    RIP Pancake

    https://youtu.be/e1U6LzwUWgQ I guess the universe felt it hadn't been slapping me around hard enough lately with recent crappy and life altering events so it decided to REALLY punish me for existing. Talk about a sucker punch ?

    First Enclosure Build Completed :)

    First build in over a decade, period, actually. I'm sure that played a role in this thing coming out looking like a middle school kid made it in shop class ?. I can't believe I cut the doors crooked, but oh well. I'll either replace them later with properly cut doors or sliding glass because I'm...

    Bearded Dragons Don't Recognize Standing Water As Drinkable?

    That seems to be the general consensus, yeah? Does anyone know why they supposedly don't recognize it? My girl, Pancake, *does* recognize standing water and trots over to slurp some down as soon as I put a little bowl in her enclosure. She's going on 2 years old in a few months and has been...

    Reminder to always take and double check measurements

    Because if you don't, this might happen ? I recently made this for Pancake and am letting it sit out for a couple weeks before putting it in her enclosure. Right now, it's on the floor next to her "house". Had her out running around awhile ago when she spotted her new hide and, naturally...

    Help! Screwed up & fed Pancake superworms a few months ago!

    Giving her superworms was a HUGE mistake on my part. At the time, she was still young enough to need bugs every day. The local pet shop was all out of crickets because some guy came in that morning and snatched them all up; they said they wouldn't have another shipment in for about 4 days. I ran...

    Check out my new enclosure!!!!

    It's a Zen Habitat that I found preowned for an amazing price! $150 total for the enclosure, the homemade stand, the main basking fixture & bulb, the Zoo Med t5 terrarium hood & Reptisun 10.0 bulb that's only a few months old, 2 feeding dishes, and 2 of the hides! I can't even believe my luck...

    Not sure where to put this....dig box for females?

    I have an ~8 month old female bearded dragon; I wanted a male but things don't always go as planned lol. She's my baby girl. I imagine she'll be going through beardie puberty in the nearish future? Females lay eggs whether they're fertilized or not, right? Any she happens to lay will definitely...

    Dubia Colony + Oranges?? + What to do with excess males?

    I've been hearing that if I want my dubia colony to explode, I should put orange slices in with their water crystals and roach chow. Is that right? If so, how long do I have to wait after removing the orange leftovers to feed my dragon from the colony? Bearded dragons can't have citrus, can...

    Is my dragon a morph or just a regular dragon?

    This is my girl, Pancake. Can anyone help me out?

    Thermostat, Light Timer Advice, & Humidity Gauge?

    Can anyone recommend good, reasonably priced, thermostats, light timers, & humidity gauges? There's no way to run a CHE through both a thermostat & a timer, is there? I'm supposed to run 16 hours on, 8 off, right? How do I even hook a thermostat up inside a tank? Do they have multiple probes or...

    Need UVB mounting help please :)

    I'm not sure if I should mount the hood on top of the mesh or on the bottom. Falcor is currently in a 40 gallon breeder & I can't figure out if the UVB is safer on top or mounted to the inside of the screen. Its a t5 Reptisun 10.0 in a Reptisun reflector hood. I also have a Reptisun 5.0 bulb if...

    RIP Lester

    My sweet rescue beardie, Lester, passed away March 9, 2019 :( He suffered from MBD and probably atadenovirus. We're not sure about the virus because he passed before his vet appointment to get the bloodwork done; we would've had it done much sooner but couldn't afford the $400-$500 we were...

    This damn dragon....need help with temps

    Edit: Guess I did the image wrong. Here's a link: http://imgur.com/gallery/jFrxDiJ We moved him into a 40 gallon breeder yesterday from a 55 gallon tank for the floor space. Lester is recovering from MDB & can't climb so the move was necessary. Now I can't get his temps up where they need to be...

    Question about t8 vs t5

    Lester is currently in a 55 gallon aquarium but I'm moving him to a 40 gallon breeder soon so he can have more floor space. He can't walk due to MBD--he's a rescue & he's slowly but surely inching toward good health--so he can't climb:( I currently have a 24"t8 Reptisun 10.0 in one of those...

    He won't eat on his own!!!

    Lester is probably about 10-12 months old and we started have trouble with him about 2 months ago. After a month of refusing to eat (I force fed a couple times a week) and acting increasingly lethargic we took him to the vet. She said it was brumation which he clearly had all the signs for, I...

    Substrate?

    I have reptile carpet in my beardie's 20 gal tank but I just got a 55 gal last night and am in the process of getting it set up for him. I want to make sure I do it right as he is my first reptile. I'm going with a non particle substrate since he'll eat pretty much anything (except his dubia...

    Beardie Vets in STL Area?

    Can anyone recommend a good (and hopefully not too expensive) Beardie vet in the St.Louis area? I actually live about 60-70 miles west of STL but none of the local vets deal with reptiles. The most exotic they get is making house calls for cattle lol. Lester seems to be in good health now but...

    Light Set-Up For 55 Gallon Tank?

    I just acquired a 55 gallon aquarium for Lester, who is probably about 6 months old. He's currently in a 20 gal under a reptisun 10 24in UVB light and a Zilla 100 watt reptile bulb, I forget which one exactly. Please don't get on me about him being in a 20 gal, I know it's not big enough (hence...
