Took your advice and I found a guy selling a 40 gallon breeder that comes with desert background, large basking tree branch, insect keeper, temp gauges, overhead lights(which I have already) food/water dishes for $80.

he was eating last week and just wouldn't last night. I forget how long they are supposed to live but he is just about to turn 14 years old.
When I picked her up from a show she was pretty docile but by the time I got her home she was super pissed. She would strike anytime somebody walked by the tank. One day I just let her bite me like ten times in a row and I think she got the message and hasn't bit me since. She would **** every time I would pick her up after that but stopped doing that too eventually. She's agressive in the cage until I give her a light poke with the snake hook then she's ok. I wouldn't go waving my hand in her face but she's pretty relaxed in my hands.
I remember way back when I asked you on a suggestion for housing for her. Can't remember what you said. Getting sick of the heavy ass tank she's in right now it's a pain to clean. She's about 5-6ft long if that helps.

These are kinda heavy but good cages.

Otherwise Vision cages are plastic and not that heavy

I was thinking of getting one of these animal plastics pvc cages. They have one specially designed for carpets apparently but idk if I want that size. Its 36x24x15 tall. I was thinking about getting a 48x24x12 instead. I know it'll be shorter in height but I don't really think they need to climb, just will if they can.

Little late posting, but here is our buddies new habitat I got. I got everything pictured for $80. I added the sand style linoleum tile.

He's doing good so far. Been eating mostly crickets and ***** roaches mixed with some superworms. Keeping my eye on his bowls to make sure the superworms are digesting ok. So far no issues. He loves his lettuce and veggies.
Working on getting him used to being handled. He's still kinda skiddish, but he's getting better. He will let me and my daughter pet his head when I hold him. I can tell he gets anxious however.

Are you using supplements too? For younger beardeds I have found good success
Multi w/D3 + Calcium one day, then just pure Calcium (without D3) the next day.

misread your post
Thought you said doing calcium with D3 every day. But you do it every other day.
Well yes then all you need to do is get pure calcium to add inbetween.

I would love a Woma or a dwarf retic, maybe even some kind of boa. So many awesome options. Ball pythons have the coolest color morphs but I feel like they just hide so much.

Here is my blue tongue Rocco

Pics don't do him justice and I know it's a him, he dropped sperm plugs.
Blue tongues are like beardeds only...well, they get bigger, they're live reptile puppy dogs imo. They're demeanor is close to a bearded. But their diet gets easier. They do eat insects, but they need fruit, meat and vegetables too.
Mine I feed 2-4x weekly. His basic meal consists of a mix of: Beef dog food, egg with the shell crushed up, berries, banana and greens, and sometimes I add in a treat of canned snail or raw chicken liver!

I keep him in a 75 gallon (48x18 floor space). FOr lighting they need a strong basking heat lamp. UVB is up for debate, some say they benefit directly from UVB, but I firmly believe they can get by on just the D3 supplement in their diet. I never use UVB on my unlike my beardeds which get both heat and UVB
4 feet enclosure
heat lamp
loose substrate (I used aspen or carefresh, but many swear by Cypress mulch and/or orchid bark)
They also need a large water dish they are able to climb and soak in.
UVB light (optional IMHO)

UVB is up for debate, some say they benefit directly from UVB, but I firmly believe they can get by on just the D3 supplement in their diet. I never use UVB on my unlike my beardeds which get both heat and UVB
4 feet enclosure
heat lamp
loose substrate (I used aspen or carefresh, but many swear by Cypress mulch and/or orchid bark)
They also need a large water dish they are able to climb and soak in.
UVB light (optional IMHO)

Jugger if you request one, if they're anything like my only local trusted pet shop then chances are they would order it from the same online site that you can and they'd charge more because they demand to make something off it.
Sites I have ordered reptiles form include:
underground reptiles
lll reptiles
xyz reptiles
Underground is amazing, the owner and his staff and I are pretty tight too because they all own boxers. They ship them healthy, arrive safely, and they always have a staff member call you to check on you no matter how small or big the purchase is. They call to make sure they arrive healthy and that all is in order. They will often include a piece of paper with your pet telling you the exact date it was born and what sex it is (if able to sex them at the point you ordered). I cannot recommend Underground enough, but you can shop around and trust those retailers above.
rah
Yes I had one she was a kunt. Next to my veiled chameleon I had, she was the worst reptile I'll ever own. I will likely not own again, and I definitely won't ever get another chameleon.
