My bearded dragon has recently brumated. She slept all the time, didnt eat a lot at all, and was hiding a lot. After all of that i had a hard time trying to get her to poop. I have a dimmer on my lamp and decided to make it a little hotter (which turned out to be more than a little), and after a...

Just a few more questions, thanks for all the help by the way! :) It seems like it is brumation...he will eat bugs, but no lettuce and is sleeping on/off. Sooo... 1) Do i just feed him what he will eat? (aka phoenix worms/crickets/live feeders) and forget about veggies? 2) Do i change his light...

He keeps hiding under his ledge away from the basking area. Is this ok..? Will he go under the light when he needs to..?

He isn't on sand, but tile! He generally poops every day but has been pooping every other day, I am assuming that's because he hasn't eaten a lot. I thought brumation was only winter...?

I have found it is easier to ditch the water bowl and only mist! Misting AND the bowl of water in the cage can cause too much humidity in the cage, and eventually a respiratory infection. Misting + warm soaks multiple times a week works great!

A picture is needed, this may be normal or an issue! Can you include one?

My dragon lately has had stress marks, been eating less, and not as active...he also has been avoiding his basking area. He is a year old, and only 15inches because his owners before me when he was a baby didn't feed him a lot. He doesn't really like veggies, but now he isn't eating a lot of his...

Easy way to figure out the problem is to buy a temperature gun from home depot! They have some around $30 and it is well worth the money.

The waterfall might be a bit much, considering it will bring the humidity really high which isn't good for bearded dragons.

seems pretty normal.. mine has never done that, but beardies have their quirks!

Not too long ago I updated my tank! Added tile, new basking area, etc. With the new basking area, the temp was about 109, he would gap, but not constantly and seemed more active. Since my dragon is a year old i was told he would prefer lower temps, so i switched to a lower bulb and now his...

My dragon has some of the same yellow on his head and it is just his color! Looks like the same with yours! :)

Where can I get one at and how much do they cost?

Yeah the middle of the basking spot got to 113 so ill switch, but the farther I moved out it went down to 100 if that makes sense. He doesn't gap the whole time, but it seems a tad hot. He goes to the cooler side when too warm. Think 50W would be good?

I just made one and used the mod podge non toxic matte and it worked beautifully! Can't smell a thing.
