Cold Blood Creations hi am I the only one here

[@HighClassPythonS]

I need your help, i rescued a adult bearded from someone they had him in horrible confitions he looks very alert after i put the heat lite on for him but he is very very skinny to the point that the bone from where the tail starts is out....is there any way that we can be in contact mayb you can help me, i have some knowledge cause i keep other reptiles but never had a beaded but i just cudnt leave it in the conditions...??is there a way that we can speak??

[@xavierpeterson7119]

1 how hot should there tank be and how do u bread meal worms

[@angelanelson1839]

Well do you sell the super worms?

[@breezebye7193]

We have a double light fixture that came with the adult bearded dragon we got from a friend that couldn’t care for her anymore and we were sold a light bulb that’s supposed to be the uvb on one side and basking bulb on the other side I see that the tube type is what you are using is that the only one that will work for uvb lighting and if so should we just put two basking bulbs in the fixture? Also how close to the lights should the basking spot be because hers is right next to the basking and Uvb light ? And is it ok to feed freeze dried crickets? because the crickets are so hard to feed jumping out of the cage etc and also end up dying off really fast so we have stuck to mealworms occasionally super worms I think they’re called they are big green worms and we also feed the freeze dried crickets I think it’s freeze dried lol but they are definitely dead so anyway I would appreciate anything you can answer for me thanks oh and she is shedding also I am just worried that maybe it’s because she is having the wrong light or she’s too close to it l? Oh and one more thing should she eat every day once a day or every other day because she was eating twice a day but I felt that was just a little too much and that could also be a reason for her shedding? Ok thank you

[@marcuswimbush1684]

I just invested in two baby dragons, trust me the pet store did Not mention anything close to your knowledge of things that were said on your video. I also admire the fact that its a family business, that's awesome. I don't have any questions right now just taking notes and letting 8 year old color and draw according to the notes. Thanks again!

[@wafflenuggets5736]

Do you still have them?

[@lux9350]

You still have them?

[@eddiegray9487]

Love how you guys broke down the water, fat and protein % of each food type

[@chadpugh1490]

Finally a KZbinr that is clear, loud and easy to understand. New sub here.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Awesome, thank you!

[@skypohlmann4207]

When I get toast I am going to take him outside everyday after school and it ends at 2 so he can get some natural sunlight every day

[@Josxeph]

How is he now?

[@Nickaroonii]

I cant :( I live in a coyote and wildcat area

[@pld1213]

I am currently on my 3rd beardie from one of the big box chain stores. When I asked what I was doing wrong, the response was "nothing". Told maybe it was because the first 2 came during our big storm and not heated correctly. I had done my research and homework with other KZbin videos before getting even the 1st one (wishing I would have seen cold blooded creation videos first..... found you on pinterest). Not one employee at the pet store gave me any real info on my beardie and was actually surprised to learn some stuff from me. The water dish or how to give them a drink, the fact that they can have veggies as babies and should, also that their crickets are too big. Yeah they will eat them, they're hungry, but they should be the size between their eyes. I know now that if this beardie doesn't make it I will be purchasing one from you guys. Hands down the best info I have found. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!!

[@kojimin]

I just got a beardie a few days ago, and your videos have been invaluable. The guy at Petsmart didn't give me nearly as much info as your videos. They even let me leave with out a UVB light! I'm trying to get everything set up nicely for my new friend so I'll probably watch every single video here lol

[@Elopret]

Also you should already know this do your research you did something blindly and that could end up making your dragon pay

[@k-krops1999]

Invaluable?

[@floaterfans]

PetCo, where the pets go, to die...🤧

[@thegardenguy8317]

After they crap for the 1st time you will want to return the dragon ASAP

[@shawns4354]

Hopefuly it is thriving still.

[@adamcarter9443]

My name is Jen I am so glad I came across your videos we just got a bearded dragon for my son and it's giving me a lot of information to help him be raised healthy!😊

[@melizaphotoz]

Every pet store should add the link to this video on the receipt when selling a bearded dragon! Very very specific detailed important info ty

[@reneeparker3682]

I'm a new dragon owner. His name is Mushu 😁! I feed him fresh veggies. You guys were talking about vitamin c is very important. He loves yellow and orange bell peppers. He doesn't like for anyone to watch him eat. If he doesn't want it he will fling it everywhere with his back legs. He loves mealworms. I give him crickets so he can hunt something. I love all of the information you all give. I've done so much research and compared what seems right and what is absurd. Thank you again for your help!

