I’m sorry I am just now getting back to you it has been a crazy couple of weeks! But yes I fixed everything his poop looks fine, he is walking around more and I caught him digging in the substrate the other day. I am using 50% topsoil and 50% play sand because I researched and found that to be...

I could not figure out how to attach the UVB in the tank without it being in the middle so I placed it on top of the screen. His old UVB was in the tank previously, but it was in the middle.

I have it 12 inches away from his basking spot on top of the screen. I will attach a picture of his screen to see if I need to figure out a way to attach it in his tank. His basking spot is in the right hand corner. I'm not sure you can tell from the picture but the branch goes up to about 12...

Also I have him in a 120 gallon tank but was told to get a 24" UVB light for a 120 gallon tank. Is that the right size? It spans maybe half the tank and the other half is dark so I am looking into putting a household lightbulb in a dome on the other side to brighten it or LED lights, not sure...

Oh no! I thought maybe I was being paranoid! Do you think he needs to go to the vet? I had ordered the new hood, Reptizoo T5 24" UVB light combo kit and bought a Reptisun T5 10.0, 22" to use (instead of the one it came with) which came in last night and changed it out today which is when I...

Hey everyone, I got my bearded dragon 5 months ago from a woman who no longer had time for him and as I was changing out his new UVB hood/light today with what was recommended by members on my last thread, I realized that the old owner did not take off the protective plastic on the hood...

Perfect that is good to know I tried to place everything in a way that gives him different surface levels to climb and bask on but I am glad you told me about the differences in T5 and T8 distances

Thank you so much for these recommendations! I will go purchase one today. I just wanted to make sure I didn't buy the wrong UVB light. And good to know it should not span the whole tank!

OK, thank you so much! I feel so much better!

Perfect! Thank you so much! I will check tomorrow :) is 36 inch the best? Or does it matter?

Thank you so much for the advice! I had no idea I was doing so many things wrong! I am a new to reptiles and I got him about 4 months ago so I have been trying to research as much as possible. I have a 36 inch reptizoo light fixture and use Arcadia T8 10.0. I will try to increase the humidity...

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I have been researching them, but the Arcadia 36 inch tube keeps going out of stock so I figured I'd try something else. Would you mount the T5 inside the tank? I wasn't 100% sure and didn't want to buy in case it would be too much inside the tank. We don't...

Hey everyone! My year old bearded dragon is having issues with shedding. I am currently trying to find a new UVB light that fits my fixture, but have been having a difficult time finding the tube size (inside his tank). He sheds in sections and his tail has only partially shed over the course...

Hey everyone, What are your recommendations for a 120 gallon tank UVB fixture and tube light? I am trying to replace mine and wanted to see what your thoughts were. I keep his UVB inside the tank, so I know he needs a T8, but it has been difficult to find a bulb that will fit my fixture and I...

It is a little cold over by the window, I will try to move him into my room and see if that helps. I will have to wait until someone can help me because that tank is heavy! Haha That makes sense though and I should have thought of that when I set his tank up. I will update you when I move him...

This is Rex, our 1 year old bearded dragon. I have never owned a reptile before and I did not realize how much I would adore him! He is my best friend and I am so glad I adopted him from a friend 3 months ago. (for my son, but we both love him)

It is about a foot and a half away (diagonally) from the window near the marsh. I have his tank on a dresser. Could that be the problem?

I have it a little higher than he is on the log and I am so confused why it takes so many to heat the tank because the house is pretty warm. I may try the halogen bulbs with a new dome / dome hanger to see if that helps heat it better. I had the same issue with my glass tank so it has to be...

The basking bulbs are about 11 inches away from his basking spot and I have the ZooMed digital probe thermometers in the tank because the temp gun was not giving accurate readings. Is his basking spot too far away? I want to figure out a way to attach the heat bulb inside the tank, but I was...

Thank you so much!
