Hello, New here! So I got a baby bearded dragon 8/6..we currently have it in a 10gal until we get a new lid for our 40gal. When we first got it, it did so well eating and what not. A few days ago our Beardie stopped eating an much and has been looking a bit lethargic. I gave him a little bath and he was licking the water. Last night he ate 3 crickets, before that he didn't want to eat. And today he hasn't wanted to eat. It has been pooping well. What could be wrong?? Help...nervous mama!!

Hi. What lights are you using? Brands? Temps? How you take them? What kind of like are you waiting for?

We have the zoo med double dome uvb/heat lamp. Our 40 gal was given to us with no lid, so we have to order online since none of our local stores has it in stock. Atm it says it's 95 in the tank.

More than likely it's the uvb you are using. Coil/compact cause lethargy,appetite and she issues. You want a reptisun10.0 long tube t5. And that can go on top of the screen and the uvb won't be blocked out as much with the coil/compact.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
