I am so sick and tired of TECHNICALLY not being allowed to keep my Bearded dragon! BEGIN RANT\ I am in the process of moving from an apartment to a single family detached home, more specifically in the midst of buying a home. Unfortunately I have the penchant for digging into the most mundane...

Wow :shock: $10 for some crushed calcium carbonate? Glad I get mine for free... or rather a side effect of my love of eggs. Egg shells are pretty high in calcium carbonate as I've been told so I've been baking egg shells and grinding them up to a fine powder using a coffee grinder for the last...

That would explain why a few weeks after my husband fed off all the hornworms and threw away the cup was complaining about a swarm of gnats in the garbage can :lol: I was out of town for a few weeks after the worms arrived and thought he had just not thrown out the garbage for 2 weeks. Good to...

Is it possible to get pinworms from feeders? I got hornworms for the first time from dubiaroaches .com and when the worms came in they had these small white worms in the cup with them. I separated the tiny white worms from the hornworms as best I could but now I'm wondering if those tiny white...

Check the recommended distance for the bulb you bought, I've never heard of anyone putting a bulb a few inches from a basking or resting place where the beardie could touch it with his nose, it's possible your beardie may be getting too much UVB and attacking the bulb because it irritates him...

Is she closing both eyes or just the one nearest to you? My beardie when he was young would do that and I never got a clear answer on why, but it is common. One suggestion was that they close one eye is because they want you to think they're dead and keep the other open to look for a quick get...

I really like megaray bulbs, but if you want to use that you'll need a bigger tank, 10 gallon is barely the right size for a baby. Megaray bulbs produce both heat and UVB, though if you want to really make sure your beardie doesn't get MBD use the florescent tube you have on the cool end as...

There are some pretty epic tank setups that include tile floors. I use tile floors for my setup and my beardie was hanging out on the cool side or in his hide for a while. I got him a new basking platform that appears to hold more heat than the old one I was using. So I lowered the platform...

I also tie a 4-5 ft piece of yarn on my bearded dragon when he roams. I tie it around his waist right above the back legs so it doesn't bother him and he just trails it behind him wherever he goes. My tiny apartment has lots of little hiding spots for him so if he decides to hide under the couch...

My bearded dragon has always loved to dig when trying to sleep. When my beardie was younger I didn't have anything in the vivarium except a link n logs house, he would go in the house at night and scratch at the tile floor for a good hour before sleeping. Eventually I put a hand towel in the...

Trying not to scare your dragon is a good suggestion. You want the dragon to associate you with good experiences as much as possible. A front opening vivarium is better suited to make your dragon feel more comfortable when trying to pick them up. A large animal over top of them trying to pick...

My photobucket account has been suspended for "3rd party hosting" or else I would upload a picture. My bearded dragon Norbert is really stinking cute but there's this one behavior I've seen for about two months that I can't figure out why he does this. Pretty much all day he watches me...

Sorry for the late reply, I've only just gotten arround to making a dig box with the excavator clay due to moving and graduating college I've been quite bussy and short on money. Anyways, I just introduced a litterbox full of excavator clay into the vivarium. I let the clay only partially dry...

Doesn't look like there's a morph, looks like a nirmal beardie, but those red stripes are very beautiful. As they age their colors become more vibrant but the paterns tend to fade a little bit. Your beardie pill probably look like an orange citrus color or maybe a dark red/orange color when...

I'm not 100% sure about the gender of my bearded dragon but I'm fairly certain it's a male. Ever since I've gotten my beardie (5 months ago as a long awaited christmas pressent) he's been particularly fond of pushing his nose into corners/blankets/holes and making digging motion. Currently he's...

Interesting, I was told 90F. But yeah, I've had no problem with my bin staying between 80F and 90F, so 85F sounds good.

My problem is that my beardie is obsessed with jumping from the back of the couch into the trash can :S I now have him on the leash any time I take him out into the living room, so many places to run, hide, and get stuck in, the leash is my best option to letting my beardie spend time with me...

I'm trying to tie it short so that if beardie tries to jump off my sholder he would only fall less than a foot before being caught. Also the leash is made of some sort of stretchy bungie cord. I've discovered that taking the leash and looping it arround his waist in front of his back legs tends...
