I was just given a young beardie female with a 30 gallon tank. I only have leos so she is my first beardie and I want to make sure she's happy and healthy. I'm not sure how old she is but she is about 10-12 inches long. She came with only daytime and nighttime heating bulbs, both 75W. I don't...

I've got to write a paper for my animal nutrition class about a nutrient disorder. My initial thought was to do it on MBD but I was just wondering if anyone has other ideas of interesting disorders that afflict reptiles and/or birds. :)

Wow that is crazy! The funniest thing I've ever seen one of my geckos do is climb the screen top of her cage. Then walk from one end to the other upside down before getting back down.

Bump. Still got a lot of wheat bran. Selling $1 for gallon sized bag + shipping, I just want to get rid of this stuff.

When I did feed my leos crickets I got them from the bait shop too, about 100-150 for $4. I never had any problems. I just don't feed them now because one of my leos won't eat them anymore and they stink. I have read though that some bait store crickets can have pinworms and infect leos. But the...

Here's an updated, post-shed picture... (btw she is an adult and has had the same number of spots since I got her)

I'm totally useless when it comes to morphs, anybody know what she is? She's in shed but she's usually bright yellow.

If one has already pupated, I'm sure a lot more will soon. It takes about a week for my pupa to become beetles. Good luck :)

Yeah its the mealworm beetles and yes I've noticed they're VERY clumsy lol.

I've had about 20 beetles hatch since yesterday and I check on them periodically for new beetles and every time I go in there, a lot of them will be stuck on their backs in the wheat bran and seem like they can't roll over. So I roll them all back over and some more are stuck on their backs the...

Where can I buy one of those moth traps I've read about on here? I noticed a couple in my mealworm bins when cleaning today and I want to do something about it before it gets really bad.

I only have 2 leos but I've started to breed my own mealworms. So if you breed too many, you can always get another leo. :)

I'm kind of wondering this myself... How long do the beetles live? How many eggs does one beetle lay in its lifetime?

Yes the probe should be on the floor over the heat pad because that's where the leos lay to digest their food. You just want to make sure it's not too hot so they don't burn their little bellies. :)

I have no idea what he'd be worth either but when you set a price, let me know I'd love to have him! I'm in Alabama so you're not too far from me :)
