    Portable enclosure?

    I’m looking forward to the changing seasons. With that I’m looking forward to taking my beardie for walks in the park. Or even something fancier than a clear plastic tote for vet visits. I’m thinking I will build a diy portable enclosure large enough to keep an adult dragon but light enough to...

    Bioactive. What is this bug?

    I’m glad I could be of at least some help! Not sure how the critter got in there. To my knowledge they lay their eggs on the underside of leafs. I suppose it is possible that a stray egg found its way into your substrate. I don’t know much about bioactive substrates but I’d say you should still...

    Heating question

    A probe is not really a good way to measure your surface temperatures. You really need a point and shoot IR thermometer. I got mine from Lowe’s back in my days of growing… ummm…. Plants… in my back room. A temporal thermometer like you can get in the pharmacy section at Walmart should work too.

    Looking for a good home for our bearded dragon near Olympia, Wa

    Have you listed this on Facebook marketplace? That’s an excellent deal for someone that doesn’t want the hassle of raising a young beardie! If I were closer I’d take you up on that, but I’m in Illinois. We just got our first dragon a week ago and he’s roughly 3 months old. I’ve already spent...

    Bioactive. What is this bug?

    They’re pretty small. Again, I’m speaking outside of my experience, but a bearded dragon might not even bother with it. Particularly if your beardie is already well fed.

    Bioactive. What is this bug?

    Still pretty dang blurry. But it sure looks like the profile of an aphid. I’m just learning about dragons, but I have pretty extensive experience with plants.. lol. Aphids are like plant mosquitoes. They suck the juice from plants and poop out a sweet liquid. Some species of ants will actually...

    Bioactive. What is this bug?

    On that I have no clue. Sorry. I’m also very new to bearded dragons. Only had mine for a week today. But if I had to guess I’d say you SHOULD be fine. I imagine it all depends on what the aphid ate before it gets eaten itself. Considering how tiny an aphid’s stomach is it’s probably of little...

    Bioactive. What is this bug?

    Where are you from? The picture is pretty blurry, but it looks like it may be an aphid.

    Cleaning poop off of branches

    I’ve been pondering on how I might make or buy a non porous alternative to branches. I read something online about soaking them in bleach, rinse, then dry. But I don’t care too much for that idea.. the wood would absorb the bleach and I’d never get it “rinsed”. My dragon is roughly 3 months old...
