starting to worry

[crystal9534]

yep, definitely will keep receipts

 

[crystal9534]

so when i get the bulbs and if they work, should i remove the plastic cover so its direct light shining on them?

 

[grimm]

yup, ive never seen any casing where the cover the uvb part, or any reptile lighting that covers anything for that matter.

 

[li]

yes..take it off.

 

[staylor]

you can get the fixture from walmart, home depot, or anywhere for about $10. I found the ReptiSun tube itself on amazon for $20

 

[crystal9534]

i got everything, im just waiting on the delivery of the tubes. hopin they fit!

 

[corrine]

I bought the same light to use as a fixture and it will work.

LLL Reptile will ship in 5 to 8 days of your purchase. The prices aren't too bad.

 

[crystal9534]

great! we did order from LLL and will be expecting the package any time today! babies will be happy, and happy babies make happy moms

 

[crystal9534]

well, they were outside the whole time. they fit! now i just need some velcro to attach it to the back wall

 

[crystal9534]

oh, and they came with a sticker, a bag, and a t-shirt! not that the shirt would fit anyone in this family lol. but still, its the thought that counts :-p

I'm sorry I found your post so late. I have ordered from LLLreptile for about 2 years now and have never had an issue!!! They always deliver on time and have excellent customer service as far as I am concerned. Hope this helps some. Also Premiumcrickets.com is an great place to order feeders.They have been a blessing to me,even when Fed-ex goofed and didn't deliver when they should have and my worms arrived dead they were fantastic.

 

[crystal9534]

thanks sara. i was checking out premiumcrickets too. it's really up to what my mom thinks. she's gonna pay for the crickets since she has a job and money. i'm saving the 40 dollars i have now to hopefully buy another 55 gallon for my other baby. they're starting to get mad at each other. hope this guy replies soon!

 

[staylor]

If you going to buy another tank it would be much better to get a 40 gallon breeder. The 55 is not wide enough for an adult dragon.

Just a thought, if they are starting to fight, you can tape a piece of cardboard in the middle of your viv. This will keep them apart for the time being. this is only a temp solution, but I'd hate to see something happen to one of them. Make sure the cardboard is secure. A dominant dragon can rip it down if he/she wants.

really? everyone i've heard of has a 55 for the guys

 

[grimm]

its a 55 gallon breeder, not a 55 gallon long, its different from a fish tank, its cause its wider and not taller like a fishtank.

 

[crystal9534]

hmm do you happen to know the dimensions of a 55 breeder?

 

[crystal9534]

well, i have texted multiple times with my friend and was told to google pics of sexing beardies, and i have discovered that i more than likely have two boys. explains their behavior towards each other. so, m'lynn will now be irwin, named after steve irwin.

 

[grimm]

not sure on the size, but as far as sexing ur beardies they seem to young to be sure, but maybe thats just me.
