The cold side is around 80 degrees, the basking spot is around 104-106. The UVB is crappy, we got a MegaRay but it went out after 2 days and we are currently looking in to getting a replacement.... but the megaray guy wants us to pay shipping and handling all over again to Canada, even though...

Whenever our little Rocco is in his viv he will turn black. I dont mean just a blackbeard, his whole body gets really, REALLY dark. After you pick him up and hold him for like 60 seconds hes back to normal colors and he's very relaxed. Is he just doing it for attention? We cant figure out why he...

~~~~~~~*~*~******UPDATE******~*~*~~~~~~~~~ Took some more pics of Rocco this week. He is nearly 7 inches now! He's starting to act a little funny tho. He's like a little 2 year old! He refuses to eat his veggies (with the exception of babyfood for some reason), doesn't like baths AT ALL, and...

You know you're a beardie slave when you go through your change jar and refer to each dime as a "cricket"!

Phew, thanks for the reply. He is brand new to this house and only around 6-7 weeks old. The ESU is brand new... but I cant find a specs on it ANYWHERE as to the UVB output, or the maximum working range. We had the ESU on the cool side, so it wasnt over on the basking side where he usually...

Sounds good, glad I went for the 40 gallon breeder :)

I walked in my living room and saw my beardie at the highest part of his grapevine jungle, as close as he could get to the crappy ESU UVB linear fluorescent light as he could... and he was shaking like he was shivering. The tank on that side was 78 degrees though..... I read that spasms or...

Welcome to the forums! I am new here myself, just got my little guy 3 days ago :) Out of curiosity... what substrate is that? I have heard some horror stories of impaction caused by small, loose substrate that gets ingested.

First question: What substrate do you have him on? If you just bought him I'm going to assume he is a small guy still, and that being said it is VERY easy for smaller Beardies to get impacted if they have ANY kind of small, loose sand as the substrate. Sand, Crshed walnut shells, anything like...

Thanks a TON! All of that info really helped out, I appreciate you taking the time to answer each of my questions! After hearing this I have decided to go with a 100w Megaray MVB for the hot side to take care of the UVA and UVB, plus the basking spot temperature. Seems like a really nice all...

BTW: LOVE the tile! I cant wait to tile my little guys viv :lol:

Yes therese, take the plastic cover off. Those covers are mainly for shipping and block most of the UVB rays.

Fixed!

Hrm.... pictures aren't working.

Hey all! My fiance and I just adopted a little 5 inch long beardie 2-3 days ago and he is adorable! Can't tell if it is a he/she yet, so I am just calling him a he for now :-P I already posted with all my questions here: http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=92642 So this...
