He is only being fed 2 superworms per week as a treat. He is currently on a mixture of BSFL and roaches with a big full salad. He poops daily. I am happy to feed him 3 times per day however I am concerned he is getting overweight on his current diet. He went through a small faze where all he...

He is definitely not underweight. I suppose I would compare it to someone weighing 60kgs. If they were quite short they could be overweight but if they were taller they could be underweight. The weight looks different on different people. He is the short fat person. He has a BIG belly, is...

He is growing so quickly and stacking on the weight but he has really squishy jowls and his neck is starting to look a bit saggy. He is definitely chubby, he has a big belly and is growing in leaps and bounds but I am concerned that he is overweight because of the jowls. For a month in there...

Wondering if anyone can help me with my Woodie Roach colony. I ordered 500 small and 500 mixed about a month ago. Put them in a 60l storage container with the lid cut out and mesh glued on. Set up eggcartons in there and fed cat food (Kirklands grain free if that matters lol) and then fresh...

Thanks HippieLizards. Yes we researched intensively prior to purchasing from a reputable breeder. We have T5 HO Arcadia lighting, heat is good (no coloured bulbs) and Calcium without D3 alternated with a multivitamin with D3. I cannot imagine how people do the baby age without being prepared...

Hi all, We have a gorgeous new addition. Still tiny tiny at 7 weeks old. Without the flashlight I see bumps and think he looks male. With the flashlight he looks like a girl... so I wondering if he is too young to see what we should be seeing or is he actually a girl?

It is so funny that you mention them loving flies.Barely showed an interest in the roaches but was hunting a fly on the otherside of the glass today. Love the feeder dish you made. I have a postal tube here from the UVB tube so will give it a shot.

Ok. Thank you. I had no idea the supers would not be appropriate. Will grab some silk worms instead and hope the BSFL is a hit.

Thank you! His favourite spot is on the hammock where it gets 34 deg and is directly under the UVB tube (at a safe distance). I am a nervous new mumma (technically grandmama as he is my daughter's but I am too young for that term!). We managed to get him to eat 5 roaches today. He is a stubborn...

Hi all, have a new addition in the form of a 6week baby Bearded Dragon. Having issues with my heat gradient. I had tested it all out and it was perfect but I think I checked too soon after switching everything on and I am now noticing that my cooler end is sitting at 31-32deg. Warmer end...

I am still trying to figure out how the UVI ratings translate into the microW UVB / sq.cm. Largely because the testing of the bulbs and fittings that I am able to find list the results in UVI. The exact bulb, fitting and reflector that I have purchased have been tested and results listed in...

Thanks so much both of you. Really helps. We are determined to get the setup 100% correct before we even bring our baby home. Kingofnobby- The microwatt measurement seems pretty explanatory with the graph you linked. I will want to put the basking spot at 25cm - 30cm away from the tube. This...

Hi everyone, Setting up our enclosure and needing some more help. I purchased an Arcadia T5 HO 12% 86cm tube and reflector for a 120cm long x 50cm wide x 60cm high enclosure. The tube will be fitted on the inside of the roof. Not entirely sure how to position it. I drew up a couple of pics to...

Hi all, setting up an enclosure for a bearded dragon. The enclosure is 120cm long x 50cm wide x 60cm tall. I am firmly settled on T5 HO tube lighting. Thing is, I know recommendations are to go 3/4 the size of the tank but the only 3 foot T5 light fitting that I can find is the 90cm Reptisun...
