Thanks for the response! Gotcha on the distance - I figured it'd need to be further away since there's no mesh cutting down the UV-B but I'll definitely go off those measurements. It seems like Arcadia is pushing the 14% Dragon bulb for larger enclosures. With that said, I did already pick one...

Hi all, So I've finally taken the plunge and purchased a 4x2x2 enclosure (Zen Habitats) for my little guy that'll be coming this week. As I prep to move him from his current 40 gallon breeder into it, I wanted to make sure I've got everything I need for this larger setup in regard to...

Appreciate the quick feedback - and happy to be back! I’m pretty sure the top mesh is able to have portions of it removed. I’ll have to check when I’m back from work. Otherwise I did order one of those magnetic basking ledges which I could just be sure to have that in the 10-12” range from the...

After years of not having a beardie, two weeks ago I adopted one from a family friend who no longer had time to care for him properly. I’m a bit new to these T5 bulbs and purchased a 36” fixture + Arcadia 34” 39watt T5 12% bulb for my 40 gallon breeder (36x18x18). The basking spot is...

Hey guys just an update: Took Niko to the vet today and they've fortunately ruled out MBD and Respiratory Infection. So I must be doing something right with his lights/habitat. His blood looked fine after they ran tests. They ran x-rays and his bone density and muscles look good but they did...

Tracie, his tongue was swollen last night but as of this morning it's decreased and looks like normal now. Normal size, white spot on the tip and everything. He seems to have more energy though he still seems off-balance and his beard and tail are still black. He won't eat any food either. I...

Also realized his tongue is slowly swelling!

Thanks Esther. It's definitely been a nerve-racking past few hours. Just hoping my little boy is okay. He may have gotten water in his ears but it's hard to say. Maybe some splashed in his ear during a bath but I usually fill it up to about forearms length just to be safe. And as far as...

Oh, and his head is also twitching form side to side.

Today after giving Niko a bath, he spent a good hour or so basking and warming up when suddenly his beard got black and he started having a seizure. He franticly was spinning in circles and bending backwards. He's been eating normally and going to the bathroom too. I've given him a bath...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm really anxious to get this worm now! How long does a 400 tub last you? I'm curious to know how long these will last me until I have to order more. Oh, and she's fully grown and loves her vegetables so I don't think I'll be feeding her as much worms as one would...

Has anyone ever ordered their phoenix worms from these guys? I ordered 400 to try out on my beardie since she doesn't really like crickets that much anyone. I'm curious to know how long it takes for this company to ship? (I live in Chicago)

Those are two beautiful dragons you got there! My little Niko is pretty jealous, seeing that she crawled on my bed and cocooned herself in my comforter :mrgreen: Guess I'll make a quick stop to Wal-Mart today.

Awesome vivs! I'm looking into building a viv to house my current dragon and a future dragon like the ones you've made.

Congrats on the new baby. I find it funny that Howie is actually a girl. I took Niko to the vet the other day for a physical to make sure he's a healthy little boy...turns out the doc says Niko is a girl! I'm debating on whether I want to keep calling her Niko or maybe try Nika, Mieko or Mikah...
