A well ventilated vivarium prevents an increased humidity.

Do people only feed their dogs 2-3 a week? No and they don't feed them elk either. Water is good for skin and aids shedding, give the dragon a choice.

Do dogs eat elk?......not sure mines does ( in secret she might go out hunting around the southern coast) but she is partial to a carrot, does this mean shes a veggie ..."shock ...horror"

I was simply refering to wolves in their natural state lol We too have a staff that will eat anything- onion, tomato, monstermunch..etc

We recently moved, and my OH took one of her beardies with her. Currently it's on a hardwood floor, and i understand it has to be about 32 Degree's C. But it takes a long time to heat up, and the other day i saw the temp at around 40. Would a rug uner the viv help warm it up faster, and i think the temp went up because we had the heating on.....

i caught my female beardie bathing herself in the water bowl the other week, she was also pregnant at the time. is this because of being uncomfortable - due 2 pregnancy, too hot, or just pure fun?!? i thought it could also be because of shedding but i didnt notice her shedding.

I've noticed ours doing this just before laying, possibly due to the laying mix not seeming moist enough for them. They'd have a good soak and drink then shortly after disappear and dig like mad! Usually laying a clutch within a couple of days.

Hi best not spray any water in the viv....(humidity increases, they have it dry) in fact I would not spray at all...all your bds water should come from the veg and food he eats ......
