I'm not sure where I can get my hands on some slate or good tile, I would like to do all my leo's and my beardies cage with some nice tile but I don't have a tile cutter(I can buy one of the cheapy hand ones, but not an electric). I like the look of slate but how would you cut it? I don't know...

I've been dusting with d3 for 5x a week with 2x of vitamins for a while now, but I would think I need less. My beardie is 1-1 1/2 years old and has a strip fluorescent light. Should I be using d3 3x a week? Or is that too much d3?

I would like to point out that I would recommend using some thicker, heavier duty fabric than I use, and coating the edges of the arm holes/ holes for the rope with some kind of glue etc to stop any tearing, or even possibly singing them. Step 1: Get a string with one of these tightening beads...

When I first got my beardie in august, he had been kept on blue calci sand. This is what he looked like(extreme blue tinge, could not see natural colors): This is him now, after finally shedding all of the blue skin. Please do not put your beardies on dyed sands...

I have noticed recently that Illidan has a little bit of black on the area where his jaw opens, on both sides. I don't think it is mouth rot and it doesn't seem to bother him, but I would like to know what it is. I can't seem to find any info regarding it in my reptile parasites book, the...

For the past week or so illidan has been pretty pissed when I enter the tank. He was not like this before and it just changed over night. He is not blackbearding however. When I put my hand in he immediately opens his mouth and starts to follow my hand. Sometimes he won't do anything and will...

Got a "new" microscope today, first of my own mainly to be able to do fecal's on my herps but also to learn some things pertaining to biology as I plan to study veterinary medicine in a few years. Only thing I could find around was a mealworm exoskeleton from a pupa and I don't have any slides...

Aside from shipping times and prices being horrid, they often screw up shipping as well. I wouldn't mind but it was for something relatively important, my beardies 24" reptisun which can't be bought here in stores. I got a refund but they won't send a replacement for a month as it is on back...

Figured I would make a thread to help me track his weight. When I got Illidan on the 24th of august he weighed 185g and 17" at 1 year old(Hard to say his real age, seller said 8 months at one point then 1-1/2 years) I just got his supers finally on friday so he now has a steady diet of 5 of them...

Just figured I would make a thread for Illidan, don't have to many pictures at the moment but here is a couple :)

I just replaced my 75w infrared with a 100w intense basking spot light so the tank is more reflective. Now every so often he headbobs at the tank and puffs his beard. Should I be worried about this?

My beardie usually has a blue tinge so you can't see his colors well(Last owner had him on blue sand, hoping a shed will fix it), but when he is wet you can see his colors so I am curious to see what morph or color he would be considered. Without being wet he looks like this(Yes he is...

I introduced my beardie to my girlfriend the other day and she complained that his claws hurt(even though I just trimmed them, claws are still claws). So then I had the thought of little socks for beardies, I think they would be cute. But I'm doubting my beardie we be so appreciative of socks...

By beardie has food stuck in his mouth, he keeps trying to swallow it but can't. He is not choking but he keeps gaping his mouth and trying again. He already bit me when I tried to get it out of his mouth(that was a note to self,don't put finger in there). Should I just let him sort it out or what?

My beardie is currently underweight at 16" 189g. I expect him to put on weight once I get his superworms next week. I want to get him reptaid as I suspect he may have slight amount of coccidia which has increased a bit due to moving stress(slightly watery poop). The vets around here are not very...

I sketched up a diagram of what I think would be a pretty good tank design, but I'm not sure how to accomplish it. Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to use poly styrene and where to get it? What do you guys think of this? Current tank(Very lackluster right now), it is a 75 gallon tank...

My beardie has a strange obsession with wanting to lick green lights. The power light on my TV, on my satellite box, etc. Anyone know why he does this?

I want to get my beardie a leash as he likes to try and be adventurous sometimes outside, I don't want to end up having to try and find him or have him getting into something he isn't supposed to be into. The reptile comfort leashes by trex are pretty well priced but I am not sure on the size. I...

Sorry to make so many threads pertaining to this but I need to get my beardie on proper uvb asap. My local pet stores do not carry reprising only reptiglo. I've read that reptiglo used to be bad but some people have mentioned they have improved. The 10.0 bulbs say desert reptiles on them and...

I've got a 4ft tank and I would like to have a 24" but can't seem to find a fixture for one around here, I'm wondering if a 18" would suffice or if I should try my best to get the 24" Thanks.
