Hey Shelly, you'll have to find the bulb yourself I'm afraid, it would depend on the size of the vivarium and the size of the fitting you have for the bulb. But you need a ReptiSun 10.0 or an Arcadia D3 12%. As for basking bulbs, you don't need anything specific, you can just get a load of...

Yep, if it's too hot they'll definitely try looking for shade and not want to bask. Glad you've sorted the temps out :)

Haha that's what the forums for! I felt the exact same when I joined :D The link should explain it all to you, it's a very good article. But in very brief words - You'll know she's looking to brumate by doing certain things like lethargy, lack of appetite and so on. All dragons are...

Remember to check the UV bulb that Cassie already has, she could have a good one! (But then again it will need replacing soon anyway, so it can't hurt to get it :D ) As for brumation, before you let her go to sleep for the winter, make sure she has a final bowel movement as if they sleep with...

The UVB bulb won't heat up much to be honest. I'm in the UK as well, and Mistyck is asking about the UV bulb because some brands are not suitable for bearded dragons due to producing the wrong wavelengths of UV ray. If you can tell us the brand of the bulb that would be helpful. (Coil bulbs...

I've never tried pepper, but they get the occasional bit of carrot. You can use this site as a guideline for all the sorts of veg that they are allowed to have: http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html It's VERY useful.

Your setup sounds good, and wow he's a huge boy if he's only 6 months!! I've got a 19 month old who's just reached 21inches haha. And the same 19 year old went through what you may be experiencing last year, he wasn't old enough to fully brumate so kind of slowed down, got really lazy, didn't...

Hi Alberta, your new guy looks good, and I'm glad you have him in proper care now. You're right, the reptisun tube is a perfect choice of UVB light. What are the temperatures you're getting by the way? I'm afraid I can't tell you what morph he is, although I do have one thing to say. He looks...

Hi Missi, during the winter beardies will go into something called brumation, which is kind of like a hibernation, except they do not go into a deep sleep. During brumation they will slow down all bodily functions, meaning that they won't have to eat and won't be anywhere near as active, don't...

Hey leew, I live near London and buy collards for mine every week. Here they're called spring greens, I get mine from 'Sainsburys' or 'The Co-operative'.

Hi relentlesschaos. I went through a phase like this with one of my boys too. He wouldn't leave his corner, but perked up when taken out of the vivarium. I had 2 problems, firstly the temperature was way too hot, I had it at 110F basking spot and 90 ambient temperature, so I put that down to...

Hi Pappy, it's recommended between 6-8 inches is safe, but any closer to the heat lamp may burn your beardie. I'm surprised you can't get the right temps with all that though, all I use is a 40 watt heat lamp and I can get up to 105F. What size is your enclosure? Perhaps move it to a more warm...

Yeah it's recommended a few hours under the basking light to digest the food. But if you're not having any problems with this, like if she's still eating, pooping, shedding and acting normal, I don't see anything wrong with it as she can digest the food tomorrow. If it works for you and your...

I think it depends on the food type, for example, both of my beardies poop the day after their greens, but will take around 2 days to poop after eating locusts. And even longer, around 4 days, if they have supers.

Hi Mumtozeus, Deb asked me to answer your question and here it is! http://www.roachcolony.com/ That's the site I used to buy my starter colony from, I wouldn't recommend buying the starter colony they have for sale, it's much cheaper to just make your own bin. But the roaches are very good...
