I have a bioactive enclosure and like to add new plants for my dragon all the time. I'm having some issues finding if the Thanksgiving cactus is safe or not for him if he ingested it. I have found that it seems to be safe for dogs and cats, but I can't find information with it and dragons. When...

Out of curiosity, what is the overall thoughts and feelings on feeding wild caught bugs? Specifically locust, horn worms, and cicadas? I have not done this, am just curious as I see a lot of back and forth on it. I understand the risk of parasites, but I feel like any bug has a risk of...

Ok thanks! I'll look into some options.

I have wood! I can make it out of wood instead! Would you still do something like grout it for texture? Or just leave it as is? I was thinking of something a little rough so he could rub against it when shedding.

I want to make a Styrofoam platform and was trying to find out a few things and am getting conflicting info. What type of glue is ok to use and what can I put on it to coat it when it's done? Was thinking of using grout (was suggested to me), but wasn't sure if that was safe or if it had to be...

So at the beginning he was getting calcium with D3 twice a week and I was giving him a multivitamin once a week that I didn't know had D3 in it. So he was getting D3 three times a week. At this moment, his light is 19 inches up and he hasn't had any D3 in almost two weeks. I'm hoping his shaking...

Noted! I have it at 15 inches now so I'll raise it up another 4-5 inches. Thank you!

I am learning how strong the bulb is. The tank is two feet tall. He's is a 55 gallon, but I'm ordering a Zen this week. I have the T5 raised up now and will be raising up more now.

It started as a shiver or quiver, but then it escalated to more of a shake. The UVB is currently 15 inches from him, but it was around 10 inches at first. It's a 14% bulb too so it is really powerful.

The T5 is brand new. I just got it around Christmas. When the shaking first started, it was thought to be a calcium deficiency and I did exactly what you said. I removed the screen and put the bulb closer. He got worse. The bulb is now 15 inches away and I stopped giving him Vitamin D. I am like...

Please watch! This just happened! https://youtu.be/EZGduSmuFAM

Do they shake when scared?? I didn't think lizards could do that

Well that makes me feel better!!! What about the fact that it got really worse when I had the UVB closer and not blocked out and it appears to be getting better now that I changed it back. Do you think that's a coincidence? I wish I could have gotten a video when it was violently shaking, it was...

I haven't been to the vet yet (going next week), but I was told it is a great knowledgeable vet that has a lot of BD patients as well as other reptiles so I think they are good :-)

He is alert and I think he is healthy. He has literally no other symptom. His coordination is on point. He eats, drinks, and poops just fine. He loves free roam time and definitely has his own little characteristics lol. He averages 15-20 grams and about 0.5 inches a week in growth. It's just...

What about in these videos? https://youtu.be/snakLNgeaYk https://youtu.be/cCB7xgQehCg

https://youtu.be/XY3JPaopLDo Here's an example of his trembling. For the most part it's a subtle vibration. Watch at the spikes on his head.

He is a hypo HET translucent. I was originally told it was too little calcium and not enough UVB absorption. So I followed the instructions and added an extra day of Calcium with D and opened the lid of the tank so more UVB could come in. That's when he actually got worse and the shaking was...

Sorry this is so long: My bearded dragon started "shivering" or "trembling". It started about two weeks ago. I am in Texas and went without power for 52.5 hours when that ice storm happened and he lived on my chest the whole time. Not sure if that is relevant to his issue, but wanted to give you...
