    It has been a while, sorry for the late update. The Beardy we got after the first one passed is doing wonderful. He has grown so much. I made a new enclosure for him. Now for the good part, here are his photos.

    Just an update, little lizzy is eating great, she has crunched some pretty big beetles. We picked up a dubai roach breading colony and I am getting lots of roaches. I am trying my hand at cricket breeding, it will take a couple of weeks to see how that turns out. We also got a chameleon at the...

    He ate very well this weekend and today. He went to the vet today and got a clean bill of health. They are sending a stool sample out for analysis. I also received my stool test kit so I will check the next stool myself with our microscope. He continues to remain active and hungry!

    Thank you. I cleaned out the tank, discarded the floor covering. He did have a guarantee, so this time I choose a much larger beardy. Right away he ate a few meal worms, so I brought him home. Into the feeding bin he went while I finished disinfecting the tank. He consumed several more crickets...

    My wife took him outside in a feeding container to get some fresh sun. He moved around for a bit then finally gave out and passed away. We checked our receipt to prepare to try and return him, and found that we were never even billed for him. We are going to go to the specialty store in boulder...

    My single ceramic heater was not enough to maintain temps. When set to 73F, I saw temps as low as 66F last night. I ordered a second ceramic heater to pickup today. The basking light is set to 36F at night so that it has no chance to come on and disturb his sleep. I do not know what I could do...

    The 5 minute edit timer.... I did switch the UVB bulb from the 14% to the 12% as suggested.

    I have the BSFL on the way. I may have to get some small crickets until I get some of the other foods in. They had no small dubai beetles in stock. The Ceramic heater can not bring tank temp above 81F even with the basking bulb on, so I think I need to get a second ceramic heater and put them...

    He ate a cricket and some of the flukers his first day, and that is all I have seen him eat. My wife saw him eat two crickets yesterday. I raised his basking spot to 110F and I am going to center the second temp probe in the tank and set the ceramic heater temp a bit higher also. The roaches...

    Are those the dark marks by the shoulders? The tail was getting dark today. I thought he was a juvenile and I am not learning he is a baby. It is 1.5 hours from lights out, do I leave him in the feed container a little longer or move him back to his enclosure. Should I leave some crickets...

    Order on the way. This little guy is really stressing me out, and he may be just as stressed himself. I think he ate some veggies, here is morning dish vs afternoon dish. It is hard to tell if he ate or it just shriveled, he might have eaten the carrot pieces. I put him in this container...

    Bsfl is Black Soldier Fly Larvae? I ordered a small bag of dried BSFL, and also a jar of beardie buffet, hopefully these will encourage him to eat his veggies. He did like the Flukers Dragon diet so I could use that as a lure also maybe?

    The controller is all set up now. I put his basking lamp on the dimming controller, the UVB light on a timer, and the ceramic heater on the on/off heat controller. At night the basking lamp temp is set lower then the ceramic heater temp in hopes that the basking lamp will stay off all night...

    The petshop attendant recommended we offer him only salad in the morning until he eats some, then offer the insects. We bought some pre made salad from the store. Dubai Roaches, yum yum. I set up my small 10 gallon as a breeder for now, added some wet towels, some of the pre made salad, and...

    New Owner trying to start off on the right foot.

    We found a really nice reptile store in Boulder CO today. They had silk worms and roaches. He recommended the roaches for the most nutritional content. We bought 1 pack of mediums for feeding, and two packs of large to get a colony started. We need to fi d some egg crate for the roach housing. I...
