How did this go Karie? I just gave my 7mo old his first dose of the stuff tonight for coccidia and am always interested to hear other beardie owners experiences with side effects on meds. Elliot did horribly on panacur a couple weeks ago for pinworms and it was so hard on him that it spiked the...

Chillyreefa, sending you a message since our dragons are going through the same thing. Maybe we can share progress and change noted to help each other out

I've been having the same issue with my 7mo old Elliot! She was on panacur for four days at .17ml. She went from eating 30-40 small dubia/day to not wanting to touch anything at all within ten min of her first dose. We got her to eat 10 dubia on day 2 after having given her .5g of soy yogurt...

Hi Beardie Fam, So... Elliot is 7months now and has been avoiding her UVB shortly after transferring her into a crossfire viv from her 40ga about 6 weeks ago. Her appetite remained voracious and everything normal except that she started shying away from the UV light and hiding in the corners...

Thanks gang. I think we done growed ourselves a pretty good drago. I'm starting to think she's just being a fussy teenager! You mentioned adding a higher basking log but I honestly just removed the one I had in there bc she refused to use it! I have some great fake rock structures and hides...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, she is 6 months old (previous reply was mistaken). She is good size at 16.5" and 310g as of yesterday, and is still gaining weight steadily at around 25-40g/week. Not a fatty by any stretch but likes to eat her dubia and salad for sure! The current pic of the viv...

Hi all, checking to see if anyone can share their experience with a juvenile going into brumation. After ruling just about everything out short of a visit to the vet (happening this week), and reading a lot of brumation info, it seems like Elliot starting to go into brumation at just about 6mos...

So it turned out to be thermostat reading issue after all! Like a dummy I used my cheap plastic thermometer to measure the basking temp (BIG MISTAKE). They were superheating under the plastic cover and giving false readings about 30deg too hot. Naturally, I turned down the dimmer.... so my dudes...

I have a zoomed stick on thermometer/humidity gauge slapped on each end of the viv, and a digital probe that came with the thermostat in my cool end. Both zoomeds match the probe under testing and I feel good about the temp readings. I'm not worried about the thermometers giving falsies

Thanks guys. It's honestly a little confusing bc there is so much conflicting info out there on what the cool side/hot side temps should be. I had actually tried to set the cool side thermostat to 77 during the day a few days ago (which is the night temp setting from 8p-6am) but even with the...
