My beardies doing Awaome and I'm am planning to maybe find him a lady friend so I can. Breed him soon Posted over a year ago

They should be at least 18 months old before you attempt breeding, and you really need to think about this ... You have little experience & need to do a lot mais research before such an undertaking for the first time. Say, she succeeds in becoming gravid, at an average of say 25 eggs , then say she happens to double clutch. You have 25 eggs, then approximately 1 mês later, you have another 25. Now say the survival rate is 80%. Now you have 40 little eating machines @ 30-50 crickets each per dia . Do the math, that works out to: Approximately, 11,200 crickets A WEEK, Approximately 48,000 crickets A mês @ say $14/1,000, well you figure it out. On topo, início of Vet fees, Greens, supplements, enclosures to house them all (You should only keep 5-6 hatchlings together or they will eat each other), lighting, UVB, $200 for an incubator, o espaço for feeders, room to keep all of them for at least 6 weeks before they can be rehomed, etc, etc. over a year ago

Then, you have to find homes for them, even if you could find a Pet store willing to take them, they would only take 6-8 of them & only pay $15-$20 each. Doesn't even cover the cost of feeding them for a week or 2. Use you head & think about this!!!!! over a year ago

por the way, 48,000 crickets @ $14/1000 works out to $672/month & that doesn't include shipping costs!!! over a year ago

And buy the way I was going to trade him to a dragon breeder at a reptile show so he could be in the hands of someone who could take care of him better and learn from my mistakes Posted over a year ago

I heard a guy say on you tube that if you give to much d3 calcium dust to a bearded dragon it can cause there bones to over grow the symptoms are bloating lethargy and loss of color which he has plus e Ever seince I started feeding him a lot a da dust he has been tender and not wanted to be held but the first week he barley had any calcium and was fine with handleing I think there's a connection and I wondered if a beardie master like you could help me Posted over a year ago

Until I know that your basic husbandry is up to par, it is hard to tell. But what you are describing would be a very rare occurance so is highly unlikely. over a year ago

If you want me to help you, you have to answer all my perguntas so I can rule out basic husbandry problems. over a year ago

Because 99% of the time, that is where a problem stems from. over a year ago

I have a 100 watt neodium basking light on his lagarto hammock and a log hide underneath da hammock there's a 25 watt reptile light on the other side of the cage with his coral rock and fake desert plant .inbetween is his comida dish I do have a screen topo, início . I spray him lightly with water 3 times a dia and give him baths every other mês or so Posted over a year ago
germ44 commented…
25W Reptile Light? Too vague ... Does it emit UVB? if so, what brand & strength is it? Is it a tube or a Coil compact? Is it above the screen? I suggest misting once or twice a dia at the most & a weekly warm soak at that age. over a year ago

Need to know what your temps are accurately at the cool side & directly at the Basking spot ... over a year ago

Alright well I have a 30 gallon tetrafuana sliding door tank I use reptile carpet I clean he's waste whenever he goes and clean his carpet every 3 weeks and I put everything back the way it was afterwards I feed him ten crickets. Once a week a few tiny worms every dia and sumtimes dragondeit meat lookIng stuff and leave a few dragon pellets in his bowl in case he gets hungry I use super heavy d3 dust on my crickets Posted over a year ago
germ44 commented…
He should be given as many crickets as he will eat in a 15 minuto timespan 3 times a day, up to a of 25-20 crix a dia if he wants that many. every dia over a year ago
germ44 commented…
Should be offered fresh greens cut into tiny baby bite size pieces daily. Dry pellets are not good for it as they will suck the moisture out of it's body to digest them & cause dyhydration. If you are going to use them, you should moisten them with water or frutas suco, suco de first. over a year ago

I think the reason my bearded dragon isn't as friendly is because I fed him to much d3 and his bones hurt how can I help him or should I just trade him in and start over with a new one Posted over a year ago
germ44 commented…
That sounds like strange reasoning, while it is possible to feed too much oral D3, it is rare. To just trade it because you have a problem & acquire another to start over is just wrong in my books. What happened to, 'My Wizard is just awsome.'? It is difficult to give any kind of advice, without any setup info. Pictures of the BD & setup are a big help, need to know what your Temps are taken with accurate thermometers, in the right spots, directly at the basking spot & cool side area furthest from the heat lamp. Also need to know, what type, brand of lighting being used both for UVB & heat & the distance from the basking spot. over a year ago
germ44 commented…
What is the size of the enclosure? What are you using for substrate? Need the respostas to all this, prior to giving any type of reasonably accurate advice. over a year ago

What symptoms is it displaying, that makes you believe that there is a problem? over a year ago
