I don't consider myself to be an expert but I have successfully bred bearded dragons and raised them this way for at least 4 years. I've actually never had this problem before.



Never once have I had a problem with impaction. Impaction from a med sized cricket (1/2 inch long) I could only see happening for a hatchling.



This breeder has been working with reptiles since he was 16 and has a Masters degree in Herpetology. I think he's 45 which would give him over 20 years experiance.



This baby does not have a problem with digestion. If he eats in the morning, he poops it out within 8-10 hours.



He climbs, basks on his own...eats vegetables and has been taken to the vet...I'm convinced he's healthy.



Clearly I wouldn't believe ever word on this forum to be solid gold since we apparently have people posting that they keep tokays with leopard geckos and frogs in the same 30 gal tank.



Not to say that some words of advice aren't very good or true but I wouldn't base a book off the information in these forums.



I'm no expert but I highly doubt everyone here has a degree in herpetology. I'll trust someone with 8 years of professional schooling and more than 20 years of experiance over a post ona forum any day.



I would think that these forums are for basic knowledge, suggestions, and fun...not to make the next standard University Herpetology text book.



I wonder why people are so hostile in these forums...it makes me kinda edgey...I thought these things were for fun not to vent on other people with decent questions...maybe I was wrong.
