[rinkydink]

:shock:

oh and there we have it

that's one so far.. most recent one about a week ago...

still deciding whether to go for another horitontal viv or a tall glass one... hmmm

anyway.. any help is much appreicated... Giz is literally like the mogwi!! or the gremlins to be fair... always runs away from me, get a lettuce leaf he's great.. give him anything where i get closer and boom.. he's off like a shot

Aw, he's so cute! He has a nice big beardie belly. Your viv looks nice too, lots of stuff for him to climb on. The only thing I would suggest is to consider getting rid of the particle substrate you have in there and putting in tile or non-adhesive shelf liner instead. Particle substrate can hold onto bacteria & mold, and also if he ingests it, it could cause an impaction.

Hi and welcome. Very healthy looking beardie you have!

 

[rinkydink]

wow thanks. god to see he's looking good. not always easy to tell what theyre supposed to look like when u've nothing to compare with as such.

the substate is actually a calci-sand, we dont have too many reptile shops around where i live and i had the choice of sand, calci-sand or wood chip.

the wood chip he wasnt comfortable with so i quickly removed it.. although i do change the substrate a bit to keep it varied and slight changes for him.



he's particularly fond of a purple reptile sand tho...

regular playsand is better than calcium sand

alot of times they will purposely eat the sand b/c it has calcium in it

you can get non adhesive shelf liner at walmart type stores and slate tile at hardware stores much easier to clean and still looks nice

but he is very pretty oops i mean handsome lol
