Interested in bearded dragons advice and info needed :)

[mxjay]

The viv is ok but there is things you will not need, heat rock is a no no, can burn beardies, heats mats are no use for beardies, you will also need a uv tube 3/4 the length of the viv and a controller to power it.

If I was you I would stick with Tom, very enthusiastic keeper and viv builder, he knows his stuff.

Here a link on the basic setup, these guy are over in Northampton and can build you custom vivs.

Hope you manage to find something! Have you checked they're open tomorrow with it being a bank hol?

Please do not spend £300 on a bearded dragon kit. You will well overspend for usually inferior products.

Check here, here and here for more info. Or buy my viv! I've added more pics to the link in my sig by the way.

I don't think I'd have the heart to sell that after all the work! I'd have to keep it and would simply be forced to purchase more reptiles to put in it!

They are open on Monday Cat, 20% off livestock and 10% off everything else, take a look at their facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/northamptonreptilecentre

Hi guys,

took the plunge and brought a brand new 4x2x2 complete with everything have the slimline luminaire t5 39 watt lights. all brought from where mxjay sugguested northampton reptile centre. cost an arm and a leg but least will all be set up ill upload pic of viv if i knew how?? now in two minds as lady there said will b fine with 2 beardies (babies) was going to get male and female and throw eggs away but again stuff im reading saying the male can be really agressive with female in bredding season and stresses her out etc. so thought 2 females but seeing mixed views. lady said she got beardies together and fine, unsure?? xx

uploaded pics in my album xx

Looks good cat, glad you got sorted. I have 2 females together with no problems but I would never keep a male and a female together, it would cause far to many problems. If you get your beardies from a decent breader they will be able to sex them so you know what you will be getting. Thats a relly good place you went to starting out, Lois is very passionate about what she does.

As mx jay has suggested if you want to cohabit then f/f pairing is the only answer really in a 4x2x2, however, still no guarantee. Add a male to the occasion and your chances will decrease dramatically.
