I never thought about using those! I feel like reptile-branded domes are just so low quality.

Would he really be okay in a 20 gallon? I just felt bad because it's for an entire week and he won't be able to free roam in the Airbnb.

We're going on a week-long vacation in a few months and I have no choice but to take my ~10 month old boy Goetta with us. I've been scouring the internet for ideas on travel enclosures, but I'm seeing a lot of mixed responses. One option would be a large storage bin, which I already have one...

We didn't do any blood work because he felt pretty confident it wasn't gout. If we don't see improvement then I guess we'll do a panel.

We just left the vet and he doesn't believe it's gout. He's pretty positive he's developed some sort of infection because he can see and feel it starting to move up his leg. We've got him on ceftazidime. I'll update as we go in case this thread could help someone in the future!

The UVB is 10 inches from the top of his nose when he's on that decor. I'm cutting the dubia completely for the next week.

He's been heavily fed dubia roaches. I had heard they could cause gout but I assumed it was only in older beardies that spent a lifetime eating them. I've got some tart cherry extract I'm gonna put on his salad. He just finished a body shed and is about to start another tail shed. He gets...

Goetta is about 5ish months old. He's very active, eats well, and poops well. I noticed last week he had what looked like a swollen toe. Today I was examining him after his shed and I noticed a size difference in both his back legs. At first I thought his leg was swollen so I started freaking...

Yeah the UVB light is in the proper position.

I've had Goetta since November 2nd and it's been a whirlwind. He's still a lil baby and he had some pretty gnarly parasites which caused him to stop eating. While being treated I've been syringe feeding him oxbow crit care with a bug slurry to keep him nourished. He's made a tremendous recovery...

Oh my god wait is that real? The timeline would line up with when I put the camera in there. It's worth a try for sure. I do think he is actually sick with something, but the camera may be having an affect on his stress levels!

She was never ever to walk from birth because her back legs didn't function at all. And when she started producing her first clutch, her right side was producing eggs fine but her left side wasn't at all. Then I noticed the eggs were actually forming INSIDE her thigh. Her reproductive system was...

I can try running a spare lower watt bulb in my left lamp to see if he perks up a little. Something's making him want to avoid the basking area so I need to figure out what's spooking him. My last girl left in such a traumatic way that this little man has me worried sick. I have a camera in his...

She had a disability that affected her reproductive organs not forming properly and was unable to pass her first clutch of eggs. She wasn't sick that I know of. I took him to a vet yesterday and he thought it could be parasites but we're just waiting on him to poop.

No it's just like a little unit that sits there. I don't know how to describe it lol. And I did move the uvb higher recently cause I was scared it was too close and was overwhelming him. I might move it a tad bit higher and see if it helps him want to venture onto his perch again.

I got him November 2nd, so not long at all. He was really amazing and active that first week but then he just changed. It doesn't feel like a stressed out beardie, he seems ill and that's why I'm so scared lol. I got him from PetSmart(which I said I'd never do but I was grieving my late beardie...

It's in the reptisun hood. And I've been using the thermpro tp49 to measure temps and humidity.

I'll just copy and paste from my other post "He's under a fresh t5 10.0 bulb. His temps range from 92 to 110 on his hot end/basking area, to 75 on the cool side. At night it sits around 70-75 depending on if our heater kicks on. The humidity has been sitting at about 25%-30%" I'm not using a...

I posted the other day about my new beardie gagging. I took him to the vet and he thinks he might have parasites. He weighs 8 grams. He hasnt eaten in 2 days so he hasn't pooped yet to be able to do a fecal. I had some crit care from my last girl so I'm trying to give him a little of that...

He's eating small crickets, Dubia, and calcigrubs. It's inside the tank but I'm actually worried I have it too low. My girl that recently passed away was disabled so I had the fixture a little lower. I'm gonna raise it up in a bit and see if that has any affect on him. He still hasn't made the...