[@mrshoran1dlove]

This was great! I definitely learned a lot about insects that I didn’t know! I really enjoyed watching this video :)

[@ColdBloodCreations]

We're so glad to hear that, thank you!

[@abbyrosario7960]

you guys are freaking awesome. i love you guys and i JUST found y’all after having adopted a bearded dragon. you guys definitely go the extra mile and genuinely care about the livelihood of reptiles. you guys are awesome !!!

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Awe... Thank you Abby!

[@marycole1943]

Thanks for the information I have a baby and followed your 1st video. It really helped me more than anything, and this one is no different. 🤗

[@samanthamoseley9450]

Mary Cole make sure you look up on google

[@KLGB420]

Thank you so much. Your videos are so helpful. We just got our first baby. He's a Red dragon. I'm so in love with this guy.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

You are so welcome!

[@richardcatalinajr.369]

Great videos, thanks for posting. We got a young dragon about 10 days ago and went through the ringer over the first week trying to figure out how much it should eat. The big box store told us about 15-18 crickets at 3-5 times/day. So, we bought 100 crickets and they said we will be back in a couple of days to buy more. Other online sources provided similar advice. Our baby - about 6 inches from snout to end of tail - only ate about 3-5 crickets per day for the first week. We were alarmed thinking that relocation stress would kill it. It looked healthy, was somewhat active, and all around responsive, but we were still concerned. Eventually, I concluded that 15-18 crickets several times per day was just too much for the baby. Anton is now eating about 5-8 crickets per meal at 2-3 times per day. He will eat what he wants and then stops and climbs up to his perch under the basking light. I take this as he is eating as much as feels like (which will obviously change as he grows). And, he comes down to gulp down chopped pepper, arugula, blueberries and carrots 2-3 times per day. We are satisfied that he is getting enough. And, we can tell he has grown in the 10 days since he joined the family. Sometimes we just need to take nature's queues. This video confirmed that it is possible to overfeed a dragon. Thanks.

[@TruecrimeWithAlicia]

Pet stores in Shallote NC has Chameleons, Geikos & Bearded Dragons placed for beginers. I told them these Reptiles are NOT easy care & not for beginers.I wish the states would stop these stores from sharing false info and force them to be honest about how hard it can be to care for these reptiles. We rescue many weekly due to ppl rehoming after purchasing. Because its harder than they thought. Thank you for sharing so much proper info

[@m.highley9170]

I'm so glad I found this channel. I've never kept a reptile before and have no idea what to feed them. I'm trying to get as much information as I can so I can give one a good quality of life

[@chrisc.c52]

Do you feed an adult bearded dragon once a day? morning? Midday? I think that if you make a list on paper of what you talked about on this video so that people can copy it and have something to go by daily... That would be very helpful in taking care of of their bearded dragons.

[@kellywilkinson9563]

hi I'm getting a bearded dragon soon and could you please consider talking a bit about your dragon's daily diet. like how many bugs you would feed it a day, and how much vedge.

[@mathewpoole3589]

I recently acquired my beardy as a baby back in Jan/Feb. I had an adult for a while, but he died of old age a few years back. This one is definitely a much more picky eater than what I am use to, so I've had to find different ways to encourage him to eat. I recently bought a cave style rock that sits in the corner and once a day I put crickets in there. Every so often, one or two will find their way out and catch his attention. When he's actually feeling hungry, he's learnt to go to the cave to see what he can find. I tried monitoring him when he eats and remove what's left, but it's hard to maintain this when I have to go to work in the morning. Before I bought the cave, I would put a few crickets in his cage for him to hunt during the day, but some would end up living in there with him, hiding in and amongst his driftwood perch and whatnot. He has little to no interest in fruits, flowers and vegetables at this point. But he does like peas that he'll eat them out of my hand with no hesitation, so I've started inserting supplement pellets into each pea just to make sure that he's getting his daily vitamins. Woodies (Australian wood roaches) are like crack for him. So much so that I need to be careful opening his cage when feeding them to him. He's already jumped out to try and get the ones I was holding. He'll also attack the side of his cage if he can hear/smell them nearby. Once you find something that your beardy likes and will actively chase, reserve as a treat, and for use when training your dragon.

