the buyer of Orion said he is going to get the reptisun 10.0 so thats good news. the other good news is today when I woke up and the light was on in his crib, he was not in his corner, but was on the large floor on the left side of tank. he hasnt been there in a few months so thats good.

yes and again the store that sells the reptisun 10.0 said the light doesnt matter and ' dont believe much of what you read on forums' haha. I gave her the whole story of whats been going on with Orion over the last 3 months or so and she called up at home a co-worker who is the in store reptile...

Decently good news today. I got some butter worms for Orion and he ate them pretty well. then I tried a medium-large roach and ate that right after the 3 butter worms. but didnt want a 2nd roach lol.. oh well.

still not eating but yesterday he did eat some romaine hearts with some pellets and calcium on top. he looked at a roach I was holding today for a few minutes but didnt bite. so I gave up. I tried the other day putting him in the feeding bin with 15-20 roaches in it and he just jumped out after...

I told him he should get the reptisun long tube light from a store in this city. he is ok with that. But what i want to know is the dragon ok without any UV light for the next few days until he buys it on saturday?

I think so. the guys seems nice and friendly. But as far as the lighting goes, is there a reason why he still tries to hide even when the UV light is off? not used to it yet? and will he be fine for a few days more until he buys the reptisun light saturday afternoon

I tried a test today. I left the UV lamp off (the old reptiglo one) and left the heat lamp on. He didnt come out and when i placed him on the basking area he stayed there for about 5-10 minutes then went back into his corner. I tried to see if the UV lamp off made a difference but seems it...

ya ill give it a go.. keep you posted

thanks, Ill see what I can find. I will have to go for the bulb style because I only have a 10 inch hole at the top for the light to go through (not using mesh or screen). SO the long style tube light wont fit. ya again today I took him to the landing area and looked at the roach in my hand for...

"Please remember too that pet stores will do anything they can to make a sale. We have heard a LOT about pet stores giving inaccurate info." Funny. I am using a reptiglo and when I went in to a pet store the owner said stick with it and didnt want to sell me the reptisun lamp. said its not a...

just tried feeding him now... been about almost a week since last eating. I pulled him up and sat him on the heating platform from the bottom dark corner. I got a roach in my fingers and he looked at it for about 2 minutes then made an attempt to grab it... it didnt make it and the roach fell...

Using a 26 watt repti glo UV bulb. the round kind. (yes I know I have read about people against these but the local pet store told me its fine even after saying I want to buy their reptisun brand one) its about 6 months old now so needing to change soon. and the dragon can get about 11-12...

So I have a dragon about 10-12 months old. Seem pretty healthy overall. But every since about december its been moping around alot and somewhat on and off his food. since the new years its been just wanting to find a dark corner of the habitat and lay there.. sometmes with its front arm bent...

i use a CHE on the inside attached to the top of the bin. seems to do the trick.

nice set up. so they are good at finding food? I feel if it put the food in a shallow bowl they cant get in there
