Yes it is. One of mine to help him recognize my scent easier. When he smells the same smell from the large hand entering his cage, he’ll know it’s friendly.

Done and done. I measured, and it's just over 12 inches directly over the basking spot - temp at 105-106*F

My apologies for not responding sooner. I was actually running around making necessary changes to ensure his tank was built up correctly the last day and a half. The heat issue was due to a brainfart on my part (I was moving the heat lamps too close together and not noticing the obvious. I blame...

Seems I can't do anything right here. Poor guy... Now I got a new problem: somehow the tank is now too hot. 90 in the cool zone, up to 125 in the basking spot (which I immediately moved away from). Should I change my bulbs to a weaker level so they won't be as hot? Doing so might have UV...

Managed to get the cool side down to 80 with some adjusting, and basking temp to about 108. Basking spot is also a bit closer to the lamp, within the range you suggested. Gonna buy the various greens tomorrow when I get a chance. Kale will mostly go to my meals going forward, though he seems to...

Just got my little Ryu last weekend. He's 4 months old and I want him to have a good life with me. I'm already having troubles with getting him to eat, but I legitimately have no idea why. I've followed all the advice I could from some experts (one guy has owned bearded dragons for over 20...

Hey guys. While feeding my Bearded Dragon (his name is Safi) this morning, I noticed a peculiar bump along his upper chest/ribcage that hasn't been there before. It feels like a rib (maybe broken?) and sticks out a bit while he's moving around, but he doesn't react with pain at all, and doesn't...

Update: Safi seems to be adjusting to his new environment, but now it seems like he's stopped eating, and is constantly hiding either under the log or in his cave. Doesn't want to be picked up, and he hasn't pooped in a while (mostly because he's not eating) Is it possibly brumation? Or should...

I'll make the adjustments, and all should be well. Thanks for the assistance. Safi thanks you especially so. :D

Update Just finished putting together a brand new cage (From 40 to now 120 Gallon), and took both your advice and the advice of one of the lizard experts at Pisces Pet Emporium. He's got his basking area, a nice cooler spot if he needs it, the SunBlaster is all set up so he's getting UVB...

Alright. As soon as I’m able, I’ll look around for a bigger cage. Left bulb is a Zoo Med 150 W basking lightbulb. Middle is a ceramic heat emitter 100 W. Right is a Repti Sun UVB 10 coiled bulb. The temperatures in the cage are 110, 95 and 90-85 respectively (basking, warm and cool areas)...

Here is a picture of his cage. I don't know the exact size, but it's the one he came with from the store (Pisces Pet Emporium)

Hey guys, Rookie bearded dragon owner, again showing his worries about if he's being a good parent to Safi, the Beardie in question. He's just recently turned a year old, and he is my baby. I spoil him rotten, but make sure to do so in ways that don't violate the beardie safety rules. But I...

Safi seems to be doing much better now. He's a lot more energetic than before, and his poop has been healthy.

Hello everyone. Rookie Bearded Dragon owner, one who is concerned about his little Safi, seen here: Recently I've been worrying about wether or not he is possibly dehydrated. I've done the "pinch skin test" before and it takes a moment (less than a second) to shift back. I am familiar...

UPDATE Just got back from the Vet. Turns out I did jump the gun a little bit. It's not MDB, not tail rot, nothing serious like that. It was just an abscess, a liquid build up that, from what the vet can tell, isn't infected or anything serious. She says Angus is perfectly healthy and was very...
