lol she sure looks plump, her enclosure looks nice mind taking a pic of the full enclosure?

[capsicum]

I will get a pick of the enclosure. It's a 2' x 2' x 2' melamine glass fronted cage. She has astro-turf/reptile carpet in there, with a few rocks, branches, etc. The background is an aquarium background

Hubby and I are planning to build a larger enclosure that is more arid looking, with a few select greenery items. I posted a pic of what I want to build in the enclosure forum

Ally is about 19 months old or so, 18.25 inches long. She gets her crickets and super worms a couple times a weeks, plus she gets daily salads of greens, fruit, etc. It depends on what is in our refridgerator, but she gets a lot of veggies (which she has come to love). She was on meal worms for a while when she stopped eating totally. I have gotten her switched over to supers and she is taking crickets now

Now, she puffs up when I take pics of her. I don't think she appreciates the flash, lol. So she often looks very fat in pics, but once she relaxes she doesn't look so rounded lol.

she's looking very nice, do you know why she would only eat mealies? The dragon I purchases from Dachiu will eat meal worms like there's no tomorrow (I know its not the best for them) but I feel superworms are way to big for her (and the small ones i ordered still haven't come through) but she will only occasionally eat a cricket and only eats a little salad a couple times a week. I take it she just eats untill she's hungry but i still don't see how she'll only eat 1-2 crickets and wont touch anymore for the day (they're 7 day old crickets she could eat bigger) but when the mealies hit the tank she eat them untill I won't feed her anymore.

Thank you Beaners

Ally's former owner only fed her meal worms on occasion, and basically nothing else. So, once I got her, I had a crash course in how to get my finicky beardie to eat

I had baby-sat a couple of beardies previously, but had never owned one I did notice that they did love mealies more than anything. Maybe they are like some people --> junk food junkies lol

Do you have any pics of your beardie? I would love to see her I am hoping to get a male bloodred next year, in hopes of breeding (once the male is old enough obviously).

Thanks for the compliment and for looking
