Hello all, we have had our Breadie, Thor, for 3 weeks now and the famliy loves him to death. The kids say good-bye to him in the mornings and goodnight everynight. Son helps with the live feedings, the girls won't touch them. :lol: Anyways, he is about 6-7 months old, we haven't weighed him yet but will soon. He is 15" long, he's grown about an inch since we got him.
We were having some issues with his lighting, we had a 150w and the temps were at 130. We cut down his homemade basking area and then switched out the 150w for a 100w and temps are at 110-112. We also had some issues with him "throwing up" but we think that it had to do with the lighting. He hasn't thrown up in 4 days so fingers crossed that he has stopped.
Our kids think it is weird that when Thor is basking he is a dark colour, black/grayish. But when we let him out for some excersize that he goes red/orangish. Not sure why that is. Here are some pictures of his redecorated viv and Thor himself.
75g long turtle tank converted to Thor's home.
Here is his cool side. It even has a hiding tunnel for him. The crickets love it more than him.
And here is Thor himself on his new homemade basking area. The ramp side is for when he is to lazy to climb the stairs. He is constently on it. He even sleeps on it. I will try to get a picture of him sleeping on it soon.
This site has helped us with a few things about our beardie and we have learned good things too. I check out this site atleast once a day. Keep up the great work everyone.
