He just went to the bathroom, biggest I've ever seen. It followed a roughly 30 minute bath. So relieved!

Interesting, wonder if mine does that too! I'll try to increase the day time by a couple hours. Would you think brumation is the most likely cause here? He's booked in for an Xray in 1 weeks time, just to clear him of any internal issues.

Thanks for your replies so far by the way. Appreciate any advice.

The T8 is mounted horizontally on the inside top of his tank, going from end to end. Night time temp is controlled by a CHE maintaining about 22c overnight as soon as his lights go out. I've put a lot of attention into making sure his setup is comfortable for him. :D

T8 12% w/ reflector replaced every 6 months cool end 26-28c basking spot 40c, measured with digital thermometers

7 Am to 7 Pm. He's tucked away in his den by around 4 Pm though, I don't think keeping the lights on longer would do much when he puts himself off to bed :lol:

Northern hemisphere, England He's was only 8 months old when it all started though, I thought that was too young. It's like his body is still active, but his digestive system is almost stopped..

Hi, My lovely 9 month old beardie has gone an entire month without going to the bathroom. He's been far less active, spending about 50:50 time between his den and the basking spot. He is only eating a minimal amount of bugs (1-2 Locusts each day). His weight has remained constant the last...

Hi, Not sure if it's something I should be concerned about, as it doesn't seem to bother him, but my beardie has had a small white dot on his lower eyelid for a couple weeks now. At first I thought it might be calcium powder, but it hasn't gone anywhere. Does anyone know what it is / whether...

Great, thanks AHBD !

Hi, My beardie as an addiction to dubia roaches. With smaller dubias, he'd happily go through 20 in one sitting. That however adds up to a significant cost each meal. Something I've noticed today is that he is willing to eat larger dubia roaches that have been chopped into an appropriate size...

I'm in the UK too. It's been hot, but that should only affect their temps by a few degrees at most. (23c outside today for reference) Have you tried taking him out for a while / seeing how he behaves out of the enclosure when he does the scratching? It could be that he wants some human...

Hi, As a background, my lovely male beardie is 3 months old as of yesterday. I'm keeping track of his weight + length each week, and today he weighed in at 80 grams, and a snout-to-tip length of 13 inches (!) I couldn't believe it so triple checked. I can't find many resources online to track...

As Karrie said, perfectly normal. Each dragon is different and their shedding cycles reflect this. With such a large shed it can take a few weeks.

Hi, my beardie loves to sleep / rest with his arms folded back as if he's a little dart. Legs too sometimes. I think it's just comfortable for them when they're feeling extra safe.

Sounds like he's a bit close and that lifting his head up for whatever reason would basically touch the bulb?
