Have you been monitoring the basking temperatures. It is most accurate to use an infrared temperature gun. I think for adults the hot spot should be 105F.

Hello, My dragon's eggs just hatched. I was assuming I could just feed the hatchings the baby Dubia that I raise. Are the Dubia too big?

Hello, My dragon is very gravid. All as I have is an old Hovabator (thermal-air flow) however I am using it for tortoise eggs. Which types of incubators work best for you guys that are easy and inexpensive to purchase or build? Thanks.

I think I read somewhere that 15 minutes in natural sunlight is equivalent to 6 hours under a VUB bulb. That can be a little vague because of huge variable such as what type of bulb you are using, what climate and elevation where you live, etc. But yes, 30 minutes is definitely good. I live...

Thanks AHBD. I'll check that website. I think my friend may also have some of that stuff.

Great idea! My dragons love natural sunlight and being outside. It is possible that they can store the natural Vitamin D in their bodies because I think that birds and humans do. 15 minutes of sunlight is similar to 6 hours under a UVB bulb but even healthier. However, when they are in...

OK. Thankyou AHBD. I will separate them ASAP. They both have separate cages. I have them together temporary. I have a reliable exotic vet a few towns away and have used him for other pets. But I cant afford it now and last time I went to him I ended up paying a $200 bill for my canary and...

Yes. What CooperDragon is good. Also read this article "Coccidia & Parasite Infection Care" which is listed in the articles section of this site on the right-hand side of this page. It's under the sub-heading of Care and Husbandry in the Articles section.

So Sorry to hear of your problems so far. I Doubt that brumation would be the issue as I just recently read that most dragons will only try to bromate in their second year and after. That is the way my 2-year old female is acting now. My on-year male is very active. But my female still eats...

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knows of any natural or home remedies for severe diarrhea in B. Dragons? The details are that his stool has suddenly turned into mostly a greenish liquid that even at times resembles water. Also, after I was cleaning it up one time he bit me through my...

Hi. Sorry to hear of your dragon's dilemma. I would be terribly worried too. I own a UVB meter and they are great to have but you could just make sure you change your MVB once a year. Mark in a calender when your get a new one. Even 10 to 15 minutes of direct sunlight outdoors goes a long...

Nice :)

Dubia are nice to have since they are almost odorless and easy to care for and breed. Unfortunately since they are a tropical species they might be illegal in Australia. Try to check around alitlle more. I have heard that locusts or grasshoppers are better feeder insects than crickets as...

Wow! That is an awesome setup. I don't think it needs any upgrades. Just make sure the basking temperature is correct.

Sounds like he is extremely well fed. What is in his salad? Does it get eaten?
