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.

Humidity?
So I've been reading a variety of different information regarding the humidity of the enclosure for my beardies.
In one place I see that humidity needs to be between 35%-55%.
In another I see that humidity doesn't need to be very high at all, as long as it doesn't drop below 25%.
One place recommends using waterfalls/moss/watering dishes to keep humidity up.
Another says using these things will raise it too high and cause respiratory issues.
I have a meter to read humidity in the cage and it seems to be really hard to keep it above the 35%. Most places that I've read said that 1-2 mists a day should be enough to keep the humidity at the proper reading. However, I've keep an eye on the reading all day yesterday (before my beardies arrived) and I would spritz the cage and it would maintain at 35% for only 1-2 hours and then drop back down below 20%.
I currently have a shallow watering dish in the cage for them to bathe in/drink from (I know to change it regularly).
My question is, what does everyone here tend to do in regards to their humidity? What do you keep it at? Do you use any props? (waterfalls/watering dishes/moss?)
Thanks so much!!!

Oh- I forgot to mention that our house is a constant 74 degrees with central air conditioning. Considering the central air, our humidity levels are really low.

Hi Kat....your dragons will probably be fine with a good mist/spray just once daily unless they are shedding, then you can do it twice a day simply to aid in shedding. Even then, you don't want wetness or excess humidity in the tank so you don't need moss either. Waterfalls would probably raise the humidity a bit too much and can be a place for bacteria growth. You can bathe them regularly too if you like to aid in hydration as well as shedding.[ some dragons will drink, others will rarely do so ]
