    Christmas Baby, Relo Stress

    Thanks so much for the advice . . . it made a lot of sense. I think he's doing better now. He doesn't run when we pick him up anymore. Hopefully it's only a matter of time before he's really comfortable when we take him out of his cage. I'm going to work on some pics today!

    Christmas Baby, Relo Stress

    Hi all . . . Santa brought my son Charlie a Beardie Baby for Christmas, and he is beyond thrilled!!!!! He named him Steve (really, are you SURE you want to name him Steve? Ok!) Pics coming soon, I promise . . . Anyways, Steve the dragon is 3 months old, and I am a little worried about how to...

    Safe adhesive to attach a light fixture?

    Mainly I'm concerned about the high heat causing the adhesive to put off fumes. I'll screw the light on if necessary, just wouldn't look as nice from the top. Here's a link to a Liquid Nails Epoxy that bonds plastic and metal, also says it withstands temps up to 300 degrees. If anyone has...

    Safe adhesive to attach a light fixture?

    Hi everyone . . . I got a second hand viv, 36x20x18, made of ABS plastic with front opening doors. It has a 18" UVB bulb mounted inside on the ceiling, but I decided to replace it with a 24" on the recommendation of my breeder. The old one was epoxied to the ceiling and I was able to rip it out...

    Peel & Stick Laminate "tiles" for flooring.

    Good idea as a backup . .. I'm going to try the tiles but I'm glad there are other options as well. Still can't get over the fact that I almost fumigated (is that a word?) the future dragon. :-(

    Peel & Stick Laminate "tiles" for flooring.

    Arrgg . . . scary!! I didn't even think about the adhesive giving off fumes when heated. I am SO glad I found this forum where I can ask questions. I'll buy the real tiles and I love the idea of papertowels laid underneath. I did get the plastic viv I had posted on another thread . . . I'm...

    Peel & Stick Laminate "tiles" for flooring.

    Hi all . . . got my viv yesterday and was at Home Depot looking at ceramic tiles for substrate when I came across peel & stick laminate tiles. They were somewhat rough on the surface, meant to look and feel like real textured ceramic tile. I can just cut them to size and stick them down. Easier...

    Need recommendations for the perfect starter setup

    Thanks everyone, I'm going to get it! Yea! It does have vent holes in the back that I could widen with a drill if necessary.

    Need recommendations for the perfect starter setup

    I have the opportunity to purchase this cage with sliding front doors for $150. The size is 36Lx20Wx17H. It has a built in 18" fluourescent inside, and also an incandescent for heat. It's made of ABS plastic. I hope the link below works for you to view a picture . . . if you don't mind, let me...

    Need recommendations for the perfect starter setup

    I appreciate all the advice! If I can't find a hinged screen for sale (I think I saw some at the pet store) I'll think about making one. What length of light fixture would you all recommend for a 40 gal tank? 30 or 36? I've already got the ReptiSun bulb on my list to buy. Also Tiles for...

    Need recommendations for the perfect starter setup

    So let's say I wanted to save money and buy a 40 gal breeder glass tank. Is there any way to avoid moving all the light fixtures off the top of the screen to access the beardie? Would you buy a hinged screen where just part of it opens?

    Need recommendations for the perfect starter setup

    The new extra-large exo-terra is long with more floor space than height. (36x18x18). But, I agree, it is a lot of money. If you have pics or a link that shows how to mount lights inside a breeder tank, that would be very helpful. We live in the Austin, TX area if anyone wants to recommend a...

    Need recommendations for the perfect starter setup

    Thanks so much for the quick replies! Here's the link for the Exo Terra tank . . . it's nice, but expensive ($250): www.exo-terra.com/en/products/glass_terrarium.php I guess I was thinking that it would be easier for my son to access his dragon from the front, as opposed to a traditional tank...

    Need recommendations for the perfect starter setup

    Hi everyone! My 8-year-old son wants a juvenile bearded dragon in the worst way. He has been saving his money for months now and is asking for a vivarium/supplies for Christmas. I am taking my time doing research, reading lots, and am now at the point where I'm close to buying supplies. I really...
