    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

i just got a beardie..
like 2 days ago and he hans't moving since
he's allways goin to a corner and he let's crickets climb on
him
my freinds told me that they r very aktiv
is there something wrong??
 
Two possibilities come to mind. First is temperature. Beardeds like it hot and if it's cool, they don't do much at all. I always provided my adults with a basking spot around 110°F/43.3°C.

The second thought is it that it may be trying to brumate. I had a female that would head off to a corner of the cage in mid August and would remain there for 6 weeks. The corner was dark and behind a large stump. The cage was huge and that was the coolest corner, being around 65-70° (18.3-21°C). A male would usually follow suit sometime in early September.
It did no good for me to get them out of hiding, they just went right back without eating as soon as I left the room.
A few weeks later though, they'd be out one day just like nothing happened.
Other adults I've had were active year round, but the behavior you describe reminds me of those two in particular that started brumating on their own when outside temperatures were still in the 80s.
