I tried the phoenix worms on my geckos and bearded dragon and all three lizards turned their nose up at them. Waste of money so went back to meal worms for the geckos and crickets, and crickets for Jethro. I guess it's like everyone else says, some will like them some won't. My girls are just...

Oh no! I am so sorry for your loss! Losing anyone, being human or pet is a hard time! I agree with Embrace Calamity though, I'd wait until you know why your bearded dragon died. I'm not an expert or anything but I know that's a young age. What was your set up like and when was the last time you...

I don't normally feed mine meal worms. I heard that was a very bad idea. Did yours start off with crickets and veggies? May want to change up the food routine a bit and see what the beardie likes. I offer turnip greens, mustard greens, and crickets on a daily basis. Also has the beardie been...

Awe they're both looking great! :D

LOL that's so Jethro! He gets so psyched when I bring the cricket box over, he's like, "OMG FOOD!!!!!!!!" and runs alongside the tank 'till I lift the lid open for him to go "Om nom nom!" he likes to hunt sometimes, but not always. Once he's had enough, he goes back up to the branch all happy...

If she got him from a breeder, did he not have a caresheet for her? And sometimes they like to hide under their toys. 10-20 gallon is okay for babies for a little while, but they grow SUPER FAST. I just got Jethro a 40 gallon tank, and I got him back in August, the 1st. How often has she tried...

Some reptiles are picky about how long it takes them to eat. I was concerned too when I first brought Jethro home, but he soon proved to be a pretty piggy eater. He's grown so much, I was shocked. I now have him in a 40 gallon tank. That'll have to last awhile, at least 'till I can afford the 55...

Make sure it's not lettuce, or romaine lettuce. Needs to be something like turnip greens, collard greens, butternut squash, etc. Definitely needs the UVB and UVA lighting, and what size tank is it in? Needs to get rid of sand. Sand could cause impaction, 'cause beardies LOVE to lick just about...

Awee they're all so adorable!!! I love my little Jethro, he is shedding now actually. How long does it take for new borns to shed for their first time?

Lol that is funny! I am considering getting a bearded dragon sometime next week! :)

Just curious but is bird seed safe? I would think that would have some toxins in it that wouldn't be good for the critters?

She looks beautiful, glad you were able to get her! :)

I wish I could but I know my parents would freak if I brought another gecko home. Mom loves the one we got but dad is pretty strict about no more inside pets. I even have a spare tank now. *sigh* I'm sorry I hope they find a good home! Maybe down the line in my own place I will get another one...

Man this is the info I've been looking for, I have looked at some of the thermostats but just not sure which is the best and not as expensive. The ESU looks to be a good choice, if it gets set to the right temp then is it like a regular thermostat for a home that after a cycle it either goes up...

I'm not really sure myself on this subject. I heard it's supposed to be one way during the day, another at night. My warm side stays between 85-90-ish (meaning sometimes it gets to 95 but not always), and the cool side stays 80 during the day and drops to 75 at night. Unless it's raining or the...
