Hello, I have recently experimented with Phoenix worms/BSFL/Calciworms... I had ordered some from a local breeder many times in the past but one time in particular, the worms were double the size/thickness and the breeder didn't know why. Through research I found a source online that explained...

It's usually spontaneous when he does it so I'll attempt to snag a video. No black beard or flaired beard. He did open his mouth the one time when he went to headbutt. I'll post here again if I can get a video :-) thanks!

Hello. I let my beardie Fred free roam the upstairs of my house (I block off stairs, behind TV etc) and often times my dog will follow him around when he's out. There has been a few times I've noticed though that Fred will hop out of his terrarium, run right up to my dog, and headbutt him. At...

Bump

He actually just started to shed yesterday in the area but the clogged nose has been there for a few weeks. Thanks for the input!

Hello, My beardie Fred has a clogged nose for a little while now and am wondering what might be causing it. I've read online issues with shed getting stuck but he hasn't shed in a while so I dont think its thats. I'm mostly concerned about a potential respiratory infection. I will take him to...

Just over 2 years old, Reptisun 10.0 t5, basking temps are around 96 - 100, cool side around 80ish. Very sudden change in behavior such as not eating butter worms (which he's always loved) sleeping more, etc.

Hey, My beardie has been hiding a lot more recently and not eating. Its starting to get colder at night and darker earlier. Is it too early to start brumation? Dan

Hello My beardie Fred has been having runny/mucusy stools for a while now and I need to get to the bottom of it. I have sent in a fecal sample which came back negative for parasite. He does not like crickets at all so his main source of protein has been horn worms and I also provide salads...

Hey! I am building a 4x2x2 custom Melamine enclosure for my beardie Fred. I am going to cut vent holes in the sides (1 up top on the hot side and one lower on the cool side) and I am wondering about vent dimensions for retaining heat, providing adequate airflow, and managing humidity...

Hey! My beardie is 1 year 3 months old so this is all new to me. Just need some general information and also to ensure it is actually brumation and not signs of some sort of illness... A couple weeks ago my beardie (Fred) started hiding a lot more in his house and stopped eating as much. I...

Hey CooperDragon. I take my temps with.. https://www.amazon.ca/Zoo-Med-Digital-Infrared-Thermometer/dp/B0053Y6IPE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1516385165&sr=8-3&keywords=reptile+temp+gun I brought Fred to the vet today and so far he seems healthy enough. He still isn't eating very well so the vet has...

So I made a makeshift temp platform/ramp to try out a 75 par38 flood light from about 15 inches away and the temps were only reaching 84 degrees. I don't understand why the temps are so low when you were getting 105 from a greater distance... Is the 15 watts reall the difference of 20 degrees?

Alright... hopefully last questions so I can stop bugging you... I see there are different kinds of the PAR38 flood lights. Is there a specific one I should be using? I know not to use coloured ones but otherwise just figuring out the wattage? AHBD mentioned that my beardie may spend too much...
