Thank you! I've been giving him a bath every week to 2 weeks, and after that he basks for a bit, then goes right back into his hide. I think I'll back down on lighting by a bit and just keep an eye on him. I'll try to get a weight next time he's out for a bath. Thanks again!
Hi - UVB is Arcadia Pro T5 22" and is hung inside the top of the cage, zip tied to the top. Basking bulb is Zoo Med 100w and is on top of the screen. Temp gun measured temps: cool side 75, warm side 85, basking spot varies from 104-110.
Hi - I've had my (aprox.) 5 YO Beardie since Dec. I have a Zen Habitats 4 x 2 x 2 with proper lighting and I use a CHE at night as my house gets down to about 60 at night. My question is... he appears to be brumating (he's been in his hide 24/7, eyes closed on and off) for the last 3-4 weeks. I...
Additional note - I just read the Brumation article on this site and it's very helpful!!! I have to assume, based on the descriptions in that, that this is indeed brumation. I will keep a close eye on him. Any other info is certainly appreciated! Thanks.
Hi All! I've had my re-homed BD since end of Dec. He is around 5 YO and had a vet checkup in Jan...all good. He really never had calcium, so just last week I started giving him some (dusted his BSFL and salad), and since Saturday he's been acting strange. He's sleeping a lot, and now he's been...
Hi All! My re-homed Beardie had his first vet visit this Monday and it went well. However - she found a little sore in his mouth along his gumline and decided to put him on antibiotcs (Trimethoprim Sulfa Suspension - .13ml once a day). After two doses, half of his beard turned black and stayed...
Thank you, Karrie! Do you have experience with these being quality enclosures? I am looking at one on dubia.com now, but I'm not sure how good it is. I'd hoped to get personal experience from the responses. :-)
Hi All! I was given an enclosure with my re-homed beardie and I hate it. It's huge, wooden, and I don't think it's set up optimally. I'd love to get a new one, so I'm hoping to hear from a few of you about your personal favorite enclosures based on quality, functionality, and not having to spend...
Hi! I just got a Beardie. He's about 5 years old. I got his enclosure, too, but I had to clean out the sand and put tile down, which I did as soon as I got him. He's been hiding under his stone cave for about 3 days (eats only when put in front of him), so I took the cave out today. He is...
