Also because he has pinworms should I not let him roam around my house? I've read some stuff that says he can't spread them to humans (is that true) but also wondered if that would be a way he could reinfect himself?

I was wanting to get thoughts on Salmonella. Bondi loves to run around outside his enclosure but I'd be lying if I didn't get a little worried that he could be spreading Salmonella around my house. He doesn't get on the furniture but he does run across my rug and sometimes over a pillow or a...

I have used zoo med wipe out in the tank and flukers cleaner on his bridge and cave. Can I use the wipe out on the other items too? He is the proper distance from his UVB and do you mean I can clean the wood items with wipe out too? He might eat a bug or two and won't even touch greens...

I use a 10.0 t5 UVB from zoo med. Its mounted inside his tank. His basking spot is around 96-99°, ambient temp on warm side around 80° degrees, and cool side with hide around 74°. Lately I've had to keep a water bowl in his enclosure so the humidity stays above 20% (usually between 25 and 30%)...

He is somewhere between 13 and 15 months. He slept for about 2 and a half months. I was worried it was a bit early but he seems to be doing ok.

He is somewhere between 13 and 15 months. The person we bought him from wasn't totally sure of his age.

I was just curious what is a safe/healthy amount of time for Bondi to be out from under his lights in a day. I like to take him out so he can wander around but worry about him getting to cold or having time during the day without his uvb. He isn't really a snuggly dragon so most of the time he's...

Hello Everyone, I thought I'd reintroduce myself and my little orange guy. When I originally joined this group I had a baby beardie named Oz. Sadly he died shortly after we brought him home. We brought Bondi home pretty soon after. We've had him for a year now. He is still pretty timid but...

Hi all. I need to clean a fiber hammock, cork wood, and a log hide. I had a bearded dragon for two weeks that sadly died (I tried to save him). He was a pet store baby. I'm not sure what he was sick with but am wanting to disinfect the above mentioned items. Can I boil them? Should I bake them...

I did order them online through chewy. But they are for sure safe to feed to a new dragon if we got one or to sell to someone else? Even if he had ADV? I obviously can't be sure of that but its what I was thinking.

Thank you for the kind words. I almost cried again reading them. I'm sure we will try again I'm just super hesitant now to buy from a pet store. I do have a question about all the feeder insects I have. I know the crickets won't live super long but I got a bunch of dubia roaches right before...

I am so confused. Oz's fecal sample came back negative for parasites. Could he have been sick with ADV and had no parasite issues? I thought the two sort of went hand in hand? What would have made him stop eating? I was thinking he must have had ADV last night to have just stopped eating and...

We are so sad. I walked in to check on Oz earlier this evening and he was dead. 😭 He had fallen off his basking spot. It was heartbreaking to see. I guess he was much sicker than I knew. I sincerely hope that I didn't do something wrong. My mind is racing.

That's the one. Would it be obvious right now or symptoms kind of show up over time?

No problem. 🙂 I swear we did tons of research but what would be a more serious problem? MBD? Or another virus I can't remember the name of? 🤔

His name is Oz or Ozzie and I was at the pet store today. Where he was when we bought him was empty but there was poop everywhere. It clearly hadn't been cleaned out for several days. It didn't look like that when we bought him but there was two other dragons with him at the time.

It's about 83 degrees on the cool side. He is a pet store baby. This may be a stupid question but how can you tell he doesn't feel well? Just posture and eyes closed?

Ok so I have pictures and I am sorry I didn't get back to you both yesterday. I was super concerned and ended up taking Oz to the vet. They did an x-ray and that was good (no impaction) and I dropped off a fecal sample today. Hopefully will get the results for that tomorrow. The vet said...

He was eating 4 to 5 crickets a feeding. We offer him bugs three times a day. He has eaten a couple bsfl and the last day he ate he had 5 or 6 small dubia roaches. But like I said he hasn't eaten for 4 days and doesn't even seem interested. Pictures soon.

He is basking. That is how he spends all his time. It seems like he is falling asleep a lot during the day instead of being more alert. I do have probes for temps and I ended up moving the UVB inside his enclosure. His basking spot is about 13 inches from the light. I did have his basking...
