Hi again, During our time of grieving from Bender’s passing, the kind folks down at Chewy decided to make the return process easy for the T5 10.00 UVB HO bulb we purchased and told us we can just donate it to someone in need. We appreciate the kind words and support you all had for our big boy...

Hi all, Prior to our beardie’s unfortunate recent passing, we purchased hornworms from Petco as well as on eBay in hopes of sparking his appetite. They were his favorite. The ones from eBay came small but are growing rapidly and the hornworms from Petco are already 1”- 1.5” in size. There’s...

Hi all, I’m writing to see if anybody has experience with X-rays and bloodwork and could tell me what it looks like, how bad it looks? I’m trying to find closure in knowing that he’s in a better place but I/we can’t seem to get it. We don’t think our vet did him right and could use some other...

Certainly seemed sudden. We are on our way to pick him up for his burial and will ask further questions.

He was 7yrs old. It was hard for them to say what exactly what it was, but the x-ray results did not look good and all that was mentioned was URI/Pneumonia and potentially something with the heart.

Good morning, sadly, we got the call this morning that our big boy Bender has passed away. We know he fought terribly hard and I suppose didn’t want us to see him pass. We are devastated and grieving now. We love you, and will miss you buddy! I’ve posted some pictures of Bender over the years in...

Just got back from the vet for an emergency visit due to the concerns of lack of back leg mobility (and some on/off mouth gaping-breathing) and decided to take some x-rays. Based on the results it looks like Bender has a URI perhaps even pneumonia (along with the dang pinworms). They also...

I certainly appreciate your quick responses! I just ordered F10 and it will come tomorrow.

I have tile down as his substrate. I don’t have any F10 right now but will order. What would you consider safe to use to clean the tiles and glass? I’m so paranoid now I’m overthinking! I sincerely appreciate the help!

Sounds like a plan. The temps do not dip below 65 at night so I can scratch that off the list. I was actually considering getting a 75w basking bulb as opposed to the 100w I’ve been using. I’ll continue to monitor the heat levels. I was researching here that at night I should possibly use a...

Thank you so much! I removed the plastic basking branch as I don’t think he’s able to climb up it right now, and as part of my cleaning up of the tank I might replace it with something else when I go to the store. Right now he only has the log in the basking area. I was thinking about cutting...

I should have also mentioned that his Calcium & Phosphorus levels are in a healthy range based on his blood work. I read on here that ideally dragons want to maintain a 3:1 Ca : Ph range which he is. If that’s the case, this shouldn’t be MBD correct? Can MBD be determined through blood work...

Thank you very much for the reply. I actually just ordered a horizontal T5 fixture and 24” 10.0 UVB bulb to go along with it, it should be coming tomorrow. As far as basking, he has a sort of plastic basking branch that he’d usually climb up on to and bask prior to being sick, the temps check...

Hi! I’m curious to see how your little guy has been? Similarly we just started a dewormer/antibiotics combo and so I’m reading around trying ti understand and see what some can expect. I hope all is well!

Hi everyone! I’m new to the forum but wanted to see what advice you all have to offer regarding an illness Bender the 7 year old male beardie (540g) is going through right now. What I’m going to type is long because I’m not sure how to explain without all the details so I thank you in advance...
