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.

Help Bearded Dragon Care!
Whats up!
This is my first bearded dragon and I need to know if I am doing things right. She is about 5 months old.
I also have a leopard gecko and corn snake but the beardie is my first diurnal reptile.
I have 40 gallon breeder tank setup with a 24" reptisun 10.0 bulb attached to a fixture I bought from walmart. Over the tank I have to heat lamps one is a 150 watt and the other is a 75 watt. The basking is around 110 degrees and the rest of the tank is between 85 to 95 on the hot side and 75 on the cool side. I feed her twice a day and she eats crickets and small superworms. I dust them with repashy calcium plus. I give her two to three baths a week. So now that I have explained the care Im giving her I have some questions about them because I want to make sure that me little girl is getting the best care she can.
My questions are:
1. Is the uvb tube right in my setup or should it be overhead?
2. How can I get her to eat veggies and greens. I have tried collard, mustard, turnip greens, carrots and butternut squash and she wont eat it.
3. Is the Repashy calcium plus any good it says that it is an all in one supplement that should be given to them everyday.
I have attached a pic of my setup and my beardie.
To all that take the time to reply to me I really appreciate you guys helping out.
Thank You

Personally, I would chill out with so many baths. Maybe with all the moisture form the baths could be the reason she isn't eating greens?
How long are you leaving the greens in there? Im not an expert, I only have a few beardies, but I've noticed that with 2 of mine they eat the greens right away, and with one other if I leave the greens in overnight they are usually eaten. He won't eat them immediately, but when I come in the next day they are all gone.

The older they get the more interested in the greens they get i got a few just started finally eatin greens but will only eat kale and mustard greens but they have always loved fresh green beans and they just turned 14 months old just give him time he will eventually eat them for ya, your setup looks good but what is in the front left corner looks like a folded blanket if it is i would be careful he doesnt get his claws caught in it
