other than being inactive in general, he seems pretty healthy, he's still got a healthy level of fat in his tail, he's not showing any signs of impaction or neurological/physical disorders starvation or dehydration... no twitching, no lumps in his back/belly, he still has a strong grip, his...

first bulb seemed to be perfectly fine... it lasted 6 months, it was still working fine, my lizard was really healthy, eating well, active etc. but I replaced it just for safety purposes (they say it doesn't emit much UVB after 6+ months, even if the bulbs still producing visible light) I got...

Your problem sounds like Metabolic Bone Disease (not impaction) http://hubpages.com/hub/Metabolic_Bone_Disease Causes: Improper lighting, BD needs UVB light, which needs to be changed aprox every 6 months or when he starts trying to get closer and closer to it, neglecting his basking spot...

He's fine, if he's brumating, he's fasting, if he's fasting logically - he's not going to poop You don't need to entirely starve yourself in order to fast, you just need to eat less calories than your body burns in energy <- fasting Its a good idea to keep bathing him to make sure he doesn't...

That is a good question? post pictures of your dragon as well as his poop, it should look something like this: tell us what you're feeding him and his age they poop and pee at the same time the brown part would be feces, and the white tip would be the urine (urate) generally speaking, a...

Well, I can feed him 50 crickets a day for the rest of his life, but he doesn't really seem to like to eat them all the time, I think I'm going to take a whack at raising some silkworms, buying 1,000 eggs and seeing if I can't farm them myself

I have a problem letting him roam free though... he just tries to run and hide, and fall asleep... is that just a stage they go through?

*WARNING* This post contains more information about lizard poop than you will ever desire to know 1) Runny Urate (goopy white around it) Possibly over-hydration, could also be a sign of illness if accompanied by fatigue and weight loss, though its mostly caused by over-hydration 2) Yellow...

My Dragon doesn't get much activity (aside from running around in circles in his viv) I feel like -most of the time-, he's just as they say 'a piece of furniture' I do take him out to watch the occasional movie with me, he's easy to handle and I give him baths daily But how long can he stay...

I've got phoenix worms before, and I'm sure they're nutritious... but they just didn't seem cost-effective (he could easily eat two cups in one meal and still have a couple crickets to boot, they're hardly a snack) I've been looking at horn worms (great lakes horn worms) $10 for 12 horn worms...

you may be right, it was just an approximation, I didn't actually build it, it was made for me as a christmas gift

The room is small, and the viv is big - there's a lot of junk in that room, I couldn't really get a full picture of the thing :p because its about 2x2.5x5.5 inside a 8x8x12 room the very 1st picture shows almost the entire viv (I couldn't get one from any farther back)

His name's actually Apollo

1: Mah viv, its an old dressor convert, saw someone else do it online, thought it was a cool idea WTF was that flash!?! I see you looking at me! Hanging out after an exciting bath The 'set up' 24" reptisun 10.0 - heat wave lamp rated for a 40gal tank (on the other side of the viv is a...

the substrate was not the direct cause of the impaction, the direct cause of the impaction was his unwillingness to shed a turd onto his new substrate he wouldn't poop, because he didn't want to poop on his new bedding, it was entirely impaction-safe from an edible point of view (IE: he could...
