He is not on bark, that was a photoshoot setup on a table :) . He is on paper towels. I will send her a message, thank you!

Thank you for the reply. I have never put him in deep water nor seen water get near his ear. He has a 75w incandescent bulb - same as all of my others in a 40g. He only has his food dish and basking rock. The rock is foam and coated (like many of those foam backgrounds same idea). All my others...

I am exhausted of ideas and I want to do everything I can for this boy. I am terrified I am going to lose him. Some history, Leo is a citrus (though he went very orange) tiger leatherback about a year old and was purchased last February as a baby from his breeder. He has been housed in a tank...

The UVB is 6"-7" from the basking spot. I give a general distance as it is mobile when I clean. It goes back in the same spot, but I am sure it is not precisely the same spot every time. The basking bulb (normal soft white 75w raised on an arm) is in the sam general area. The best I can describe...

I just bought one as I have another little one coming in next week. I will throw that one in and get another, since I have a few days before the other beardie gets here anyway.

The bulb is 2 1/2 months old - hence my confusion. It is by no means anywhere near the time it should be changed. It is the long fluorescent tube, not the compact. I use paper towels for substrate.

I have a young red female that has been recently displaying issues that I would typically associate with improper UVB. I bought her end of February along with a leatherback male about the same age. They both have identical setups. Basking spot of 100-105, cool end at 80. UVB is Reptisun 10.0...

I have a rescue beardie (named Spike) that came to me a little under two months ago. He was severely dehydrated, malnourished, underweight and has a mild-moderate case of MBD. He was kept on cali-sand, no UVB, and improper heat. I took him to the vet, he was parasite free, confirmed the MBD of...

Tracie, thank you so much! I have spent the last couple hour researching stuff on what to do for him. I got him late last night and did not feed him last night, only soaked and let him drink. I did not want to give him anything to eat when I knew he was going to rest and would possibly not...

Last night I got a call from a friend who could not longer care for her 5-year-old bearded dragon and was worried about him. She had been telling me she had trouble getting him to eat and while I had never seen him, I gave her the only things I knew of care to help her. She said he got better...

Thank you for your replies. It appears I will be ordering some more dubai to get him something more palatable and keep him from eating down the colony. I am debating getting something else too just in case. Silkworms are super pricey though phoenix worms look great (their extra calcium looks...

I (rather my boyfriend and I) have a couple of beardies. The first one (Apollo) was acquired late July the other this past Saturday (Athena). The older male is about 17" (grown like a weed from the baby we got him as). He has been downing crickets like candy along with his salad. We started...
