Thank you!! Will definitely start monitoring her weight just in case.

Daily diet is mostly just collard greens dusted every other day (and then once a month with D3). Once or twice a week she will also get some dubia roaches. Otherwise, I will sometimes give her fruits and other veggies just for some variety. I will definitely buy the reptisun bulb and change it...

I have a digital probe thermometer as well. It’s currently reading 100.4. Two 100W have never been too hot no matter what brand I go for, as the hammock is sloped and it gives a good gradient for such a big tank. Less wattage results in much colder temperatures as my basement is generally cold...

Cold side temp: 77-80 Warm side temp: 80-85 Basking: Sloped, so ranges from 85 at the bottom to 100 at the top. Bulbs: Two Zoomed Repti Basking Spot Lamps 100W each UVB: Repti Zoo long tube fixture fixed to the inside of the tank across the middle (pics attached). Bought in september so 10...

Hello! My bearded dragon started showing signs of wanting to brumate around November of this year. Not eating as much, digging in her caves, and not wanting to bask. She did one final poop and settled down. I left her alone, keeping her lights on a shorter cycle. I would offer her food...

Hello! I noticed this a few months ago but assumed it was just some random shedding scales. Now it looks a bit more concerning, and I'm not sure if these are just damaged scales or something different. So my question is what this could be, and how to deal with it if it's not something normal...

I’ve got one last question since nothing seems completely clear about it, how soon could she lay more eggs? Is it safe to remove her lay box now? I’ve seen some posts saying 2-3 clutches a year during “the season” but I’m not completely sure when the season starts and ends or if that’s just for...

Posted a few updates above! She was gravid and all went smoothly. She completely ignored her dig box until yesterday (I kept putting her in it when she was digging around the tank even though she showed no interest), where she started digging and then began laying. She didn’t dig very deep but...

She laid a total of 23 eggs and was willing to eat as soon as she was done so I gave her dusted roaches until she decided she was full! After letting her rest I also gave her a bath. She ended up laying another egg while basking which isn’t too surprising considering what I’ve read. Seems to be...

Sorry for the late update - Sunny is currently laying! My boyfriend and I went ahead and made her a lay/dig box just incase she was gravid since she was showing all the signs (constant digging, lack of appetite, etc). All seems to be going smoothly now- fingers crossed. She wasn’t very...

Hello! I am also considering a dig box for my beardie, as I tried a loose substrate for her (ReptiChips) and have just had to remove it due to an impaction. She has proper lighting and temperature, but she would dig all day and keep licking the chips and ingesting a piece every time. Eventually...

Unfortunately it seems like chips aren’t working for my beardie, Sunny. I agree that proper husbandry = no impaction, but I feel like I’m doing everything right and this is just something that doesn’t work for her. She’s not eating in her tank and her temperatures are completely fine (measured...

I don’t believe she is though, because I can’t feel any eggs or anything of the sort. I also think she’s too young, but I may be wrong. Unfortunately we have to remove the substrate from her tank because she is ingesting too much of it while she digs and recently had a small impaction from it...

Some background. When we first got Sunny, she had paper towels as her substrate and loved to rip them up (dig) in her hide. As she grew she stopped both digging and using her hide almost entirely, preferring to sleep on top or on her hammock. Recently, I purchased a new substrate for her - I...

From what I have heard excavator clay is very hard to clean and tends to crumble easily. It's more so used as a lining than a substrate. I've heard the best loose substrate is Zoo Med Reptichips, you can get a bag for $12 on Amazon and I am currently testing it for my beardie. She has a 48x24x24...
