never give up. Our beardie who is a siblings of Chillis doesn't like veges can't get the little gem to eat them no matter what. This morning ate a piece of lettuce, was mixed in with meal worms and crickets etc so here's hoping.!!!!!!!!!!!! just keep on trying. I put in a mix of veges and fruit every day and change in the pm. GOOD LUCK

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone. can you help. looking at enlarging my sons tank. he has three golden bells at the moment. about 1 year old. has the opportunity to get a 60X45X45 terrarium with 5 6 month old golden bells would this work???? his tank at the moment is about 40 by 30 by 40. cheers ......

wow thanks for sharing absolutely love the Central Netted Dragons. well done!!!!!!! :bounce:

We need one in Wellington!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People bowing to your expertise. My 9 week old bearded dragon was scarthing at the bottom of her tank tonight? why would this be? She is on glass on 3/4 of the surface, with one 1/4 been covered in sand courtesy of Rockwork (when they came and instaled my amazing wall!!). My other problem/problems is that a) she is not a very good vege eater and b) the one thing she does like wax moth lavae will not be in till nex t week. MY QUESTIONS TO YOU ARE" 1/ will she eat her veges if nothing else available, I did do the baby food as you suggested livingart, not sure it is eating it. 2/ if not what should i try her on as the meal worms don't seem to be a hit.\ 3/ weighed her/him yesterdsay at 12g??? is this ok for a 9 week old, your advise chilli, livingart, Rockwork, Mincie, Repto any all the other please. FIRST TIME OWNER HERE AND SCARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok Chilli that is very impressive. Can't wait for that to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the comment. At the moment nothing really. Will sand up when Doza gets bigger, some sand down one end, courtesy of Rockwork, Doza quiet likes it, just haven't done the whole tank yet.

cheers livingart will do.

First cheers Rockwork brilliant stuff!! Here's a couple of pictures. loves to climb and bask at the top

Picture of Doza, 8 weeks old. Had for 3 weeks now. Doing well. having trouble getting her to eat veges, but loves her worms. PS just calling a girl as we want another one, hopeful thinking!!! lol...

picture of Doza and friend. Approx 8 weeks old.

Named by the kids as DOZA!!!!!!!!!!!!! will try and get better pictures this weekend...

Very impressive Varanophile, congratulations. Good luck :bounce:

Now thanks to Chilli we are all on the same page. Yes a beardie, 5-6 weeks old. First time on the reptile front. very excited indeed. Kids are over the moon, just trying to name at the moment. Any suggestions?

As for the mum I am sure she is fine. I am a wreck though.!!!!!!!!!!!!! very nervous.... watching like a hawk.lol

YES, our little one arrived today and so cute. just trying to get pictures sorted out and letting him/her settle in. We are also trying to sort out names. Anyway he/she is gorgous, we can't stop looking at him/her. Just trying to get over those first nerves of letting him/her settle in and start to eat. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appriciated. Reading my manual at the mo.

They are stuning and so cute. We are finally becoming one of the croud. Tank is been made at moment and little one is hopefully going to be arranged today. Well Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: was very interesting. kids loved it.... made us want a beardie even more, kids now think oz would be a cool place to live and everywhere else over the world. lol.

Hi guys, have you tried a electrical wholesaler, they also sell to the public. places like REXEL on ghuznee st, and few others around town. Give them a ring they will be able to tell you if they have in stock. go in on a good day and the discount could be good (lol). If you know a sparky see if they can source for you, their discounts are often good. hope this helps.

hi everyone. thanks for your feedback and info. Found a book shop with the manual in, so off to get today. checking out enclosure next week from port nicholson man. Then get the important stuff, like lights etc and last but not least find a breeder. will keep you posted. If anyone can help re breeders much appriciated. Also, do you recomend i start of with tiles at the bottom or sand.

sorry the other questions should have read are they social animals to each other. but repto kindly answered. thank you

We are seriously considering getting a bearded dragon. at the moment doing research via books (haven't got one yet, trying to track some books down. Wellington City library don't carry, so doing the rounds over the weekend to book stores). But wanted to ask the experts, what is it like to own one. 1. How social are they? 2. Are they ok for childrem, the kids are desperate (so am I really) to get one, dad has sais ok, but i need to check if they are fine. 3. Can they get on with other pets? 4. What age should you get one? 5. Should you one get one, are the social creatures 6. Can anyone tell me the best place to get one and what price should i be looking at (so as not to get ripped off?). I know a lot of this would be answered in books, but would love to get from horses (excuse me reptiles mouth). Talking to the man at Port Nicholsons Glass next week re the enclosure, want to get all the i's dotted and t's crossed before looking at purchasing the wee darling/darlings. I look forward to any help/suggestions you may have.

went with the booklet that came with the tank and measured myself.

i wish i had one that big. maybe the next one if me and the kids get our way. We are trying to up the animal intake in the house. Dad has put his foot down at the beared dragon so we have moved onto fish for now. Collecting some fish over the next few days, will tray and take some pics.
