    Growth charts

    Hey all! I have been keeping detailed growth records, but would love some to compare to. Does anybody have growth charts (age, weight, length, etc) for their dragons that they would share? Specifically charts, rather than graphs would be great! Thanks a bunch!

    How close to uv is too close?

    I am upgrading hides and climbing sticks as my little beardie is growing like crazy (yay!?) and I was wondering how far I should keep stuff away from the uv light. I have a t5 ho 10.0, mounted underneath the screen. Is there a concern that he/she would get too close to the uv or would he/she...

    Aquarium decorations

    Hello, I was looking at some aquarium decorations that I like, but I was wondering if my beardie would be able to climb them or if it would be slippery/no traction. Anybody have experience? Thanks!

    Grape vine?

    I apologize if this has been asked before, but I did search and couldn't find the answer. What type of wood is best for climbing? The pet stores around here mostly have grape vine (dried), but I've been reading online that people have trouble with them molding. I know beardie tanks are mostly...

    Bored?

    I think my dragon is getting bored with his food. With only a few bugs in the mix (dubia and bsfl all the time with the occasional hornworm) I can see why. Do your beardies get bored of their food? How do you combat that? Feed a mix at every meal? Feed one thing and switch what you feed each...

    Different behavior

    Hello all! The people on this site have been so helpful, that I thought I'd pick your brains again; thanks in advance! My dragon has been acting a little different for the past 2 ish days. He is about 4 months old best guess. 10" long 45g. He normally eats 50+ bsfl and dubia a day, but for the...

    Going to sleep early?

    My beardie has lately been going to sleep a little before the lights turn off. Not super early, maybe an hour. I didn't think much of it, but I was reading another thread that said this was an indicator of stress/not being happy in the viv. Is this something I should be concerned about? My setup...

    What type of cactus?

    I've seen cactus and cactus fruit listed as good staple veggie/fruit, but I was wondering specifically what kind? Spineless prickly pear? Any kind of spineless cactus? Is there any kind of (spineless) cactus that would be bad?

    Best time to move dragon?

    I have gotten a larger enclosure for my beardie Charmander and it's all ready for him now. He's relatively new (I've had him for a month) and I'm hoping to avoid relocation stress, especially going off food. When would be the best time to move him? Morning? After eating? Before bed? Or does it...

    Dusting bsfl?

    Hello, I have read in a number of places that bsfl are high enough in calcium that you do not need to dust them with calcium. But I wanted to double check here. My beardie is still young and growing (I would guess about 4 months, maybe a little younger). What do you all think?

    Guessing age?

    Hello helpful people! My little bearded dragon's age is a mystery to me. I am curious if it is possible to tell from size/appearance how old he/she is. Mostly I'm just curious. Length: 8.5" Weight: 30g

    Calendula (pot marigold)

    I have seen a few commercial pre-prepared foods that list calendula (pot marigold) as an ingredient. They say that it helps with digestion. I grow calendula and would like to include some for my dragon if it would be beneficial, but strangely can't find it on lists of approved veggies/flowers...

    Just checking...new dragon

    Hello, My first experience with a beardies was heartbreaking. I did everything I thought I was supposed to do (advice from Internet and pet store employees--I know better now) in the last days of my first bearded dragon's life, I found this site. After mourning, and never-ending research, I...
