Hi there! I just saw this comment now so I apologize it's so late. temps seem to be good - stays around 81-82 with a basking spot of 103-106 on the wam side, 74 on the cool side. He still seems to have some black lines/stress marks and I wanted to pop back into this post as I noticed the other...

He's 3-4 years old, somewhere in that range, so he gets bugs (dubias, BSFL, etc mix) just 3 times a week and then salads every day. How long do you think I should give it before I worry about it being something else? I know it could just be he's still getting used to me, the tank, etc so maybe...

Mounted on the inside along the back - it is a reptisun T5 hood. The girl I adopted him from in November said she had just changed the bulb so shouldn't be due for a change for a bit. I feel if I try to get his ambient temps up more he'll end up with his basking spot being too spot since it sits...

Hello all! I am back with more questions. My guy was moved into a 4x2x2 tank at the beginning of January, and I adopted him end of November. Lately, I have started to notice that he's been having more random poops that I wanted to ask if they were normal. For example, he did a GIANT poop this...

here's a pic of his pores (sorry it's scuffed, easiest way with one person haha). Any recommendations where I can buy stone? Not sure where i'd find any outside.

This is mostly a question for ideas to help play with him to get some energy out. My beardie Kovu is a 3-4 year old male (unsure exact age) but recently he has been VERY active. I swapped him to a 120 gallon last Sunday. He's wall climbing, glass surfing/hitting his nose on the glass, when I'm...

Should I avoid the dimmer then? And do you have a recommendation for any different bulbs maybe or lamp stands? I feel like a 125 watt bulb would probably get my temps to the right spot without a dimmer but I couldn't find one. I will go this weekend and look for a chicken brooder dome!

Here's a photo from above - I mounted inside due to distance and didn't want the mesh to block rays. I'm planning to get a bigger Flukers dome when I get the bulb (these domes aren't rated for over 100 watts), as long as its ok to use a dimmer with them and the bulb. I don't currently have...

Here is a photo of my enclosure as well if anyone has any feedback - the hammock in the middle has been since covered with an old T shirt to prevent his foot or toe from getting stuck. The paper towels will get switched to safe loose substrate soon as my cat peed in the mix I was previously...

Hello! I recently purchased a dubia 4x2x2 tank and I am working on making sure everything is perfect for my guy. I previously used a Reptisun basking bulb and dome at 75 watts in the 40 gallon he had and it got the right temps and everything. Right now, I have a 100 watt basking bulb and it...

Hey! i ended up just putting it the tank and going to let it dry out before I put him in.

Hey guys! Sorry to bring this post back up - I'm about to do the substrate mix in the tank and the top soil and playsand seem a bit wet/damp to me - is it still ok to use it like this?

Awesome - thanks guys! Just wanted to make sure I didn't need to add water or anything.

Hi all! I'm looking for some help as I'm confused with how to do loose substrate for my beardie. I'm getting my 4x2x2 this weekend and wanted to use loose substrate as my beardie is on non adhesive shelf liner and I want to give him more enrichment. However, I'm a little confused atm with if...

For getting a poop sample? I was going to try and catch one and if I don't get one I'll just pass on the recheck for now.
