Thanks for your help, He seems ok with it but would be nice yo find out what causes it. M9G

Hi Anyone know why my beardy sometimes gets a purple throat and then a few hours later throws up, it has only happened twice in a year and the first time was after he ate a cricket and this time he has only been feeding on cabbage and red pepper which is his usual diet. He seems ok and after...

Hi My beardy is nearly 3 and the past few days the top of his head is staying a white sort of colour even when the rest of his body goes dark, usually it changes dark with the rest of his body. Anyone have any ideas why? Regrads M9G

Ok thanks will stick with sand The light is a UVB 10.0 and it is brand new yesterday and it is a tube. I gave him a warm bath just now and rubbed his belly, he was in the bath for about half an hour. I just put 3 locusts covered in calcium powder in his tank and he scoffed them in no time at...

I'm new to beardies and hear mixed feelings on whether I should leave the lamp on at night or not, I turn the UV striplight off, apparently upto the point when I got him yesterday the previous owner was turning the heatlamp off at night, some have suggested a red light at night. I'm not sure...
