Hmm. I did have Beebz sometimes go at the foam rock wall in his old enclosure as well. In the hide I think it was aimed down at the paper towels I had in there. He couldn't stand up in there even if he wanted to though he barely fit. I always thought when he'd stand and do it, it looked a...

Beebz (our Dragon) does this occasionally, and more often when shedding. He also would do it at night in his hide when getting ready to sleep. I think it's an attempt to burrow as when he had loose substrate he'd do this and end up underneath it. I cut up some old felt-type repticarpet for his...

Right? And to be fair I  do appreciate the beautiful things other people can make. I just don't prioritize it in my own work as it will be ugly anyway. Couple that with aesthetics generally requiring some sort of compromise in durability, functionality, etc and I end up making a lot of ugly...

Thank you. That answers all my questions. I'll probably let it sit in the hall a week and see if I can still smell it. If so I'll seal it and be done with it. I'm not attached to the color looking exactly how it is now. If I'd had my way there would've been no stain but I was assured by...

I think I understand, let me just walk this through. Totally understand this part. If I can smell it, no good. I was concerned there might be some safety issue with an unsealed stain i was unaware of even after it fully cured. Thank you for clarifying that's not the case. This is what...

Yeah but my car is exposed to all sorts of harsh conditions. I don't put a sealant on my interior walls when I paint. I guess my question is it a safety issue for Beebz? Or just a durability issue for my stand? I was able to find an old folding table in the garage so I should be able to...

The alternative would probably be the floor. Which will make things like feeding hard. I don't have another table big enough I don't believe. It's still way too cold for him to have outside time. We've given him 20-30 minutes in the new enclosure to explore and get used to it the last...

I used Varathane Classic. Two full coats and some touchup. I've been running a lot of air over it, the house is only about 70 degrees though so it's not particularly hot. It is super low humidity though, hopefully that works in my favor. I did not use a sealer. My understanding is the...

So I made a stand for Beebz it was stained Saturday with a water-based Low-Voc stain. It stayed in the garage until Monday and I wasn't able to smell anything in the garage so I moved it upstairs. It did stain my hands slightly on Monday so wasn't completely dry. I've had heat lamps on the...

I'm so sorry.

If you increase the light in the outside room it will lessen the reflection. You might be able to add a lamp to the room nearby or something like that.

So glad you managed to get some food in him. Hopefully between that and his UVB he will perk up and start eating on his own. If getting the slurry in the mouth is hard, you might be able to get him to lick it from his lips.

Sorry, fixed the link in my post. Yours is a screen shot so I can't be certain but it looks like this. It shows it has a reflector, and also brackets, that appear to screw to the fixture. If you are able to find the brackets, they may not have a hook for the a lamp holder, but you ought to...

Ah, I see your fixture has no hanging brackets attached. If it's this one, it appears it came with brackets. Perhaps you still have then somewhere? If you got that one the bulb that comes with it is a 12%. Which (if it works properly, it's not a brand that is recommended) is going to put...

Am I right in remembering your new light is a reptisun 10 in a T5HO? If so that 7in is too close. Over the widescreen mesh you divide the 12-15 by 1.33 which puts you at 8-10. Considering your screen looks especially wide I would use the upper end of the range at 10. You can use a pair of...

Good luck tonight, rooting for you guys.

Yes, I reckon he very much doesn't care what pronoun is used by his loyal servants, and was more annoyed I dared lift his tail. And while my Daughter will undoubtedly use this opportunity to give me hard time, she is a good sport and will love her Dragon Prince no less than before.

So for anyone following the Beebz saga there has been a development. Turns out Beebz is a boy. His nightly bed time story (no, seriously, he actually gets a bed time story. Stop looking at me that way) will feature less "beautiful Dragon Princesses" and more "Gallant Dragon Princes"...

I know you said you've tried a lot different insects, but does that include BSFL? The advantage being they wiggle slowly so unlike a roach or cricket you can sit it an inch in front of his nose and back off without it taking off across the enclosure. Just a thought, wishing you the best.

Yes, I have been making that point for a couple weeks now. I was suspicious based on how quickly Beebz has grown, but I wasn't entirely sure we didn't just have a big hungry girl. Beebz is back to her his, ravenous self today. Breakfast consisted of 20 Dubai and probably about as many small...
