Hi! I have 2 beardies, Seze and Mushu. Seze was my first and is a red leatherback who is almost 5 months old. She was a reptile specialty store find. She is about 100g now and over 12 inches from snout to tail tip. She has steadily grown at least 1 inch per week since I've gotten her. Mushu is an exquisite patternless red hypo trans who is almost 3 months old. He was shipped from a breeder in California. He came to me quite small, but I couldn't pass him up. He is 6.75 inches and 10g. He has grown 1/4 inch per week since I've gotten him.
Here is their current setup. Each is in their own separate 40 gallon terrarium (about 3ftx2ft) lined with reptile carpet. They have access to small pools of water plus fresh veggies every morning (kale, spaghetti & butternut squashes, spring mix, apples are a rare treat), dusted with calcium. Seze loves her veggies but Mushu...not so much. They are both lightly sprayed with water 1x/day plus a 20 min soak 1x/day. I feed each of them repti-worms 3-5x/day. Seze eats 50+ large per day (she would probably eat 75+ if she had it her way!) and Mushu eats 4-15 small per day. Worms are dusted with a powder multivitamin a few times per week. Calcium isn't needed with the worms as I've found their calcium content is incredible compared to standard crickets.
First feeding is an hour or so after they've warmed up under the light. I have their 100w UVA/UVB/basking combo light on 14 hours per day. It's the new Powersun light. It's amazing! They are about 6-8 inches from the light when upright. Basking temps are between 95-110 degrees, depending on which spot on the logs they choose to bask. I use a laser temp gun on the logs. Cool side is about 80 degrees. Seze never goes to the cool side and would rather open her mouth to regulate her temp or just move to a cooler spot on the log! Mushu will go to both sides. Night temp is about 70 degrees. I handle them up to 5 minutes after each feeding then put them under the light to digest. Following the final feeding, they are under the light for at least 1-2 hours before finally turning it off for the night.
There is a background on 3 sides of the tanks to reduce stress. Mushu uses his hide but Seze never does. They are both very easy to handle. I believe Seze was the dominant one in her clutch (she displays all the right behaviors!) and Mushu was one of the submissive ones, though I'm hoping he'll build some confidence soon and eat a lot more. They both poop regularly. Seze will even poop in the same exact spot on a paper towel square every morning! Consistency is soft but solid. Mushu is all over the place and will poop every day or at the very least every other day. Consistency is solid and a bit harder.
I plan on breeding them both in the far future. Perhaps at the beginning of next year. I've done a lot of research but I'm sure there's much more to learn before then.
They are such funny and amazing little creatures with great personalities. I never would have thought that I would come to love these reptiles so much!
