Hello, nobody in particular.
Welcome to Tidgy's Dad's Cold Dark Room.
Not expecting a lot of visitors in this pointless place, but this is where I live now.
It's good in here.
If anyone does visit, please feel free to say what you want( within forum guidelines, of course) and I will be happy to be silly, slightly insult you or ignore you completely which you are most welcome to do to me.
I will of course venture out occasionally, when I think I can be useful or annoying, but otherwise I live here now.
No advertising, let's see who spots me.
This is where i belong.
Tidgy is most unconcerned.
I have no idea what’s going on here but mark me down as confused and interested lol

I think my bearded dragons have taken a page from the Gulf Coast box turtle's winter playbook... In other words, they do whatever they feel like during the winter, and the primates in the house just have to deal with it.

The water turtles (three-striped muds and spotteds) are like... "What's winter?"

Our climates are similar, just reversed. No need to officially brumate them, but the normal seasonal temperature changes that happen, along with the varying photo period, is enough to cycle them and get them to breed. With blue tongue skinks, I just shut the lights off in winter, and my cooler house temps are enough to cycle them. With beardies, you don't even need to do that. Cooler nights but still having a basking light during the day suits them fine.

When I was in SA, few homes had AC, so I bet your normal room temp variation from winter to summer will do it too.
More than likely and you are right very few houses have AC here. Only the rich.? Which I am not because I spend all my money on my torts, dogs, cats, kids and now lizards.?

Well yeah.. as they get older they will take more greens also( which is good! Coz they will get obese) but they are awesome.. just very good eaters and more expensive to feed as many would think.
I saw this on the internet and yes, that is why I want to breed my own feeders.

Hi And welcome to the Mad house where a bunch of international pun loving gossip talking people get together to talk about everything under the sun and the clouds, and inbetween the storms.
Be careful to not step on a hedgehog and poke a jelly fish if you need some light in these dark corners. Don't worry about the snow leoperd she only eats carrots. Pull up an armidillo and grab a cup of coffee, he normally comes around in the morning offering coffee or tea.

I did not know that Heather had Bearded Dragons. :D
I think it was @EllieMay who explained to me that, even adjusted for relative size, bearded dragon poop has nothing on sulcata poop!

Although my bearded dragons at least understand that I want them to poop when I tell (ask) them to. They're like cats... They understand a lot, but compliance is completely up to them!
