I'll be able to get the light inside the tank with her new one when it arrives, hopefully by next week. The bulb is only 2 months old at this time. ZIlla brand, 15 watts. The distance is good. And thankfully when I purchased the fixture I was told to remove the plastic piece then.

I know what you are concerned about - I don't feed her in her tank while she's on the chips to try and cut down the risk. But if she doesn't have a substrate she can dig in while she has eggs, she gets really stressed. Do you have any advice of a substrate I could have her on so she can dig? And...

Hello everyone - I really appreciate everyone thinking of Lucillia, and giving me advice. I wanted to post a quick update. Attitude wise, she seems as healthy as ever. Its difficult to tell since I'm always looking, but I feel that her nose is doing a bit better. It almost seems to be healing...

I will do that right now, thank you for the information! I will get a ceramic heat emitter too, just in case

Here are some pictures of my setup for her. I'm doing research to make my husband build her a much larger tank, I haven't made up my mind how I want her light setup to be in the tank. :) The left side with the rock is her nighttime heat, and the right side has her daily heat. The felt/wicker...

She is scheduled for a biopsy of the area on October 17th, they were booked pretty far out. I know they were reluctant to do the biopsy as reptiles are not great with anesthesia (so I've been told), but it's definitely a must now. I've never had a reptile need anesthesia, so I'm nervous. I've...

It is a moonlite reptile bulb, i believe the 40 watts as shown.

It is that one, and it did have the plastic cover. Thankfully, when I bought it, the people at the store had mentioned that fact to me. I had no idea prior, but luckily was at an actual small family owned reptile store, and they told me to remove it. But thank you very much for telling me, if I...

That makes so much more sense than anything I've heard. It it tender to her, but she tolerates me putting medicine on without trouble. I asked today if I should put guaze over the area, to protect it more. The vet felt I shouldn't, as he was worried it would get stuck. Which makes sense. But if...

I wondered about a burn too, but I've no idea how she would have managed it. She was tank surfing around 3-4 months before this and had developed rub wounds on her chin. I put her in a larger tank, basically taller and a bit wider, and upgraded her UVB. She stopped surfing and her chin healed up...

Unfortunately I had to leave just as you replied. I will taken pictures of her setup soon. And you're right, I was typing too quickly - her UVB is 15 watts, Zilla brand. The vet did say he could take cultures, but that getting results takes a long time, and were often not even correct. The...

Hello, I'm absolutely new to this forum, and honestly I'm hoping for either advice, or maybe anyone who has seen this before. I'm going to be as brief as possible, while also giving a lot of details. Most importantly, this is about my female bearded dragon Lucillia (a bit over 2 years old) and...
