I think my problem might be UVB. She has a reptisun 10.0 tube that is about 4 months old but I think the main problem is that she was recently moved into a Zilla 40 gallon and the scrren top is much denser than her old one and the distance between her and her light has become greater. I moved...

My beardie is about 6 months old. She is 16 inches and looks very well in apperance. She had been eating around 75 crickets a day and greens but within the past couple of weeks she has slown down considerabley, she is now eating maybe twenty crickets a day and sleeps all the time. I always...

The eye damage is probaly caused by the coil light. You should remove it right away. The coil lights have even been known to kill baby beardies. improper uvb will also play a mayjor role in the fact that your bd is undersized. You need to get a reptisun 10.0 flouresent tube like said before...

Nevermind, Ill find my info elsewhere. Everyone stop posting on this subject. Apparently all that needs to be said has already been said. I dont want to clog up the boards anymore. BTW I think you can feed crickets to your beardie but you better check, maybe someones asked it before and you...

Im sorry, let me rephrase that, Any thoughts about SAND welcome. Im not trying to start a fight but people have the right to post whatever they want to. I just dont like it when someone acts like they are the king of the post and must have a say in what can and cannot be talked about anymore...

Well clearly people still want to talk about it so why is it such a big problem for you. If you dont like the post why do you take the time to reply to them. I thought this website was supposed to be informational, and yes I could have searched other post and found it but I wanted a personal...

I've never really used an incubator so I dont know he answer to that question. Any one with a little more expierence in that area please help out.

Are you reading the temo in the incubator with those dial themometers, if so your tamos could be off by alot. You need to get a themometer with a probe on the end or even better a temp gun if you have the money. You can get a Accurite from walmart for 12$. It also has a Hydrometer built in.

Where are the grasshoppers coming from? If they are wild caught stop feeding them, WC feeders can have pesticides or other toxins in their system that can harm your BD. You could try wax worms to try to get him a little nutrition, but just a few as they are very fatty. There are other feeder...

Thats not normal, can you go over your set up, be sure to include uvb used, temps, cage size, substrate and everything else you can think of.

I realize that most people shun sand at all ages, especially with young bearded dragons, but I was just wondering if there is any real chance of an adult bearded dragon being harmed if proper sand was used. Does anyone have any stories about bad or good expierences with sand. What is the...

It sounds to me like a definite impaction. The lump and back limb imobility are classic signs, along with the fact that he has not pooped, which almost seals the deal. sorry to say theres not much you can do other than try to give him a warm bath and gently massage his stomach to try to get...

let us know how things turn out!

Your dial themometer is almost probaly off. I dont know where you from but I got a accurite themometer from walmart for 12 dollars. If you cant find one you can get a temp gun online. Its good you are calling a vet, please let us know what they say. ps has he ate any crickets yet?

What kind of themometer inside the tank? If it is a stick one or one with a dial it is probally giving you inaccurite readings. your temps may be too low and causing digestion problems causing it not to eat. You will need to give it proper uvb also, I cant remember what you said you had but...
