I adopted a "adult" male beardie from a reptile rescue group last week. He is 17" however is literally half the size of my other guys which mind you is still not a terrible body mass especially considering the condition it was in when the rescue took him in which was skeletal. He required force...

He is a 3 year old petsmart "fancy" which best of what I can determine he is a watered down citrus tiger type dude. Either way...to me he is the most interesting lizard out there; despite the fact his personality is that of an angry wet cat :roll:

Hello all! Due to my sunblaster HOT5 biting the dust and issues with heat bulbs recently I have decided to tidy up my dude's viv and go with a 160watt MVB from exo terra. I have this in a deep dome mounted on the screen. He is in a 36x18x36 exo-terra with a hammock which he uses to bask placed...

Hello all! I am looking to get into Uromastyx...and am planning a fairly large enclosure to house multiples. As I want my 2 dog crates to fit under the cage(it will take up no more space in the spare bedroom) I am thinking of building something around 6ft Lx 4ft Wx 2ft H. I want to build this...

I am somewhat concerned for my beardie; she has over the past month stopped eating any sort of vegetation. She used to hand feed greens(collards mostly), bell pepper, carrots, squash, strawberries and the occasional watermelon or tomato with gusto. She would also mow down any amount of Dubia I...

I just got Yoda's new terrarium in a few days ago; I opted for the ExoTerra 36x18x36 since she is quite the climber. Needless to say she is loving life in her larger cage(had a 40B). Due to space requirements her lamps are all inside the enclosure...which lets me vary basking temps a lot. She...

I just bought my girlie the 36Lx18Wx36T cage from ExoTerra...killer sale at Petco.com got it for $215+tax. It was only about 20bucks more than the 24" tall version so I figured why not. I will have to mount my fixtures inside the viv due to space...I have 2xMini Deep Domes and a 36" HOT5...

I am thinking about building a custom reptile enclosure for my bearded dragon. She is quickly outgrowing her 40B and for the cost of online cages not to mention the wait time to get one I could easily purchase materials and do this myself. I am planning to build one similar to what Boamaster...

I am looking at replacing my aquarium at work with a Gecko...I know the basics of their care, but want to see what others thoughts are on leaving it alone on weekends. I work M-F and would of course leave plenty of food out and use timers. Here is my plan: 10G tank....3 hides, 1 hot, 1...

Ive had her for 4 months and got her from Petsmart as the typical baby 6"-ish size....she has rapidly grown into the 14-15" fat sassy creature she is today :lol: Giving me the sour side eye waiting for her Dubia Disillusions of being a raptor Stalking the poor roaches My fav pic of her so...

I had considered a plastic enclosure for my quickly growing girl...mainly because I want front doors. The cost and fact most of them are low...makes it not look like a great option for me. Thus I found out that Carolina Dragons has a division of cage builders and I can get a 48Lx18Wx24H cage...

Anyone using an Animal Plastics Cage? I am looking into their "The Carpet Cage" which is 36Lx24Wx15T it has a built in basking shelf and I can customize the vents, doors, and add an 18" T8 fixture inside to use for UV. I currently have a 40B and am looking for something a little bigger...

My girlie is in the 14-15" range counting tail of course....however I got her as a baby from Petsmart only 4 months ago. She was maybe 6-7" at the time. I have heard from others that this is a very rapid growth rate...as she "shouldnt" be this size until she is around 1 year old. She eats...

Im tossing around the idea of getting a Uro since Im really falling in love with reptiles after getting my first beardie. I dont want another insect dependent species and would prefer a vegetarian. I have done some reading and there is a lot of conflicting info on tank size for a Uro geyri. Some...

My beard is quite picky....which I assume is typical for a juvie. I purchased her at 6-7" from Petsmart about a month ago. She has grown quite a bit and is now (best guess) 8-9" and much more plump than she once was. I keep salad in the tank for her at all times; will place bits of carrot...

I have had my dragon about 2 weeks...she was a rather feisty Petsmart "fancy" and honestly appears to be doing quite well. I do have some feeding concerns. When i got her I purchased BSFL, Supers, and Dubai...initially she mauled the BSFL and Supers but not the Dubai. Now she ONLY eats the...

I got my first beard on Saturday from a petshop...we opted for the most active one in the bunch which darted from its basking spot to glass dance in front of us and was busy scurrying around the enclosure. I am confident she is a healthy lizard due to activity, and fact she keeps her head lifted...

I am considering biting the bullet and keeping Dubia...I have kind of warmed up to the idea and the possibility of free food is nice. I have a 10 gallon tank with a mesh top from a past rodent....could I use that? I know they need egg crates, don't use bedding, use water gel, and feed them...

I finally got all of my "stuff" in to keep a beardie. I have a 100w basking light, deep dome mini, 2x16" ceramic tiles over a reptile carpet(easier to spot clean), some nice grapewood, natural rocks, 24" t8 reptisun 10.0 mounted inside the tank, infrared temp gun from Lowes, and a hygrometer...

I have been doing some research and have found that some folks are buying their enclosure supplies from the local hardware store. Admittedly this would save me quite a bit of money so I an certainly considering it. Would anyone tell me if these products would work okay? Temperature gun...
