My son got a baby beardie a while back and we had him in an old 10 gallon tank, obviously he outgrew it. I did some (not enough apparently) research, mostly on this site about building a viv for him. It's 4' x 3' x 2', nice size for him to run around in, three levels, etc. I used plywood for most of it, flooring is slate tile that is grouted. Unfortunately, I used some cedar that was laying around from rebuilding our decks this last fall as supports around the edges. I didn't know until I had it built that cedar is bad for beardies. However, I did coat the whole thing in polyurethane. We waited about a week before putting him in there. He was quite happy until I came home last night and his saw that his eyes were a little puffy and he was a little lethargic. A few questions. 1) Do I need to replace the cedar supports with some other types of wood? 2) Or, do I just need to let the polyurethane cure longer? I think it started off-gassing fumes once we added the heat. 3) Would leaving the heat lamp on help the polyurethane cure faster and prevent more off-gassing? TIA

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
