Hello From Massachusetts

[NBLD]

Hello!

My name is Nancy, and my husband and I recently adopted our first beardie. We named her Arya and she's an adult female, supposedly 2 years old or so.

I adore her and she's got quite the curious nature.

She scared the heck out of us the other day, however, when she was in a deep, deep sleep for the night. I thought she had passed away and I was devastated. Turns out she can just really conk out.

We also have a leopard gecko (he was a rescue) named Corona. He's patternless.

We plan on planting up a 47 gallon tall aquarium, turning it into a vivarium and keeping a few cresties in there. We've fallen in love with reptiles, and as a plant person, the two hobbies seem to be a great fit.

Nice to meet everyone!

Please post Non BD pics & info in the 'Other Pets' section ...

Thank you.

 

[Beardie123]

welcome and the expo was great hope you get that crestie tank up to show BDF some lovely pics of it

 

[NBLD]

Thank you, Beardie123.

I am a bit nervous about converting an upright 47 gallon. I don't know how to make the front opening doors, so I feel like I'm destined to the ladder system.

Any tips?

Im not really a builder my self im actually only 14 but my neighbor would be the person building my enclosure but search youtube i learned how to be creative and make a lot of things through you tube hope this helped

Could you post a pic of the tank please, then explain what you want to do. I am unclear as to your plans .

Just an FYI in case you were not aware - Tall enclosures are not recommended for BDs, they are a terrestrial creature, somewhat Arboreal while younger. Floor space is of much more importance than height. Tall enclosures are hard to heat properly & hard to provide effective UVB coverage.

I think this became confusing. My beardie has a 40 gallon long.

My future cresties are the ones who I am working on the 47 tall for.

Why can't you post BD and non-bd (to share your fam) in the intro section? I could understand if it was in a bd exc
Usive section, but my feedback here would be that it is MOD heavy, and alienating, to come down on an intros st in that fashion.

Ahhhhh!!!! My goof, it all makes sense now

 

[NBLD]

Why in the intro section is it exclusive to BDs? I would think an intro would be all encompassing.

Ah. Just a note.

It read different to me as a long time forum user

It reads funny. It reads like I shouldn't have posted Corona in Introductions.

 

[Germ]

Yes, we would rather not have them posted anywhere but the 'Other Pets' section, that is why it is there, to give members the opportunity to do so. Yes, the Intro is also BD specific,
