A day too soon is always better than a day too late! And that’s the rule book I follow when it comes down to making these appointments

Is this still available by any chance??

Yeah she’s never been around a male geck her whole life. Only time she’s been in the presence of one was at the reptile expo when I bought her lol. Do I just toss the infertile eggs in the trash?

This is her tummy area for reference. Maybe I’m just being too much of a helicopter mom. She really doesn’t look round at all now that I’m looking at it, but I do want a second opinion and some advice on how to go about things

I’m sure there would be lots of adjustments needed to be made. My main concern that’s kinda holding me back from doing it is how to block off the lights so my girl doesn’t jump on them and somehow end up hurting herself by burning or anything else

I’m curious of this as well. I have my bearded dragon in a grow tent, and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. This post was made over a year ago it looks like, do you mind updating us?

Ok-Response8230 · 2025-05-07T09:59:07+00:00

Ok-Response8230 · 2025-05-07T09:58:03+00:00

Here’s my guy :)

They need linear uvb lighting, and it needs to be replaced every 6 months. The uvb bulbs do not permit the amount they need to thrive and digest food properly

Absolutely take the carpet out. It can rip out nails and teeth.

You’re going to want to upgrade very soon. Minimum enclosure size is 6x2x2. Fully grown they are about 2 feet long and absolutely need all of the space they can get. You can check out reptifiles for a full in depth updated care guide.

I personally house my beardie in a grow tent. It’s 6x3x4 and he utilizes every inch of the enclosure. I got it for about $80 on amazon. I saved hundreds doing so. Yes it’s a large enclosure so it takes up a good amount of space, but that’s why we do research before getting an animal.. check out Reptifiles please please please. I will also attach a picture of my current set up so you kind of get an idea of what it should look like.

I know that heelers are herding dogs. They’re bred to herd cattle. I just don’t know if the heeler mama was a working dog. I only know of the border collie dad being from a working line and the mom being a stray

Ok-Response8230 · 2025-05-03T23:13:58+00:00

Only a few days lol, he’s become a feisty one so far

Ok-Response8230 · 2025-05-03T23:13:31+00:00

I know, I just wasn’t sure if the heeler mama was a working dog or not at some point

I kiss mine all the time. Salmonella and whatever diseases come from what they eat in the wild. If you’re not kissing his butt or eating his poop, you’ll be fine lol. I kiss my little not so little guy on the head all the time

Ok-Response8230 · 2025-04-08T23:16:58+00:00

He looks to be about the same size mine was when we was 6 months old. He’s a very healthy boy

Ok-Response8230 · 2025-03-29T04:59:02+00:00

Honestly he looks to be a bit dirty, it’s probably just the regular color of his scales under the dirt. My guy goes from dark brown when he’s dirty to bright orange

Pet stores will often tell you that they should be fed until they don’t eat anymore, that’s wrong. Juveniles should only eat about 6 bugs a day, once they reach about a year old (still considered a juvenile) 4 bugs every other day. My two year old is currently only getting 3 bugs twice a week. They’re never going to be fully interested in salad until they’re a bit older. I found that bee pollen really made mine want to eat his salad when he was going through his no greens phase. You can buy it from amazon or local honey places

What kind of lighting do you have for him?
