He's adapting, hang in there, he should come around!

Everything sounds right, it must be shedding irritability and possibly his natural fear of water. It should be up to the arm pits, he should be touching/walking on the bottom, not floating. It's hard, but hold off until he's more friendly during the shedding They'll get lazy, let him catch...

Another thing, secure or only use that digital probe/bulb when needed! It takes about 10 or 15 minutes to get the temperature, take it out or secure it! After having my beardie for two years...he bit off the temperature bulb and ate it!

First suggestion, remove the water! Give it to him when he eats, as soon as he's done with it, take it out...humidity might be the issue. Temps seem right, if it's too hot, they'll move or become nervous, move around trying to find a cool area Whats that machine in the left corner?

They do get irritable when shedding, bath him and leave him alone

I don't know about Seminal plug so I can't comment. Beardies do change fast, mine didn't like water! Now, he tolerates it! Bathing, he's going to need it whether he likes t or not! Have some interaction time before putting him water....when he's in there, put your hand in there to give him...

It was a digital probe. I'm not leaving that in there again! Spoke with a vet at Reptile Rescue North Carolina He said, give him some mineral oil, no artificial colors, no red dye, no preservatives....get it at the drug store/department Dip it on food, my beardie like those beardie pebbles...

THANKS. I'll get some! Not looking forward to poking around that stinky stuff!

I noticed this morning Angel probably ate the bulb off the temp probe! I can't find it so I guess he swallowed it. Think he'll pass it? He's about 2 years old He never paid attention to it! It was about 1/4" diameter and about 1/2" long

At first I wrote it off as mild brumation, lack of appetite, not sleeping a lot, just lounging on his rock all day, only got off the rock to poop. He's 9 months old next month, VERY chubby, big chubby cheeks, about 15+" One day he'd dive off his rock to get a roach, or dive into the salad bowl...

I do similar as to what Soul does. This came up the other day, it might help, I got most of the idea after searching You Tube, then modified it to suit me. viewtopic.php?f=76&t=183937 Lots of videos on You Tube, they all harvest/clean almost the same way.

Now I understand. A roll of metal fence 1/2 x1/2 or 1x1 for the a cylinder would work. The hard part would be attaching it to the plastic pool. For the roof, you could use aviary screen, or bird screen. It's a cloth mesh, just need to rig up some supports to keep it from sagging. Just make sure...

Thanks, I feel better now that I know it is molts and not a die off. Yes, it was a good deal. I took a quick peek and noticed a few males with chewed up wings! I'll need to spend some time counting! Thanks

First, I would feed him Dubia roaches, they're more nutritious and more filling... 3 crickets equal 1 roach. Someone asked the same question. Read this: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=183996

You're going to need a lot more than 5 adults. 5 females would produce around 30 nympths a month...5x30= 150 Check out Dubia Deli for a colony. Or check out the For Sale section here.
