I didn't get any details. Was just told they drew blood. It was during the end of covid so kinda awkward. I had to wait in the car for 2 hours while they had him inside. They came out and gave updates. At the end, they told me everything looked good and told me to cut his nails. They seemed to...

They did not.

No just blood work

Thank you. Is the t8's distance important to any other part of the tank? I guess I was always going for a spot where he'd get maximum impact throughout the whole cage. But if it's only effective at 6-8" I suppose that's pointless... I mean, I definitely thought when he stopped moving as much...

Fixture. I'd say 10" from his main basking spot

I can't find any good pictures of his tank. They might be on my girlfriends phone. 75 gallon tank. It was a deep tank so I built him a very large platform for basking that doubled as a cave below. He was maybe 6-8" from his heat lamp at the top with a temperature around 95 - 100 degrees. Floor...

I'm kind of feeling that same way right now. Like getting another will help. But I need to wait until my kids get a little older. It was so hard finding time to let ash out and make sure the kids don't jump on him. I feel bad for neglecting him after our second came along. I'm also nervous as...

Thank you for that. Yeah I'm not sure about the tank yet. I may want another one in the future. Need to let this settle in first before I think about that. I've posted on here about him in the past but nothing about his recent issues. He stopped eating out of the blue and started shaking. I...

I'm having a much more difficult time than I ever thought I would with this but my friend just died last Wednesday and I'm a bit torn up over it. I've been wanting to come on here and post about it but couldn't gather up the words. I finally sign in and see this memorial area so that's amazing...

Okay gotcha. No that behavior has been like that since brumation. He's always the same and always scares me. I guess since I found hornworms he's always eaten like a beast even while brumating so that's what I'm used to now. Thanks for the link karrie. I just ordered some from that website...

Pardon my ignorance. BSFL? He looks the same. I still take him out and let him pass out outside of his cage whenever he's not in his cave when I get home so I still handle him as much as I can. He's been very stubborn with his food since day one. He was very stressful as a baby. He wouldn't...

Also, where's the best place to buy roaches from? I buy my worms from Josh's frogs but every time I look, theyre dubia roaches are all sold out.

I haven't weighed him in a while unfortunately. I thought about dubia roaches before but he's just so picky. I don't hear about to many beardies not liking Phoenix worms but mine won't touch them. Well he came close. He gave a very pathetic attempt to stick his tongue out at them and missed by a...

Is it time to freak out yet? I've tried everything. Different greens, different fruits every day. He will not touch anything. I'm honestly surprised he's still alive. I seriously worry every day I'm going to come home and find him dead. I'm freaking out. I can't do this anymore. I just ordered...

Thanks so much for that response. Yes starving him was a bad way to put it. I couldn't imagine they would actually let themselves die out of stubbornness. He's gone as long as 4 days with no food before but I always cave and give him the worms. I guess I just need to get past that hump and see...
