thanks guys :-D
i was going to add more rocks and wood,however that makes it too easy for the
crickets to hide,then come out of a night and bite the babies.
mabe i'll add in some places some more sand,because they love to dig.

thank you :)
the only problem i have is the crickets hiding underneath rocks.........
so i think i may have to look for a feeding container,because if i don't
i have to remove the decor at feeding time then put it all back. ??

hay kate :-D
they are doing very well.i gave them a bath today,which didn't last long as one of
them did a poopie doop :roll: but that is a sure fire way of getting them to "go"
apparently.
i called them bert and ernie,although i don't know their sexes as yet,although i have a funny
feeling i have a boy and girl.......several months until you can be reasonably sure,
if it turns out two males,then they will be seperated,i'm not going into breeding as yet,
so i;ll probably still end up with another viv.

hi
thanks. :-D
minimum size for a bearded dragon 4x2x2 viv.
uv light no lower than 10% reptisun or other brand.
spot bulb for basking,
hot end 115 dF
cool end 80 dF
dimmer stat,to be attached to the spot bulb
thermometers on at either end.
one dragon.don't make the mistake i have..............
good book
breeder rather than a chain store.
heat bulb only if your house temperature drops below 60dF at night.
and that would need a stat without question.
rocks,wood,
crickets,locus,silk worms,roaches.
vegetables.
that's all i can think of right now,give me a shout if i can help with anything else.
:-D

nice environment you've got for your 2 beardies, if they happen to be 2 males they might hurt each other when grown up, I hope you know that?
UV light also prevents them from deseases as rachitis. UV light also helps them digest their food by giving them uvb wich gives your beardies D vitamines.
they look nice, have a good time with them.

thanks for the input. :-D
they are in seperate inclosures,and have been for quite a while.
i didn't want to take any chances,and i think there was the begining of donimance.
they were in sight of eachother,and i thought it wasn't helping,so one viv
is now on top of the other.
happy dragons.

have you any reps ?:-D

good work you seperated them, they can seriously hurt eachother or have serious stress wich is a very bad thing.
used to have 2 yellow bellied turtles, and I've taken care someone else's dragon's for quite a while, so I had 2 do research about them, so now I have some experience ;)
if they are male they have 2 bumps next to each other at the beginning of their tail, females don't have that, they have more like 1 bump.
but it happens that a male and female just don't like each other.
greetings!

Those are some great looking beardies!! That viv looks great too, when I have a house I'm going to have to get a pair. I had a huge male in college that was the friendliest lizard I've ever met in a 6x3x3 foot homemade viv, used to get lots of looks taking him to petco on my shoulder!

Do you not like the crickets because of the chirping or just crickets in general? I always found that if I bought crickets online in bulk they never made noise. When they get bigger you'll have to get some hissing cockroach treats for them, my dragon absolutely loved them and they're super healthy!

hi
i don't like the crickets because no matter how hard i try to keep them
from escaping,they always get out,and the final strw was finding on in my bed !!
they chirp at night once the lights were off,and it never bothered me,the dragons
were never particularaly?(sp) interested in them unless i feed by tweezers,
locus are gratfully eaten with or without wings,and wax worm are a treat,all
of which are nice and quiet.

:rofl:

Did I ever tell you about the time I ordered a sack of crickets? I thought they'd be in a container inside the sack and ripped it open. I swear there must've been at least 500 of the little blighters on the kitchen floor, and to top it all off there was a spider in amongst it!!! :-(

For weeks afterwards I kept finding monster crickets in different parts of the house - it was horrible!

omg kate.............:sick: did you catch them all or are you still finding them ?
i think i would have to lay double sided tape all round the kitchen just incase.
i think the rotten little critters have only thankfully embarrassed me once.............
man came to fix potential fire hazard part on my fridge freezer,well due to the size of said
fridge freezer i don't pull it out often to clean behind it (dare i carry on with the embarrassment further ? )
well after being mortified by the amount of dust there behind it :oops: very nice young man says.
"don't worry about the dust we all have dirt..............however you have bugs !! "
i removed them with the hoover as quickly as i could,however he spent less than 10 mins replacing the part
even with me trying to explain that i kept lizards,i should have showed him the vivs.
i don't think he'll be back in a hurry.:-(