[@bobbiechandler6493]

I taught my dragon to drink from a hamster water bottle because I didn't like the idea of him not having water when he wants. It was so easy dragons are so smart and catch on fast

[@milachavi]

How did you do that?

[@sharonmcentee8615]

Yes how did you attach it. And how high?

[@sharonmcentee8615]

Yes how do you attach it to the cage and how high?

[@royalsportsshow9118]

Please explain how you did that, because mines just don’t drink water.

[@Violetjade74]

Lol I very much enjoy your channel, funny antics, the way you give the information is clear and gives ME the choice as well. Thank you. Oh and the bloopers bring me back as well. 😆 lol

[@sydneycrum3761]

i’m getting a bearded dragon and this was really helpful! thanks!

[@Big_AlMC]

Hows your beardie?

[@haydenmccaffrey3091]

Yeah is it doing good

[@chrisfisher5745]

I like your videos that are very helpful. I'm a first time bearded dragon owner and your videos help me to learn the right why to care for my bearded dragon. I'm a little skeptical because there is so much information out there that it is hard to know what is the best information out there. All I won't is to do the best I can for my bearded dragon. Thanks for your time and information on raising my bearded dragon.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

That is awesome! Glad we could help.

[@BellaTriana]

I start working on a petstore like almost a year ago and they're really nice people and I do believe they like animals, but... just a few of us are actually deeply interested in animals at all. Not even talking about the reptile area in specific (we are only 2) . So there's me and another girl ((she's the one who teach me all I know about reptiles now day because at the beginning I was so scared of those sweet little dudes XD )) , but there's a thing... and is that since I started watching your channel I noticed that we, the petstore workers get the minimum of information about reptile care. That girl knows a lot to be fair but not this much so I'm really grateful I found this channel. And now I can recommend it to my costumers and get it for my own knowledge too.

[@highrider75501]

I am getting a bearded dragon and nervous so your information is helpful thank you so much.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

So glad to be of help!! Good luck with your future beardie! :)

[@double5bbq]

I also live in south Ga and have muscadine grapes. Are the grape leaves a good staple green? All winter I feed lots of dandelions to the from my yard. I want to find a good summer staple I can grow.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

YES!!! So glad that you mentioned that. Our dragons LOVE grape leaves as do our tortoises.

[@darlenedossey4248]

Do we need to buy the two lights that they're saying at the Petco

[@tbella5186]

The lighting bug thing blew me away. Very good to know.

[@tabithagabriel2904]

Omg thank u for the video I just purchased a baby dragon Sunday soo much info

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Good luck!!

[@SignTribe]

Thank you! I'd like to know the age range of BD for when they're considered juvenile, subadult, and adult. Mine is about 7 months now, and it seems like his preference for food is changing over to more greens and veggies versus insects. Can you speak a bit more about the specific age ranges and what to expect for each one regarding food preference change and any other things to consider as they grow older?

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Yes. We are already preparing another video on housing, cage selection, etc. I'll keep your suggestion in mind. Thanks for commenting.

[@SignTribe]

Cold Blood Creations Sounds great; thank you!

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Our pleasure...

[@rhondazinn2908]

What if we are in Atlantic Canada? Is it safe to take outside in winter? We have a body carrier that he can be next to our body heat.

[@lukaslambs5780]

I love watching my beardie eat a variety of foods! I also love knowing that the insects he eats are gutloded and he’s getting as healthy food as possible

[@melissaloughner9654]

We feed out beardie Dubai roaches ( tong and hand feed)..I think that's how u spell em...and we give meal worms as a treat and same with crickets. We also feed bananas, kale, romaine (occasionally) and yellow squash (peeled) and our beardie is 3-ish Y/o. We have only had Lizzo for several weeks..hopefully we are doing it right

[@benjaminmason1162]

I absolutely love this channel I am so glad I found you two. This is by far the best channel for me to learn about my new bearded dragon! I have one question request which I hope shows up.. - how to get my young dragon to eat vegetables. She doesn’t really eat from my hand and sometimes she’ll only eat veggies if I sneak one by her while she is basking with her mouth open. I leave it in the cage and she’ll ignore it until I need to give her protein. Thanks again you two! Look forward to future videos!

