For those of you that have multiple beardies and are afraid of letting an infectious one out for fear of your other reptiles contracting the illness I have a suggestion for you. You can get some hospital blue pads at the drugstore, I call them chucks and put them in window sills, on furniture, your bed, the floor and let your ill beardie enjoy his out of tank time. These pads have a plastic liner on the bottom and an absorbent top layer and used to keep infectious fluids off bedding and stuff in hospitals. When you put your beardie back in its tank, roll the pads up and put them in a small grocery sack or other small garbage bag, tie it up and toss it out. If you find that blue pads are to expensive or you cant find them, then puppy wee wee pads will do the same thing. No contamination to furniture, bedding, window sills cause the plastic liner on the bottom will not let anything pass through it. This will cut down on cleaning and will make things safer for your non sick beardies to be out. These could also be used in the tank for beardies that have parasites, just lay them over the flooring/substrate, they get soiled, nothing leaks through, roll them and toss them out!

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. 😔
