Hi all. I have a 6 month old. I have a dubia colony going. Lately he does not like to eat them when they are dusted. I use Repcal Calcium w/ D3 and Repcal Herptivite with Beta Carotene. If I dust, he will only eat a few. If I don't dust, he eats much more. I generally sprinkle the powder onto...

OK thank you.

Thanks for the advice. The legs, his back and lower tail all became white awhile after the main shed happened. His back shed after 10 days or so of daily baths. I have done 2x daily baths since then (maybe 8 days in a row) to get the feet and tail off. But no luck yet. I also just bought one...

HI all. I have a 6 month beardie and he's in the middle of hist first shed since I bought him 6 weeks ago. I also leave in Colorado and cannot get the humidity higher than 15%. His feet and last 4" of his tail will not shed after his body did about 2 weeks ago. I bath him 2x a day trying to...

He's 6 months and in a 40G breeder. I have a tropical type background for him to look at. The past few days he keeps trying to climb at the back wall, going back and forth like he wants out. Is this bad? He eats good. Great UVB lighting and perfect temps. He gets played with all the time. Does...

Can they survive off the water from citrus and greens alone or do they really need water crystals? This would be for breeders. Thanks all.

Thanks for the advice all. I appreciate it.

It is a T8 bulb. Placed about 8-10 inches above the basking spot. So ideally I would want the beardie to be looking in the opposite direction of the UVB? How can I do this? He's going to position himself however he wants.

HI all. Newbie here. Setting up my first tank (40G breeder). I positioned by 18" Reptisun inside the tank on the back wall. All's good. Now my question about the basking light is this: if I position this on top of the screen right next to the balast, where is the ideal basking spot for my...

Thank you again. This really helps.

Thank you taterbug. I was just hoping I could get it far enough away where I could use a much smaller wattage bulb.

Hi there. I have a 40G breeder I am setting up for my first beardie. I have already figured out how to mount the UVB ballast inside with 3M hooks. But I would also like to mount the basking light inside as well. I have seen plenty of homemade 4x2x2 cages that can obviously mount them easily. But...