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Sometime you will have to let them fast for a few days (it won't hut 'em) and then offer ONLY veggies until they take it. Then only offer insects as an occasional snack and ONLY after they have eaten their veggies.

[@emiliyayaneva7843]

Hi and thanks for these great videos you are making. When summer comes, is a bearder dragon gona be okay to come with us on a week holiday by the sea without taking all his terrarium lights and gear? Usualy when we go is 25-35 degrees Celsium, hotter in direct sun. Can he spend the whole day with us on the beach sun bathing (and sea bathing), running on the sand etc.? Should we bring any additional bulbs or heat pad for night? Thanks!

[@ashphodeldimixtry26]

I am SO glad I found this channel as I was planning to get a beardie. I was super confused on a lot of things and you all cleared all of my questions up

[@maryhagist]

I appreciate this video on what to feed my bearded dragon but I need to know how much to feed. I have a six-month-old dragon and I'm not sure if he's getting enough food or too much Thank you.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

We cover this in our frequently asked questions video. Check it out...

[@sneakerhead2261]

We have a baby Beardie and need to know if we leave his basking bulb on at all times since he’s little

[@Silvercrypto-xk4zy]

ive always heard the issue with meal worms is not fat content, its the higher level of chiten (Spelling) aka their exoskeleton being harder and raising the risk of impaction

[@ColdBloodCreations]

That is not true. The chitin is almost pure fiber, and actually aids in digestion. This is a rumor and it is not true. We feed mealworms regularly to all of our dragons, even babies, and they poop far more than they would if we didn't. Impaction is nowhere near as common as it is claimed or misdiagnosed to be.

[@annalisefant9498]

Thamk you for making this video, it answered a LOT of my questions. :)

[@ColdBloodCreations]

You're so welcome!

[@cathyherr8031]

Thank you so very much for the information, as always, it's very helpful!! Some time if you have no subject to discuss, could you do a informative video on the Purple Paradox bearded dragons? Price, best age to get, and where? In advance, thank you so very much and keep up the great work!!

I am considering getting a beardie as a pet so I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Your videos are awesome, thanks for what you do. I hope to be able go to the Atlanta reptile expo in a couple weeks.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Happy to help!

[@Littlebuderphly]

Our Smaug loves green peppers, spinach, and mangos with his super worms and crickets. We only buy crickets when we re-stock super worms so he thinks they are a treat. He loves chasing them around his tank.

[@ValeriaGarzon]

hi guys! I am new here, but I am passionate about animals.. and yet I don't own any reptiles or dragon... but I found your channel searching for help to understand how I can help the geicos I do have at my house and around. I live at Orlando FL and here they're very popular, since I do have cats at home they often bring "as a gift" geicos or lizard almost like dead or so, and I got in this task of try to restore they health and release them far away from my naughty kittycats. I love the amount of information and kindness that you both share in your channel. thanks for all the people who loves animals!!!

I hear a lot about using substrate And not to use sand but I was wondering if you can use ceramic tile underneath and small stones and rocks for the bottom of the enclosure. I don't have a bearded dragon yet. at this point I am just doing research and trying to plan the enclosure.

I rescued an 11 month old female bearded dragon. What’s the best staple feeder insects to feed her not the snack ones. I would like to start my own colonies of them for her to save money as well.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Dubia roaches are definitely among the best staple insects, but remember that variety is key! Hope this helps, thanks for stopping by the channel :)

It took me six years to finally get another. Little bit is a baby and is only about 6 and 1/2 inches and I am going to do everything I can to make sure he has a long healthy life. The information I receive from you is very important and very valued. thank you for your videos and your experience with bearded dragons. I'll catch you on the one.

Thank you so very much for this very informative DRAGON video! Over the years I purchased 2 baby bearded dragons and they both ended up dying, which broke my heart. I was doing everything that I was told to do, which thanks to your video, I now know what I did wrong! They are not like iguanas! I would like to do more research on Dragons and possibly buy a bigger one. Thank you SO very much!

