I have an Arcadia fixture set up and the readings from my solarmeter are good throughout her tank (except in her hide). She gets UVB easily enough on the floor, but she climbs well enough to get more if she wants to. I have a long sling set up as a kind of "ramp" to get up to the basking spot...

How do I tag someone?

This clip was taken a couple weeks ago, but she's still walking exactly the same way now. She can still move her right leg, but doesn't like putting too much pressure on it.

My beardie Pogo fell off a windowsill a little over 2 months ago and has been walking with a limp ever since. I took her to an emergency hospital within days but the x-rays they took didn't pick up any fractures. Since they didn't notice anything wrong, they told me that the limp was probably...

With how my fixture is shaped, I'm not sure this method would work quite as well. That's a good point though about not having to open the top anymore. I can probably rig up something similar with clamps and wire to hang it from the mesh.

I recently upgraded to a 4x2x2 enclosure from Carolina Custom Cages, and for the first time I'll be mounting the UVB fixture inside of the tank instead of on top of it. It's not immediately clear how to do that however, so I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has a similar setup. The UVB...

That could be it. Thanks! If she's this active when it's this cold outside I guess I should be happy anyway. Guess I'll just need to stay alert to save my poor carpet lol

I'm not too concerned yet since this has happened in non-health-threating situations before, but I want to know the reasons for it and if there's a way to avoid it. I keep track of my beardie's behavior in a journal, and her pooping schedule has gotten so unpredictable recently. I would say...

Thanks Karrie! Her poop is pretty regular, nothing changed there. She DOES have a hide, but she almost never uses it, even when she's active. She usually likes to sleep either in the open in her tank or somewhere around my room. Should I place her in her tank or just let her sleep wherever? I...

My Pogo has brumated twice since I got her as a baby with no issues, but I'd appreciate some advice anyway just for ease of mind. Also to confirm that she is, in fact, preparing to brumate rather than some other problem. The past few weeks she's been hanging out in the cramped space between...

I have to relocate from California to Virginia for work and somehow safely bring my dubia colony along with me. A lot of time and effort has been put into maintaining and breeding them, and I would rather not start over from scratch. My car is gonna be pretty full with mine and my beardie's...

Hi all, A few weeks ago, my vet told me to get the T-Rex brand "Calcium Plus Food for Crickets" to feed my dubias, only it doesn't seem like they're eating much of it. I was gone all weekend and when I got back there seemed to be almost the same amount of pellets in their bowl as when I left...

I don't intend to feed the beetles regularly, just this one since I happen to have it. But do you think its previous styrofoam diet would still be harmful to my beardie now? Or is weeks on a normal diet enough to flush the styrofoam from its system?

I recently watched this video about the ability superworms have to digest styrofoam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS9PWzkUG2s For fun, I used just one of my beardie's worms to try it out as an experiment. I put the worm in its own separate container and fed it nothing but styrofoam and some...

Hmm, that filter is a bit pricey for me right now, but if I'm going to be living in SoCal for a while it might be a worthwhile investment. Thanks!

My building is still standing! No fire damage, although it still smells like smoke outside. I don't own any type of filters, but I will definitely clean out her viv before putting her back in. I'm still worried about both of our health, but it looks like the situation isn't as bad as I'd feared.

My beardie Pogo and I live in the Thousand Oaks area where there were recently several enormous brush fires. Just today I got notice that the evacuation orders were lifted and it's ok to return, although it's recommended to wear N95 particulate masks because of all the smoke and ash. The mask is...
