Thats Bertie on the right & Gertie in the bottom left....we love them to bits xxx

my brothers after a beardied dragon.what else do they need in a viv along with a uv light and heat bulb?x

Bertie & Gertie feel soooo much happier now that people are showing interest in them aswell hahahaha...Here's a pic of our complete set up, Kim, so as to give you an idea as to what is required to house them, we did Have plastic Greenery as a backdrop but Bertie took a fancy to them and started to pull at them to try to eat them so to be on the safe side we removed it, not good for digestive system if swallowed. There pretty easy to keep and are really friendly Bertie is even toilet trained to knock with his nose on the window to use a litter tray for a number 2, Gertie is a little lazier and just goes when she needs hahahaha

take care

great looking beardies, nice amount of wieght around them aswell. if it was me i would take them off the sand (even if it's that calcium sand stuff) it's just a acident waiting to happen.

Ok this whole sand vs paper debate, my beardie is on sand and it hasn't caused any probs. I thought the idea was to be as natural as possible, so how could paper be natural

I kinda agree for hatchings but not for beardies that are 6 months and older

Heres mine and as you can see he's very healthy, half his enclosure is sand the other half is slate

well to be honest i agree paper is not natural at all and at the same time keeping a lizard in a wooden box in a artifal environment with artifical heating and artifcal lighting if far from natural. desert lizards don't bother about there substrate, the only time they do is when they want to dig and this can be over come with using moss. beardie ani't come from the wild so ani't gonna miss it. so real it is down to lowering the risk of dangers or wanting the pet to look good in it's tank. slate,tile and other substrate is fine for flooring. i have always kept mine on paper, but one leo that i brought from a breeder had been raised on sand and you can ask the vet hannah on here who helped to treat it when it got a impaction. £200 to have the sand removed and still died so it ani't worth it to be honest in my opinion. it might never happen but is it worth the risk
