i use the P1 and it works great for me . I have to agree my 4x2x2 is not set up for tube lighting @ i like the fact that i can use a mvb bulb for uvb requirements & heat, In the winter i supplement the 100 mvb bulb with a wal mart halogen 50 wt spot bulb to keep temps where need be . The power...

Well i guess i spoke 2 soon . The new solar raptor bulb burnt out after 3 months. It is not anything i am doing that is different than 4 yrs ago.( old bulbs use to last 14 to 18 months) It is pointed straight down in a ceramic 250 watt household fixture. I took the fixture apart & checked loose...

No problem . I just got these 2 from Petco the week B4 Christmas . I have heard that a tort of this species grows approx 1" per year SCL. (unless you feed them a protein rich diet) which i don't. In 4 months now they have gotten heavier but only about 1/4 " in length Petco & Petsmart buys their...

My male is 4.5 scl my female is 4.0 scl . I also have a 12 x 6 outside enclosure for warm days & exercise . I know once they reach adulthood i will need to build something larger for indoors for winter months . They will spend all their time outside weather permitting , I was simply saying that...

You could raise a cherry head red foot in a 40 gallon critter keeper without any issues for at least 5 yrs . But i would also build a outside enclosure for he/she to roam during the nice warm days . i Have a male & female Redfoot in a 40 gallon critter keeper & they love it . On the warm days i...

My 1.5 YR old female has just woke up from brumation since October , She is not eating very much either . I wouldn't be to concerned with parasites since you stated he was parasite free b4 going into brumation. Just give him a couple of weeks & see if you notice a change . My dragon also has...

We spend lots of time camping on the beach. Our 11 month old female loves it . We do not allow here to roam on the sand though. all kinds of stuff washes up on the beach and wouldn't want her to get into something that may do her harm. She loves to sunbathe on my belly in the recliner :lol...

Take her with you. We had the same problem last summer when we rented a beach house. 1 have my dragon in a 4x2x2 at home. When we went on Vacation i set her back up in 20 long. She did just fine for the 7 day vacation in the 20 gallon long. i took her out every day for a walkabout and she...

Sounds like you have the UVB & heat covered with the power sun MVB. For additional lighting all you need is a bright white light household bulb or you can buy a really inexpensive 24" floresent fixture at Home depot or lowes. What i like about the floresent bulb is they don't produce as much...

Hello MrMatt What size enclosure do you have you're dragon in now? How old,Long is you're dragon? I had fat boy in a 20 long for about 5 months or until he reached 12" long. If to have to use the 120 gallon aquarium just wipe it out really well with a 10% bleach solution . Make sure to rinse it...

I have to agree with Lance (two beardie guy .) they are loving creatures that if handled often will eventually demand to be handled . My 9 month old female bit me a couple of months ago and drew blood. This was no fault of hers .Itook her outside for some sun and a hawk flew over really low...
