex just to make sure. When I bring him home I'll post an intro about him and his setup. :) Just...

    Is this a good ceramic fixture?

    I'm going with the zoomed Repti basking spot lamp at 150 watts, and I was wondering if this fixture would be a good pair with it? http://www.petmountain.com/product/bird-lighting/11442-504694/zilla-zilla-reflector-dome-with-ceramic-socket.html Also I'm going with the Reptisun 10.0 HO and I got...

    Raising silkworms/breeding?

    I swear the hardest part of figuring all this out is what to feed :roll: I would really like to raise silkworm eggs. Mulberry farms has a great page on raising the eggs, but their setup seems complex and expensive with an incubator. I was wondering for those of you who raise your own silks if...

    Self-ballasted MVB question?

    Hi all, so I'm thinking of rescuing a beardie from my local rescue, but they are extremely picky and I don't want to get turned down for not following their requirements. One requirement is that they require a self-ballasted mercury vapor bulb. So I got some questions for ya. 8) I've read...

    Mealworms - yay or nay?

    I'm curious about what everyone here has to say about feeding mealworms to adults as the main insect type in their diet. The care sheet says no, but my local vet and rescue both feed mealworms. If they're gut loaded, is it safe and healthy? Is the issue impaction or calcium deficiency? Haven't...

    Keeping reptiworms?

    I'm going to order some reptiworms soon, and I know that they have to be between 50-60 degrees, but I don't know how to keep them that cool. I don't own a wine cooler, so what should I do? An ice chest? I heard about keeping them by the ac vent but it's not yet hot enough outside for the ac to...

    Zilla 8 1/2 premium reflector dome?

    My boyfriend got the zilla 8 1/2 inch premium reflector some that he's not using anymore. I'm pretty sure it has a ceramic socket and it says good for up to 150 watts. Should this be okay to hold a basking bulb? Is zilla okay for the dome? Also, it came with a 150 watt incandescent "day" bulb...

    Gecko question?

    I know this is about geckos and not bearded dragons, but I don't know where else to go. My boyfriend just got a gecko and was using a black light and incandescent light. I told him to switch to a UTH. We got one from zoomed, the repritherm for our 30 gallon tank. We used bottle caps to elevate...

    Conflicting information on Phoenix Worms

    I saw the helpful post about keeping and growing Phoenix worms, and it said to keep the worms at a warm temperature, otherwise they wouldn't live as long. But I saw on the phoenix worms website to keep them at 50-60 degrees, because at room temp they only live a few weeks. So I'm confused - keep...
