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...

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...

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...

I've been looking at the diy enclosures on here and they are so cool! I've been thinking about trying to convert an old dresser into one, but I don't even know where to start and I can't seem to find any good tutorials online. Do I need to put vents in it? How do I mount the lights? Do I seal...

Today we were laying in bed together all cuddled up in blankets, and then he ran away from me onto my bed. I totally thought he was about to poo because he started lifting up his tail like he always does when he's about to poo, and I didn't want to have to clean up poo off my bed and have to...

What type of worm would be best for a juvenile beardie? Waxworms, superworms, hornworms? I was also wondering how many of them my 13-inch guy will eat? What do I do with the leftovers? Thanks for answering my questions! It's much appreciated.

We recently started an herb garden so I am wondering what is safe for my beardie to eat! He is 11 months old (wow!!! they grow up so fast). We are growing mint, sage, basil, chives, and much more. Are any of those safe? What else can we grow that would be good for him? I also have a question...

Milo poops whenever I let him out of his cage- whether on me, the carpet, my BED!!, the kitchen counter top-- EVERY single time I let him out of his cage, he poops on something! I don't know what to do about it. Not only is it such a hassle to clean up, but it's extremely unsanitary.. Does any...

I just got a tube uvb light but the fixture doesn't have a reflector so the light goes like everywhere, does anyone know any way to make a reflector from household items like aluminum foil or something?

When I got home from school Milo and I enjoyed some sunshine outside together for a lil and then I put him back in his cage for a few hours. I took him out again and got him to eat some greens while he explored my bedroom. My closet door is one of those sliding mirror ones, so in other words I...

I've read that meal worms are bad because it's hard for young beardies to digest. What bugs do you guys suggest, and what size, for a 9" beardie?

My beardie hatched on Junuary 30. I got him when he was about 2 and a half months old. The first picture is from the week I got him. (With his head straight he was about 8 inches). The second picture is from now. I feel like he's hardly grown since I got him! Is this normal? Will he always be...

These are from a few months ago. I took these pictures for a photography course in school and thought I'd share! My teacher really liked "how he looked so cute, even though he's a reptile". LOL

I live on the beach and I was wondering what you guys thought about taking Milo to the beach? I'm just figuring some natural uvb and sun could be good for him. Of course I'd have some shade for him so he doesn't get too hot (I live in Florida). Not sure if I'd bring a mesh outdoor cage (which I...

Milo's UVB bulb burnt out and I'm looking to buy a new one. He had a compact bulb but I was warned that it could cause eye damage and really is just generally not the best kind of UVB bulb. A few of you guys suggested the tube kind (i think that's what it's called) but I honestly can't afford to...

We just moved into a new house, so for a few days I had Milo staying at my sister's house. We had to put him and his tank into the car and drive him over there, where he stayed for maybe 4-5 days. I made sure she knew about his lamps and food. Her daughter (6) LOVED him and took him out of his...

Today was just a good day! Took Milo outside for some natural sunlight which he really enjoyed. Then brought him in and fed him some greens with calcium supplement, which he ate a TON of to my surprise. Then I gave him a bath and he drank a TON of water which was great! Really happy!

I haven't been feeling so great today, so I decided to let Milo come out and cuddle up with a blanket to watch some TV. I've only had Milo since Friday night, and the longest I've had him out of the cage is probably about 5 minutes, besides when I take him out side (and put him in a hamper) to...

Okay so I currently have a coil uvb light for Milo, which I've recently learned doesn't give off enough uvb. Until I'm able to buy a tube light and the fixture (which can be pretty pricey), I've been trying to take him outside so that he can get some natural rays. How long does he have to be out...

I just got Milo over the weekend and I've been working little by little to set up a nice cage for him. I just picked up a couple of fake plants and a background from petsmart yesterday. I feel like it needs something more, though.. Maybe more branches? I'm not sure. Any ideas would be great! I'd...
