I was thinking about posting in SA Mart, but figured I'd ask here first: I'm looking to go up to a larger tank for my beardy, do you all have a particular site you prefer? Or if anyone has a 50+ gallon they'd part with I'd rather give a goon money dollars.

Thanks guys, I figured CL would be good. I've got no problem moving it, so busy need to find one! I'll keep an eye out at the pet smart, didn't know they did that! E: got one off someone for .66 a gallon. Thanks again! PathAsc fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Jun 12, 2017 |

Got my habitat all set up and little dude loves it! Question though, because I trust goons: how do I get him to poo poo in one area. I know they drop a lot when young, but I'm not sure how to make this happen. GF beardy does it no prob, but it's older by a few months.

Cless Alvein posted:...I did not know you can actually potty train some of them. I'm thinking about moving his fecal matter to the spot for a while, but if that doesn't work I can live with it. I could move it to near where he does the most too. Anyway, he seems pretty content with his living space, got a huge tank for cheap as gently caress so he can run, climb, and hide to his tiny lizard brain's content. The kids love the poo poo of of him! That sucks about the snake, that's gotta be a pain.

Zamboni_Rodeo posted:D'aaawwww, thanks! It's mostly the lighting, I've got the UVB lamps all along the tank, but a couple closer to his basking spot. Another is close to another vertical space, he's a big fan of all the lights. I believe he's about to shed again, he's got some bright orange, and it's really vivid on his ears. I'm post another pic after the shed. Here's he is today:  And here's the tank itself:  One of him before a shed when I got him:  My kids are pretty drat happy about him as well!

Zamboni_Rodeo posted:He's a cutie. Somewhere between 130 and 150. Craigslist special! I figure he's got room to run a bit more and it gave me more space to give him some climbing areas. My girlfriend has hers in a 40 gal and she seems content in there, chills in the hammock and runs after her crickets! Good times.

HungryMedusa posted:I would love a beardie but it's hard to find the space for an enclosure that large in my house. I've seen dragons with their owners at Petco and reptile shows on cute little leashes and they are so chill. Some day I'd love to have one. Not sure about roaches anywhere near my house though. As long as you can keep them secure it's ok, like putting a larger bowl or something around the enclosure for the roaches. I need to get my beardy more used to handling while he's young.

Invader Zym posted:10 year old daughter wants a pet lizard for her birthday. She's relatively responsible and careful. I'm looking for something not too expensive, tolerant of handling, that can live in a 20 gallon tank or smaller. Crested gecko and leopard gecko seem like the best candidates - any recommendation between the two, or another species? IIRC my cousins had a few leopard geckos at some point, among other things. Always heard about how great they are as a pet since they're pretty easy.

I don't know if you're in the STL area, but their Herp/whatever show used to have some really cool breeders. If you're not and I'm up there at some point soon I'll check it out for you if you want.

Desert Bus posted:One of my friends is in the market for a Bearded Dragon. Having both the knowledge that breeders have produced some very pretty animals and the money to purchase one, she is curious as to which breeders can be trusted. So I come to you to ask where that knowledge can be obtained. Thanks! I used these guys, super nice and they shipped s soon as payment cleared. Got my dragon the next day, they have some awesome looking ones imo. Atomic Lizard Ranch

No experience with the breed in that manner, but from a wildlife conservation standpoint don't do this. Also, yes, they're likely to die, not just from fights either. It's not a good idea to introduce any animal you buy to a new area, you can't really know what has gone on in their life that would affect putting them into the wild.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Ok, thanks for the explanation, great discussion. I know it's easier to just say "it's bad don't do it" and speak in general terms, but it's nice to get an explanation without people getting defensive about being questioned. I just wanted a better understanding and got one. No way would I risk the health of the Anole population in my yard, I enjoy them too much Sorry, didn't want to do a super long post, but I understood what you meant. Also I didn't see the thread again until just now, so whoops! Glad you got more specifics though.

I have hornworms coming for my beardie in a few days. I can't wait to see him chow down, he's getting comfortable with me reaching in and feeding him now, but he needs to chase poo poo too. Chill as gently caress.

mactheknife posted:So, our beardie has picked up a parasite and as part of the treatment and prevention process the vet has told us to get rid of organic materials like wood in his tank, as they can harbor stuff. This means he's losing his driftwood, which he loves. Oh poo poo, that sucks! My dude loves his driftwood. If it's just climbing surface you need for now you could probably fashion some stuff with builders cloth in a pinch.

Hornworms are apparently goddamn veal steak to 'ol sunny. He now stares at me in the morning hard as gently caress in the same spot, waiting to murder the little green tasties. How the gently caress does a lizard have so much charisma?

A beardy. Tangerine markings, he's about to shed again though, so I'll throw up a new pic when he does. Need to try to get him used to being held, but if it's too stressful I will stop.

Sunny continues to mock me from beneath his hide. As I go to work, he sleeps. When I come back, he might grace me with a slight opening of one scaly lid. Just so, to peer at me in smug relaxation as he continues to live in opulence. Work sucks, I want to be the lizard.

Sunny finally came out of bruminating last week. Three months of living the dream, that little rear end in a top hat has me jealous. He also believes me to be his personal servant who rains superworms from the sky. I think I'm the pet at this point.

Knorth posted:That's such a good lizard Deffo Sunny saw me this morning when I came back downstairs and went buckwild. Running everywhere, even crawled around on the hammock he's refused to touch. Then he managed to knock part of his rock mountain over. He's dying to hunt live quick things, so we headed to the local shop for crickets and dubias E: He's been super active, this cricket got chased, and then stalked after it hid under his rocks. I've got more live coming tomorrow I think.  E2: dubias showed up half an hour ago or so, fed sunny a handful and watched him obliterate like the little monster he is.
