I'm here for some good info!

[LizMartell]

I am looking for any and all information on Bearded Dragons. I have yet to get my first Beardie as I figure it would be a good idea to know what I need to know BEFORE I get one! I had 2 Water Dragons about 6 years ago and I didn't do my research first. Needless to say things didn't go well.
IT WILL BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME!!
Thanks for any info
LIZ

Hi Liz and welcome to the BDF! I'm glad to hear you're getting the research out of the way now! Better before then after you realize you can't take care of it properly lol! There's some awesome links that can get you started. Read through them, they have great info in them.

Welcome.....this is a very good forum with a wealth of information. Meet 'Spike!' Even as small as these little buggers are they are a lot of work....especially buying crickets all the time!! But I have enjoyed him and so far so good....thanks to this forum!

I have been searching in the forum for information on "wild" rocks. (I didn't know what else to call them) My husband picked up 5 nice pieces of sandstone when he was in Arizona last week. I know I read somewhere you were to "sanitize" them in an oven. Any information on it would help as I don't want any mites.
Thanks!

Thanks Aleena...I will check them out

Just boil them for 10 minutes or so as long as they're not too huge for a pot.

 

[LizMartell]

no, they aren't...I have some big pots! Thanks!

Freezing them overnight works too. I generally do both, bake & freeze .

You're welcome. That's what I do with my rocks. Course, it's really hard to fit a tree branch into a pot. Believe me, I've tried.

That's a great idea!

I've been to several other (lizard) forums in the past few months, I must say this in the most informative one so far!
