    My local reptile guy has something against crickets

    Alright. Thanks for the help. I'll continue to let her decide how much she needs to eat. For the most part, it does seem like her appetite for the crickets has been decreasing a little in favor of the greens lately. Just a little update on the reptile store guy: yesterday, I heard him tell...

    My local reptile guy has something against crickets

    When I first got her, I read that once they mature, their diet should be switched from mostly animal protein to mostly greens. I forgot the ratios it suggested but I still have the book somewhere. Should I be feeding any differently now that she's 2 years old or should I still be feeding her as...

    My local reptile guy has something against crickets

    Alright. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being foolish to assume he was just trying to sell me on something more profitable. I've also been wondering lately how many crickets daily is typical feed for an adult dragon. Because if I let her decide when she's done eating, she'll eat 30 large...

    My local reptile guy has something against crickets

    The guy who owns the reptile shop closest to my house has on multiple occasions told me that I'm not feeding correctly and compared crickets to Doritos and basically compared me to an irresponsible parent. Then he tries to sell me goliath worms and super worms instead. I mostly ignore it because...

    Keeping Crickets Alive

    I'm starting to believe it may be a ventilation issue. Currently, the lid of their container is a screen, but the container is tall and I'm worried that isn't good enough. I'm considering cutting holes in the sides for more screen. I'm also going to sand the sides of the container to give them...

    Keeping Crickets Alive

    Where do I get the water crystals? I have the Fluker's Cricket Quencher, which I think is pretty much the same thing. But it doesn't seem like they're going after it. They are definitely warm enough. I'm not really sure what it is that is killing them off so quickly.

    Keeping Crickets Alive

    I'm going to try throwing more food in there. I can throw in whatever greens my beardie doesn't eat everyday from her bowl. But I've had these crickets only a week ad it look like most have died. Very frustrating.

    Keeping Crickets Alive

    So I've just started ordering my crickets in the mail. I got 500 and placed them in a 30(i think) gallon plastic tub. I put two food bowls in there with them. I filled them with Fluker's products. One contains a gut loading feed, the other has a mixture of their orange cube feed and their gel...

    Veggie Problems

    Early on, I had some problems getting my dragon to eat veggies but when I would wave them around like they were alive, she'd go for them. Maybe you could try setting some in a bowl in her viv. I don't know what your setup is like, but if you have sand, just make sure it is high enough that she...

    Designing a new Habitat to build at home, need advice

    Well I've seen some information recommending both warm and cold hides so the dragon doesn't need to choose between the desire to hide and its desired temperature. But if that's a bad Idea, I can just put another rock there instead. It's looking like it's going to be a couple hundred for the...

    Designing a new Habitat to build at home, need advice

    Here are some pictures of the kind of thing I would like to build. (Ignore the three units in the back, left over from when I was testing different looks) In reality, I'd probably make it look a bit more rounded on the edges like natural rock. This was the easiest way to represent it with the...

    Designing a new Habitat to build at home, need advice

    About how deep should the sand be? I started drawing up some ideas and then I realized I wasn't factoring in how much space the actual sand would be taking up in the viv. Her current habitat in just a glass tank that I open from the screen on the top so I haven't really thought about how deep it...

    Designing a new Habitat to build at home, need advice

    Alright, I'll keep considering it then. See if I can come up with a plan for what I would do if I went through with it. And I'll make sure to read as much as I can on how to make it as safely as possible. I'll try to work around using foam if I can. Thanks :)

    Designing a new Habitat to build at home, need advice

    A lot of the info I've read just says you have to leave it out and allow it to cure completely before using it. Some people say a few days, one person said two weeks.

    Designing a new Habitat to build at home, need advice

    So I haven't had the chance to actually get started yet. Of course, this means I've been losing my mind obsessing about the design and how to perfect it. And I started thinking about another possible addition. I was thinking about the possibility of creating fake rock structures. I've seen a...
