    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Hey i have a beardie that is 6 months old and only about 12 inches. Phenomenal color though, sorry just thought i'd add that :) . Anyways, im not extremely happy about his size, and hes pretty skinny. I s there anything i can do to get his appetite up. I also have all the correct setup and temps, so that is more than likely not the problem.
 
I know you said that you have your set up correct but this is what I do and my dragons grow huge....

Temp 115 degrees through a Power Sun Bulb left on 14 hours a day
If you can't use a Power Sun bulb and need fluorescent try the UVB Mystic bulbs from Big Apple Herps.
30 to 60 right size crix daily
15 to 30 silkworms
occasional super worm
chopped greens daily
Calcium powder 1 time daily and vitamins 3 times weekly

If the appetite is still not there in addition to having a fresh stool sample checked for parasites give doses of Vitamin B. You can buy it in liquid form from "Beautiful Dragons".