Great video! Could you do one on BD brumation? Specifically, I'd like to see how to tell if they're sick or going into brumation, what time of year they may brumate, how (or if) they should be handled during brumation, if they need different/special care during that time, is there a difference in males and females as respects brumation, etc.

Yes please!!

What’s the best way to go about handling and best way to pick up bearded dragon

[@jaymack200nm]

What about feeding them baby mice is that ok?

[@tonyalandrum2583]

How do I approach picking up my large big dragon? She is comfortable with me petting and spending time with her in the cage. I got her a leash to get her out. But she freaks out when I try to pick her up. And yes I do try around her belly but I am not sure what it means to pick her up from the front. Thank you. This is my first one and she is happy and has gotten much bigger. But I have tried to pick her up since she was small. Keep up the great informative videos! Have a wonderful blessed week

[@mrsboss569]

Hey guys we had got a baby bearded dragon from petsmart. It had only been 6 days. We spent so much time looking for him and so much $ on his habitat. My daughter found him. He had his mouth stuck open onto the big rock that came in the 40 gal set. It was so heartbreaking.. We love our babies. We had watched some of y'all videos to educate ourselves..

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Sorry to hear about your loss. We literally messages like your every single day from people. Same store, same results. It's sad...

I was thinking about getting a beardy as a pet, and I have just stumbled upon your videos. Great information, gained a lot of information from you, excellent job keep it up

[@bonniepeterson7199]

I am a first time reptile owner. We adopted a baby Bearded Dragon in December. Could you make a video describing the life cycle of a Bearded Dragon? I would love to know more about the length of time between his ages/stages. Thanks for all your useful info!

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Thanks for the idea!

[@jaybolden4624]

Thank you. Please keep the beardie videos coming. Really appreciate the knowledge and experience being shared. My questions are: How do you bond with your beardie or is that even possible? Should he be taken out the cage daily? Should he be fed by hand? (I’ve noticed he becomes a little jittery when hand comes in enclosure.) Oh, and I “breed” red wiggler worms during vermicomposting, can I feed red wiggler worms (eisenia fetida) to the beardie and if so, how much, and how often? Thank you so much!

[@cathyherr8031]

Hi, my beardie was handled daily by my girls daily and even gone to school for show and tell, (not recommend during C19) so she’s very comfortable and not skittish at all. But I’ve noticed that males demeanors are slightly different than the females. If you 8yr old is not afraid to handle your beardie, let them handle him daily. Start sm, can I call him Oscar for a minute? Take Oscar out of his closure, and the two of you sit on the floor with him and just interact with him until Oscar gets used to being handled, first by you and some petting from your child. Then day by day let your child start picking Oscar up low to the floor until they are both familiar with each other and soon Oscar will not be so skittish. LOL, just don’t do like I did and hold Oscar to your face, I got bit. I guess I scared my baby beardie. Good luck and I hope it works out well.

[@-.-malk-.-3872]

If your picking him up from the top of his enclosure your beardie will think it’s a pretator so I would say get a cage that opens from the middle so they will know it’s you and not a scary birb

One outta my 2 baby dragons loves to cuddle on my shoulder snuggled in next to my neck. It's soo funny just feel it wiggle in farther once in a while. My other guy just wants to explore lol

Cold blood creations i can't get my dragon to eat any greens what should i do

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Don't panic, it's pretty common for bearded dragons to be picky and stubborn. We have a short video dedicated to this subject, I'll link it for you here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OwmaaBl8d1fdk Hope this helps! :)

I have 2 beardies, male and female. I had them for over 7 yrs. I've had 3 clutches laid. All eggs hatched and the babies went onto happy homes. And I have to say that I have never had a problem with mealworms, hornworms, or crickets. Also, I gut load my insects a few days before I give them to my beardies.

Thanks for your help and knowledge

I live in Arizona, I’m all set! Do you ship to Arizona?

[@ColdBloodCreations]

We do ship to Arizona, but we won't have baby dragons available until around mid-July. We will be posting updates here on KZbin as soon as they are ready. :)

I’m looking to a baby this year how often do i need to mist my baby? What feeding schedule should he be on? I’m so happy I found this channel nobody ever tells you about starting babies with vegetables. Great content!!

