Thank you for replying but my bulbs are T8 :(

I bought the Arcadia D3+ 12% bulbs in 24" length. I put it in my hood and it wouldn't light up. Now the hood won't work with the repitsun bulb either so it's totally dead. The hood says it's 17w and the bulb is 18w so therein lies my dilemma. What hood are you guys using with your arcadia bulbs...

Hi everyone Anyone own a showcase cage? I have two in the black granite color that we've had for 6 years now. I love the look and functionality of the cages but I wish we hadn't bought them in black. I'm thinking about painting it to change it to a lighter color. Has anyone ever painted their...

Many people use plain household bulbs, as we always have. I have a laser heat gun to monitor temps. I have had these set ups for 4 1/2 yrs and never had an issue until just recently. That is why I'm thinking perhaps the dome is old and maybe needs to be replaced.

I have 2 beardies in showcase cages stacked on top of each other. They both have a standard dome fixture with a household bulb for heat. We used to be able to put a clear 60w bulb in them and their temps were perfect. Now I'm struggling to get their temps regulated. The cage on bottom used to be...

Did this baby ever find a home?

He would have been 3 in Dec. He was a Chris Allen red leatherback and so cute! We think he must have somehow gotten parasites. He got sick on Monday and went down hill really fast. He was my baby and I miss him so much already. He was so good. He loved to snuggle. Whenever I put him on the couch...

1) Feel it out as far as handling goes. If he seems calm and doesn't have a lot of stress marks after 4-5 days then he's probably starting to settle in. Sometimes it take a week or two. Also depends on the hustle and bustle in the house. Sounds like you have a busy household. Will the other...

I agree, try to handle her a little bit at a time. But definitely move slowly and just start with petting. I have had both my babies since they were tiny little things and they get "molested" daily but sometimes they are kind of spacing out (as beardies do) and if you move too quickly it...

I don't think it's brumation. They generally don't brumate until after 1 yr old, and even then not every beardie brumates, or does it fully. I would try the baby food or carnivore care. When my baby was sick I had to force feed her carnivore care by putting the syringe in the side of her mouth...

She ate 9 worms on Tuesday! I was so happy! She's back to normal. That was a close call. I was so worried. Guess this case is closed :)

Her stomach is significantly smaller. Her colors are great. She's getting some fight back. I just gave her a bath and she pooped some runny urates and some poop that looked like carnivore care. yuck. She's shedding too. Poor thing just can't catch a break. I think we're on our way out of this! :)

The vet said it can take up to 30 days for them to lay. I think she is resorbing them though, as her stomach is decreasing in size. I called today and the vet said to continue with the high dose calcium until the eggs are gone. She isn't showing any interest in food yet so I'm giving 2 ml of...

Thanks! Luckily they will be infertile eggs so no babies for us. The vet gave us some info on the lay box so we're working on that. I will be glad when this is over.

Hi everyone! Thank you for your support! We were away for the weekend with no internet hence my delayed response. So the vet confirmed that Jericho is a female! We have renamed her Aria. She said when they looked at the blood work and all the info they have it makes sense. She's full of eggs...
