I finally got him to go!! It took about 5 straight days of baths. Today i gave him some olive oil and extended massage and i got it out. Whew. I was really nervous. Thanks brandon for your reply!

Basking surface is between 100 and 105 depending on the day. I live in pennsylvania so it has been very hot. It is puzzling tho bc it cant be any type of impaction either. And he has been eating small amounts of his salad not the entire bowl.

Hey all, My beardie is about 3 yrs old and is currently going thru the phases of shedding. He is about to shed several spots again. I have him trained to go in the bath however he has not gone in over two weeks. He is still active and eating. All he has been eating is his vegs and a bearded...

Thanks for the reply. I have tried hand feeding before only to recieve the skink eye. He used to eat greens for me but just completely shut them out. What i have been doing is feeding the supers the greens and squash and rolling a few of them into the calcium or herpivite. This is the only way i...

Hi all, I have a 3.5 yr old beardie who i adopted when he was about 2. I just went through my first brumation experience which only lasted about a week and a half. My guy had slowed down (or became a picky eater) several months before the brumation. He would only eat superworms. My question is...

Awesome Job!

I kno it sounds bad but i dont really trust a vet. I dont have any reptile vets in my area (ne pennsylvania) but most vets do not specialize in reptiles or lack experience. I just try to make sure im doing everything correctly with my husbandry and if i notice anything out of the ordinary i use...

Thats good. Thanks for letting us kno

Hi, I built a 4 x 2 x 2 out of 3/4 inch oak plywood which was about $50 for the sheet. For the front i used 1/4 plexiglass with of course 1/4 sliding door tracks, which can be bought on Amazon for cheap. The rest of the stuff i bought from lowes. I think wood is a better option because it does...

I didnt see it. Does anyone have the clip?

I understand this post has come up many times but i dont understand how the clear bulbs would NOT harm their eyes. I can barely look at them for a second without having to turn away. Reptisun bulbs are not clear so why is it better for the incandescants to be clear?

In my 4x2x2 i have a 36 inch reptisun and regular clear incandescent bulbs for heat and extra light. I have read that it is better to use the clear, white incandescents because they are better for beardies but when you look at these bulbs they are sooo bright and im wondering if they can harm...

I decided to update the interior of my viv. I had bricks setup up similar in my old 55 gal. Hope everyone enjoys

I decided to change the interior up a bit. In my 55 gallon i had the bricks lined up similar and i really liked it so i decided to do the same in the new tank. As nice as the basking log i had in there was it was just too slippery and my dragon didnt use it. He actually has more room now and...

Thats exactly how my guy is. I dunno if it could be a shed coming on because it looks lik there is a small piece of skin stuck in his nostrils but im not sure. I worry too much sometimes but thats just me
