I have a vet appointment first thing in the morning tomorrow and I have no idea how to get the fecal sample properly. There's really not much online and some conflicting info. She only poops every 4 or 5 days in her cage and by the time I get home, her poops are too dried up to test, so I will...

I have been recommended F10 a lot for deep cleaning. My question is, does it kill coccidia. I have done lots of research and haven’t found any actual testing done. Has anybody tested if F10 kills coccidia? Or does anybody know for sure if it does? I know it will probably kill the other common BD...

I am getting ready to deep clean Ash’s cage for the first time and have been looking for a disinfectant. Recently, I have been reading a lot of posts that say that the pink concentrate disinfectant from beardeddragon.co works really well. I think they got rid of it because now there is only the...

Ash has had stuck shed for about a week and it hasn't been coming off. I have been giving 5-10 min. baths every other day and dripping water on her skin to moisturizing it. I goes from her neck to the start of her tail. It is really starting to concern me and I hope it doesn't start to constrict...

I live in the SLC area and recently went to a vet near me to get a physical done on my new beardie. It was not a very good vet, and so I have been researching on other vets in my area. The ones that came up on google did not have good reviews (especially from beardie patients) so I did some more...

So, I had a zilla slimeline fixture and I read that the zilla bulbs weren't good so I went to Petco and bought a reptisun 10.0 for way too much (I wanted it asap). I also bought a florescent fixture from Home Depot to mount inside her cage with command painting hooks. The edges of the bulb are...

I got a Reptisun 10 from Petco a few weeks ago and mounted it inside her cage with a fluorescent fixture rated for the same wattage as the bulb. The edges of it are dimmer than the middle of the bulb. I thought it was normal at first, but now I am starting to worry about it because she has been...

I just came back from the vet with Ash. I could tell that the vet didn’t have that much experience with reptiles, but they did say that she seemed like she was just fine. They did do a good physical, but when it came to health and stuff, they had no idea what they were talking about. I decided...

I have a 3 month old beardie who I am pretty sure has parasites. (from Petco, never doing that again) Anyways, I am going to the vet tomorrow morning to do a physical and then they are going to have me collect a fecal sample if they think she has parasites. I have never done this sort of thing...

Ash is only 3-4 months old and I have cut her nails once before with no problem. Today, I decided to trim them again, and I cut a little too deep and now her nail is bleeding. I am so worrried it is going to get infected or something. WHAT SHOULD I DO? PLEASE HELP!!! Update: the bleeding...

For the past couple of weeks, my beardie has been scratching at her substrate inside her hide. As you can see from the pictures below, she scratches A LOT. This is only after like 2 days. I have to replace the paper towels inside her hide every couple of days. Why is she doing this? Is there...

I have a Zilla desert 50 uvb bulb for me beardies tank. I got a new tank that was bigger, so the uvb went from about 8 inches above her to 12 inches above her. I have seen people do testing, and that bulb loses effectiveness when it is farther that 8 inches. So I used a fluorescent fixture to...

After posting my last thread about uvb, I received feedback that my uvb bulb is too far away from my beardie. I recently read the lighting guide and saw that the screen filters out uvb too, so she defiantly isn't getting enough uvb. I am using the Zilla T8 desert 50 slimline fixture with the 15...

Ash has been eating about 10 medium (5/8 inch) dubias a day. I am ordering more in a couple of hours and I think I might get 3/4 inch dubias instead. The distance between her eyes is almost exactly 3/4 inch. From my experience when I order Dubias, there are often some that are a little bigger...

Here is a picture of my new setup that I just moved Ash into. It is a 50 gallon National Geographic reptile sanctuary (Got on sale at Petsmart for $125!!!), a few decorations, food bowl with juvinile BD pellets, water bowl, 75W basking light inside Flukers mini sun dome, Zilla desert 50 T8...

I just moved my beardie from a 20 gallon terrarium to a 50 gallon one. She has the Zilla slime line fixture (with the clear plastic removed) , but it is like 12” inches from the basking spot and 18” from the ground. Is that to far? I was kind of considering getting a reptisun 10.0 because I read...

My beardie used to poop every day in his inclosure, but then I changed his basking rock and his substrate to tile and he only poops when I give him baths every 2-3 days. Maybe the big changes stressed him out or something? Anyways, should I keep bathing him every 2-3 days or do it every day to...

Bruce (my BD) is about 4 months old, and I have had him in a 20 gallon terrarium that I got from a friend for about 2 weeks. I hate having to take off the top anytime that I want to do something inside his cage and I want to save money down the road, so I am buying a large 45 gallon exo terra...

I know that you need to let your beardie bask after you eat, but somebody told me once that they let theirs bask before eating. I looked it up and couldn't find anything. Is basking before eating necessary?

I got my bearded dragon a little over 2 weeks ago from Petco. I forgot to ask how old he was though. (They probably wouldn't know anyways) Here is a picture of him next to a 6 inch ruler, so he is about 12 inches long from nose to tail. He eats a diet of 30-40 small Dubias a day and he has been...
