Well I fed him a bit more, and... nothing. Still seems like he's hungry. He wasn't like this prior, but he was going through a shed at the time.

His poop is usually brownish (hints of green) or black (if I didn't notice it right away because he usually poops in the basking spot), and this was a light beige, almost the same color as the crickets. Also had a couple black spots (assuming cricket eyes) and small jagged bits (limbs/feelers?)

Ho boy. Looks like I need to start buying more crickets then... I'm still worried about the regurgitation though and thought it was because he ate too much... Anyone have any ideas on that? His basking spot is definitely hot enough.

Some of the crickets are even too SMALL; I don't believe the size of them to be causing this; his basking spot is around 100-110 during the day.

My baby beardie is roughly 9 weeks old, and he almost always seems hungry. We feed him 1-2 times a day, and I almost think we're overfeeding him, but everyone says to "feed them as much as they want in a 15m interval". We give him roughly 10 crickets twice a day, or sometimes some wax worms when...

So recently, my Beardie's been pooping dry and black poop, almost looking like it's melted and burnt a bit. I'm assuming the dry part is because he's not getting enough water (which he would get from his veggies or water bowl... if he actually went for either...), but I'm a bit concerned about...

I'm actually using an IR Temp Gun rather than the probe as shown in the picture.

It's not that I don't want a 100w, it's that it doesn't seem to make the tree hot enough, and it's fairly close to the bulb as it is. The only way to get it higher would be to push the UVB out of the way and put it on the very top of the tree (which I can't really do until my ReptiSun 10.0...

Might be worth a shot, but might still be too hot, which is why I was curious if a 125w would work, if they exist, heh.

Ugh. Is there a 125w variant I could use perhaps? The 100 doesn't keep the tree hot enough and the rock is too low to be a working basking spot.

Alright I'll look into that :) A crappy coil, but I've already ordered a ReptiSun 10.0 24" and I'm off to Walmart to get a fixture for it. Will be fixed by Friday :D (I have ZERO experience with any non-snake reptile, minus these two weeks, so I sorta just took in what the pet store people told...

I've noticed that not only does my Beardie (~7 weeks old) tend to turn very dark a lot more recently (especially when he wakes up), but my temp gun is giving me readings between 95-105 no matter how many times I adjust the basking spot, so I'm assuming I need a new and more powerful bulb. Any...

Edit: Edited out everything involving Arcadia as I just went an ordered a ReptiSun 10.0. Off to Walmart tomorrow when the bulb arrives Friday! :) Let me ask this though: Is there a noticeable difference between Arcadia and ReptiSun 10.0?

Hey, absolute newbie here, would appreciate some help! I've done so many searches on light fixtures, and would greatly appreciate one pointed out (link please?) that would work well with a ReptiSun 10.0 (or Arcadia setup since people claim those to be better?). I have a 40G viv and my baby is...

I was totally going to ask this. My sister's had a snake for a few months now and I'm curious to know the true gender of it myself. She's hoping it's female. Also, if it DID work, curious to know what the internal stuff would look like. Once I handle Nozzy (my Beardie) a bit more, I'm totally...
