Hi all, I am a new beardie owner and someone suggested this site to me. i would like to introduce my new beardie Mongo
I got him at the Philadelphia's reptile expo about a 2 months ago. I just have a few questions for everyone
#1 Mongo likes to randomly jump sometimes. Sometimes he jumps from pretty high up. He jumps from up to 6 feet in the air sometimes. What should I check for to make sure he is not getting injured? I try to keep him off high things but sometimes he will sit on my shoulder for 30 minutes and out of nowhere he will just leap off onto the ground.
#2 Mongo LOVES Super worms. How many super worms is it OK to feed him a day? I heard they are higher in fat and protein then things like crickets but he likes the super worms ALLOT more.
#3 Pheonix worms and silkworms. Where does everyone buy their silkworms and pheonix worms? I bought about 200 silk worms from a site and I put them all in a tupperwear thing and punched wholes in it but every single worm died.... Maybe the air wholes were not big enough? I don't know. What should I keep silkworms in?
#4 Last question. How long should my lights be on a day? I have them set for 13 hours right now.
Thank you for any and all help. THANKS!
