your beardie is pretty old, so he might naturally be shutting down :( BUT, I am curious as you say you only have a single bulb for him, is that a Mercury Vapor Bulb (heat UVA & UVB in one bulb)? Because if not, I am surprised he lived this long...

Why would you not take her to the emergency vet as soon as she was attacked is beyond me... But I really hope you listen to the posters above and do take her to the vet and hope that its not too late :( Poor baby I can't imagine how hard it is for her to recover from this without professional help.

Totally agree with the poster above, that's how I gave meds to my beardie, but I also wrapped him gently in a blanket and placed him on a pillow in front of me, so he couldn't back away from the syringe.

Hey, thanks for your answers. Falcor33, no the vet explicitly said not to let him shut down completely even if he is in perfect health because it will be hard to get him out of it. Anyway, I put in a new basking bulb with higher wattage because its getting colder and he actually seems a lot...

Hi All, I haven't posted on this forum in a long time, have been occasionally reading it though. I need a second opinion from experienced owners. My BD is just over a year old and has started showing signs of wanting to go into brumation. Consequently, I took him to the vet to make sure he...

is 80 F the hottest temp in the tank? the basking spot has to be 95-100F for the dragon to properly digest their food. This might be why your dragon is inactive and not a very big eater. You should get a new UVB light as suggested previously, and put it next to your basking lamp, which should...

mine is the same way! He used to be way more curious and fun when he was a baby - ran around the whole apartment, climbed on couches, jumped on (and off lol) window sills etc... Now when I let him run around he walks around a little, then darts to his favorite corner and lies there ready to pass...

omg.. I'm sorry but I couldn't read more than 3 lines of your post. Some punctuation might be helpful?

What substrate are you using? I think for the cool side, sticking it to the back wall will be fine. But for the hot side you need to measure directly on that branch where your dragon will sit. In my opinion, and some people on this site would probably disagree, it is not necessary to have...

when you say you put the thermometer on the roof, I am guessing its the top of your viv, where the lamp sits? I think the top cover of your viv is getting heated from the dome, although I am not sure why the cold side would be hotter. Anyhow, there is no sense measuring temps on top of the...

good catch, I completely missed that point...As soon as I've read compact I thought its one of those Zilla or ReptiGlo compacts, didn't even read the brand. Yes, this means you need to get the ReptiSun ASAP, which means you either need to go to a pet store and get the bulb or order it with the...

best to get the reptisun online. I got one from ebay before, and just ordered a replacement from beardeddragon.co , also pretty cheap. Anyways, let us know how your beardie is doing when you try the neosporin!

well your setup is mostly O.K. A couple of things: for the UVB you need to switch to a tube bulb: Reptisun 10.0. Compact bulbs are known to cause health problems. Also, try to get a digital thermometer with a probe (Walmart) because those stick ons are not reliable and I'm thinking if your...

Hi! Has he eaten at all for these 2 weeks? I think it would be helpful if you answer the questions below, then we can rule out any problems associated with improper setup. How old is your dragon? How long have you had your dragon? How long is your dragon? What is the sex of your dragon? What...

no problem :) I hope your dragon will feel better with the change
