    Building a new Viv-NEED ADVICE

    If feeding outside the enclosure isn't an option (like in my home) you can use this material instead of plywood. The crickets have a tough time climbing that coating...

    Bearded dragon or rankin dragon?

    Yeah, you have a baby bearded dragon. My beardie, that I named Dragon, looked much like yours when she was a hatchling. She was also super picky about her live food and wouldn't touch greens for 2 years. The way I decided that Dragon had enough to eat was through her eating patterns and by...

    Long nails?

    The Lowes in my area sells 3 inch by 3 inch slate tile in packs of 10 for about $10 (If memory serves me right) The rough texture on the slate keeps Dragon's nails trimmed very nicely. I'd recommend filling the gaps with a little bit of repti-sand or sifted play sand to make sure the toes stay...

    My beardie sleeps funny

    Sleeping in odd positions is very normal. Dragon, has slept in positions that I ask my fiance how does she (the breardie) not get a stiff back! As for what the others mention about the red light and the water bowl, as off topic as it is; Beardies have a light sensor, almost a 3rd eye, on top...

    Bearded dragon question

    How long have you had the bearded dragon? If it hasn't been but a week or two he or she can still be getting used to the new environment, causing the grumpy attitude. I have often heard, and not sure if its true still or not, that taping brown paper bags on all viewing sides of a dragon...

    Hello and thank you

    I haven't said an age because I do not know. I want to say my bro got them in September, but I don't think that's accurate. their size is about the length of my palm from the tip of their snout to the start of their tail - they are 20 - 40 1/2" crickets daily as a group, if that helps. I too...

    Hello and thank you

    Unfortunately for household bulbs, I only have the spiral tube type which doesnt generate enough heat to use as a basking light. (using the rule of "If i can touch a bulb minutes after turning it off its not generating heat") I looked into MVBs and they seem to be highly recommended for UV and...

    Hello and thank you

    At least I won't have to worry about tooth and nail fighting for now. I know I still need a bigger and more tanks, but I can put that further down the road correct? my biggest concern is the bulbs, the UVb is a compact floresecent (not the spiral type) and the red basking. I heard about the...

    Hello and thank you

    Do beardies usually lay on one another while basking if more than one are in a tank? I've heard how territorial they can be but I'm not seeing it, yet anyways, but at the same times I've seen mollies (fish) schooling with other fish that should have considered them food. Could they be siblings...

    Hello and thank you

    Pics added to the original post. My only story is how quick they can be when they want to be. Was holding the dark one in the pics and all of a sudden he wanted to explore something and almost jumped off the couch before I caught him. Thank you
