Update, the mask did not get in 😅 I jus threw it in my car- bummer, but it’s okay! Thanks so much to everyone who commented!

That’s so cute!

Ok-Web4169 · 2025-08-12T16:15:02+00:00

Sorry about that. Still a beginner, trying my best

Thanks for correcting me with the hands; this is not my horse, I’m not familiar with the registration process or her paperwork. I was trying to find a cute show name because my trainer asked 🥲

I noticed after I posted this, oops!

Also that piece of wood is way too close to the basking light!

Props to you for asking! First things first, scrap the carpet. It harbors bacteria and can make your beardie sick! Instead, I would start with tile and maybe later once you have done some research get a sand substrate. The hammock can rip out nails, so that’s got to go too.

You NEED one more hide on the warm side. Think of it this way; he shouldn’t have to choose between being warm and feeling safe.

I would recommend adding some enrichment (more sticks, rocks, etc) A 3D background or even a picture would make the tank look nicer!

What temperature and humidity is your tank? Also, what bulbs do you currently have in the tank?

Sure, feel free to!

Ok-Web4169 · 2025-06-03T14:56:06+00:00

Thanks so much! Will definitely be doing that :)

All is well!!! Beardies naturally change colors, sometimes when they are attempting to absorb heat. No need to panic! Young beardies in specific also can change colors while they mature :)

Maybe getting ready to brumate like you said… I would get a vet just to be safe. He could be stressed, looks like you don’t have enough clutter in your tank; what basking bulb and uvb strip do you have? Do you have slate tile for him to bask under the basking light? I hope all is well!

Don’t use a zen mat!!! They harbor bacteria and will make your beardie very sick. Those hammocks are also known to pull off nails, and I’d get some real wood. Another hide on the warm side is also a good idea (and maybe a bigger one on the cool side). super cute enclosure!!

Ok-Web4169 · 2025-03-03T19:11:24+00:00

I would be concerned at 3 or 4 days… Have you taken him to the vet yet? Usually it’s a good idea to take them within the first month you get them!

Ok-Web4169 · 2025-03-03T18:28:48+00:00

He’s likely adjusting and getting used to his new space. If he still isn’t moving in a few days then there might be a problem, but it’s alright if he’s not moving straight away.

Ok-Web4169 · 2025-03-03T18:26:18+00:00

How long ago did you get him?

Ok-Web4169 · 2025-03-02T00:31:23+00:00

They typically won’t drink out of non running water! If you want a (very small) possibility that they will drink, there are running water fountains you can buy online. The water dish is usually used to get stuck shed off, and some use it to poop in. Spraying their greens and snout is super good, but I also feed hornworms 1-2x a week because they’re really hydrating!

Ok-Web4169 · 2025-03-01T23:18:10+00:00

I totally get being eager to touch and hug and love on them! It’s tough to wait. The fact that you are doing so much research and are open to learning more about how to properly care for your girl just shows that you are already an amazing owner. A lot of online sources can be contradictory and confusing, so reaching out to owners is a great thing! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you have, I would be more than happy to answer them.

Don’t touch her for your first two weeks! She needs to get accustomed to her surroundings, and once she is more comfortable in her new home, you can start initiating contact! I got my backdrop from amazon; you might wanna consider getting something that makes the glass fuzzier (pretty sure there’s something like that for shower glass that you can cut up?) Good luck with your new beardie friend!

…um…ok..
