A few months back a post caught my eye on issues with the zoomed reptisun T5 HO and terrible uvb intensities well short of the replacement window. It caused me to revisit my lighting and bulb rotation. Long story short, all of my six month old bulbs were emitting less than my new 5.0s by six...

Final update: Fedex formally declined to reimburse me for the shipping costs or for the lost revenue. (Bearded dragon needed a veterinary visit according to the recipient.) Their reason is "Prohibited Item Shipment". I've now spent an hour on two calls with managers and gotten nowhere. All I...

He is doing even better this evening. At more roaches and is exploring his new habitat. So far, things look quite good. Let's knock on wood and in a few weeks we should be in the clear I'm thinking.

Got a final update from FedEx. It appears the package did not make the evening deadline and was airshipped the next morning from Seattle. From there it went to Memphis and was flow O/N to Waukesha WI. At that point the packaged was pulled out of the shipping container and put with the rest of...

Thank you for all of the advice and good vibes. As was pointed out, this evening, another packaged popped up and we intercepted it in WI, at an office location (couldn't believe they were able to do this). It contained our baby, fully alive and very alert and just slightly cool. Once home (45...

Yeah, it says it is in Milwaukee, but that is actually for the shipping container it was supposed to be loaded on. The package itself is officially lost per the staff at the Milwaukee hub. Both containers that came from Memphis have been since unloaded and our package was never scanned after...

784681193425 tracking, now shows no date of expected arrival. Shipping container was scanned in WI but actual box was not. Thank you for the replies, even with the shipping info it now shows no definate shipping arrival time. I have been hounding manager after manager but it does appear it was...

Shipped a juvenile bearded dragon with Fedex priority O/N. One night became three days became a lost package probably dead dragon. Obviously I made a mistake in shipping with them and based on other reviews I am going to highly recommend NO ONE on this board EVER ship with them. I feel...

He's doing about the same. Am getting around 1.4 mls of various foods into him. He doesn't mind eating whatever I mix up but it's just a limitation in volume.... Since last Thursday he's up three grams at least. I've been exercising him and making him use the less mobile limbs as well as...

We've tried a few hornworms and silkworms but he will just watch them but has yet to strike. Hand feeding doesn't do anything with him until he gets a taste, shown no interest in bugs by hand either, roaches, silks or hornworms all micro sized. Has taken some super worm guts but that was even a...

I think there are arguments for and against getting "hatchlings" and what equipment and enclosure to choose, so I would look around and educate yourself before you make these decisions. Many of those decisions will depend on your experience, access to a reptile vet, environment and temp...
