Could be smell as well. Did your sister handle or pet another animal before the bite?

Its a mercury vapor bulb. Powersun 160watt. Puts out both UVA and UVB, while also heating his viv. No tube needed. Using alfalfa as a substrate. Completely safe if accidentally injested, although my beardie is already old enough that he hasn't had any issues with it during a feeding. The...

My little guy has been home for over a week now. He's extremely tame and loves his family time outside the viv(today we even gave him his first bath which he loved). But I had been worrying about how upset he gets when he sees his reflection in the glass. He pretty much kept stress marks when...

I got paranoid and broke out the measuring tape this morning. His basking spot is 14.75 inches from the bulbs position in the ballast so I guess it wasn't as close as I estimated. And his other rock he likes to warm up on is right at 16. Does this sound safe? His basking spot temps stay between...

I have to keep mine a tad bit closer than 14 inches (probably 8-10) to keep the heat up because the viv gets decent airflow from the metal screen lids. Puts his basking spot at around 105f and cool side at 80f. Does it hurt to have it too close if temps are in range? Should I move the light up...

That's great news! I read so much about the reptisun 10.0 on here that I thought I may have just been getting bad advice from the breeder.

Gotcha, not sure if the calcium I was sold has D3 or not. Edit: Upon further inspection it does have D3 in it. Will it hurt him that I've been dusting his food with this?

Here's hoping you find your beardie soon, or vice versa. I imagine its quite nerve wracking.

Don't dust at all? I was just told to reduce to 3-4 times a week.

Is this an acceptable light source: http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=340 This is what the breeder that sold me the dragon recommended. Said they're expensive but better than using a separate light for heat as well because it more realistically mimics the sun. I'm using the...

This is mid dig so he's at a weird angle and had his muscles tensed. He does look skinny here but he's far from it.

I'm new to owning a beardie and learning about all the different morphs. Can anyone identify my beardies morph? I snapped this while he was digging in his alfalfa pellets.

I think I was just worrying. Tonight he ate almost 20 crickets so I guess he was just in the mood for live prey.

No, as I stated he was digging in the alfalfa. I'm using alfalfa.

He's actually being really energetic now. Jumping from his rock, to his log, and to his cave. I went back in there and discovered he had filled his hole he dug in and ran through his water dish. I think he may have taken a piece of mango as well. Not sure though.
