    Advice for a beginner to CWDs

    I don't mind having to do the research and learn about them- the care doesn't have to be the same as bearded dragon care. I've just started the research today so yes I have a lot of questions but I wouldn't be getting one for a few months so I have time to learn! Just wanted to see if anybody...

    Advice for a beginner to CWDs

    I've owned bearded dragons so i have experience in reptiles, but I'm considering a Chinese water dragon! Are their heating and lighting needs the same as beardies? Are there any needs/requirements that they don't tell you in the pet stores (for example for beardies: don't use sand, don't feed...

    Thoughts on making this armoire into an enclosure?

    http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/fuo/5535213421.html I was thinking about making this into an enclosure for Milo since it already has glass doors and a light fixture (though I'll still have to mount his UVB in). Any thoughts? It's 7ft x 38in x 16in. Since it's tall, I'd have to have a lot of...

    Substrate Opinions Please

    I'm not sure about prices bc I can't remember but i got my bearded two slate tiles from lowes. Slate is not slippery but ceramic is so I'd recommend slate!

    Questions about DIY cage

    http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/fuo/5403554715.html Considering this one since it already has glass doors and I wouldn't have to add any. I'll have to make vents though

    Questions about DIY cage

    Also if I'm buying something and the inside is not bare wood (it's like shiny), will it be safe or do I still have to put some sort of nontoxic sealant over it?

    Questions about DIY cage

    Alright thank you! Do you think 19 inches deep is doable? All of the armoires I can find are around that. I was planning on building a rock wall and having multiple levels also

    Beardie has been black bearding for hours for no reason

    Yes his beard has remained his normal color! Something else I noticed today when I took him out of his cage today is that there was some blackness on his back. It was like something was on it. At first I thought he may have gotten poo on his back somehow, but there's no poo in his cage so I'm...

    Beardie has been black bearding for hours for no reason

    I fed him around 2pm and he was doing this at 8pm :( it freaked me out a bit as I've never seen him do this before but he stopped!

    Beardie has been black bearding for hours for no reason

    Is hiccuping normal..? I was sitting near his cage and all of a sudden he started puffing his beard and doing a sort of hiccuping thing, and then started licking the way he does when I drop water on his snout. Not sure if I'm being super paranoid or if it's actually something worth worrying about

    Thanks! He seems perfectly fine today thankfully.

    Questions about DIY cage

    Also if I put a screen lid on top of it and maybe a couple of vents, would that be enough air flow? And if the lid is metal or aluminum will it filter out the uvb? I'm not sure about how to go about hanging the lights inside so I figure if I can just set them on top that would be easier :)

    Questions about DIY cage

    Alright thank you so much! Yeah I've only really seen long cages on here- not tall ones, so I wasn't sure about that! But we're going to look for a different piece of furniture rather than the one I posted. How deep should it be? I've seen some that are only 12 inches deep and I figure that's...

    Questions about DIY cage

    So me and my dad have been thinking about it and we talked to a friend who gave us some tips on converting an armoir. We're going to try to find one on Craigslist and take the wood doors off the hinges and put glass in them! I'm really excited. My dad couldn't care less about my pet so I'm...

    Beardie has been black bearding for hours for no reason

    Exactly- not lethargic just sitting in the same spot. He's been alert with his head up. Thankfully he finally stopped black bearding a few minutes ago and moved onto his log where he likes to sleep (it's almost bedtime here). But we'll see how he is tomorrow!

    Beardie has been black bearding for hours for no reason

    Okay thank you so much! He's still sitting in the same spot with the black beard and it's been almost 6 hours :(

    Beardie has been black bearding for hours for no reason

    No he hasn't been aggressive at all! He's only black bearded one other time (it was last week) and it was because I accidentally scared him. But it's good to know that it's normal with aging! I'll keep an eye on it though

    Beardie has been black bearding for hours for no reason

    Milo has been black bearding today for more than 3 hours. He was in his hide and then I put some greens in his cage for him to eat. He ate some and then randomly started black bearding (but not puffing or hissing or anything). He's been sitting in the same exact spot for the 3 hours that he's...
