    Which Is Better: T8 Mounted Inside, or T5 Mounted Outside?

    The title pretty much says it all. I have read that the T5 or T8 UVB fixtures are best, but that the T5 should be mounted outside of the viv, whereas the T8 should be mounted inside. However, I haven't been able to find any discussion or comparison of which is better. Is there a consensus on...

    Preserving Phoenix Worms/Silkworms?

    Is there a good way to preserve excess Phoenix Worms and/or Silkworms, without robbing them of their nutrients? I have heard that when crickets or grasshoppers are frozen, they become much less nutritious to feed -- is the same true for for other feeders? And if so, is there a good alternative...

    Indiana (or adjacent) Breeders?

    Is anyone familiar with -- or better yet, have experience with -- any breeders in Indiana? If not, what about Illinois, southern Michigan, Ohio, or northern Kentucky? We are willing to make a bit of a drive if we need to, within reason. I found Black Beard Dragons by Doctor DragonS in southern...

    Hoping to get a beardie soon!

    Thanks, CooperDragon! We are planning on getting equipment piece-meal over the next couple of months so that it's several hundred dollars spread over a few paychecks, rather than all at once. That'll also give us plenty of time to do our research, network with breeders, maybe attend a few expos...

    Breeding Phoenix Worms?

    EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaand I just saw this exact same thread was posted a few hours ago. And because I am a dork, I missed it and made this post. Sorry for the re-posting of topics, folks! I read the article and discussion post about keeping and feeding Phoenix Worms to make them bigger and healthier...

    Hoping to get a beardie soon!

    Hello! I am new to this forum and thought I'd introduce myself. I have been fascinated with beardies for years, but circumstances have never allowed for me to have one of my own. That has changed in the past few years, and so my husband and I are looking to get a beardie in the coming months...
