I'm considering using plyboard. Is it fine to use any plywood (like pine) or must I find a different wood? I heard some wood is bad for reptiles when used as substrate so I'm not sure if that extends to the enclosure or not. I'll probably end up painting it a medium brown to blend in with the...

Makes sense; I have to clean the grout more than the tiles in my current setup. How is the melamine holding up? I heard that it comes apart more easily than wood. Do the screws/nails stay in well? On wood, should I worry about the type? I know some kinds of wood can be toxic to reptiles. Also...

Thanks for the information! Gormagon, what material is your tank made of? My point with the grout floor is that it'll create a rough surface and yet not be able to come loose. Most tile I've seen doesn't have much of a texture to it, except for slate, and I'd like to have the bottom be one...

I was planning on making a 4x2x2 enclosure this summer for my bearded dragon, but this is my first time so I'm not completely sure how. First, I wasn't sure what to make it out of. I see people are using melamine and plywood but I'm not a fan of either. I heard melamine doesn't stand up really...

Thank you. :D I thought it was mouth rot or something at first but then I thought that would only appear gradually. I'll apply honey and remove loose crickets. Thanks again for the assistance.

He hasn't been doing that recently that I have seen, however his food was spread out and his plants were knocked over today when I got home so he may have been. My background is foam and grout with mod-podge over it, with the area in his hide having sand so to help wear his claws down. Whatever...

Sorry, here's a better picture:

This Bearded Dragon is a year and seven months old. I was cleaning the tank today and noticed that the scale on the front of his bottom jaw was turned brown. Is this a color change or is it possible that this is something else? He pooped today (which is why I was cleaning in the first place) and...

Thank you both for the replies. I used Gorilla Glue for adhesive and Great stuff for gaps. I just finished the grout and move-in day is tomorrow. I will show pictures when everything is ready.

I'm nearly finished with the foam and I was wondering what form of glue or adhesive to use? The only thing I've used which works with foam is Gorilla Glue, but I wasn't sure about fumes, etc. My rock formation will be coated in grout. Thanks.

Thank you. I chose that kind because it was well-textured and looked like rock.

Thanks, Taterbug, for your reply. I have considered going bigger but right now I do not have much space to do so. The false rocks, however, will not be large. Perhaps I will build the crossfire in the future. As for tile, is porcelain okay? I found a brand called "Roman Stone" I liked. As I'm...

My bearded dragon is quickly outgrowing its 20 gallon tank and I am going to begin construction on its permanent 40 Gallon habitat.I'm not sure, though, of a few things. After reading about the risks of sand, I was considering placing tiles on the floor of my tank. Is there a particular kind to...

Thank you, CooperDragon. I have found this forum quite useful and will definitely use it in the future. :D

Thanks. I'll try the dropper/syringe. I just hope s/he will cooperate. :) The entire underside, as well as the beard, are sometimes marked, in the morning and evening, but the marks are no longer as defined as they were.

Thank you. I will photograph it momentarily. Pooping is regular, though today it is less watery (could just be from heat from lamp, though). EDIT: Picture:

Hello, I had just found this forum while researching problems I am having and found the ER board a very convenient idea. As for my dragon, it (not sure whether m/f) is at least four months old and about 11 inches long, not to my knowledge a particular breed, just a 'natural' one. I'm not sure if...
