Not yet! I'm new to forum and I will have to figure it out. I have a FB acct so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Ok here goes! Thanks for instructions Renee ;D

She ( I think) is eating well and pooping well. Having a tough time getting temp hot enough though. But I will confirm with digital thermometer tomorrow.

Aw. Cute little bugger! Looks like a nice setup too.

You can try increasing your basking watt or adding a Heat Emitter to up your temps.

Thanks Renee,
Any suggestions for telling the gender of my beardie :

 

[renich]

I'm not a good one to ask. I did the lift the tail thing when Bernie was younger and both of us thought Bernie was a he. Turns out Bernie was a Bernice!

But they say if you bend the tail up, you can see if there is one or two lumps. You can figure out which is which. ;D

lollllllllllllllll with all the spots! It's confusing ;-)
I bought her/him mustard greens yesterday and she is not eating them. The crickets are a hit though, gobble gobble from sun up to sun down.

 

[renich]

A lot of beardies need to warm up to the salad. Mustards are good for the green. Try mixing it with some veggies - sweet potato, butternut squash, zuccini/squash, peppers are favorites.

Awww what a cutie.

 

[srabeardie]

Thanks!
I bought a 150W bulb and that has helped...almost immediately. I thought she (?) was full from earlier, until I saw her scratching at the crickets through the glass of her viv definitely a muncher. I'm glad to hear that mustard greens are ok, I thought I had read that somewhere. I did have about three weeks of research and fact finding before I got her Oh yea, my hubby touched her cheek today he's so funny. He was at work lastnight trying looking online for ways to make the viv hotter.lol
