Thank you for the response! We just took her back from the vet and I don't think we're out of the woods yet... posted an update here: viewtopic.php?f=45&t=244225 Thanks again, I appreciate it.

Hey everyone, ~8 year old Chloe has refused food for the past 2+ months, and while she looked a lot like she was in brumation, it's been longer than usual and her recent wobbling behavior convinced me to take her to the vet. We're in a small town and only have one vet who looks at reptiles...

Hi all, My 7-8 year-old beardie Chloe hasn't been eating for the past few months, though her behavior and overall appearance is consistent with brumation -- she sleeps or lies around most of the day and refuses food, yet she doesn't appear to be losing weight. Her coloration is still bright...

Thanks for your reply! Her beard is normal colored while she's lying around, and she did eventually climb back on to her basking spot this afternoon. Big relief for me. I suppose her particular brumation pattern may be divided into short but frequent spurts around this time of year? I'll monitor...

Hi all! I'm a bit concerned about one of my two dragons, Chloe. She's about five and a half years old now. It's not unusual to find her lying on the cool side of the tank every so often (she seems to split her time evenly between the basking spot and the dark side), but lately she's been lying...

Hi Deb, Thank you for your quick response. Just to clear things up, the questions I answered regarding lighting were for the older beardie I just got (Chloe, 14 months, about 18 inches), while the issue with the runny stool was my younger one that I've had for a longer amount of time (Linnaeus...

Thank you both for responding. After using a probe, I found that the basking spot was at 106F (a little over?), the hot end is at 94F and the cool end is at 80F. She is still hanging around under the basking light in the hot end, and doesn't seem eager to escape to the cool end. I'm using a...

Just acquired a great looking 14 month old yellow citrus. She is very mild mannered. I know that new beardies take some time to get used to their environment. She is currently housed in a large 40 gallon tank with paper towels and a large piece of driftwood. She seems a little uncomfortable...

Hi Brandon, Linnaeus is housed in a 40 gallon tank, with a 75W basking light and a ReptiSun 10.0. The lights are all the right distance away from his basking spot. I'm now fairly certain that Linnaeus is shedding, maybe explaining his behavior(?)

My beardie usually stands with his body lifted above the ground, (which, as I've read, is normal and a clue to a healthy animal) but today he's been lying around with his belly touching the floor. He will stand around for a while, then lower himself close to the ground. He seemed normal and...

I've been feeding crickets to Linnaeus for a while, but only now am I having problems. I dread going to the cricket tank every time I feed him. The place is carnage--half of the crickets are dead, with bodies being fed on by their compatriots, dried exoskeletons clinging to the egg cartons, and...

Totally agree. Wal Mart also has very inexpensive fixtures for around $7. Fit my ReptiSun 10.0 perfectly.
