All about my pet: Bearded Dragon

Bearded dragons in captivity can live up to more than a decade. If you want it to stay healthy and satisfied while under your care, you need to provide the right husbandry for it. A dragon may be one of the easiest to maintain pet reptiles, but it does have specific living requirements that need to be met. If not, its health will suffer and you won’t get to enjoy an active pet that will continue to amaze you and others for the years to come.

To ensure that your pet dragon will be properly maintained, consider the following tips so you can start by providing your pet with a proper home.

Bearded dragon

Enclosure/Cage

A bearded dragon needs just enough space where it can roam around without restrictions and have the right amount of heat and light that it needs to regulate its body temperature. This will also allow the dragon to properly digest and synthesize the nutrients that it gets from the foods that you will offer it.

An appropriately sized aquarium made with a tight-fitting lid will just be the right new habitat for your bearded dragon. Hatchlings may be placed in a 10-15 gallon aquarium. Adults, however, will require at least a 55-60 gallon aquarium. Note, also that it is best to enclosure only one male dragon in an enclosure as male dragons are extremely territorial. An enclosure made of glass (like an aquarium) has proven to be the best bearded dragon cage. It is also easier to clean and makes it easy to see how your dragon is doing inside its enclosure. Glass is also a good insulator which can help the dragon to cool down when necessary and will ensure that your dragon won’t overheat while basking.

When creating a new habitat for your dragon, make sure that it will facilitate easy yet thorough cleaning and sanitation. Do not use wire or mesh wire as it can be hazardous to your pet. It will also be easier for your dragon to escape or get out of the enclosure if you use wire or mesh wire for a cage.

Substrates

The substrate will serve as the lining or flooring for your pet dragon’s cage. Hence, it should be pleasing, easy to clean/sanitized, absorbent, as well as digestible if ever ingested. The best options for a bearded dragon substrate are the following: newspaper, sheets of brown wrapping paper, shredded paper, carpet or linings, as well as the newest trend for a substrate the clay burrowing substrate. It is NOT recommended to use crushed corn cob, kitty litter, cedar shavings, gravel, wood shavings, or anything that had been sprayed on with fertilizers and other hazardous chemicals.

Accessories

Your bearded dragon will enjoy an assortment of landscapes within its new habitat. You may place plants (either live or artificial), pieces of branches, rocks and logs, and hides to allow your pet to have a better-looking ground where it can climb and bask. Just make sure that whatever you place inside the enclosure are well-secured and free of any sharp edges that may injure or wound, or scrape your dragon.

Temperature

As your pet dragon is a cold-blooded animal that has lived in the arid woodland and desert environments, it needs supplemental heat for proper digestion, calcium absorption, and for its overall health. You will need to maintain the temperature inside your dragon’s enclosure at 78-88°F during the day and in the 70s during the night.

Improper temperature setting will make it quite difficult for your pet to properly digest any food offered. As a result, it will be quite easy for your dragon to get sick. You will need to provide a temperature gradient within the enclosure. That means there should be a part of the housing that will remain warm and also a part of the cage that will remain cold. Placing a thermometer at each end of the enclosure will help you properly monitor if there are changes in the temperature settings within your pet’s housing.

Primary heat source

A primary heat source is needed to be installed in your pet’s enclosure to keep the temperature in it within the proper range. Regular incandescent lights can be the best heat sources for your pet’s housing. At night, you will need to set these lights to be turned off. A heating pad, a space heater, room thermostat can all be used as primary heat sources. Just make sure that smoke detectors/fire alarms are installed in the rooms where lights or other artificial heat sources are placed.

Secondary heat source

A secondary heat source will provide additional heat in pars of the enclosure, so you will need to install one that could provide hear for the 25%-30% of the enclosure’s surface. For this purpose, a 30-75 watt incandescent bulb in a ceramic base can be securely mounted far enough where your pet cannot touch it. You may also for one of the available “basking lights” on pet stores as well as online. These lights should be set up to shine down on a particular basking area from outside the cage. Maintain the temperature under the basking area at 90-100°F. If you have several hatchlings in smaller aquariums, you will need to install a heat source with lower wattage to ensure that your pet won’t overheat and will receive just the right amount of heat.

Ultraviolet light

In addition to heat and white light to be provided by artificial heat and light sources, your dragon must also be exposed to natural sunlight for good health. Your pet will need it to make Vitamin D.

When the temperature outside is over 70°F you can bring your pet out to enjoy some sun. Be sure to provide some shade where you will place your dragon while basking in the sun. There are also UVB lights that emit light between 290-320 nanometer range. These light sources usually need to be replaced every 6 months.

Water and Humidity

Your bearded dragon will receive most of his water requirements from his food. However, you will still need to provide fresh drinking water at all times. Place a shallow bowl that won’t be easily tipped over. This will also increase the humidity level within the enclosure.

Proper humidity is necessary for proper and easy shedding. If the humidity level is low you will need to mist your pet with Best Reptile Humidifier several times a week.

Sanitation

An unhygienic environment will allow disease-causing micro-organisms to infest your pet as well as its enclosure. You have to make sure then that your dragon’s housing (and everything in it) are clean. Dispose of any uneaten or leftover foods. Replace the water in your pet’s water bowl regularly. Also, make sure to have everything in the cage thoroughly cleaned and sanitized regularly. Take note that the micro-organisms that your pet may have can easily be transferred to humans, so after handling your pet make sure to wash and sanitize your hands thoroughly. You will also need to invest in good quality gloves that you can use while handling your pet.

If you can provide these specific requirements for your bearded dragon, you can be assured that your pet will live long happy and satisfied.

