That appears to be the one. Just like last time. Last night and later today will be cleaning times, I just cleaned out one of the containers, rinsed the insects. Hopefully they're not dead. Their numbers were surprisingly great in the one container I've cleaned but even if there aren't mites in...

So unfortunately, i can't take pictures of them since my camera can't "see" them. Hell, even with my magnifying glass i could barely see them(but I know they moved, and my fruit fly culture is only 2 weeks old but isn't producing nearly as many flies as it was before this). As for what kind, I'm...

So, it appears that I have mites. I have my insects in my room, several feet away(I know, ew.) Based on what I've read so far I should be vacuuming the floor like 3 times a week and rubbing surfaces close to it the insects with a rag with alcohol or a Clorox wipe. Is this correct? Also, I'm...

R.I.P. Spike. :( My condolences and I sincerely hope that, if you do choose to get another one, you won't suffer from the same heartbreak you face now.

Ok, thanks for the advice

So, this was the first time I've gotten a silkworm pod. All was going well until a few days ago after I had slacked on cleaning the waste for 2 days. Mold started to develop but I got the worms(that weren't eaten yet) out and put their food and some egg carton in a critter keeper. I'll try...

Ah, I'll point coopersdragon in your direction, I believe he'll know how to help.

Yeah, I agree with offering it but it's not a problem if he doesn't accept it. At his age, he needs all the protein he can get and veggies would really be a bonus. In regards to handling, I think one should weigh their options. There is always the chance of getting spooked or bored and running...

Cut back on the mealworms, they are a but hard to digest. It's not likely that a dragon from the pet store could have made sexual interactions with other dragons since the dragons are either sold at a baby or juvenile stage or die. While I think it is possible, most baby and juvenile dragons...

I thought the darker BSFL were richer in calcium? Hmmm, I learn something new everyday.

As you said, the standard is as many as she wants in a 10-15 minute time period 3 times a day. Most care guides say that but I think I remember reading on the 2nd edition of The Bearded Dragon Manual: Expert Advice for Keeping and Caring for a Healthy Bearded Dragon [Book] that giving as many in...

It's more the supposed kink in the digestive tract. Adult dragons can digest the hard shelling but they lack the apparent kink in the digestive tract that babies have. Three things : what are you using to draw temperatures and how is your uvb positioned? And second, update me if she eats...

One last thing, where did you come up with the user name ReptileLady? Did you just think "I like reptiles and I'm a lady, let's name myself ReptileLady"? Or what's was the thought process behind it?

Yeah, never mind then. It makes sense why you're doing what you're doing. He's not quite an adult and I'm sure the advice from many vets trumps anything most forum members such as myself.

Ah, exactly what I thought. Well, if the links above can be used, then there you have a few options to choose from. If you decide that you might want to return to crickets in time, here are some instructions. Storage and Setup First off, if you're using a cricket keeper, you're somewhat setup...

Yes, variety is certainly a nice addition to a beardy's diet. Usually dragons can pass supers but I'm sure there are some that can't so it's probably good to start out with monitoring for defecation. SInce your dragon did then all is fine and nothing to worry about. How old is your...

Why'd you quit crickets? There are a few options including discoid Roaches, Phoenix/reptiworms, and silkworms to name a few. I'll link them down below. Silkworms http://www.mulberryfarms.com/Live-Silkworms-NOW-AVAILABLE-c22/ http://www.mulberryfarms.com/Silkworm-Eggs-c23/ (If you're...

You can just give her what you have been, just once or twice a week rather than two times a day. Yes, beardies often prefer protein to salad but you can't give in to their wants. "Starving" her a little while will make her likely give in to salad.

Aw, she's sounds like a sweet little dog inside of a dragon.

Wow, that is quite the colony and a distance she walks. I would let my beardy free roam but one of my dogs is known for snatching up lizards from the backyard at my old house and my house is a bit hard to "beardy proof".
