I come with a heavy heart to announce the passing of Lance. Sadly he passed away this evening.
I truley believe he is enjoying himself at the bridge. Rest in peace my first scaley friend. You will be forever in my heart.
Lance is in a homemade wooden viv. Measures 4x2x2 with a month old Powersun MVB bulb. He has slate tile for substrate. Hot side is 102 and cool side 76 but has variances throughout his home. Taken with temp gun.
When he ate, calcium mixed in his food 3-4 times a week ans vitamins 2 times a...
He actually ate this morning!! Maybe there's still a little life left in him. :blob8:
He really scared me last night though. He was having multiple fits in his viv last night. I stayed up until 2am with him until I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. It was really strange having him so...
We have had Lance for over 5 years. We purchased him from someone off Kijiji and they said he was about 2 1/2. So that makes him about 7-8 years old.
A little history: shortly after getting him we found this wonderful site and changed everything. The lighting, substrate, housed him seperately...
Don't rush into anything. Sometimes it takes a Beardie awhile to come out of brumation. They will eat when they are hungry and awake enough. My Sly took a couple weeks to be fully functioning enough to want to eat. His appetite is great all because we allowed him to go through the natural...
What are the ingrediants in them?
I am quite experienced with baby food feeding as we must do it every other day and know what to give them without harming them.
We have a dilemma as to new lighting.
Our local stores do not carry ReptiSun bulbs. They no longer carry the MegaRay bulbs either. Which is good because they would burn out on us within a month of using the megaraya.
The stores around here sell either SolarGlo mvb bulbs or ReptiGlo bulbs...
One thing I noticed that others may have not is the feeding of spinach. Spinach binds the calcium so I would discontinue feeding him spinach from now on.
It's probably not the problem but lets eliminate it completely to his diet from now on.
That's awesome!!!
Thanks Tom.
That's the day we leave to drive back home so what's a few extra hours staying to go to Repticon?
Sweeeeeeeeeet!!! :blob5: :blob8:
My b/f and I are heading to Myrtle Beach for a week in September and would like to do some shopping for Beardie supplies.
Does anyone know of any good reptile stores or pet stores that would carry Repti-Suns and supplies?
I'd like to get a list of different places to visit before we go so we...
There's a few different movies with Beardies in them.
I know that new Fockers movies has one in it.
My son told me yesterday that the Zoo Keeper movie has a couple in it too. His Aunt took him last night and he was super stoked about seeing beardies!
I battled a small mite problem with one of my girls for 6 months. I bathed her daily in betadine baths and cleaned her enclosure with bleach daily as well. It didn`t work. In the 5th month I buckled and went to the pet store for some Mite Spray. I took her tank and sprayed it down one night...
