I am hearing over at Facebook that hydration via the vent has been proven a myth and that bathing your dragon during brumation doesn't actually do anything unless they drink the bath water. If that is true then how do you hydrate your dragon if they don't wake up during their weekly bath time...

We're looking at building a custom wooden enclosure for my beardie when it gets bigger, but I wanted to make sure that we don't use a wood that he could get sick from or anything. My boyfriend wants to use a wood he knows will be good quality (marine-grade), so it would be Douglas-Fir or Western...

My baby beardie will only eat greens from my hand and not from a dish, so I am usually offering him greens as I feed him his worms. Should I offer those after I offer his worms? It seems like he may be filling up on greens and then not eating as many worms as he usually does and I know he needs...

My UVB Tube (Reptisun 10.0) is on top of my beardie's wire mesh and I know that can filter out some rays but adding a reflector supposedly can help with that. I have no way to mount it inside his viv right now since it's too short and he'd be able to crawl into it, so until he gets bigger this...

I want to make sure I am doing all I can so my little buddy will be my cuddle friend when he's older. Right now he's only been with me 3 weeks and he's just nearing 3 months but he can still be a bit skiddish at times. Sometimes I can put a worm in my palm and he'll run up on my hand and eat it...

Is there a season for them? And do they sell them at generic grocery stores like Walmart or Target - we don't have Whole Foods or Krogers in this area which were the first results that came up when I googled them. I know many people say that dandelion greens are their dragons favorite so I...

He just started eating 50+ feeders a day when we started Phoenix worms and now he looks pretty pudgy. Is this normal? I know he's a baby, I just worry. He's still pooping regularly (usually once a day, though he didn't poop yesterday and I got worried, but mom said he did today) and never seems...

Since I got my phoenix worms for my little guy, he's gone nuts for them. He will eat 20-25 small ones in one sitting. But now he won't eat two more times a day. He chows down on those for one sitting and then basks the rest of the day without eating much more. Is this a normal routine for a...

I was reading the superworm thread and it said not to feed superworms to beardies that are under 15 inches. What about the micro sized superworms? Why would they not be able to eat them?

When they are babies and shedding quite rapidly, is there any negative effects to giving them a bath every day to help them shed easier? Or would that somehow be bad for them? I have seen people say every other day, which is fine too, but I feel bad when he's got shed just hanging off and it's...

Beardie ate a bunch of dusted feeders this morning and they left a lot of dust behind in his enclosure. I saw him walking around licking up the calcium dust that was left behind on the floor. Is that okay? I don't want him to get sick from too much. Is it better to dust feeders in a container...

I'm sure it's been asked before, but it's hard to really search the forum for 'vegetables' and get exactly what I need. My baby (7 inches, 2 months about) eats feeders just fine, but I have yet to see him touch a vegetable. I know there is the tip of putting feeders into his veggies and I am...

I will be moving within the next six months or so. It is a three hour drive from here to my new location. My beardie will be only about 8-10 months at that point. Do you have some tips on moving with your dragon? Should I get him a warming blanket to snuggle in and/or keep him inside a small...

I didn't introduce myself first since I was a bit anxious, but let me say hello and I'm excited to meet all you other beardie lovers. I used to be a snake owner but craved a bit more interaction with my little guys and a beardie seemed like a logical next step. I got Hermes a couple of days ago...

My beardie (Hermes) is about 2 months old (7 inches) and I got him two days ago. I am still worried his setup isn't the best for him. His viv is 24x12x18 I got him a long tube UVB light yesterday and rearranged his furniture a bit so that he had a designated basking rock. I was shining the...
