    I’m new to this help please

    Hi I think your over freaking. Rule of life Big eats little. Little lizard big person equals nervous little lizard. For that problem handle it more often let it hang with you on your shirt. Next the food thing. I suspect it is not warm enough. Buy A cheap 7 dollar infrared heat sensor and...

    Sufficient UVB in setup?

    If you live where they live wild 2 questions pop up. Why buy one. Next is watch the wild guys and observe their way of life. How lucky you can do that. In the US we often use infrared guns they are cheap at 5 to 7 dollars and you can measure the heat ranges that your set up is providing your new...

    Taking my beardie outside???

    Always remember the rule. The rule is big eats little. Birds eat lizards. Crows eat everything from pigeons and smaller. This makes your lizard food and if you place it in an outside area without human protection that can happen fast. If you place it outside without an over cover A bird of size...

    Humidity control

    Not to worry. I live in the low country of South Carolina and the humidity usually is 50 percent and up. It just means your beardie will never worry about dry skin. Mine like to swim a lot in fresh water not the ocean.

    New 2 month old - leg issue. VERY WORRIED!!

    I would lose the sand right off. It can cause deadly bowel compaction and that might cause it to drag. Hot water in the high 90' let it soak. This should cause it to relax it to the point of bowel movement. If so and it was impacted perhaps the leg movement will come back. If bad swelling is in...

    Two year old supposedly “not picky” eater is super picky! Concerned

    Make sure your vet knows lizards. Often doctors give you A diagnosis but really have no clue. I think it looks light in weight. The tail should be fuller at the size it is. Might be worms which is treatable. If you need A bowel movement place in the tub with water deep enough that it can touch...

    Humidity levels will not go down!!!

    What is the problem? I live low country South Carolina. Our humidity hangs at the 60 and 70 percent level and often in the 80 and 90 percent levels. Also A good way to get water in your beardy is by spraying the glass. In the wild it would be the morning due they would be drinking. You could use...

    Dead beardie? Please help!

    I am sorry for your lost friend. Always look at the eyes. Open and bright or say goodbye. Also A major possibility of death could be the sand. Compacts in the bowels and they die.

    100w not heating tank enough

    As with most tanks you need A warm end and A cool end. So as I do put the bulb on an end or middle and than build A basking point under the bulb. Stair step it so the lizard can kick back and relax at the temperature range it is seeking. ALWAYS provide A cool down area. So when you get your...

    Hangs out under hammock all day?!

    The tile is ceramic that you want. You can get it to be A host of shades and designs. It is nice to lift out and clean. Place the food on the same tiles and a lot of the other tiles will remain clean. Your lizard will be cleaner also which makes for more fun when you let out to run around with...

    Bath Question

    Soap is dangerous. Read the label would you drink it? Your lizard will. I have had beardeds for 20 plus years and they like to drop A load in their tub water which is good to help them stay regular. Throw them in the tub with lightly warm to the touch water. Making the drain deep enough it can...

    Reptile Sciences or Vita-Sand?

    I myself do not care for newspaper as most inks are recycled and rubs off on the skin. You can wash your hands but beardies are like boys.. of all ages if you get my drift. I as A rule place A tile or 2 to cover the bottom and than place nice pieces of branches for them to hang out on. Large...

    Questions post vet visit

    Hi I have had these fellows for 20 plus years with 2 young kids on camping trips and everywhere in between. So this is something I have learned put your heat above the high point of your cage as this lets them move to or away. Also A hide point from the radiating heat. This way they can cool off...
