HI!! okay, heres a link on how to upload pics >> viewtopic.php?f=30&t=167225 Its so great ur doing ur research 1st :) And ur gonna be so happy choosing a beardie for a pet :) Okay the tank u have is fine, but I rlly dont think its gonna last too long (they grow like crazy!) If u still have...

I think theres a place on there where u could just mail her a sample and let them to it, and I think it was rlly cheap.

The reptisun 10.0 TUBE (not the compact) or the arcadia 12% are the only acceptable lights to use with a bearded dragon. ALL compact bulbs can cause health problems. So if ur reptisun is the tube bulb then yes u have the right one. And yes the screen will filter out the uvb rays. U need to mount...

Well hes a cutey! I didnt say that is was MBD, but thats what it sounded like to me. I havent had a dragon with it, so I only know what Ive heard/seen on here... Still with the jaw like that I wonder, and Ive read a calcium deficiency can cause tremor like movement. But IDK, Ive heard of...

Thanks Zach7. Also Harriesowner Kale binds to calcium and then ur dragon just poos out the calcium she needs, so U may want to switch it to a green, Kale is ok as an occasional feeder. Ah, u can leave the mealworms in the container they came in and they will eventually die. or better yet, if u...

Hi, how sweet oh u to hlp the little guy! It kinda sounds like he could have MBD. ?? IDK tho. U may want to do a search on MBD (Metabolic Bone Disease) and see if the symptoms match what hes doing. Any way u could post a pic on here? Lots of times u can tell by the way their jaw is, does it...

Hi, Is ur UVB the reptisun 10.0 tube? If not, if its a compact one, that could be why she has stress marks (those black lines) The compact ones are known to hurt beardies eyes and even cause blindness. If u do have the compact turn it off ASAP, and then get u a tube reptiSUN 10.0 mounted inside...

IDK about the feces, srry... Id personally just keep an eye on it and if over a few days he keeps having BMs like that then Id take a sample to a vet for fecal testing. But I imagine its probably due to the diet change, Think about when u change a dogs diet, it tears their stomachs up for a few...

So glad he doing well! I leave greens available at all times, U can mist them with water to hlp keep them from drying out so fast. I feed superworms and dubia to mine as their staples, and I feed them in a bowl (they cant climb out of) So If they dont eat all of them from the morning feeding...

Get u some of the uniheat packs like they use or shipping. They make ones that last 40hr and 72hr. (Im sure the come in more than just those 2) But u can pick them up offline(the reptile show here sells them too, so if u have a reptile show somewhere close by u can check there) but they are...

Hi, congrats on going to get u a beardie.... Im by no means an expert mind u, but Id def get rid of the sand ASAP. Yes shes gonna go thru relocation stress anyway, so best to get it all outta the way at once, if u leave it in there and let her get used to u and ur house then take it out,, she...

Are u reaching in to get him from overhead? That would make him sense danger like a predator. U should always let them see ur hand and pick them up from the front, sliding ur hand from under their head to belly... U could also try putting a shirt that uve worn (so it smells like u) in his viv...

Most babies wont eat their greens at 1st, just keep offering them daily, it may just be a bite or 2, but eventually he.she will eat them. And it could very well be the uvb bulb thats causing the stress marks, Im glad uve decided to get the reptisun 10.0 TUBE. those coil ones hurt their eyes and...

Congrats on ur new beardie! First it can take longer than just 4 days to settle in, or i wouldnt freak out or anything yet :) Secondly, Id def double check ur temps. Is that a dial thermometer in the pic? they can be off by up to 20 degrees. Get u a probe thermometer or an infrared gun to check...

Tank- A 20 gal will work for a baby; no less than a 40 gal breeder for an adult (so the 40 gal u have is plenty big enough, I believe they are 36"x18"x16"?) It may be too big and overwhelm a baby dragon, so get use a divider to block him/her off into a smaller space. Heat Basking Bulb/Fixture-...
