My Bearded Dragon Book

[beardielover17]

If you didn't read it in my introduction, I'm writing a bearded dragon care book. I have a "demo" version of it on my website free to download if anyone is interested. I appreciate feedback, suggestions and so on but please keep it civilized. I understand not everyone may agree with my way of raising dragons, but this is what I found to work best for both my dragons and myself.

Here's the table of contents for what I have so far on the "real" version:

Introduction

Housing

Feeding & Supplementation

Hydration

Temperatures, UVA/UVB

Behavior

awesome that you are doing this. we need more up to date books on the market for dragon care.

im trying to offer different ways of care and not just sticking to how i exclusively do it (although i do mention my specific ways too) and seeing how everyone loves pix im tryin to make sure i have a picture for just about everything i talk about...im a visual learner and also feel that with so much information people get overwhelmed with all that text and little visuals so i figured id put as many as i can

 

[crypticdragons]

im looking through it as we speak ;D

 

[beardielover17]

haha just remember theres spelling and grammatical errors and a lot of info i left out in that version...i must say the one im working on is much better

 

[crypticdragons]

deffinately has some good information in it. the only big thing i would want to say is to put a lil more time into explaining brumation and how it not only affects dragons that are of adult age but also of adult size. many people feed their dragons so well that the dragon is of adult size sometimes at the 6 month mark. My male dr. evil was almost 21 inches at 7 months and he went down at 8 and did a semi brumation for 4 months. just my .02 cents
but overall awesome read ;D

thanx brian, after goin over it again i actually did go alot more into detail with it because your exact thoughts came to mind....magellan was an early brumator too he went down at 8-9 months old....anythin else you can add?
