    ★About Professor Herp★
    I started getting into the reptile hobby in February of 2018. My first reptile was my Bearded Dragon - Maxine Pegasus (creator of duel monsters btw). Since then, I have added five Yellow Ackie Monitors (Asus, Dell, LG, and two unnamed babies), a Chacoan Black and White Tegu (Frappuccino), a Crested Gecko (Destin), and a Russian Tortoise (Tortellini). I also have a dog named Thrall (yes, from World of Warcraft) who is a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix - aka a Chiweenie.
    My goal with this channel is to share my knowledge, experience and journey with other reptile/animal enthusiasts and become a better caretaker because of it. Hopefully I can learn a lot from the community through these videos.

    I like the details on how to construct the box. More details on the mix would be appreciated. Were you aiming for 9 parts play sand and 1 part organic soil? What types of soil mix do people generally reguard as safe?

    • @ProfessorHerp
      @ProfessorHerp  5 лет назад +1

      You are more aiming for a general feel. You want something that feels like moist sand at the beach; something you can make a sand castle with. Some people will do all soil, some people will do all sand. The overall goal is have substrate the retains moisture and is somewhat stable so it will not collapse in on your beardie. If I had to guess, I would say I did a half bag of sand to two handfuls of soil. A lot more sand than soil. Your last part got cutoff so I am not sure how to answer :)

    a friend of mine gave me his beardie three days ago and she has all these symptoms, she doesn’t want to eat, shes digging a lot, she’s scratching the glass, and a can feel little bumps on the sides of her belly. its been almost three days since she hasnt ate, but i bathe her in warm water. your video has been very helpful and thanks for that! what worries me is what if she is carrying infertile eggs but cant lay them? her previous owner didnt really pay attention to her which is concerning.. and i was wondering if they have to have a different place to lay eggs or could they just stay in their enclosure? thanks for the tips!

    • @ProfessorHerp
      @ProfessorHerp  4 года назад

      Some people have their reptiles lay in their enclosure, some in a lay box. My Ackies lay in their enclosure. Either is fine as long as things are properly set up. Not laying infertile eggs can be a serious issue, but they can also be reabsorbed which, is not preferred, but not bad either. Holding on to those eggs in the belly is the real issue. Do some research on how long a beardie takes to drop their eggs, and if the length of time goes past that, check in with a exotic vet.

    I made a lay box for my beardie and she doesn't want anything to do with it, and she's due to lay infertile eggs in about two weeks. I have a question about afterwards, do you know if you feed them their bugs straight after they're finished laying or do you wait a day??

    • @ProfessorHerp

      you can feed them right after they lay, either or.

    Our dragon been mating and her belly been getting bigger at times it seems like there are marbles or eggs in her belly so we build her a nesting box and she seems to just be sleeping in there we put it in when she started digging.. how long does it normally take for them to lay

    • @ProfessorHerp
      @ProfessorHerp  4 года назад +1

      I believe a month to maybe a month and a half after mating. Not positive though.

    • @JWProhosting

      @@ProfessorHerp it has been about 7 weeks since their first (we think) successful mating. We put the lay lay box in the terrarium and she dug a nice burrow and been sleeping in it for two days. I'm pretty certain she has eggs in her. Most of what I read says they lay pretty quick once the get the lay box. We are new to this the female is beautiful red color morph and the male I think is a blue morph with maybe some hypo.. both were given to us cause they needed more attention than the previous owners could give. Lizzie came to us in August she was originally purchased for 1,500usd and Buck came to us about 8 months later. Not sure of cost to that owner but he a beautiful dragon.
