Mine is named Hope. He had a brother that went to another home when he was old enough, and I had a really hard time naming him. I ended up naming him Rumpelstiltskin because I felt like I was always trying to guess what his real name ought to be.

Oh, I think I remember a couple other lights being linked with that. I didn't realize the Reptiglos were like that too. :? What are the issues with Neodynium? I've never heard about that. Will it say it on the box or is it something you just have to know? What lights do/do not have it?

Good to see the Reptisun 10.0s are still good, that's what I'm using right now. What's the problem with the Reptiglo 10.0, though? Does is just not put out enough UVB, or is there something else wrong with it?

I've been off this forum for quite a while (years), and was wondering how the UVB lighting scene is going. What are the really good bulbs right now? Last I checked, the best were the Reptisun 10.0, the Arcadia D3 + 12%, and Reptiglo 10.0 for flourescents. And for Mercury Vapor Bulbs the best...

I finally found the Brewer's Yeast today, at the ninth place I'd looked - it ended up being at a Vitamin Store. Not even the health food stores around here carry it. I've just dusted it on his salad. Hopefully he eats it. I got an unflavored kind, I tasted it myself and it doesn't really...

He gets Herptivite multivitamin, and Repcal. There is nothing between the UVB light and him, I have it mounted inside of his terrarium. I'll try the Brewer's Yeast in the morning.

That Brewer's Yeast definitely sounds like its worth a try. A few questions: Can I get any brewers yeast, or is there a particular brand I should be looking for? Where would I get it? How much should I dust on the salad? How many days should I do it? How long did it take before you saw...

When my Bearded Dragon, Hope, woke up from brumation this spring he had brief twitches all over his body almost constantly. I figured since he wasn't basking during brumation he could have developed a calcium deficiency, so I replaced his UVB bulb early and gave him plenty of sunlight...

The wriggling and credit card trick had no effect, but when I gave up and just put the new, itty bitty syringe towards his mouth with the electrolyte solution in it he decided to see what it was, and opened his mouth to try to lick the syringe - the way they do when they are exploring new...

His eating has been fine, especially with crickets. I just got back from the compound pharmacy to pick up the metranodizale, and they had two very small syringes included, so I'm going to try and use those with the wiggling technique.

My Beardie Hope is sick. After a vet visit, a full blood panel, a fecal smear, and a fecal float we've found his electrolytes are low and he has parasites. There are two medicines I have to administer by force feeding, the first is an electrolyte solution that I just need to give him today and...

Will do. This is just occurred to me: I leave Hope in his enclosure when he brumates. His lights go on and off like usual, in case he wakes up and feels like basking, and also because he gets annoyed when they are off. Usually the house gets really cold at night in winter, like in the 50's...

Hope has been having some muscle twitches since he woke up form brumation about a month ago. Small ones all over his body. They have been getting much better as time has gone on, but he still has them occasionally. I took him to the vet for a full blood panel and exam, and his calcium levels...

He's eating crickets, running around, went to the bathroom, ate salad, and is basking, so I think he's up for real this time! Today he was showing his finest colors and was eager to get out of his cage for some exercise. And he's off! He even tackled the stairs. However, once I'd run up...

We've had the coldest winter in years here, and for the first time my little buddy Hope went into a full brumation. He slept...and slept...and slept. He's been asleep for months! He woke up for about a day in January, but that's about it. But finally three days ago he got up and started...
