Thanks for the invite! I'd take her on vacation with us, except for she'd need a moving van for all her stuff, the girl does like her regular digs....I'll do as you suggest with the MVB.

Zeus is 3 years old, and pretty big, around 600 grams. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed she was keeping her eyes closed. A friend kept her while we were on vacation (Zeus stayed in her own viv, with her own lights, regular food, etc.) Shortly before we left for vacation, her MegaRay burned...

I am glad to hear you wrote ZooMed. My Megaray burned out before I had a chance to order another. I bought a PowerSun 100 at Petco as an emergency measure (85.00). Just a few days later Zeus started closing her eyes and becoming lethargic. I did some research here, and, as a result...

As to the vinegar and water, it's like 10% white vinegar and the rest water, and yes it smells a bit, but you rinse/wipe down with plain water until you can't smell it anymore. It will clean the glass, not great, but OK.

Newspaper is what Zeus uses. I line her cage with large pieces of newspaper, then cut additional newspaper in half to lay on top. That way, when she poops, I don't have to move a ton of cage furniture to clean it up but just a smaller piece of newspaper. She's done great with it. (She gets...

You know you're living with beardies when: (a) You are obsessive about keeping newspapers clean and flat. After all, your beardie might trip on a wrinkle! (b) You sit in the bathroom reading a novel while your beardie splashes around the tub and you run just a teeny bit of warm water every 2...

I've posted a few times on this forum and all have included Zeus, age 2, not eating greens. Today, about an hour after she got up, I was putting a drop of water on her nose because I was concerned about hydration, when she looked at me in disgust, marched over to her bowl, and CHOMP! ate a...

Zeus won't eat greens, is on an antibiotic, and I worry about hydration. I read here to dilute 100% juice and put a drop on her nose with a dropper for her to lick it off. She won't do that either. Just clamps her mouth shut and if I persist in trying, makes a big deal about moving away from...

We just trim Zeus's nails with reptile nail clippers we bought at the pet store. Just take off a small amount. We were scared at first to do this based on the nightmare we always had trimming our dog's nails (we eventually gave up on that and had the vet do it). But Zeus was fine. It's like...

I am a new member. I've read here wonderful advice. But maybe I'm trying to make too many changes at once? Am I causing her stress? I read about discontinuing the coil UVB, and replaced that with a 100 watt MVB this weekend and built a bigger basking platform. The temps aren't quite right...

Thanks for everyone's welcome. I am a bit obsessive about pets - so I am sure I will be asking lots of questions!

So Zeus is her name, actually HIS name. He's 2 years old. When my daughter first got her she was tiny. Someone at a reptile show told her she was a female. Later on her first visit to vet, they said no, actually a male. But by that time we'd gotten used to calling her Zeus, and the "her"...

I have Zeus, a 2 year old male. He had a artificial tree branch under one of the coil UVB's. I read in this forum to lose the coil UVB immediately and also that he needed someplace to stretch out (he's pretty big, around 21"). Cage is glass acquarium 46" long x 17 "wide x 18" high. So, I got...

Hi, I am trying to re-do Zeus's cage to be more like yours. What holds the flat slate basking site up? How did you get it stable? Did you have to have special tools to cut the slate? Also on the logs - are they natural logs? And if so, how do you clean up poop? Sorry for so many questions...
