he is a rescue who was being offered for free by a foster carer. she's been having trouble finding a home for him, likely because he's already an adult (2 years old) and because he has slight bone problems from his previous owners neglecting him - he was malnourished. he's doing pretty well now though! he's mostly recovered. plus it's just kinda hard to find people willing to adopt a lizard, i suppose.

i'm not sure what i'm going to name him, i was considering Ridley tho lmao

Quote from: C.Mongler on August 07, 2018, 03:38:31 PMWhats he eat

adult beardies eat roughly 80% vegetation and 20% insects. typically stuff like collards/mustard/turnip greens for the vegetation, but there's plenty of other stuff you can use too. for insects, most people use crickets, and they're certainly the most affordable option. but i may add in superworms too.

Quote from: LCK on August 08, 2018, 09:54:50 AMhey kaz what kind of enclosure are you going to use for the dragon

50 gallon tank. its a bit odd for a terrarium because it's curved, and i couldn't find a screen top that fits such a tank, so i had to settle with just having a rectangular one that doesn't really snap onto the tank, it'll just kinda sit on it lol. the lamp hood will keep it from moving, though. the current owner (more of a foster carer) is selling me this tank and its stand for $20. down the line i may switch to a more traditional, rectangular terrarium.

Classic/standard. He resembles the types of beardies that can be found in the wild in Australia.

My boy is on the small side. This is probably partially due to his previous owners being shitty pet owners and not feeding him well.

Title: Re: Thread where Kaz talks about his bearded dragon
Post by: Samus Aran on August 11, 2018, 10:46:25 PM
Jesus. That's impressive. But yeah they're solitary creatures. You can only put females together in the same tank. Though I don't know why you would do that unless you have a ridiculously massive (like 80-100 gallon) tank.

Males will undoubtedly fight, and of course if you've got a male and female together, the male is going to try to bang the female. Which will cause babies and/or a shortened life span for the female due to stress.

you know what's really cute?? if you're not sure your beardie is getting enough water, one way to make sure they drink is to give 'em a lil spray on the nose. they'll tilt their head down and lick the water off the tip of their nose. it's adorable.

I'll consider it but simply having two thermometers in the tank works for now

Quote from: Snowy on August 12, 2018, 07:12:54 PMdo beardies run off of floor temp or ambient air temp?

air temp. you can get below-tank heaters, but they're considered largely pointless for beardies. and things like heater rocks are very bad for them.

his basking lamp above his basking perch keeps that spot of the tank at around 95 degrees, which is pretty ideal. the cooler side of the tank usually sits around 83 degrees, which again is great. so we're doing well for temperature.
