Agreed! It's always good to be cautious and observant of enrichment activities with pets :) and when your dragon poops has he or she ever dragged their tail through it or stepped in it? My beardie has done this so many times which is why I do like giving him very shallow soaks. And yes...

I'm sorry to hear that your little Zen passed in such a tragic way - it sounds like you did everything you could to save him <3 I think supporting them if that makes you comfortable in a shallow bath is a great idea! When I give my beardie a "bath" in his shallow bin the water is just enough to...

I understand and appreciate your concern and agree it shouldn't be that deep - my "baths" are in a shallow bin so the water just touches his underbelly - not enough that he can swim. This allows me to gently brush his femoral pores (my vet recommended this) and if he poops sometimes his tail...

Yes exactly :) I use a shallow plastic bin and fill it up just a bit so they can soak but they just sit in it - not deep enough to swim. My boy hates baths/soaks so I keep them brief like 10 minutes. I use a soft old toothbrush to gently clean his femoral pores and any poop on him if he pooped...

Hi Chilean Taco, Thanks for your response. I usually only bathe him after a poop as sometimes he drags his tail through it. Hmm I'm not sure I want to see him going buck wild on a sock LOL but maybe if I put something like that in his tank it would alleviate some of the frantic behavior. I've...

Hi Chris, Thank you for the advice and that's good to hear that this will eventually subside haha! I actually just took him out and held him for a bit now he is running around. I will try to set aside more time for him to come out throughout the week. Thanks again :)

Hi Chris, I take him out of the tank a few times a week for about 15 minutes - 30 minutes at a time. I have multiple dogs and cats so it is not safe to let him free roam the house. He can run around the kitchen when I put the baby gate up. When I let him run around he is very lively - usually...

Hi everyone! For the last few months, my boy has been in brumation. He has recently woken up in the last week or so and has been displaying frantic and concerning behavior including the following: Black beard most of the day Glass surfing and scratching at the glass doors of the tank Lots...

Perfect thank you :) !

@KarrieRee one more question - since the new tank is going to be 48" long, is the 22" t5 10 reptisun bulb sufficient? Or should I get a longer one that goes the full length of the tank (48 inches)? I will be mounting this on the inside. Thanks again!

Okay that is good to know thank you xp29! So, my beardie doesn’t even want to eat the oxbow at all - I’m having to force feed her 😥she’s not happy about it at all.

Hi Everyone, So my beardie (4-year-old female) had surgery a few weeks ago to remove a mass that the vet believed to be a sarcoma (needle biopsy lab tested). Please see the photos. The vet and I were monitoring it for a month and it kept growing. During the time prior to the surgery, she was...

Thanks Karrie! I appreciate your fast responses here! Picking up my order from Petco today :)

Hi Karrie, I do have a temp gun but not sure how accurate that is - going to purchase a few temp probes today. Thank you! :)

Perfect thanks so much for all this helpful information Karrie! I will be sure to purchase one of those uvbs and mount it on the inside the tank. I’ll also return the solar glo and get a 150w and 75w basking as well as the digital probes.
