    Liquid calcium vs powder

    My bearded dragon will only take calcium powder with super worms. If there is any powder on her roaches or crickets she will not eat them. I do not want to feed her only super worms. She already has health issues and I don’t want set backs with her not receiving calcium. I rather just give her...

    New enclosure heating issues. It’s to hot!

    I just got my new enclosures and there is a built in platform that is 12 inches from the uvb bulb and basking bulb. Unfortunately the basking bulb is causing the platform to heat up to over 110 degrees. I heard that you can use regular house light bulbs as basking bulbs. Is this true?

    Cleaning new enclosure

    I just got my custom beardie enclosures and the front is sliding plexiglass doors. Has/does anyone deal with plexiglass? I don’t want to ruin the plexiglass. Can you use chlorahexidine? I don’t want to plexiglass to fog or scratch up? Or should I just use water?

    Bathing bearded dragon

    My rescue bearded dragon is 4 years old and was never given a bath by her old owners. Giving her a bath now stresses her out so much. She hates it. I do not like putting to much stress on my beardies. Should I force her to bath or should I just stick with spraying her down with a bottle? She...

They are not kept in this pin all day long or un attended. I wanted people's opinions on the size of each pin. If I should make them a...
