    Black colouring on foot?

    Hi all, I noticed today that my beardie has some black colouring on one of his back feet. I've never seen this before, is it harmless or should I be worried? He seems otherwise fine. Thanks!

    Plain vs Zebra Silkworms??

    I was looking at buying some silkworms, and I was wondering if there's a big difference between plain and zebra silkworms? Is one preferential to the other?

    Temperatures for going outside?

    Was wondering if there's an actual temperature range which you can take beardies outside in? I normally just take him out when it feels warm to me, but we're coming up to summer and I don't want to accidentally overheat him.

    Sleeping lots

    I have a 7 month old, and recently he seems to be spending a lot more time underneath his log (in the shade). He used to only sleep there, but lately he's been going under almost straight after he eats, and sometimes when I get home and go to feed him in the afternoon, he seems to be under there...

    Repashy Calcium Plus

    I read a while ago that Repashy Calcium Plus (like this one https://www.store.repashy.com/calcium-plus-4-oz-bag.html) is suitable as calcium and vitamin supplements (as opposed to separate vitamin/mineral powders), just wanted to check if that's correct? I'm planning to order that, as well as...

    He's growing up! :D

    My little guy finally reached 100g the other day, so I thought I'd post some baby pictures to celebrate :D They start from when I first got him at 1 month old. (Sorry for the silly captions; my friends love him almost as much as I do!) When I first got him, he was tiny (the scale is hard to...

    How often to replace UVB?

    I have an Arcadia T5 12% with a reflector behind it. How often should the tube be replaced? I hear conflicting information (some say as often as 4 months, others say the T5s can go out to a year, all sorts of things!)

    Stabilising raised logs/sticks?

    Hi all, My little guy is growing quite quickly now, and I'm starting to worry that the logs in his enclosure might not be stable enough now that he is getting big. I was wondering if anyone had ideas for securing them? I was thinking of screwing a large base onto the big log, but I'm a bit...

    Does anyone actually have a cricket colony?

    Was wondering if anyone here has a successful cricket colony? I had no issues breeding them (there must have been thousands of pinheads over the course of a few weeks) but had no luck raising them. I had a grand total of 0 grow to an edible size. I'm sure it's possible, does anyone have advice...

    Licking things?

    My baby keeps licking everything. It's pretty quick, just sort of, taps things with his tongue. I've seen him do it to the logs he basks on, and even a cricket once (he wasn't trying to eat it from what I could see... Just wanted to touch it with his tongue???) Is this normal? Am I missing...

    Is he looking alright?

    Just wanted a quick opinion from some more experienced owners about whether my beardie is looking healthy (especially his weight). Nothing in particular has caused me to be concerned, but you can never worry about them too much, right?

    Feeding BSFL in a bowl??

    My bsfl came today! I had everything set up, ready to feed and grow them... and then instead of the little yellow guys I was expecting, I got great big black things, ready to pupate. Oops :lol: Little guy loved them though, scarfed 5 of them (doesn't sound like a lot, but they're huge and he's...

    UV Reflectors-Good or Not?

    I've always heard reflectors behind UV tubes spoken about positively... But now that I actually have one, I feel like it concentrates the UV down in a line and stops it spreading throughout the viv, and I haven't figured out a way to get my basking spot under both the heat lamps and the UV...

    BSFL-Size between the eyes?

    Was wondering if the rule about only feeding things smaller than the size between the eyes still applied for BSFL? I have some on the way but I have no idea what size they're going to be hahaha

    Basking Spot

    Ok so I kind of have 2 questions in one. I'm trying to get my beardie closer to the UV tube. First, what's the best basking spot placement in my viv? My heat lamps and UVB don't really line up. It looks sort of like this from a bird's eye view: At the moment his basking spot is under the two...

    He's not growing?

    I have a baby beardie, he's about 4 months old now (wow, time flies!). I'm a bit concerned, as he isn't growing at all. He's still the same weight as when I got him 3 months ago (about 6 or 7 grams). He didn't have proper UV for a while (I got sold a dodgy light when I got him, and had to get...

    Urate without poop?

    My baby beardie sometimes poops in his feeding tub, this afternoon there was a urate but no poop... Is this normal/does this sometimes happen? He did already poop earlier today. He ate about 30 crickets this morning, only two this afternoon though, he wasn't very interested and the two that he...

    Crickets not laying eggs...

    I'm trying to breed some crickets. I've got about 50 in the tub, most of them are adult females and there are a couple adult males and 2 or 3 that are the same size but haven't developed wings yet. I hear them moving around and the males chirping at night. They've been adults for a couple of...

    Sore eyes

    Taking my beardie out to feed him today, I noticed that he's slowly blinking his eyes and I think they might be getting sore (they're normally wide open whenever I'm nearby, he still isn't used to me). I think it might be his UVB bulk; it's a 5.0 t8 reptile one brand. I'm working on getting a...

    T5 fittings??

    I want to pop a reptisun T5 10.0 22" in my tank. I cannot. Get. A fitting. Anywhere. I can order the bulb from amazing amazon, but I don't want to get the zoomed hood because it's super expensive, and my big has a wooden top so it needs to attach to the INSIDE, not sit on the outside. I've tried...
