Hi Brandon! That was just a generalized- his actual basking spot (branch I should say) usually sits between 93-95 degrees! I use PAR38 halogen bulbs for him so I have to keep it quite high from the tank in order to keep his branch from not getting more than 100* on the surface, I don't want to...

Happy New Year Everyone! :) I had rescued a neglected beardie from someone mid 2019- with normal care he's been doing great and has perked back up quite a lot. He's in a 120 gallon with a basking spot around 80ish and has a Reptisun 10.0 (just bought a new hood and tube today to try out the T5...

Thanks for the responses! I'll attach some photos here of him after a soaking today, he drank some while in the bath but you can see he still is dehydrated from his skin wrinkles, hopefully with daily soaking that can turn around. The only thing I've been able to really get him to eat since he's...

Hey Guys! I just recently rescued an adult beardie (between 2 and 3?) from someone who was not taking proper care of him. They had said he had barely been eating for several weeks (my guess was really not at all), and upon looking at the temperature in his tank when picking him up it was...

I haven't touched his lights at all, sometimes he'll sleep a day or two and then come back out so I'm not sure if he's going to fully go down this time, I don't want to alter anything yet just in case!

Hey All! My little man Norton is slightly over a year old now (I believe his birthday is sometime around December?), and I am thinking he is having his first go round at brumation! He hasn't eaten very much in the past two and a half weeks, and has spent all day yesterday and today curled in...

Hi Everyone! I'm looking to upgrade Norton from his 40 gallon tank to a 75 gallon for Christmas! He is a little over a year now, and is due for an upgrade. However, I'm having trouble finding a tank that size for him? The big chain pet stores only have tanks that size for fish (I don't need a...

Okay, so my heat bulbs KEEP blowing and I have no idea what to do about it. I have a Zoo Med 100 watt bulb in a Fluker's 150 watt dome; I've gone through about 4 bulbs in the past month and a half. Obviously lighting will have to be replaced around every 6 months (at least for UVB), but I know...

Hijack away! I think the world of worms can be super confusing sometimes and just a lot of information, so the more information we can put together about them the better!

They're selling the larvae on their website now too, so I will definitely order from there! I don't know why, he's just never had any sort of issue when it comes to the mealworms, after about a week of him being at home he started pooping about once a day and has done that every single day...

He gets a bath about every other day, yet each time he still manages to drink what feels like a gallon and I'm not sure why! It's not like he's dehydrated, he's in the bath so often. I've just been trying to keep the water levels much lower to tempt him to not drink AS much as before, if that...
