Hi, My partner and I will be moving into an apartment complex very soon and will be taking our two beardies with us. However, I am concerned because we have been told that the complex has a pest control policy and will be spraying the units regularly (I believe once monthly/once every two...

Hello! So, I'm going to be making some custom ramps/higher basking spots and whatnot for my beardies enclosures (especially for my older beardie, who has trouble navigating up his tree to bask). I was wondering what to use for extra traction, so its easier to climb. And preferably something...

This is a really random thing to discuss, but I'm taking an Intro to Psychology course and I have to conduct a small experiment involving behavior conditioning, and I thought it'd be interesting to involve one of my bearded dragons! But the problem is, I have no idea what to "train" them to do...

One of my dragons is getting into his older years, and he just looks plain uncomfortable when he sleeps. I also wanted to give him something to do, so I was thinking of a digging box. He loves being wrapped up in blankets, but blankets are quite hard to wash poop out/off of, so I figured maybe...

Today (which is also the day after my birthday) my baby bearded dragon, who I was doing all sorts of things for because he was lethargic and wouldn't eat on his own, died. He may of died last night. Either way, I feel horrible, I wish I could've been there to hold him and love on him before it...

Update: the little guy died today. He was just laying in his cage, I was about to soak him in some warm water because he looked like he was trying to poop (he was like this once before, so I soaked him and he pooped) but when I reached in to get him out he was really limp and his eyes were all...

So, the little dude hasn't shown much improvement. I'm worried.

Good news - he has been perkier lately, he glass surfed last night which I haven't seen him do in awhile (he mostly just sits on his hammock underneath the UVB and heat bulb). He hasn't started eating on his own yet, so I'm still feeding him baby food with the vitamin dust mixed in. I'm going to...

Yes, I've bathed him and let him soak. Occasionally I mist him, and he has a waterbowl. In fact, this morning I noticed that be pooped and the urate was runny, which I read meant he is well-hydrated. I fed him a little bit of warm babyfood this morning, just to make sure he was getting something...

So, two nights ago I set up his tank. Yesterday he had a full day of UVB, seemed a little perkier, but I still have not seen him eat. Hopefully he'll eat soon, he's lookin skinny.

Question: would a 20 gallon work? I think it's a 20-gallon long (my leos are currently in it, but I can separate them into 10-gallons), and the UVB light will fit in it perfectly. Plus, it will be easier to keep the 20-gallon warm with the lights and CHE I have now than the 40 gallon.

I realize it does seem like alot of wattage, but the area I live is cold, so I got the stronger heat bulb and basking bulb (and I read that babies like it a bit hotter than older dragons). I have the Reptisun 10.0 bulb, if I can get a tank and a fixture then he'd be all set. I've heard of Petco...
