    My dragon prefers his basking spot cooler than he should.

    He's a juvenile - about 9 months old - 16" long. He prefers his basking spot to be around 90 degrees. Everything I've read said that juveniles should have heat anywhere from 95-110. Is it okay that he likes it cooler? I use a 75 watt bulb that gets his basking spot to 93-ish usually, and I have...

    **May Photo Competition - Lumpy Rug Day**

    I'm new to this website, and new to beardies. Will there be a June photo contest? If so, how can I find it?

    Male or female?

    This is Oliver. I adopted him two weeks ago @ 8 months old. I do believe he is male, but I'm not 100% sure. Help?!

    My dragon runs away when I try to pick him up! :(

    He took two poops the next two days about the same size, and none today. We're getting closer, I can just tell! He lets me handle him most of the time now - I still pet him every time my hand is in the tank. Sometimes, he still runs away, but I just leave him be and try again later. Is your...

    My dragon runs away when I try to pick him up! :(

    Okay, so I've been continuing with the petting and feeding and he's been doing fine. Last night, I thought I would try to pick him up again (after having my shirt in his viv for 3 days). He let me!!!!! Oh, I was so excited. He just hung out with my boyfriend and I for about an hour, completely...

    My dragon runs away when I try to pick him up! :(

    He does okay with the petting. If he's standing up, sometimes he'll lay down when I pet him. I pet his body though, not his chin or head. Should I try petting his head or chin? :mrgreen: He eats well, I think. 20 crickets a day, plus greens and squash. But he hasn't pooped since the first day...

    My dragon runs away when I try to pick him up! :(

    Thanks for the advice! I believe they are - I will discontinue it. My nighttime temps with the night bulb are around 80, and without is around 60. I'm going to put a t-shirt in his tank tonight when we go to bed. Should I leave him alone for a while (as in, don't try to pick him up)? I've been...

    My dragon runs away when I try to pick him up! :(

    I just got him two days ago. I adopted him at 8 months old. His previous owners said he's very very friendly and loves everyone. Every time I try to pick him up, he just runs away from me! Everything in his tank is still the same (organized a little differently, maybe) and it's the same tank...
