What will you seal it with?

Looks like you're doing a great job John. I'm interested also to find out if varnish is safe to use in a Beardie enclosure. I'd like to use Spar Varnish as it's incredibly watertight and great for cleanup. Have you found out if it's ok?

Fluffy passed away last night. Thank you all for your words of encouragement and support. He really did fight hard. And I know that without your advice, we wouldn't have made it even this long. My children learned a good lesson in that we do whatever it takes when it comes to our pets. So...

HI everyone, Just a quick update.... This morning Fluffy seemed to be looking for his food! He was moving quite a bit. His eyes are still closed, but seeing him showing signs of life made me happy!! Unfortunately I had to leave right away to get the kids off to school and me to work, but...

Fluffy is holding his own as of today. I haven't been able to get him to eat, though today during his bath, he did open his mouth a bit. He may have gotten at least a "taste" of the delicious concoction I made for him. :) He's still moving about, heading up top to bask now and then. His...

I'm honestly unsure about the bulbs. I will just order the first one you told me about, and we'll stick to that for now. :) I think I'm just tired. I feel like I have a newborn all over again!! LOL The folks here at work just laugh at me and my animals. I guess you all probably know...

I was home at lunch to check on him and try some food, but he wasn't interested. He's spending a lot of time in the "cool" corner of the tank with his head up. He climbs up to bask for 1/2 hour or so, then back down to cool off. I'm simply amazed that he's still alive, considering the fact...

Oh, I forgot to ask... Is there a screw-in type bulb for UV that is ok for him? I have the two bulb Repti fixture. Whatever is best is what I will do. I eagerly await your advice. Thanks again. I love the internet!! Jennifer

HI all, Sorry for the absence of my reply. It's been a long couple of days! I've been trying every few hours to get him to eat or drink to no avail. I mixed up some babyfood chicken and squash, along with some pedialye to make it really runny, but he wasn't interested. So, I've tried a...

Thank you all for your quick advice and support. I have turned off the coil UVB and will order the ReptiSun today. I have a strip fixuture I can use. I will also do some calling this AM to find a herp vet. This isn't a very large town, but hopefully I'll find one that will do more good...

Ok, here we go... He is 9.5" nose to tip of tail. The UVB is a coil type bulb, but it's hot right now, and I can't read it. I'll have to pull it out when the light goes out later tonight as I don't remember what I bought. :( Ok, the humidity thing is good to know. I'm doing ok there, but...

First off I'll admit, I don't know as much as I should to help him. My first step is to ask here. I hope you won't "flame" me too bad. I want to help him best I can. My beardie is only about 4 months old. He's in a ten gallon tank with a heat lamp and UV bulb. Both bulbs are only about a...
