I would feed them live. I would do hoppers only to my adults and I would feed pinkies to my sub-adults and mealworms/crickets to the babies. I never tried frozen being that they have an insane feeding response.Originally Posted by Evenstar
Roaches - no way!!LoL, I'll stick to the crickets...
What do you mean about the UVB bulbs not working if they're overhead? I hadn't heard that yet. How else would you provide this? Or do you mean that the bulb just needs to be within 7" of the basking spot? I could do that....
Jon, did you feed live or f/t hoppers?
Still thinking... I tried to handle the adult captive bred Uro at our local petshop today. He was, of course, super skittish so no luck with that one. On the other hand, the itty bitty baby bearded hopped right into my hand with a look like "who the heck are you???" He was cute. I think I'm leaning that way.....
Thanks again guys!!!. I think what Evenstar was meaning was the UVB light needs to be farily close to the basking area. They spend alot of time in their basking spot so you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone by putting the lights farily close. I hade all my beardies in 422d Boaphiles and i put the UVB in myself right in the middle of the tank and It worked out fine. I would also change the UVB bulb every 6 months being that they are not very expencive and they do put off less UVL as time goes by.
