Thanks for the help! I think I might try dubias next. I used to feed him BSFL but I guess he outgrew them, even the jumbo ones he just inhales and it leads to... very interesting poop... :shock: Bonus: New baby gecko, Sticky

He's crazy about strawberries. My sister was handing him a piece the other day and he just couldn't contain himself, he launched towards her and bit onto her thumb right along with the strawberry! I'm trying to ease off the bugs now, at least a little. How many live meals do you think he should...

Finally starting to put on some weight after a diet adjustment! Coming up with different salad combos every week or so is... kinda more fun than I expected. This week's menu: collard greens and bell pepper, topped with strawberry and a butterworm!

When Noot was a baby, I always would wet his worms before feeding them to him so he could get water that way, because he hated (and still hates) taking a bath. Now he eats more vegetables and bigger, juicier worms, so I don't really have to do it anymore, but that's what helped for me.

My beardie was my first reptile pet and he has changed the way I think about reptiles in general. I find caring for him and hanging out with him and watching him grow to be very rewarding. I did kinda rush into getting one, and have had to quickly learn as I go while also spending more money...

Just saw my first head bobs out of Noot! Guess my baby is growing up!

I have a young beardie on bsfl and he's always eaten 50 or more per feeding. He's crazy for them! This past week I've been adding a couple butterworms or hornworms to his meals and he LOVES it, he'd probably eat them all if I let him.

Well, Noot's first poop after installing the new uvb was smooth and absolutely worm-free! I guess it was an issue with that, but it's time to upgrade to bigger worms and other bugs anyway. I can't believe how much he's growing! Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts with me.

Whoops I did miss your post AHBD! Perhaps I have gone and spooked myself :lol: First time owner and all... But I've been thinking of letting him try dubias for a while, so now is as good a time as any! He's also tried and LOVED silkworms, but somehow I found them gross so they are a "sometimes"...

Hi everyone, thanks for the replies! I thought at first he just ate too much or too quickly since usually I handfeed him, but last week I had to just give him a bowl full of worms every day before I ran off to work, and handfed in the evening. However he seems to still be pooping them out even...

So the past couple days I noticed that Noot is suddenly passing whole BSFL in his poop... a couple were even alive! That was... well, horrific, and I'd hoped it was just a one-time occurrence, but it keeps happening now (thankfully no more live ones). It is still a typical color for him, and not...

Yes! Though Yoshi gained the nickname "Noot" somewhere along the way! Here he is on the first day I brought him home vs. him today! ...and growing! :blob8:

Noot had been getting kinda frosty-looking for a while, and finally yesterday I came home to this Plus a ton of flaky bits on the tank floor!

I got mine from a Pet Supplies Plus. I'd never heard of it before, but one opened up near me last fall and I love it! The employees at my location are great, and one in particular owns beardies and other reptiles himself. The cages and tanks for all their animals are always clean. Seems like...

My Noot usually likes to sleep on top of this little Buddha thing I have in there, or on the fake plant. Every now and then he'll sleep under one of the plant's leaves, too. Pretty soon he'll be too big for either of those things! Only every now and then will he fall asleep right where he is.

I also agree that Lemonizer seems to have the drive for the dragon. But I also think kingofnobbys and eeaston among others have brought up some very valid points, food for thought if you will, and don't deserve to be attacked or dismissed. It's also useful reading for people out there who may...

Whoa, the snark is strong. eeaston was just giving their two cents, they might not have read every reply Anyway you seem dead-set on the beardie and I think your reasonings are good, especially since you plan to keep earning and saving money. Good luck and hopefully you get it!!

I agree with Gormagon. I've found that the people here sometimes may seem harsh or blunt, and you might feel embarrassed or put off, but really they just want to ensure that everyone's dragons are getting the proper care! However I also agree with nobby in that maybe you might want to share this...

' I actually didn't know you could work at 14, but I guess it depends where you live! Where I'm at most places hire at 15 minimum, but usually 16. But if you're able to get a job that'd be perfect for getting money together a lot quicker! You may have to work beyond the summer though to pay for...

As a new beardie owner (had him since December) I can say that money will probably be your biggest hurdle as a 13 year-old. Setup for me was very expensive, especially because I did it improperly initially and had to go out and buy correct lighting afterward. Plus I had to get furniture...
