First off, I would like to say hello to all and make a little introduction! This is my first post on here but I have been using this site since I became a beardie mom to my lovely Reginald Geraldine Oct 30, 2018. When I got Reg she was about 7 inches long from Petsmart and they couldn't tell me how old she was. She was very malnourished, but I just had to get her! I went into the store not knowing exactly what reptile I was going to get but I had all the stuff from my late long-tailed Lizard Rex (rip homie). When I saw Reggie she was enclosed with two other beardies and was so stressed ): she ran right up to the glass and followed me when I walked up to her and I couldn't leave without her. I had no idea bearded dragons had so many needs but it has been such a fun and rewarding journey having her and we are now living our best lives! The reason I'm making a post is because Reg has grown like crazy since I got her and she's getting crowded in her tank. I have acquired a larger tank (13"L 48"W 21"H) and was researching some set up options before I move her over. I have been using repticarpet up to this point, but am looking into other options. I also recently discovered bioactive environments and would greatly appreciate any and all information on them! If you could share your experiences, what works best for you, and include any photos of your lil guys' homes it would be very much appreciated and maybe some pros/cons to going bioactive and any recommendations on substrates/tiling as well. Thank you in advance!
