repto Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I have 3 small sacks of pool filter sand if anyone wants it?Dark stuff but when you say sand it is really fine gravel,would be ideal but weighs a ton and I don`t want to cart it anywhere so you`ll have to come for it whoever wants it?

Insect Direct Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 sand is dirty stuff you can seive it all day but it still gonna have urine and bacteria building up from the day you add to bd tank untill the day you replace :lol: I do like sand dont get me wrong but it should be replaced often imo tiles are a once off and can be wiped down relatively easily.

Dave+Amy Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 whats a good daily diet for a beardy? Im about to start up a locust and meal worm culture before i get my bd. I also realise that vegetables should be included. Anything else i should be looking into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabz Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Previous enclosure: 1800 x 600 x 500 Current enclosure: (looks different inside now tho) 1500 x 600 x 600 Length is more important than height. If you make it too high you will have problems with your dragons getting enough UV. You can get mega-rays but they are hard to source in NZ. To get the most out of your UV lamp your dragon needs to be able to get within 6 inches of it, without being able to touch it obviously. I did some research a while back, and having a dragon under UV lamp for a week, is the equivalent of having it in the sun for an hour (approximately). Not a lot when you think about it. 1200 x 600 x 600 is recommended as the minimum for 1 adult dragon. bigger is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Wow, thats a nice set up. How did you do the rock like wall? Soo would a 1500mm enclosure be alright for two dragons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabz Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Wow, thats a nice set up. How did you do the rock like wall? Soo would a 1500mm enclosure be alright for two dragons? Yea i'd say so, i don't really believe in keeping 2 together, i've heard too many horror stories. But if you have to, id make it as long as you can and have a equal basking spot at each end, and the cool part in the middle, that should kerb any dominace issues, also have 2 hiding places so they can get away from each other. That way they hopefully won't fight for the dominant perch. Arm waving and black bearding might look cool, but it's not behaviour you want to aim for. How old are your dragons? and what sex?

Dave+Amy Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I dont have one as of yet, but hopefully in the next few weeks. Im trying to get every thing set up and ready before I get one. So im in pursuit of an awsome enclosure, and now a stand to go with it. Where did you get your stand from? How old is your beardy?
