    UV lighting & venting advice for 70" wide enclosure

    I am building a 70" x 30" and not sure what the best way to handle UV lighting is. I could have a single 24/36/48 inch tube in the center. Or I can put a single 24/36/48 tube on the same side as the basking spot. And this will leave a large part of the enclosure UV-free if the animal wants to...

    Transferring furnishings between enclosures

    My beardie passed away from unknown causes, two vets believe it was something like cancer or organ failure and don't suspect parasites or infection. I want to transfer a camera and wireless temperature sensor from his cage to another reptile's enclosure. However, since we don't know the cause...

    Pooping blood clots

    I am struggling to type these words out. I did not think I would have to for many more years. But Rufus passed away Sunday night. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :( :( :( :( On Sunday we took him to a second vet who also didn't see anything abnormal with him, other than the black beard...

    Pooping blood clots

    The oral antibiotic is metronidazole. I don't know what the injectable is, he told me the name on the phone but it may as well have been in Greek. IIRC it is something that starts with a C. The only change I can think of is I put one of these little 2" balls in his cage about three weeks ago -...

    Pooping blood clots

    Got the fecal test results, he has pinworms but the doctor said that isn't the problem. I gave the oral antibiotic to him today and he vomited about four hours later. But it wasn't just the antibiotic, quite a bit of bile as well. Doctor doesn't really know what the problem is. He said it...

    Pooping blood clots

    My bearded dragon has had a black beard for a few days and refused to eat any kind of bug (unusual). It's even black while he sleeps. Today I noticed blood in his stool and took him to the vet. They weren't letting any pet owners into the clinic because of coronavirus concerns, I actually had...

    Has any body heard of this lizard harness

    It has been a couple of years since the last time I tried a leash and Rufus hated it, as I mentioned in the previous post. But I decided to give it another try and he didn't mind me putting it on him this time. But he just sits there, won't walk or anything. No signs of stress either but...

    Roach spray question

    I never let Rufus eat wild bugs so not worried about that. But how on earth can I prevent him from licking any surface in the entire room other than by keeping him out of the room? Do I really need to go to that extent? As for looking into the active ingredients, what is the objective there...

    Has any body heard of this lizard harness

    Wow, I have this exact same dog kennel. I guess I'm not the only one who thought that was a good idea for letting reptiles sunbathe. I was originally going to use it for both my beardie and uro but my beardie is so calm when I take him outside. He just sits in one spot and soaks up the rays. My...

    You Know You're a Beardie Owner When...

    You'll smash a wild bug if you see it in your house but you have no problem sticking your hand into a bin full of roaches or worms or crickets to feed your dragon. You might even breed them!

    Roach spray question

    I had to spray some bug spray along the base of a wall in a room that Rufus often has free roam in. The spray will be all dry by tomorrow but do I have to worry about Rufus coming into contact with the area I sprayed even after it is dry? The can says that the spray can continue to kill bugs...

    Beardie is walking funny. Possible MBD?!

    Just an update that everything is fine with Rufus. He is a big boy and is still working through this shed. Lately, about half the time he comes out of the bath he does the same weird walk for a while. Today he had a lot of loose shed and when I misted him he acted like a crazy person. He was...

    Beardie is walking funny. Possible MBD?!

    Watching that video again it really does look like he's trying to rub skin off his belly but he isn't getting traction that low to the ground. Walking on all fours on that tile is no problem for him so I never considered loss of traction. Everything seems pretty normal with him since that day...
