LOL, so we have folks with beardies who are named Icarus and Daedalus. Look out if your little guy sprouts wings and starts trying to fly into the sun!

He's adorable!!! You'll have to let us know how he does.

Awww... they're so cute!

Wow. I think it's great that you're planning on taking care of a beardie for your class. To make your life a little easier, maybe you could get a sterilite container to feed him in and have one of your students be responsible to get in a little early each day and feed him before school and...

Welcome to the forum. I've only been here a couple weeks and I'm a new owner myself and I have to say -- this is the best place by far to get answers about these wonderful little guys!

Welcome to the forum. I know beardies are usually pretty smart about regulating their temperatures and it might be that she was just sleeping. It should be okay to leave that plant in there though -- most people set up a den for their beardies to cool off in just in case they get too hot.

Awww... what a cutie. Welcome to the forums. :)

Welcome to the forum! I've only had my baby for a week and I've already learned that he'll take my whole life over if I let him.

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your fantasy/sci-fi series! As for your beardies, I'm sure you'll be a great parent. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you have. Everyone here has been great to me since I got my beardie and it seems like I'm living on the forum and reading...

How many months before you can get a larger enclosure for him? When I bought my beardie, I was planning on getting a 40 or 55 gallon aquarium for him w/i four months. You might want to think about how quickly he'll grow and check around to see if you can get a long 15 gallon aquarium so he'll...

Okay, here's a pic of my baby (whom my bf dubbed "Izzard") and a picture of his enclosure. I was very scared when I got home and saw that he wasn't moving and was just sitting in the hottest spot of the tank with his eyes closed. Fortunately, he roused a little when we put some crickets in...

Okay, I have another question -- does the basking light have to provide light or can I use a ceramic heater instead and get a UVA/UVB light to light the terrarium overall?

Thank you for your advice, Bianca and Ozzysmom. As I mentioned earlier, I'll stop by the petshop and pick up some crickets on my way home and I'll be sure to ask for the pinhead size. The other worms you mention -- are those usually hard to find in pet stores? I really don't think my...

I feel awful. I did some cursory research on beardies and didn't see anything about sand or calci-sand being bad for them -- everything I read prior to going to the pet shop recommended sand so the beardie could dig. Later on today I'll stop by the petshop and get some reptile carpet and more...

I can probably raise his basking spot up by adding more sand to the cage. I'm measuring the temps with a stick on the side thermometer. I'm using a 75 watt bulb that was recommended to me by the reptile specialist at the pet store. I'm starting to think I should've gotten a 100 watt bulb...

I just got my first beardie earlier this evening, and am housing him in a temporary 20 gallon enclosure with fine sand as substrate. I'm a little concerned because I've had the tank set up with the under tank heater and the basking lamp for an hour now, and the cage temperature is only up to...
