Yeah i did some reading and found that even if the screen let in 100% of the light it still wouldn't be enough. I went ahead and ordered a Carolina Custom Cages Reptile 46 inch T5 light fixture. It will be longer then my current one and mounted under the screen.

So I just upgraded my bearded dragons enclosure to a 6x2x2. Supposedly the screen on top let's through 80% of the light. I am curious if my T5 HO 10.0 uvb it's okay on top of the screen or should I purchase a lamp for under the screen. The light will be 22 in from the basking spot. Also should...

That is not necessarily true depending on what kind of dead insects you are feeding. Of course, live insects or undoubtedly the best but frozen insects especially if you pre gut load them before freezing are just as good. Now freeze-dried insects have a lot of the same nutritional value as a...

I'm pretty sure your situation has resolved by now but I wanted to give him my suggestion for any others that may run into this issue. One thing I did that has worked extremely well for me and my bearded dragon is that I would buy crickets in bulk. But what I do with that bulk order of crickets...

Ok. So i was having a problem where my Zoo Med T8 ReptiSun 10.0 UVB was mounted. I could not get it close enough to his basking spot because my heat lamp would cover part of the fixture or the center plastic divider on the screen lid causing them to start to warp or melt. So I decided to mount...

Sorry for the slow reply. Didn't get the alert that there was a reply to my question. Anyways that answered the question for me thank you for your reply.

After using crickets then switching over to mill worms and then finally recently switching over to Dubai roaches. I can tell you that Dubai roaches are a superior product. Everything I've read on dubai's is that they are far more nutritious than crickets. From experience I can tell you that they...

Simple question I hope. If I was to start a farm of dubia roaches using five males and 20 females adults how long would I have to wait before I can start harvesting baby Dubai's? And how many could expect after 1 month?

Does anybody else’s bearded dragon sleep like this? I just find it very odd lol

Yeah i will be moving it this Monday. Going to have to go into town and get some new 3M mounts for the light. don,t want to move the basking light to center because that would heat up the cool side to beyond 80f.

Ok well good news. we have done a 180. I followed yalls advice and rearranged his basking spot. I moved his favorite hiding spot to the basking area. Next thing i know he eat more then i ever seen him eat and he has been exploring a bit. He is basking a lot more and seems to like it. I guess all...

Yep I'll get you a picture of the set up when I get off work. Got a few more hours to go.

We warm the house up in the daytime. So temps are not the problem. The basking spot just needs to be raised up a few inches. It's nearly on the bottom of the enclosure. When I first set it up I was getting temperatures well above 115. I just read that juveniles should have a temperature between...

We keep our thermostat set at 65 at night. That back room he's in can fall as low as the upper 50s. That's why I have night time heating. I thought that nocturnal light would be okay because I read on a few sites that those are okay. Now I'm seeing other sites saying they're not okay. Lol. I...

I plan on getting a picture to you as soon as I get home from work. I guess i deleted the one that's on my phone. Anyways that bulb is less than a week old. I do have a ceramic heater on order for night heating. The thing is he's just not using his basking spot and he's hiding. Believe it or not...

No. I would say it is about 14 to 16 inches from the basking spot. I will fix that when I get home. But the problem is he's not going to his basking spot at all unless I place him there. As for him eating he is eating very little. I have coaxed him him into eating a couple crickets but He will...
