Lots of photos!

[Horsy]

Of my beardie! Got a big carried away just then as I redid his enclosure so I thought it was a good time to take photos. I missed the cutest pic of him completely verticle up one of the branches but oh well! Enjoy.

The heat rock is getting removed because of malfunction warnings and things people have told me of. He's going to hate me for it but I'll just replace it with a basking light.

Nice....but we want mooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrre

 

[Horsy]

Lol I can't take anymore. My batteries died. Crap camera.

 

[nickamon]

Your beardie is very cute!

 

[Duke]

Agreed on cuteness.

He looks very happy too.

Is that fake grass stuff easy to clean?

 

[Horsy]

Yeah I find it easy to clean. Just take it out the back and spray it down the a hose. I then put newspaper in the enclosure until the turf dries. It looks nicer than newspaper.

 

[Leigh]

where do you buy that fake turf? i currently use newspaper, but would prefer to change to the turf. eventually sand would be cool, but untill then, i wanna get the green stuff. any help's appreciated.

Cute lizzard

 

[Leigh]

also, does ur beardy enjoy that bird ladder? i had never thought of that before, but i may try it myself. does he/she ever have trouble crawling along it?

 

[Duke]

Yo Leigh! I might have some stuff from my old bird cages that may help you. Will prob need to be disinfected because they were mostly outside birds lol.

Will bring what I can find on Tuesday when I see you next.

 

[Horsy]

He's never had problems! Runs and jumps across it like there isn't any holes. He loves to lay on it =D I used it for my snake, who also adored it, but since his passing I decided to put it to more use.

 

[Leigh]

cool, thanks duke, ill see you tuesday. as for the fake green stuff, is that the stuff they use in fruit shops? under the fruit?

if not, then disregard the weirdness, my mum used to work in a fruit shop, i think it was there id seen it.

if yes, would it be safe just to get some from the fruit shop and dissinfect 'really' well?

 

[WombleHerp]

you can get fake grass from bunnings

you can also get it from clarke rubber.
it is best to have 2 pieces cut to size so that when one is dirty you take it out and put the second one in and wash the first one.

 

[Leigh]

it doesnt fall apart in the wash?

and thanks for the tips, ill go get some methinks

 

[Duke]

I wouldn't go putting it in the washing machine!
Just a hose down should do it. Or if you do manage two, hose the dirty one, leave in sun to dry, then repeat the next day.
The drenching/baking/drenching cycle should break up the most stubborn stains.

 

[Leigh]

you sound just a little like a housewife for a minute there, Duke...

and i got some freebies form the fruit shop, its not as full and lush as the fake stuff shown, but it should do the job. ill give it a good clean later, but its aparantly fresh cut from the role. nice

 

[mrs_davo]

why not have two pieces cut that same size, that way you can rotate them - instead of using newpaper while you are waiting for it to dry.......
Nice looking beardie by the way.....

 

[michael555]

[Horsy]
