Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Couple of Questions
So I rescued this beardie for Craigslist and he is pretty nice dosent mind being held friendly seems like he is healthy not sure if he is a male or female as of right now. So I am calling him a he for now. Anyway I used to own a bearded dragon about 3 years ago and had to stop cause of my location well I moved and I recently wanted to get another and saw the ad so I grapped him. He is in a 40 gallon breeder 100w basking light nice 18inch long uvb light I have a that rougher tile for the floor to help keep his nail down some wood and then a basking station that I built out of wood with steps and then turns in to a cool cave he can go into at night. With that being said when I first got him I gave him about half a dozen large crickets and he at them up no problem but 48 hours later he stopped eating. His basking spot is about 98 to 105 degrees and then my house is at 72 73 and I make sure his lights are on a timer and cycled. I also give me plenty of greens every other day collard greens mainly being on the diet.
I also gave him a bath which he seemed to like and seemed very thirst cause he drank the water continuously for about 5 mins. Anyway I am trying to start breeding dubia roaches instead of crickets by I am wondering should I be worried. Is something wrong or is he still just acclimating to his new home.

Id keep an eye on him for a few days and see what happens. Theres no telling if you "rescued" him off craigslist. If he came with a heat light and uvb light thats better then i see most having on craigslist, its usually just a light bulb and a tank full of sand. How large is he? Do you have an idea of age?

If I had to guess he is probably a year or a little under and your right he was on sand to small of a heat lamp and a uv that looked 2 years old. So i got him basking on a brand new 100w and a nice new uvb bulb. He did eat 5 this morning but now I am trying to get him to eat some greens and veggies.

Give him time to adjust to new surrounds and watch him closely. Keep him hydrated, and continue to offer food, try to mix it up he may be more prone to one feeder over another. Keep greens/veges of your choosing in tank at all times, dusting as needed. make sure he has a hideaway.... is he using his basking spot? If you think hes over a year may not hurt to drop his temps down a bit 94-98, and make sure theres a temperature gradient and a fresh uvb bulb and possibly new heat bulb if its not standard daylight or fullspectrum?
If its his new environment and changes are made should come around in a few days, a week or two if hes just stubborn.
