How long has the dragon been on the special diet?

Relocation stresses lizards out. Sometimes they need to acclimate to their new home before they feel confident enough to eat. Can take just a few hours and sometimes even a couple days. I had to tweezer feed my little guy one at a time. Putting him into a tote with bugs just seemed to overwhelm him.

I do multi on Saturday and Wednesday to spread it out. Calcium on the other days. However, when im stocked up on nutrigrubs, I don’t use calcium because they’re loaded with it anyhow—even if one feeding is roaches.

I was told to never feed super worms to a dragon under a year old. Babies especially don’t have the stomach to handle them and can become impacted. Super worms in general are the reptile equivalent of donuts—occasional treats, not a staple. Bsfl/Phoenix worms or small roaches are the much...

Simple. Consumer ignorance and/or compliance. That combined with the reality that many lizards can be carriers with no visible symptoms and essentially live a normal life doesn’t help to motivate action on the parts of consumers, sellers, and breeders. Most breeders won’t make a move until it...

An unplanned pregnancy and everything that comes with it isn’t a problem?

Sometimes they turn dark to sunbathe. What is the distance of the t8 from the basking spot and is there a screen top?

You could buy something like this an not worry about it even when you’re home. https://www.amazon.com/Century-Plug-Mechanical-Timer-Grounded/dp/B00MVFF59S/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1539266081&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=electric+timer+outlet&psc=1 Otherwise, your reptile will be fine. Crazy things...

It’s okay to let her skip meals until she comes around. Nothing ends a hunger strike like hunger.

I don’t use a water dish but if I did I would put it on the cool side. The hot side would cause faster evaporation and more moister in the air. On the cool side it can serve as a water bowl and cool off station.

Atomic Lizard Ranch is in AZ. I don’t know anything about best breeder, but the owners have been breeding dragons for a very long time and have a good reputation. Assuming the drive is manageable, you could visit and maybe even work out testing you’d like done before completing any transaction...

Two bins is great. It makes cleaning them out easy. Culling the males will help reduce stress if they’re fighting over ladies, but that’s up to you. The boys can fight if there’s not enough girls to go around. Ripped wings or chewed up males are signing of fighting. For roaches, I don’t worry...

Yes. Try a thorough cleaning regularly. I clean my breeder bin every few weeks. Mold is your worst enemy and will kill off a colony with a quickness. Remove stuff before it can mold. Do you know what the humidity is or just guessing? Humidity at 50%-70 is good for the roaches. The cleaner...

Mine eat grated squash or sweet potatoes regularly. Gets all the water he needs that way. I’ve never left a water dish for him—ever—but his bathroom surprises show me he’s plenty hydrated.

I don’t know about best but I know what I prefer. Disinfectant is just that, as long as it kills the bad stuff without harming anything. What is best for the individual is a matter of preference. One could simply use diluted bleach, peroxide, or vinegar to achieve much of the same results while...

This says you can bathe them once a week. But it’s also basing that on the premise of the lizard taking water through the vent. Other experienced people on this site say they don’t take water up the poop shoot so here we are. https://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/brumation/?page=5

Unless you need to raise the temps there is no need for lighting on the cool side. It’s nice to have an area to escape the fake sun. Standard bulbs will do the same as a basking bulb minus the uvb. Warm and soft bulbs are generally the same—reddish tint. Cool white are the brighter bluish tint...