Would kale work for feeding a beardie as well?

[@ColdBloodCreations]

I don't use Kale, but then again, I personally think Kale tastes like crap so... Some seem to think Kale is not good for them, but I don't know if it's true or just another one of those internet rumors like mealworms that are perfectly fine for them...

My dragon is so picky! She will hardly touch any leafy greens

[@marygracebradford6218]

I am getting a bearded dragon soon and I am very excited and your videos keep helping. So keep up the good work!

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@starsheen1]

Can you do a video about temperament? We got a bearded dragon about three weeks ago, and she still freaks out when we try to take her out, her beard is almost always black. She does NOT like us handling her at all. How long will she hate us? 😂

[@starsheen1]

I should say she's about 8-9 mo old I believe. Oldest she could be is 10months, not quite a year.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Patience is a virtue. You are going to have to handle her/him to the point that trust develops. Beardies are typically not aggressive, but fear will cause them to appear to be. Once you gain the animals trust, you should see an improvement in behavior. But be prepared as it could take a little time and alot of interaction.

Constant black beard is a stress marker.

[@sethalinesl2787]

@@starsheen1 Idk how you're picking her up, but try scoping from her belly. Don't encase her. My mother's baby beardie REFUSED to calm down if my mother encased him in her hand, but I told her to not touch his back and just scope him up from his belly and legs and he was completely chill. She hasn't encased him since and we've had no problems with him stressing out/trying to escape. I also recommend doing a sound. Maybe the clicking sound most people do at cats, as a signal that you're fixing to touch the beardie and hold her. After a few times, she should associate the sounds with contact and not dying/getting hurt from it. It might still annoy her, but she shouldn't freak out since the sound let's her know that this is safe and she isn't in danger. Overall, all I can say is patience. Even if she gets mad, set a timer and keep her out for that long. Start with 3 minutes, to 5, to 10, all the way up to 30 or however long you would wish to hold her a day. This will ease her up to it and the timer will help let her know that she's going to be left alone once it beeps, and it makes sure you can't back out and give in to her stress signals. Putting her back in her enclosure as soon as she puffs up will just teach her that puffing up makes you leave her alone. Also make sure she has backgrounds on each side of her tank but 1. Over stimulation could be causing her to be so agitated if there is a lot of movement in the room. I.e, dogs playing, kids walking past, doors opening or any sort of loud and sudden noise. These can all stress her out greatly so the backgrounds help limit her vision of the room and keep her from over stimulation. Check the room over for stress inducing things to see if it's other outside factors. Air fresheners can make them act funny(my beardie gets lethargic if I have one in my room), too much movement in the room, pictures of animals like birds on the walls, animals in general if they're in the room, loud banging from doors or if you or your family yells that can stress her, and things like that. Goodluck to you

Dan bilzerian is that you

[@stefanieleavitt5224]

Mine isn't that into the veggies, but maybe thats due to just giving him one kinda green at a time. He definitely has room to grow though.

[@amieroberg9258]

I live in outback Australia. So outside time is pretty easy for me.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Doesn't get any better than that!

Is it possible for you to show a proper set up for a baby bearded dragon? We just bought our first one and want to make sure we have it set up properly. TIA!!

[@tammychapman-pavlik6800]

I have been watching several of your breaded dragons. On there vegetables no-one has mentioned if Keil is ok? Thank you for all your knowledgeable videos!

[@karenmelchiorre-holmes249]

It's been years since I've had a bearded dragon and I'm having to do a lot of research and I'm really enjoying your videos. I bought a juvenile bearded dragon and was trying to make sure I got the right size tank and because it was already in a 10 gallon tank I got the same size as I was trying not to stress out the little thing too much and doing other researches saying that it's too big of a tank would freak it out I didn't want to do that. I am going to get a bigger tank and I was going to go with a 40 gallon but watch one of your videos where you said it would be good to get 110 gallon. My question I actually have is is a 40 gallon tank sufficient for a while or absolutely necessary to get one 100 to 110 because I'm not really sure what I would do with the tank that big in my house. Also I would like to know how often I should feed my baby dragon crickets or mealworms until it is older as he or she seems to really enjoy the veggies.
