He falls asleep on it quite alot, i bought it from pets at home, its for fish tanks but i cleaned it up and he loves sitting/laying on it to get nearer to his uvb, i also bought a bridge aswell which he loves jumping off lol. Thanks twobeardieguy

Hey Folks, Ive not been online for a while so thought i would post some recent pictures of Leo, Hope you are all well and your Beardies He fell asleep about a week ago like this lol

Most of the time they turn a they're body and tail a dark colour to obtain more heat Leo does this all the time, most of the time Leo is a dark colour the only time i see his true colour is when he is sleeping or jumping about the cold end of his tank trying to jump utpo his uvb lol Nothing to...

The best place and recommended by most Beardie owners is http://www.petmountain.com

Beardies will not sleep with infra red lights on, its a very bad suggestion from the pet store, as for the night time temps you should not be letting it drop below 19deg c as 17 is already too low

I had the Repti-glo when i first got Leo he was fine for 1month or so then went into a phase of not eating and being very lethargic, i changed his uvb to a Arcadia 6% uvb and he got back to normal in no time, as said before they are not recommended i would use the Repti-sun 10 which i have right...

15-20 mins is fine

Hey, as far as i know they only need a check up before they go down for drumation or as you say if they seem unwell, as for the lighting it does take a few attemps and a few bulbs to get the temps spot on. When it comes to buying a uvb light i would strongly recommend a Repri-sun 10 make sure...

If by heating lamp you mean the basking bulb i wouldn't leave it on over night as they need complete darkness to sleep at night, i would pick up a timer they are very cheap. In regards to the feeding, if you feed your Beardie before you go and leave greens in the viv, although its not...

I took the first steps yesterday Pets at Home, i went to my local pets at home and advised them about the sand being in the juveniles enclosure causin impaction (she said i wasn't the first person to mention it!) which they assured me they were changing to reptile carpet, there was also no no...

how often are you bathing him/her and offering water via syringe e.t.c.? Loe went roughly 2-3 months without eating properly and was very lethargic but one tub of Phoenix worms and he was fine, i personally think they get bored of eating crix all the time aybe try a different feeder to encourage...

Leo will usually sit there as you say staring for maybe the first 5-10 mins then he starts spinning round and flicking his front legs and for his finnaly he usually leaves me a nice stool to clean up lol

just like the last few times it was a chore to catch him From waht you said above are you chasing your beardie about the tank trying to catch him? if so it might be that he is scared of you as he is still young and a hand twice the size of him/her may be scary chasing him about.

Thanks Livey your letter is very good, i will change a few things as it may not tie in with our pets at home plus they don't even have the reptiles in yet so i think they would find it strange when they notice ive mentioned that theyr'e set up are unclean lol Thanks again, Tech Dave, i will be...

I recently started a topic on Pets at home to see how people were finding them as a supplier of live food, i found that a few people were not impressed with the way they looked after the reptiles, the Pets at home near me have recently started stocking live food which so far they seem to be...
