I have a 23 week old bearded dragon who is about 9-10 inches long from head to tail. I got him when he was 18 weeks old he is currently shedding now and this is the first time he's done it since I got him. He seems fine but he's shedding in "patches" first was his back legs and tail, then a week...

ah true. well if i get a CHE is it safe to put on top of the screen lid and inside a ceramic clamp light fixture? or should it be in the tank itself?

ok great thanks. i picked up 24 med size crickets after work today i fed 8-10 to him (dusted with calcium) and he ate them all. after that he didnt seem to want anymore. how old or big does the beardie have to be to eat silkworms and superworms? my guy is 18 weeks and about 7-8 inches long.

or i was thinking instead of getting a CHE could i get a low mabye 40 watt basking light and out it on the opposite end (cool side) of the tank? just to bring the temps up a wee bit. what do you think?

yeh i just checked the temp again and the basking spot seems to be around 110 and 115 cool side is around 74 . i was at the pet store an dthey told me a can't have a CHE bulb inside one one the zoomeds clamp lamps. siad it needs to be in an open cage type fixture?

Ok so I just got my 18 week old beardie and I have some questions about feeding. I'm feeding it some choped up collard greens at the moment but I'm wondering should I mix in some other stuff? Such as pieces of turnip,apple,kale, etc... Also should I just make one dish up of veggies and leave it...

I recently got my 75 gal tank all setup for my 18 week old beardie. I have a 100 watt basking light and a 36" reptisun 10.0 fluorescent light. The temp and the warm side is around 80 and the cool side 70-75 imy house is a little on the cooler side this time of year. So I'm thinking of heating a...

I'm having the exact same problem. I thinking of using a CHE or getting one of those zoomed heating pad and placing it under the tank to heat up the tile/substrate

Lol yeh burning the house down is the last thing I wanna do! I got one more idea and place to check out if I can't find nothing there I may have to custom order something off line. Or go with a smaller bulb.

alright so my tank is all done and ready except for one thing...... the reptisun light and fixture . i found a light fixture at the hardware store it's a 36" T-8 (25 watt) and the reptisun light i ordered and got today is a 36" T-8 but it's a 30 watt...... the manual on the light fixture says...

I'm looking for a bearded dragon but I want a sandfire or something different then your regualr bearded dragon. So I'm wondering is there any reptile stores around Brampton, Orangeville, Guelph, Newmarket area's? I heard of exclusive dragon but can't find the adresse for them I emailed them to...

Ok scratch that last post I recently finally found a light fixture that didn't cost a fortune lol. Tank is coming along nicely, got the tiles all layed in got the lighting setup just gotta "decorate" the inside of the tank such as a cave and basking area etc... One thing I need to know is it...

ok my old 4 ft aqaurium light uses t-5 bulbs so that wont work. i also went to walmart,home depot,rona,canadian tire and could not find an under cabinet light fixture bigger then 18" or one that uses t-8 bulbs......

Ah alright thanks. might have to check walmart see what they have for light fixtures.

Ok so there Reptisun 10.0 are they T-8 bulbs? Cuz I can find out nothing about them on the net and went to home depot and couldn't find any under cabinet light fixtures for a T-8 bulb. Also the for the heat lamp it's just a normal heat lamp or do I need the actual reptile basking light? I have a...
