Okay so i've got a temp from his basking side and its reading 117 F, which is too hot i know now, so i need to get new bulb that produces less heat? since putting his new UVB light in he seems SO much more active! He's running around again and even ate some worms tonight, he's looking like his...

I've just got a digital temperature probe and am currently taking his temps. He pooped this morning when I put him in the bath. He's roughly 6-7 months, he was a rescue so I cant be sure, when I measured him last week he was 14.5 inches long, and yes they are smaller I always make sure they are...

My partner is currently trying to book him into the vets as I'm working right now, hopefully to get an emergency appointment. His temperatures were fine as far as I was aware, however I have been using a not so trustworthy temperature prone so maybe this is all my own fault, his temps have been...

I went to turn lucios lights on this morning and noticed that he had a really black beard and wasn't very active. i've just gone to feed him his crickets and he's usually super excited about it and will run around the whole tank, last night he did, but this morning he wasn't paying any attention...

Finally managed to get Lucio to have a bath, he's been very skittish lately, I'm thinking it's because he's shedding but who knows. He was happy when he was in there though. I also managed to weigh and measure him and just wanted a second opinion if these are good results for him, given that...

Ooh I'll keep and eye out for those! Thanks for the heads up!! :D

We had a small victory tonight, he let me get him out and bathe him, and then he was happy to sit with me for a little while, he was even reluctant to climb off my hand when I put him back in his tank! He's getting his bug meals twice a day and is always eating a lot of them! Hopefully he is...

This is my new little baby! My first time being a beardie mum! Lucio is 6 months old, or so i've been told. He is settling in very well, eating very well, although I struggle to get him to eat his fruit and veggies, he's just having none of it. He's also a bit skittish, he won't let me hold him...

Is he okay to eat fruit and veggies? I've read that some people leave them in there throughout the day so he can eat when he likes, is there a limit to how much I should put in there? Thankyou for the reply!

Hi! i'm getting my beardie today as a rescue animal and am looking for as much advice as possible. i've been told he's roughly 6 months old. how often should i be feeding him and how many crickets should he be eating in each feed? also silly question but which lights do i turn off at night for...
