    Good to be back

    Hi, Well it's been so many years, but wanted to come back and say hi. I recently purchased a new bearded dragon and looking forward to sharing my journey with him. To start here's a pic of the little guy..born Aug 29th. He is a zero leatherback from https://andrewsreptilesllc.com His name...

    Beardie losing weight

    They can usually get enough moisture from their food..If they are eating, but a lot of people like to bathe them in the tub of warm water routinely. I never heard about putting calcium in the water though?? It also has the benefit of gently assisting a bowel movement and that of itself may...

    Year old bearded dragon not eating

    Be careful feeding Kale as a staple. It is high in oxalates which can cause thyroid issues. Better staple of greens are Collard or Dandelion greens in long term. For your issue I am not 100% convinced he is not going into brumation since it's that time of year. I would not fuss with him...

    basking question

    Cool Omri! Not sure what fixture you have or what you are planning on getting, but I would really recommend the T5 fluorescent fixture and not the T8 for your application if can swing it. Reason being is the height of you tank. T8 will struggle to produce enough uvb at the distances you are...

    Where to buy a pre made enclosure?USA

    Thanks for all the replies. Those vivexotic are really nice! I like all the features, but a bit too modern for my tastes and smaller than what I currently have so I think I will pass. I think CCD is using boamaster enclosures. I've been looking at those, but I don't like that all the lights...

    Their website is still up...Too bad if indeed they are no more. Looked like a great concept.

    basking question

    I'm glad I helped. The plastic Terrarium is ok I think. Just avoid stuff that has an open screen top as all your heat will rise out the top. If you do have a screen top you can cover it up by getting a sheet of foam insulation at the hw store or a non flammable piece of hardy board and make...

    basking question

    It sounds like your room temps fluctuate a lot. My old house was like this and made it really challenging. I think you will have better chances of success with a wood enclosure because it will be better insulated. A glass tank will be very hard to work with. Imagine you are standing next to...

    Where to buy a pre made enclosure?USA

    Hi everyone, Looking for pre made enclosures. Some assembly required is OK. I can do DIY route, but not feeling up to it necessarily and don't mind spending the money on a nice display. I want something that is 4x2x2 that is all wood with glass front. I found a site called vivinabox.com and...

    Looking for thoughts and feedback :)

    I've used both types for uvb, but I think for bearded dragons I am leaning back towards the t5 striplight. Now for Iguannas or other large species I can really see the benefits of MVB although the newer T5 tubes are a close second. If anyone would like more info on MVB bulbs I learned a lot...

    Looking for thoughts and feedback :)

    Hi. I was reading this and have to comment that you cannot dim a mercury vapor bulb. They are not dimmable. Mercury vapor bulbs are quite advanced to set up and best used on large enclosure like 120 gallon + IMO where you are trying to project uvb great distances. When using them you really...

    Do I Have To Use The Vitamins?

    I dont think they are eating crickets and Dubias in the wild though either.

    Do I Have To Use The Vitamins?

    Yep. Just mix 50/50 before feed

    Do I Have To Use The Vitamins?

    It depends on the age of the animal. Everyone seems to have an opinion on exactly how much. I base my recommendations on the book "The bearded Dragon Manual" which is a great book if you haven't read it. There's a section written by Susan Donghae VMD. In summary she recommends --up to 2...
