I just got a baby one yesterday and was wondering if anybody had one, any advice?

This thing is awesome, he's active, friendly, and has a healthy appetite. Well worth the $80 spent on him.

Actually, he's running around that cage right now, unlike that turd of an iguana who just sit's there.

I'll get pics of him up once my lady gets a new battery in her camera.

No but I've had my share of bearded clams

USED TO HAVE...Everything you wish you had, and then some...

You are somebody special Tim, you matter! - from the admins (but nobody likes you, because your username is just like that other guy's, and you whine a lot)

I used to have a bearded dragon, thinking about buying another one. Don't really have much advice besides clean out the tank a lot so he doesn't get sick, i bought a book on them that had a lot of information you might want to pick it up if you havn't already

I had one for years and ended up giving it to my mom's co-worker's son. He loves it, she's probably pushing 7-8 yrs old by now. I think i got her in 1999.

She was fairly low maintenance, but I kept up with everything (temp, humidity, UV light, etc) and she remained healthy. You can't get true UV light from those florescent bulbs, you should use a regular screw-in type bulb for UV.

I gave the book away with the dragon, but I got most my info from the net.

Keep the iguana & dragon in different cages, though. I had both in 1 cage, male iquana & female dragon. The iguana tried to mate with the dragon and tore off some skin. She healed just fine, though.

I fed her crickets & the biggest meal worms I could find. Pinkies are pretty good, too, but I never fed them to her.

Occasionally, if I found a beetle outside, I'd give it to her and she'd chew on it for a good minute or two.

She liked chopped carrots and apples. I also made sure I put greens in there also, like mustard greens, collard greens, and some regular lettuce & cellary. She didn't really drink water, so I would try to feed her things that had water in them, and I'd also mist her with a spray bottle every once in a while.

Ok then, so far I'm doing everything good!

One question... bedding, is sand ok?

What would be the best bet?

Since from what I was reading, it's a desert reptile, so I'd assume sand, and it also retains some heat to help get the temp up to around 100 degrees.

I have 3 lights, 2 for the iguana because of the massive cage I built for it (HeatGlo 8.0 Tube, and a SunGlo bulb).

The Dragon has the SunGlo spotlight and it's own tank, and since it's a baby and the iguana is a juvinile turd, they are not near each other.

No one likes you chip, go away.

Yeah, I have a stick and a rock.

He got bigger over the past 2 weeks, about another inch or so. Let me tell you, those things have an appetite!
