Hi, Sarkan is my first beardie, and I love him dearly. I adopted him from a rescue centre earlier this month, but because he's my first beardie I'm constantly worried about him. I've posted before in the health subforum about some questions, and I was really grateful for the replies from...

Hi everyone, I'm probably being overly cautious, but I've never owned a bearded dragon before, and I have no baseline for his behaviour and/or health... I just want to do right by my beardie, I want what's best for him. I got Sarkan (an adult beardie, age unknown) from the reptile rescue...

Hi everyone! I've been posting on this forum for a while now, trying to get everything ready for the arrival of my beardie. Well, yesterday I finally got him. Sarkan is a big adult male, who has been living in a reptile rescue centre for a while now. His age and background are unknown. I...

I (finally) get my beardie this weekend, so excited! But before I got him I wanted to check if this routine is ok for him (he's an adult, very big, but I have no idea of his age, I'm adopting him from the reptile rescue centre): Lights on at 6 am, off at 11 pm. Every day: a salad with...

Tomorrow I'm going to the reptile rescue centre to pick a beardie, I'm so excited! I won't be allowed to take him/her with me yet, they first get a last check with the vet, and a chip, but in a few weeks we'll have our newest housemate. I spend today trying to get the temperatures right, but I'm...

The beautifuldragons food list (http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutritionframeset.html) names chicory as one of the safe things to feed a beardie. I just wondered if they mean this (wat we in Belgium call "witloof"): according to wikipedia, this vegetable is called chicory in the UK, but...

Hi everyone! I finally finished my enclosure yesterday, after many many delays... But I would feel better if one or more of you took a look to tell me how I can improve it even more (I do have a few concerns). I have an ordinary LED light on the left, to provide more light, and a heat bulb on...

Hi, I'm making my own fake rock background/basking platform, and I've just finished cutting everything out of styrofoam. But now before I start to glue everything together, I had a couple of questions, since this will be my first beardie, and I want to do right by him/her. First of all, the...

Hi, I guess I'm not the first one to ask this, but what sealant is best for fake rock walls? I've been looking for mod podge, but I live in Belgium and I looked in DIY stores and hobby shops, but I just can't find it. Anything else that you'd recommend? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I just bought my first enclosure today, I'm so excited! First step in getting a beardie! I'm planning to make a fake rock background with platforms from styrofoam, but I'm still working on the details, hence my question: I want to connect the platforms with wooden bridges, like...

Hi, I was just wondering if there were any Belgian beardie owners here? Or the Netherlands maybe? I'm Flemish, and I don't have a beardie yet, I'm still collecting info and asking all kinds of questions, so it would be nice to ask somebody who lives here about where to buy what... Thanks!

Hi, I haven't got a beardie yet, I'm still in the collect-information-phase, but I had some questions about diet. So I know I should feed an adult beardie about 70% veggies, and 30% insects, but how much veggies would that be? Like, a handful every day? More? And if you buy dubias or crickets...

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but I had a question. If you build a fake rock wall with basking platform etc, how do you clean it? I wouldn't want to damage it or something (you know, when I've finished building it...) Thanks!

Hi, I'm new, obviously, and I've been thinking about getting a bearded dragon. I have read a lot about the care and needs of a beardie, but I haven't bought anything yet, I want to get it right the first time. I still have some questions though: What's the best age/size to get for a beginner...
