Responding to this thread as I am having issues with Femoral Pores too. My new Beardie, Bob is a rescue. He was found in a park in a box (left to die in the cold basically) 2 weeks or so back. He's been with me for a week now. He was pretty skinny, has signs of early MBD (no twisted limbs or...

Hi Tracie, thanks! I'm thinking probably a Arcadia 100w Solar combined with a Microclimate Pulse B2 600W Hi Temp thermostat. I do have a 2nd hand Habistat dimming thermostat here, but it's not a high temp one and I have no idea how old it is and if it's still functioning well. For the timers...

Thanks very much. Attached are pics of where the build is. The box is much higher spec wood than you get in the shop bought ones and it has a nice polished external finish. He's made the walls and structures with polystyrene coated in cement. I'm not sure if he has also used a sealant, but if...

How do I upload pics on here? I can add a few of the current progress of the build to give a bit of context.

No all that stuff is easy. But my previous set-up was pretty basic and I just used a temperature gun to ensure that the viv temps were within an acceptable range. For this build I'm going high spec and I don't mind spending a bit of money on it. I'd ideally like to be able to regulate and...

Thanks. Yeah, most of the vivs over here come with the lights inside rather than hanging over a glass tank. It's a much better set up for many reasons. That part is pretty easy. It's just a case of installing fixtures for a bulb for the basking area, the UV strip and additionally, possibly a...

Allergies are a funny old thing and can come on at any point in life out of nowhere. My mother had a very severe allergic reaction having been bitten by my sisters pet rabbit and ended up in hospital. Cats and dogs had always made her sneeze but she'd never had a reaction like this before. She...

Adopt a rescue dragon would be my advice. My new little pal Bob was left in a box in a park here in the UK and it's the middle of winter. He's lucky to be alive cos the temperature on the day he was left was probably less than 5 degrees C. He's also got mild MBD (he tries to run around my flat...

This isn't that uncommon. My previous Beardie Tony used to brumate for a 2 to 3 months every year but he wouldn't be fast asleep the whole time. He'd come out for a drink and we'd offer him salad which he'd occasionally take. There have been points when I thought he was coming out of brumation...

Thanks Karrie, but I'm really looking for an option that looks a bit more authentic. I'll add some pics when I have them but he's done a really good job of building and painting grey stone effect structures and walls. What I really want is something that looks like a sand floor and doesn't come...

I'm an experienced Bearded Dragon owner, although my ex got my last Dragon Tony when we divorced :(. I've taken in a rescue this week. Some ***** left him in a park in the cold in a box to die. The reptile rescue place called him Bob cos he literally doesn't stop head bobbing. It's a peculiar...

Thank you. It's good to see someone else on here with a sensible, balanced opinion. Clearly you have taken the time to study all of the facts. It's also important to note that in an adult dragon, impaction is typically not something which happens overnight. It's normally gradual process...
