Hey Everyone. For the past month and a half my dragon has been eating less and sleeping more that usual. I know this time of year a lot of dragons start to brumate, but I don't think he is brumating. During the day, he is awake and alert. He moves around and and basks. He does glass dance for...

For the past 6 weeks, my beardie has started eating less and less crickets and greens during feedings. This past week, he has nibble on his greens and has refused crickets. He has a bowl movement earlier today and has been napping ever since. I weighted him last weekend for his usual monthly...

Does anyone know how hot the heat tape can get compared to ambient air temperature? I am keeping my cricket and dubia colonies in my garage. During this past winter, when the outside temp was 0 degrees, my garage was about 25 degrees. I am trying to plan out how I can keep my crickets at 70...

Hey Everyone. I have my beardie in a 36x18x18 glass tank enclosure. I have the UVB bulb mounted inside is tank, and have the basking bulb sitting on top of the screen. I looked on here and saw people were using a household flood light as a basking bulb, instead of a bulb marketed for...

I want to use tile as a substrate in my dragon's tank, but all the tile my local Home Depot has is a smooth finish tile. I had a thought, if I flip the tile over and used the uncoated side, it will provide enough texture for him to walk on. The only problem I am seeing is the uncoated side will...

I have a 3 month old beardie and am keeping him in a 50 gal breeder tank. I want to build a 4x2x2 melamine enclosure so we only have to make one enclosure upgrade during his life.I know when a beardie goes from one enclosure to another, it causes stress. What is the best way to make the...

Hey everyone. I am planning on getting my first bearded dragon from a local breeder sometime in May. I have had beardies in the past as part of an impromptu local reptile rescue, so I know what to expect. I am thinking about breeding beardies in the future as a hobby. I have read the info that...

What is the difference between the Reptisun 10.0 and the 10.0 HO? I am planning on building a 4x2x2 enclosure out of melamine soon and am trying to decide on the fixture I need to get.

Has anyone used the new National Georgraphic enclosures for their beardies? If you have, how hard was it to build, and how sturdy is it? I am thinking of upgrading to it so I can approach my beardie from the side. Right now I have him in a tank so to interact with him I have to come in at him...

Hey Everyone, I am a first time beardie owner with a rescue juvie. He is warming up to me nicely. He eats out of my hand and lets me pet him all the time. He still does not like it when I try to pick him up, but we are working on that. Right now, his coloration on his body is awesome, but his...

I have a rescue beardie that I got 3 weeks ago. He is still getting used to me but he is not comfortable with me picking him up. I gave him a soak last week while I cleaned his tank, but he flaired his sides while in the tub and gave me the stink eye for the rest of the day. I have a water...

I have an odd question. How long does take before Dubias produce young roaches for feeding? I want to start a colony to save money on feeders and possibly make some selling them.

I have a rescue juvie that does not like crickets with powder calcium on them. I think the reason is that the original owner did not dust the crickets before feeding him so he is not used to them. Is there a liquid calcium on the market? And if so, who sells it? I am thinking this may be an...

Hey Everyone. I am a first time Beardie owner with a 7-8 month old rescue. These forums have been very helpful, along with the books I have been reading. I have two questions regarding feedings: 1. I dust the crickets before I put them in his cage BUT do I need to dust his veggies too? 2. I...

Hey Everybody. A little introduction: I am a first time Beardie owner. A friend of a friend wanted to get rid of his son's dragon because the son stopped taking care of it. The friend said that he got the dragon for his son 6 months ago and he loved it. BUT the son never handled the dragon and...
