I thought I'd post an update. Our baby is continuing to do great. She's developed a lot more muscles and is walking around nicely. She loves being outside and we continue to take her out for half an hour every day around lunch time. Coming back in always takes a few minutes because she...

I found this link helpful because it also tells you how long the cleaning solutions have to be in contact to be effective: http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Disinfectants.html

What you describe with moving between the lights is very similar to what I've observed too. I also observed that right around sunset, she will go off and find a cool, dark place to sleep. (That's usually when we put her back into her viv.) But I thought it was interesting that she seems to...

I think you're right there. I watched the lighting videos from the guys that make the Mega Ray MVB: http://www.reptileuv.com/reptile-video.php?nav=h After that I added another flood light so that there is a gradient where she can regulate her UVB and still be warm. She definitely moves around...

kingofnobbys, thank you for posting that. That's interesting. I'm in FL (north of Sarasota) and I'm taking my beardie out between 1 and 2 for half an hour. She only stays in the sun for a few minutes and then moves to the shade. The remainder of the time she stays in the shade and goes...

Great pictures! Cute that Richter stays by the door. I had to climb into the tent too once because my beardie had to sit as far from the opening as she could get. Of course. Who wants to go back inside the house anyway? When I put a blanket or a towel in, she seems to end up on the bare...

I use calcium plus and grub pie. I cut up green leaves and smear a little grub pie on them. It's pretty slippery stuff and doesn't stick to their tongue. Some beardies can just eat it but mine needs the leaf so she can grab it. She wouldn't eat any bugs or worms but she does eat this with...

Squash is a big hit (spaghetti, butternut, acorn) with my beardie. I use a potato peeler for the outside and then grate it raw with a cheese grater. I think they all have different favorites so it's going to be a matter of trying out various veggies...

I know what happened. Your signature line had a broken image link in it. That's why I thought you had posted a picture. But please post one after you get it. I'm curious what your beardie thinks. :)

That's awesome! The picture didn't post though. Could you please try again, I would love to see it. :D

Yes, definitely. We have a hawk here and sometimes an osprey. Plus crows and peacocks and various ducks...

Interesting! I didn't know they put a stain into their sand but that would make sense since it's such a dramatic color change. Reptilelady, was yours on calcisand too at some point?

I'll post it once she's done shedding. Her back is one big skin flap right now.

No worries, that calcisand was gone before she even set foot into our house (she was a rescue). But the skin that is white/yellow is not the old skin, it's the new skin. Her previous color was completely orange. And now the new skin is yellow and white. In the picture above, you can see the...

My beardie is shedding and changing color. Before she came to us, she was on calcisand (sp?), which was pink in color. We've been taking her outside almost every day (as long as it wasn't raining) and now that she's shedding she's this great white color and no longer orange. Feet and hands...

Yes, she likes it! The very next day after she hissed at the tent, I put it out and thought, we'll see what happens. I sat down with her in the sun and she immediately walked over to it and started climbing it all the way to the top: The next day I put her into the tent and then we had 3...
