So I have decided to give my boys Bell Peppers for the first time. I got Yellow, Orange and a Red to see about a variety (see what they go for). How should I prepare them? I started on the yellow one (cut it in small, diced pieces) and then was wondering if I should skin it? I took the core and...

I joined a Bearded Dragon group on Facebook to communicate with fellow Beardie lovers - and to get advise when needed. Well one day I was browsing fellow posts and noticed someone mentioned they gave their juvenile Bearded Dragon Calcium (with D3) dusted food 5x per week, then had their food...

Okay, so my cousin went to a pet store a short while back and found freeze-dried crickets and persuaded her mother into buying them for my Beardies. Now I wasn't keen on them as freeze-dried anything doesn't have really any nutritional value and I was a bit concerned about impaction (although if...

I want to begin by apologizing if this is in the wrong section - I figured it went hand-in-hand. Okay, so background information: I was giving Sparx her (which actually might be a he...) nightly bath and I decided to put her "bath tote" in the bath tub as she's grown quite a bit and can easily...

I've been noticing that Sparx hasn't been digesting her crickets properly (I recently upgraded them from 1/4" and 3/8" to 1/2" - and they came in slightly larger than 1/2"). I have a second Beardie who is a smidge smaller than Sparx and he's been digesting them well. They're kept in similar...

I've owned Sparx for a couple months now and she's doing wonderfully - and of course, my friend ended up wanting a baby Beardie too. Well yesterday was our local Reptile Expo and a group of friends and I went. I was planning on getting either a Tokay or a Leopard Gecko and everyone else wanted...

I went to the local reptile expo and was planning on getting either a Tokay Gecko or a Leopard Gecko - although I was leaning more towards a Leo due to being able to handle it a bit more. Well, I went there and didn't see a single Tokay so I guess my decision was made - wrong. One final lap...

I've had baby Sparx for almost two months now (since Sept. 7th) and she's still a bit skittish. She's as healthy as can be (she eats about 20+ crickets per feeding, 50 Phoenix/ReptiWorms per day and some bits of her salad), gets bathed daily, has shed a handful of times since I brought her home...

So I've been presented with an opportunity to bring home either a Leopard Gecko or a Tokay Gecko - and I don't know which one to buy. :roll: Now I've done extensive research on both geckos so I am aware of their care requirements (I've been looking into them both for a couple years now) and I...

Okay, so I decided to get Sparx a longer aquarium (20L) instead of a tall and now my tanks temperature is sitting at about 95*F. I am just wondering if it'd be okay if I cover some of the screen with something so it holds more of the heat in. I think since I have a larger screen area now it's...

Perhaps I'm entirely wrong about Sparx's age, which shame on me - I forgot to ask the breeder when I purchased her, but I always said she was about two months old or so when I bought her (again, that's entirely an "uneducated" guess on my behalf). Now when I got her she was about 6" roughly and...

Figured I love updating people with photos and stories of my baby girl, Sparx, but alas, I only have so many friends and family who are willing to listen to my reptiStories for a short amount of time. :lol: Might as well share them with fellow beardie lovers - so here I am! To start, I'll just...

Seeing as I have a baby beardie who likes to pack down crickets and they're fairly expensive to purchase, ship and feed - I'm thinking of getting into breeding my own colony as a way to save a bit of money. My couple questions are: dubias or crickets? I've heard mixed reviews where some people...

New, uneducated-but learning Beardie owner here. Tomorrow I will be returning my coil UVB light to Petsmart and will be purchasing a ReptiSun bulb. Now my question is - what wattage should the bulb be? Online I have 15W, 17W and 32W as options. Any particular wattage that I should choose...

So I bought a baby bearded dragon a few weeks ago - well, she's about 3 months old now. As of now I give her as many crickets as she pleases 2x per day (I try to squeeze in a 3rd feeding but am not always successful) as well as Kale for a leafy green and she eats almost all the Kale I provide -...

I figured instead of going into details about myself I'd just jump into how I acquired Sparx. On September 7th, 2014 (a mere 16 days ago) a friend and myself decided to go to a Reptile Expo in hopes that I would find a Leopard Gecko companion. I know, I know - many of you are already bending...
