    Making "Top Soil" ?

    I can't edit the previous post anymore, it seems, but also, can I use Zoomed's Reptisoil for bio-active instead of top soil? I know Reptisoil is costly but it does look nice and I'd rather buy some of that right now than wait a few months for stores to maybe start carrying Scott's top soil or...

    Making "Top Soil" ?

    I want to do bio-active, but there seem to be no places selling the right soil. I've gone to stores in my city and the only top-soil they have contains composted manure which I assume is bad? I know that there are 'good' brands of top soil out there but every place seems to not have them in...

    Sealing Foam Background

    This is another question I had regarding this. Can sealant be applied to smoothen sand? Say I glued a bunch of sand on something, it would suddenly be very abrasive. Can enough sealant remove the abrasiveness by being a good smooth layer over all the sand? Would it waste a ton of sealant?

    Sealing Foam Background

    I knew there was that word I was forgetting, "polycrylic." I think I'm going to go with that stuff. How do you clean it if it were to, say, get poop on it? Brush? Sponge? Strong hose?

    Sealing Foam Background

    Hi, what would be a good product to seal foam? So that it can't be destroyed by dragon claws or insect teeth? I am thinking of buying one of those exo terra foam backgrounds and I want to cover it with a layer of something that will be solid, durable as well as clear. Waterproof is a plus...

    New to Beardies, glad for this forum

    I'll go with two. In addition to substrate discouragement, I guess the healthiest setup simply isn't a natural one. But that's ok, because that doesn't mean it can't look wonderful. My chameleon also has no substrate and I like its cage just fine. I actually tried doing a bio-active substrate...

    I am being told, actually, that a mercury vapor bulb is not adequate for a bearded dragon. That its output and range just isn't enough and that they're just too hot without a huge enclosure. I see some people here do use mercury vapor bulbs though, so I'm confused.

    Thanks @ BeardedHippy I'm just gonna go with a Mercury Vapor bulb since it does both the UV and heat. No need for multiple lights this way. The tank will already always be bright during the day since I have him and my chameleon by a window (that stays shut).

    Thank you I use CHE's for basking in daytime as I don't like having different light colors or shapes going on. Guess I'll just get creative with how I raise the emitter farther from the tank. It did read temps hot enough but I need more testing to know there are gradients in there.

    Hi, I bought a young beardie today at a reptile show, kind of on impulse (though I've always wanted one). I should have bought all the supplies and researched it first, but here I am. It is currently using spare supplies from when my veiled chameleon was young (chameleon's now 3 years old and...
