Hi! My 8 month old male, Sammy, has went from happily eating dubias, to just waxworms, to nothing now. He literally spazzes out when I try to feed him- running around, glass surfing, etc. I am trying superworms and waxworms right now. No go. He hasn't eaten insects in 3 days now! I gave him a...

Oh mannn.. my Sammy is a crack addict! Dang it.. I will keep trying, for sure. If anyone knows anywhere to buy silkworms, please let me know!

I would love to try silkworms, but can't find them anywhere! :)

Hi! My 1st baby, Sephyra, passed away last year. I got a new boy, Sammy, in March. I was told by the breeder he hatched in Dec. However, he is currently 18" long! Not sure if the age is correct. He used to eat everything moving I put in his tank. Turned his nose up at crickets, so I switched to...

It is a lot of heat, not sure why I can't get it right. The emitter is set to low during the day. I have a digital temp gun now, not sure if I am using it right. By surface basking temp, what do you mean? He basks on the warm side under the lights. I have gotten him to eat phoenix worms, I am...

Sephyra is 2 1/2, male 40 gallon viv, ZooMed T5 long UV light, ZooMed 150 watt basking light, 100 watt ceramic heat emitter. 98-100 warm side, 75-78 cool Eats waxworms, greens daily, other veggies, drinks water by mouth and misted daily- won't eat crickets, roaches, or mealworms since he had...

Thank you. I pray he doesn't actually have MBD, but signs are pointing in that direction. For UV he has the long tube light that goes across the whole length of the tank. Zoo Med 10.0 T5 bulb. His heating/basking light is a 150 watt Zoo Med basking spot lamp. The red light is a 100 watt Zoo Med...

These are a couple weeks old. I will take some new ones tomorrow. He has been having injury issues for several months now.

The bulb is being delivered tomorrow. I am going to get him a ceramic emitter as soon as I can. I will het liquid calcium tomorrow. How is that used? Is it stronger than the powder? I usually use the calcium powder with D3 plus a powder multi-vitamin. I have 2 stick on digital round...

I live in an area with no exotic animal vets. The closest would be 2 hours away in Indianapolis. There really isn't a feasible option. If he did develop MBD, what can I do to reverse it? Is it terminal? As far as the red light, what is so bad about it? I have used one for his nighttime light...

I have a 2 1/2 year old male bearded dragon. He keeps injuring his arms and legs almost constantly. He gets them stuck in his logs, etc and likes to squeeze himself into tight spaces. Right now, his right arm seems broken. It is swollen in the forearm, and the elbow is very swollen and looks...

It's the ReptiSun bulb. I am going to get a couple.of new thermometers to see if the current readings are off. I put multi-vitamin and calcium on his veggies, free-fed daily. He doesn't always eat them, though. I am going to start dusting the mealworms also. He loves the misting, will "ask" for...
