Hello. My name is Jessica and I am new to the forum but not so new to bearded dragons. I have three normals and one silkback baby that I just got in the mail 05/04/2013. I am so in love with her! I plan on posting pictures of everyone as soon as I figure out how to do so lol. I absolutely love every single one of my girls and they always get the best care that I can absolutely provide. I try and plan/save all year long for the yearly reptile expo in my area. I do everything I can to make going to the show a priority because the deals that you get on supplies are absolutely insane in the all the best ways! I always make it a point to be over stocked on everything for my girls. You never know when that oh dang moment may happen lol. I take every single one of my girls to an excellent reptile vet once a year for a general well checkup. Everyone gets veggies everyday and fruit a few times a week. I raise my own dubia roaches and Turkish roaches. Though I am working on feeding off my Turkish colony as I am a much bigger fan of the dubia :) my three adults are in a very nice exo terra habitat and my baby is in what I like to call a temporary baby enclosure :) I put it together just for her lol. Any how.. I suppose that's about it for now.. :)

Welcome to the BDF Community!!
Looking forward to seeing the pics of your dragons! We do love pics and video here on the BDF:)
In reading your post I do have an important question. Your 3 adults are not housed together in a single Exoterra enclosure are they?
Besides the danger of co-habitating them in a single enclosure the minimum size enclosure for a single adult bearded dragon is a 40 gallon Breeder tank or the equivalent.
The exoterra tanks are nice however they do not make one with enough square footage to meet the minimum requirement of 3 adult dragons even if it was a safe and viable option to co-habitate them.
These are known non-communal, territorial and dominance based creatures that in nature do not co-habitate but live solitary lives by choice except when they come together for a brief time during breeding season and once mating has occurred return to their solitary lifestyle.
Forcing them into a communal situation is a certain recipe for disaster as well at a minimum a constant source of stress in having to compete for dominance of the enclosure.
It matters not that they are all females and that there may have not been any incidents or harm that has occurred yet but that would be purely a matter of luck.
If I have misread and in fact your dragons are being housed separately as they should be then I am thankful but if you are housing them together in the one enclosure as implied in your post then please take heed of the warning and please get them separated into appropriately sized enclosures as soon as possible for their safety and well-being as well as for your peace of mind.
Need more proof that cohabitation of bearded dragons is not an option?? Please follow the link here and see for yourself...

Welcome! I am currently in the process of getting a dubia colony going myself. It is taking me longer because I started with nymphs :confused: Be sure to post pictures of your dragons!
