you should change the bulb at least once a year just like the uvb fluorescent bulbs or if you notice a significant reduction in heat or light. i actually change my uvbs every 6 - 8 months just to be on the safe side. the heat bulbs i change when they either go out or i feel a change in the heat...

That looks awesome ed nice job. Ill post some pics of mine when its done. cheers!!!

He looks normal now with no signs of that previous problem. No loss of weight. Ill keep you posted.thanx .

No balance issues which i find weird but it was only the one day. Possibly water in the ear from his baths? Just a guess. He does splash around quite a bit. The cool end of his enclosure is about 75 degrees. I put a hide for him in when i first got him for a year or so but he didn't seem to want...

No real repti vets in my area. Had the fecal done by a mail in fecal test facility so it took some time getting it back. Also because he is not eating very much i had to wait to get a sample.

Well good news, i had the fecal done and the results are negative for any parasites. He is still eating next to nothing but not losing any weight. Ive had him out a few times to run around on the basement floor and the equilibrium thing hasn't manifested itself? I have noticed he will go to a...

Thanx ed707 for the info. My guy doesn't go in his home anyway always goes in his bath but i think your right in the thought that the bottom and the walls to coat is a good idea. Any spilled water will stain and blacken the wood. Im gonna start the new enclosure in a week or so if i can ever get...

Just waiting on a fecal to come back. He actually seems better since i posted this but somethings definitely wrong maybe early signs of mbd or inner ear thing. He did have a fall off his perch so i am hoping he didn't break anything may have to get an x- ray too. Thanx for your concern and help...

I'm about 30 kilometers from guelph. I will check it out. Thanx again.

Well drache i went down to see my dragon today and he fell off his perch which i thought was weird. So i put him on the ground to run around as i usually do and he looked like he was drunk. His body started to roll to one side and he would flip around. When he walks he staggers back and forth...

Hey guys. Gonna start my new project and build a new house for my 4 year old buddy as i have him in a 55 gallon exo terra tank and he needs more room as he has out grown this tank big time. I built one years ago for a rankins dragon, which for those of you who don't know, are a dwarf species of...

Sounds and looks like a good set up. 30 crickets a day is probably too many though i would probably give him 10-12 and veggies and greens if he wants them and the crickets shouldn't be any bigger than the space between his eyes. Make sure you dust the crickets 3 times a week in fact i would only...

He should be ok for one night as dragons can tolerate mid 60 temps. Maybe pickup a good heating pad if it ever happens again slide it under where he sleeps at night. That will keep him toasty.

I built one a while back pretty much the same size and used fir plywood for the walls and top and back i think 5/8 inch thick. Used screws to put it together and siliconed around all the edges with kitchen and bath silicone. It shouldn't be a problem when its cured. I also used the plastic u...

The reptisun is 12" from his perch. I'm in ontario canada. I'm just wondering if its the lack of supplement in his food as like i said he hasn't been eating very much so he is not getting the calcium and minerals that he needs. He never was a good veggie/ green eater and i know they take to this...