THE EVIL SPIDER FROM THE SHOWER……

Hello everyone, how are we all on this crappy Monday morning, so depressing when it rains! I don’t mind the cold though.. Last night I went to Bedgebury Forest with the family. It was so nice, went to see an art installation called the ‘Electric Forest’. It was a  beautiful night and I forgot how much I just love to see the stars! Where I live you never see them. I was all wrapped up warm, with my family, drinking mulled wine and roasting marsh mellows on an open fire. How cosy is that?

SO LETS JUST TALK ABOUT MY SHOWER FROM HELL!
I had just got out the shower, and was in my towel moisturising, minding my own business… When I felt an itch on my back, I turned around to look at my back in the mirror and I have a spider crawling up my backkkkk!!!!!!!! I am petrified of spiders, was this karma? I must have done something seriously wrong for ME to get a SPIDER on my BACK. I am so afraid of them… I was on my own and screaming like a girl for about ten minutes, couldn’t stop itching, and I didn’t trust anything… How the hell did this beast get onto my back.
I managed to capture the spider, under a glass, so that my Mum could see when I got home as I knew she would laugh at me! Some of you might think this spider is nothing, but for those of you who are afraid you will think this is a MONSTER OF DOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!! errrghhhh I’m getting all itchy and funny just talking about it!

ANNOUNCING MY EXCITING NEWS!

Hello to the beautiful people reading this blog!

I have some very exciting news for you all. I am thrilled to announce that Teen Nick have a new series that has just been launched in the States as well as Canada. It is called Gigantic and my song ‘Dizzy From The Ride’ is the theme tune!!!!!!!!! Wooohooo! It has ‘Meryl Streeps’ daughter in it, and also has the same producers as ‘Greys Anatomy’ and ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’. I am hugely excited about this and I really hope that it does well and comes over to the UK so we can all watch it.

I have a feeling it will do great because I saw the trailer for it and I know that growing up I used to watch Nick everrrry day and this programme would have been right up my street! It still is to be honest! Haha I am such a big Kid…..

I am also a  feature on the American wesbite for Gigantic on Teen Nick.com. They have run a blog on me with some fun facts about me.  I am dying to have a look, but over in the UK any time you try to access the wesbite it directs you to our UK version!
For now all I can offer you is a little video on ‘You Tube’. It has a picture of the cast and my song playing in the back ground. I am going to try my hardest and get some screen grabs from the American website for you!!

My song on….Jersey Shore

Hey Guys, how are you all doing?
I am not sure whether you all work Jersey Shore, I certainly do and it’s hilarious, GUUUIIDDOOOO! So I was very happy that my song was played in the U.S on Thursday, They played the song ‘Fake’… I wonder why? Hehe, you will have to watch the show and then you will know why they chose that song! I hope it gets played over here … I will be so proud!

I did some recording with Pantha in the studio this week, we came up with a few ideas and hopefully we can do a little collaboration one day in the future!

Had the fish eat at my feet on Wednesday…. Hello foot model :)

My song on….Jersey Shore

It was honestly the weirdest feeling ever! At one stage I had both my feet in two separate tanks which felt totally weird, ticklish, I screamed a few times, once you get used to it though it feels strangely relaxing

Just watched x factor, ONE DIRECTION ARE SOOO CUTE, literally am in love with Harry…. They are all like mini Justin Biebers, loving Cher love how much controversy she has created, she kills it every time, she is one to watch! And Matt the painter, his voice is special!

Much love

Cover Girl <3

Hello everyone :) I thought I would show you  my first cover! A while ago I was told to check out this really cute/cool online magazine called Cellardoor… I absolutely loved it and was thrilled when I was asked to do an interview with them. But amazingly they decided to put me on the cover as well. Thank you so much Cellardoor Mag!

Check out the cover and interview right HERE

I have forgotten what pages the interview is on, but I know you won’t mind flicking through the mag, it’s brilliant. I love all the little doodles all around the pages too :)

I have been very busy in the studio working with lotsa lotsa peeeeps, scary but fun at the same time! I recored a song with Darren and Tunde from Future Cut Productions. It was called ‘I can’t hate you’ and I LOOOVEEE IT SOOO MUCHHH! It is such a tune and got me all excited and inspired. :)
I also met up with Jules Gallager and did a writing session with him,he had 9 dogs that surrounded me and barked like crazy as I arrived. I can imagine a lot of people finding this hilarious but it was SCARY! I love dogs, but not 9 of them at once, petrified!

I started writing a genius song with Jamie Norton and Ben Mark. Lovely guys! I am going back with them soon to finish what we started but I am really excited about that. Coming up in the week I am writing with good olddd Lauuby, the one and onlyyyyy! And also meeting Grant Black to have a little go at writing a song together for the first time this week too. So I am a busy girl, which I like a lot!

I also want to take this opportunity to tell you that I am officially the soppiest person on the earth. I realised last night as I cried at the most pathetic things on tele that I am a ‘blubber’. To confirm this, I was watching Loose Woman today (while doing the ironing, soOOO not Rock and Roll!) when the topic of crying came up. They were asking do people cry more with age? I must be frigging 50 inside then because I cry as much if not more than most of those Loose Women! HELP ME! I cry at everything! I even had to hold back the tears the other day at the cinema. This kid had lied about his age (saying he was 15) and got caught out and all his friends didn’t. He got left behind and had to get his money back. The STUPID man behind the counter had a go at him and his little face made me wanna cry. He was trying to look like he wasn’t upset but you knew he was gutted. OOOH I am getting all upset thinking about it, seriously, couldn’t they have just made an exception? Be a bit more laid back, it was a weekend and this poor boy got left behinnnndd, booohoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you have a good week, I am off to Gourmet Burger Kitchen tonight with some friends and I have never been before.

Loadsa blubbery and soppy love. From ME x x x
