Thank you so much for your reply. I bought her bulb this January so in June I will look into the t5. I was trying to find out how to mount her fixture into her tank, but it doesn't have a diffuser on it and I didn't want her to get her tongue in there!!! And I'll hold off on the supers and...

Lucy won't eat any commercial food or dead insects she's spoiled haha

How old is he? Assuming he is an adult... I've noticed sometimes it takes a while for mine to shed especially a full body shed. I wouldn't worry about him not eating sometimes Lucy won't eat for days and he IS shedding. Also he could have eaten a piece of gravel and it's stuck in there. I'd...

I've had Lucy for 5 years when she was a year old and she's always been fun, happy, and healthy until about January she started showing signs of MBD. I took her to a vet and the vet diagnosed her with early signs of MBD said she was a healthy wait and suggested I dust her food everyday...

I have no idea how much she weighs... I can buy a gram scale tomorrow. She's about the same size as the beardie in the picture above if that helps any. Maybe a little chubbier.

I had a ceramic heat bulb before and it was WAY too hot. I will get one when I get paid in a few days, though. My main concern is alleviating her discomfort until her medicine comes tomorrow. Her coughing kept both of us up all night and I feel like I have a sick baby on my hands and don't know...

Oh yeah I forgot to mention she has balls. But I just found out a few months ago and really the whole gender issue isn't important to me. She knows her name and stuff and I'm not confusing her. I have been sleeping with an ice pack to keep her warm. How do I administer the natural supplements...

Hi! I left my dad to take care of Lucy for 3 days and I'm afraid she got too cold due to his neglect. When I got home, she hopped off her log very slowly and bobbed her head very slowly to greet me. I turned her lights on as they were off when I got there turned the heat in my apartment up to...

NO NO NO Any lettuce can give most animals the "poops", and mealworms have hard exoskeletons that can be difficult to digest. I understand that sometimes it's difficult to offer a "perfect" diet, and in no way, shape, or form do I think Lucy has the perfect diet. However, variety is key. A...

I got Lucy when she was a year old and she was named/sexed by her previous owner. She seems too small to be a male and has the little bumps, but she is a little territorial and HATES when I bring men home. She has a few other "male" behaviors. All in all I decided if someone guaranteed me she...

First off, my beardie didn't seem to sleep very well when I had a red heat light (freaked her out a bit too), and considering you probably don't watch yours sleep, I would go with an alternative option such as a ceramic heat emitter since we all know how cold schools can be. I can't tell you...

Thanks for the reply!!! Never thought about a respiratory infection. I'll have to look more into that. Any links to recommend? :study: I just had the door open one day after my shower and she wandered in there during her daily exploration of the house and stayed in there. I always keep...

Hi! Lucy (6 yr old) absolutely HATES water/baths. She even gets bratty when I drip warm water on her head or back. I hate to force her into anything that stresses her out. I feed her baby food for extra moisture. I keep a humidifier going all the time in my apartment (for the both of us)...

Hi! Congratz on your new family member! :blob5: Substrate is a highly debated topic. Although it's not recommended and I'm changing soon, I've used the crushed walnut stuff from Petco with Lucy for years. For a baby I wouldn't recommend ANY loose substrate because they can't digest it, but...

Hi! As for names, I can't help with that. Maybe wait a few weeks to get to know him! What kind of lighting are you using? Sometimes Lucy closes her eyes when she gets sleepy or is just relaxing. However, recently I've noticed when she's basking she'll close one eye or both eyes in a less...
