So my beardy Rhodus seems to be trying to brumate. She has been denying her dubia roaches for a few weeks, and will only eat hornworms (which is only once in a while) Other than that, she tries to sleep under her hide almost all day. I thought maybe she was just tired of roaches but maybe it...

So I have had Helios, for about 9 days now. He is approximately 11 weeks old. I noticed he was getting a little bit darker in color than when I first got him. The orange/red colors on him have only gotten slightly darker, but some of the very, very light gray stripes he had going on, are...

So recently I took it upon myself to do as much research I could on UVB bulbs. And I have found some pretty interesting information. Here are the UVB outputs I have found with many various bulbs. These were done WITHOUT a screen top. So if you are placing these on a screen/mesh top, divide...

Well, I was finally able to pick up Helios on Friday night. And his enclosure is just about done. I have some things I am going to add still. Probably improve the hides a little bit. But without further ado here he is! He's about 10-11 weeks old. And he's an Italian leatherback x hypo...

So I finally got my dragon and yesterday his enclosure is finished. It's a 75g long (4ft x 1.5 ft). At night, the ambient temp in the room is 72-75. However I noticed that the slate tile he is on, is actually reading like 62-65 only. I have a temp gun to check temperatures. Any...

I have read many times that people use slate tile for their enclosures. I went out and got some yesterday and I washed it off (with just water) and am letting it dry out. If you know what slate tile is, you know that it kind of has a powdery "residue" to it. It seems to go away after it was...

I am curious because I had been paying "premium" monies for the 10.0's at local shops ($35+ depending on size). I was told of this website - http://www.petmountain.com/product/reptile-fluorescent-bulbs/11442-504983/zoo-med-reptisun-10-0-uvb-bulb.html And their prices are amazing! Are they...

So I have been recently looking around, trying to get an explanation on what makes a sandfire a sandfire and googling for 45minutes didn't help. What do I look for when looking for "true" sandfires? I am possibly getting a supposed sandfire tomorrow (multiple to choose from) and am curious as...

Well I should be acquiring a bearded dragon on friday should things go as planned. Tank is set up (75g long), except I am not sure what I want to use as the substrate. I'm not using sand or anything they can possibly eat. But I have been tossing around using slate tile since you can get...

So I have read a few posts about some of the currently available UVB lighting. But I don't see a post that has all of the outputs listed. http://www.uvguide.co.uk/mercuryvapourlamps.htm - is currently unavailable since they are doing testing and when I last looked, they didn't provide readings...

So recently I have looked into getting into bearded dragons. I am not new to reptiles and currently own 2 green basilisk and 2 leopard tortoises. But I have always wanted a bearded dragon or 2. So I have mainly been "eye shopping" around and am not really in a rush. I know the care for them...
