Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingPerhaps these is a silly question, but what volume constitutes a dusting?
When I originally picked up our beardie Spyro I was told by the pet shop pinch of Caci dust or Vits into the crickets tub (tub 50 - 100 Crickets) give it a shake and feed. but in that tub is also the bug grub, it does not seem a very efficient way of dusting, would there even be enough on the crickets from just a pinch?! Iwould love to know how others apply there "dustings" Dragon: Spyro (sub adult)

Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingI know that's a good question.

Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingHello! Great article!!!
Just a question. If I have the powersun uv mercury vapor heat bulb, should I be dusting with a calcium powder that has D3? I’ve been dusting with this every feeding. I don’t want to poison him.
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingWhat distance is your powersun to the basking site? Probably still best to use calc + d3 IMO.
-Brandon Follow along with all my beardies. Check out my thread here!: Claud's Crew
P.S. We have lots of pictures ![]() Click here if you use a Sunblaster fixture - IMPORTANT
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingDistance of the bulb is important as Claudius mentioned. I would still only lightly use the cal. w/D3 1-2 X a week and the plain calcium 2 X a week.
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingThe basking bulb is about 21 inches from his basking rock. I also have a reptisun 10.0 uvb tube light in that area too.
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingThat's pretty far away, is it a 100 or 160 watts ? The 100 can be as close as 13", the 160 about 16" away. Is the Reptisun tube a t8 or t5 ? Can you mount it at least 12-13" away ?
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingIt’s the 160 watts. It gets pretty hot in his basking spot, sometimes up to 109. I’m getting a new fixture and my husband is going to have to mount the uvb tube closer. It’s an aquarium tank with glass all around so it’s difficult to put the tube light closer. I currently have it sitting on the rim of the tank.

Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingOh, O.K. So you'll be getting a new set up in the future ? The way you have it now should be fine until then. How big is your dragon BTW ?
