Okay well, I have a few questions, but didn't want to do different threads for each of them. So here it goes:
1. Is it true that bearded dragons can't breathe on their backs? (laying on their backs)
2. When do beardies reach adult size?
3. Is it at 16" that you can start giving beardies SUPERworms, regardless of age?
4. The repti-sun is for UVB. A regular household bulb can be used for a basking light. Don't beardies need uvb AND uva?
5. I'm going to be making a viv out of this antique display case I'm getting from my aunt (already has the glass on tracks so it saves me the hassle of figuring out how to do that myself ;D). It's 16" deep. Is this okay? As well, it is about 4' in length.
6. In the summer, I go to my cabin almost every weekend. I will be taking my beardies with me. I have a dresser out there that I will be making into an outside enclosure. But I'm wondering, is it possible to give them TOO much sun? I think I read somewhere on the forum that 30 minutes of natural sunlight is equivalent to a whole day of an artificial uvb source. So is more than 30 minutes of sun not good?
If so or not, well, if it starts to rain or get a little cooler (I will be putting the enclosure indoors), as long as they got 30 minutes of sun, can I use just a regular light bulb?
Darn, I had more questions, but I can't remember them. This always happens to me LOL
