Basking temp is 95-100F taken with a laser thermometer. No stick ons. UVB is a coil compact fluorescent bulb (recently replaced) on top of the tank. Offer salad and fruit every day, but uninterested since adulthood. Will occasionally eat a raspberry or other red fruit. Mostly her diet is...

My Beardie hasnt pooped in about two weeks and seems to be very stressed out. She glass surfs in her cage constantly because she wants out to poop but she only poops a tiny bit. I have been giving her daily baths and giving her olive oil but none of this seems to be working. she is on...

thanks for the good news! that definitely alleviates my concerns

My 3-year-old bearded dragon Spikey has a spot on her tail where she has had a reoccurring scale issue. She gets a spot where it looks like an old patch of shed. this happened about a year ago in the same spot and the patch peeled off with time. when the patch came off, it revealed that she had...

Spikey hates vegetables. I’ve tried them all and all in different ways but she doesn’t like them. What else should I do? My uv bulb was replaced last week.

my dragon Spikey has not been eating a lot lately (possibly an early brumation) so she has not been getting her normal amount of calcium. Some of the scales on her belly have been shedding but only one scale at a time and it seems abnormal. could this be caused by a calcium deficiency? If this...

I have made a concrete ramp for Spikey to help keep her nails filed. Is there anything I need to do to the concrete to make it safe to put in her enclosure. it is just bag mix quickrete and all sides but the top will likely be polished. Thanks for the help!

My almost 2-year-old beardie is not eating her dubias. I feed her 3 times a week and for the past week or two, she has only been eating a couple dubias if any at all. the dubias are medium size, around 1/2 of an inch. She has enthusiastically eaten the "big ones" but I don't want to kill the...

As of now, my girl has a 50-gallon viv with repti-carpet. What is the best way to convert to tile?

sometimes beardies can be hilarious. this is how my doofus dragon gave me a nosebleed. this afternoon, I had Spikey out in the living room to play when she suddenly runs over to me, climbs onto my face (I was lying down on the couch), and sticks her arm up my nose. her arm was up to the elbow...

She usually ignores her Salad. However, she does love fruit so I’ll use more peaches or something. Peaches and berries in general are her favorites. Any other suggestions for making her salad look yummy?

my 1.25 year old beardie used to eat crickets everyday for almost her entire first year. recently, I found a Dubia colony on craigslist and have been feeding her with that. wow does she love roaches! she eats them with passion. However, I got some crickets to change things up and to let the...

dubias! I can now tell everyone I meet that I breed roaches in my garage. :lol: Nutritional benefits aside, they are cheaper in the long run if you can successfully breed them and they don't stink and aren't obnoxiously loud!
