I just got done sanitizing her cage :D I had a steam cleaner I already use at home to clean and it was very easy to clean her cage with. She almost never poops in her cage, only in her bath, so I threw out the only rock she ever pooped on and replaced it with another one in her cage (I rinsed...

SHE POOPED THIS MORNING!!! I was so nervous that she wasn't going to go. I got the sample to the vet about an hour and a half after she pooped. She had high numbers of coccida and like flagellated protazoa or something? I've never heard of it but, on the exam notes, it says "many motile protozoa...

I have a vet appointment first thing in the morning tomorrow and I have no idea how to get the fecal sample properly. There's really not much online and some conflicting info. She only poops every 4 or 5 days in her cage and by the time I get home, her poops are too dried up to test, so I will...

I have been recommended F10 a lot for deep cleaning. My question is, does it kill coccidia. I have done lots of research and haven’t found any actual testing done. Has anybody tested if F10 kills coccidia? Or does anybody know for sure if it does? I know it will probably kill the other common BD...

I am getting ready to deep clean Ash’s cage for the first time and have been looking for a disinfectant. Recently, I have been reading a lot of posts that say that the pink concentrate disinfectant from beardeddragon.co works really well. I think they got rid of it because now there is only the...

She is doing a lot better. I have moved her basking spot a little bit and put the UVB back inside so that the uvb sits about 7” above her. She has not been squinting and started to perk up immediately when I mounted it this way.

Correct, it is a T8. If I put it directly above her, then it will be about 12” away on top of the screen. When I put it above her, it did not irritate her eyes. Is 12” a good distance?

Sorry, should have specified that I threw out the Zilla bulb a while back. I put the Reptisun 10 into the Slimeline fixture so I could put the UVB on top of the cage. I didn't explain that very well in my post.

I forgot to mention she is not an adult. Not sure exactly how old she is, because she has a REALLY long tail, so the length=age things seem kind of inaccurate to me. Thinking maybe 4-5 months. She is about 15 inches, about 7 from nose to vent. Anyways, will she still be ok at her age? I don't...

Ash has had stuck shed for about a week and it hasn't been coming off. I have been giving 5-10 min. baths every other day and dripping water on her skin to moisturizing it. I goes from her neck to the start of her tail. It is really starting to concern me and I hope it doesn't start to constrict...

I live in the SLC area and recently went to a vet near me to get a physical done on my new beardie. It was not a very good vet, and so I have been researching on other vets in my area. The ones that came up on google did not have good reviews (especially from beardie patients) so I did some more...

So, I had a zilla slimeline fixture and I read that the zilla bulbs weren't good so I went to Petco and bought a reptisun 10.0 for way too much (I wanted it asap). I also bought a florescent fixture from Home Depot to mount inside her cage with command painting hooks. The edges of the bulb are...

I got a Reptisun 10 from Petco a few weeks ago and mounted it inside her cage with a fluorescent fixture rated for the same wattage as the bulb. The edges of it are dimmer than the middle of the bulb. I thought it was normal at first, but now I am starting to worry about it because she has been...

Not really, I just wanted to get her a checkup.
