I have thermometers on the hot and cool side of my beardie's enclosure (digital not the analog ones) and lately the weather in my area has reached the 80s and I've noticed that the cool side has been in the 90s with the warm side hitting 100. I have a rheostat on the basking lamp but it only...

I have never built a single thing made of wood and screws and nails before, but I'm excited to undertake this building projects for my beardie. The funds are in so now all I need to do is prepare my shopping list, get the items, and get to work! Trouble is: I don't know how to plan for what I'll...

These past two days, my beardie has begun to scramble along the perimeter of his enclosure, clawing at the wall and not settling down much at all. He especially gets into one corner on the basking side and glass surfs like he wants to climb or get out. He has a backdrop and it almost looks like...

It's been about 4 weeks since Mizu has become a family member and my brother has been a huge help. Along the way, he realised how much he adores bearded dragons and wants one to call his own (he's 17). It just so happened I was scheduling a purchase with a guy selling reptile tanks and he...

So I just came back from the grocery store with fresh bell peppers, a butternut squash (whole), and three cactus leaves. How should I prepare these three so they are easiest for my Mizu to munch down. Especially the cactus as I don't know if he can eat the outer skin fine or I need to peel it?

As I'm going to be getting my tax refund back in the coming weeks, I want to start laying down solid plans for a DIY enclosure for Mizu. I wanted to know if MDF is a suitable plywood to build with instead of lumber and, one of my major paranoia concerns, if anyone has experienced their beardie...

What DIY hides do people have or what materials do you recommend for building a hide for their beardie? Shoe boxes? Small plastic bins? I currently have rock slaps made into a little hut but 1) the space for my dragon boy isn't optimal and 2) I don't want to imagine the rocks slipping while he's...

So I'm an EMT and I work 13hr overnight shifts and at the moment I do not have a day/night timer outlet for the UVB and basking lamps. This means that I need someone to unplug the lamps when it's Mizu's bed time. I created thorough instructions in a binder (obsessive need to be organised with...

I want to invest in a thermostat/rheostat (not sure if there's a difference in what each entails?) but I wanted to know if there's limitation on what they can control. Can I use one to control a basking lamp? Under the tank heating pad (extending the question for my boa's enclosure here). I'm...

My beardie Mizu is an adult on the thin side. Previous owner was not generous with feeding regularly. I have been feeding him gut-loaded crickets and mixed greens (collard, kale, turnip) powdered with calcium and multivitamin and he readily gobble that up--the crickets and the greens. But since...

What recommendations do you have for a good tank thermometer/hygrometer? I know to stay away from dial but I'm struggling to find a digital one with both that looks promising for inside the tank. Should I get one that has a probe or one that can sit in the tank in a corner of the basking and...

This might be a bit long! So my father keeps snakes. He rescues them. We have 11 snakes and one of them is a recent addition coming from the same home that my beardie was rescued from. But it was my decision to take the beardie from my coworker. My father was only anticipating me bringing the...

Hello! I'm new to having a bearded dragon and I felt it was a good idea to join a forum all about them, especially because my father likes to think he's an expert in reptiles (my father rescues snakes) but he often does things I strongly disagree with. I got my beardie by way of a coworker who...
