    Arcadia 14% UVB question

    Hey everyone, My beardie is currently in a 40 breeder and I usually use an Arcadia 12% mounted to the inside of her tank lid which is about 10 inches from her usual hangout spot. However it came time to get a new bulb and all I could find was a 14%. They recommend 17" from the basking spot but...

    Help! Beardie rolling over and doesn't use back legs

    Hey guys, This will be a semi long post so bare with me here. I got a baby beardie about 2 months ago. I was told he was about a month old (although I now think he was older than that). He has always been small for his size and didn't eat very well the first month. We found out he had pinworms...

    New bend in tail

    Hey guys, So I got my little guys parasite situation handled finally and now he has finally started growing! He eats about 50 to 60 dubia a day now (much better than the 5 or 6 he was eating). He finally got his first big shed too! However right after his first shed I noticed that the end of...

    Undersized and underweight

    Hey guys, The first month with my beardie has been a struggle (as you can tell by my post history lol). This weekend had me really worried as he stopped eating and got lethargic. I took him to the vet yesterday and found out that he tested positive for protozoa and pinworms. He took his first...

    Worried about my baby beardie

    So it's been about three weeks since I brought my baby beardie home. He still isn't eating like he should be. Some days he will eat 15 or 16 small dubias, some days it will only be 5 or 6, rarely he won't eat any. I know he is going through some major relocation stress (his staple feeder has...

    How to get baby to eat multivitamin dust?

    My little guy hates the stuff. I'm using rep-cal herptivite and anytime I dusty his BSFL he won't touch them. Any other way to get them to take a multivitamin or is there another brand to use?

    Shedding isn't progressing?

    I got a baby about 2 weeks ago, he had some shed that looked like it was his back starting to shed right at the base of his tail and it was lifting. However after 2 weeks it's barely progressed at all. Nothing else has shed except for a few flakes near the corners of his mouth. Is this normal or...

    When to take new beardie to the vet?

    How early on should I take my baby to the vet? I'd like to take him and just get him a general visit and a fecal test done. He's still in the process of some serious relocation stress so I wasnt sure if I should do it now or wait until he has sort of settled in.

    Is this beardie poop normal?

    This is the first one he has taken that has looking like this, the urate was separate from the poop. The urate was a bit harder than normal (sort of crusty I guess, it broke apart easy but was hard) and the poop had sort of of different color on the end. It was a little smellier than usual...

    Anything else I can do to help my little guy?

    So I got a month old baby on Monday. He seems to be in good health, he is very alert, and likes to run around from time to time. The issue is he is dealing with relocation stress (I think), beginning to shed, and won't eat very much. The store (reptile store) had him grazing on meal worms (I...

    Switching to another staple for a baby?

    So I just got my baby (a month and a half-ish) and the shop that I got him from was feeding him x-small meal worms. Now I know that this is a no go so I have been switching him to crickets. The first day (Monday) he ate about 15 crickets, yesterday he wouldn't eat any, and I'm been trying to...

    Basking flood light

    So I bought a zoo med 75w basking bulb for my 20l ta k for my baby and it doesn't seem to get hot enough (waiting on temp gun to be delivered). I went out and got some indoor/outdoor flood lights to try. I think a 75w would likely work well. Now the par38 bulbs I got say 90w equivalent but it's...

    Opinions on this basking platform?

    So I'm getting a juvenile leatherback tomorrow and he's going to start in a 20 long tank until he is bigger. I found a sweet deal on a 5'x2'x2' Viv and I jumped on it. My only question is the previous owner built a basking platform in it that seems pretty high up to me. It sits about 14 inches...

    UVB lighting setup question

    So I've been doing hours and hours of research the past few weeks to make sure when I get my beardie I can make sure everything is setup right. The last thing I need is a good UVB light setup. My first question is size. I know it needs to be approximately 80% of the enclosure. I'm getting a...
