Hello, I noticed Leo go away into hiding today which isn’t unusual after he’s been pretty active for the last week. I was going to feed him and noticed his mouth is really white? I don’t know if i should be concerned about it but it really didn’t strike me as normal. The only pictures I could...

Hi all!! My DIY enclosure for Leo is now complete after a long month :) I’m pretty proud of it and came out better than I anticipated. Please give me your opinions of it, and potential ways to improve it even more. He does have a food and water bowl the just haven’t been placed in yet. Here’s...

Hello, I recently forked out the money to buy a solar meter because i just had a gut feeling Leo wasn’t getting the correct UVB and it shows I was correct. The only place he gets the correct UVB is if he basks on the log, which sometimes does but if he were to just bask at the bottom of the...

Hello, I have started making the custom background for leo’s enclosure and was wondering if the two air vents that are imprinted at the top enough ventilation? As you can see I have made a cave and underneath is just solid foam so it would be quite difficult to try but some air vents there.

Hi all! As i’ve mentioned here many times before i’m making a DIY background. Will any expandable foam I use be okay? (Great Stuff, Touch n Foam etc isn’t available in the UK) I’m just using one i found on amazon, I’m going to be doing multiple layers of grout and then using a sealing resin...

Which is the safer option to seal + waterproof after I have grouted my foam background? I don’t want to loose the texture of the sand that i’m adding into the grout. Maybe I should mix in sand with the waterproofed that i’m going to use? Please help! I am in the UK so drylok is not an option.

Hello, I’ve been looking at making a custom enclosure for my BD Leo but all the tutorials on youtube use American or australian products and I’m from the UK so can’t get any of it :/ I was wondering if anyone could recommend any expanding foam (i’m not sure if there’s a specific one you have to...

Hello! I’ve found this bio active ready made substrate and was wondering if anyone else used it and if it is any good? :) Any other recommendations?

Hello! I’m looking at redoing Leos enclosure and was looking at bio active substrate rather than just having tiles because Leo loves to dig around. I have no idea what to use for the bio active substrate at all. Can anyone help me with what they use and possibly give me links to buy what I...

Hi! So Leo was given some laxatives by the vets (lactulose solution 0.37ml for 7 days) because he hadn’t pooped in 3/4 weeks (possibly because of relocation stress and he went into boarding when I went on holiday) and looked more bloated then the vet would have liked but as soon as we got back...

Hello, I had just got back from work today and came home and noticed Leo has tail rot. It is due to shed that was stuck on the end of the tail and obviously struggled to get off and it has just snapped off. I haven’t touched it other than when i first saw it and was wondering what it was. I’m...

I have upgraded Leo’s enclosure to a much bigger one. I have ordered new a UVB bulb with a reflector (arcadia T5 39W) and a flood basking light and plan on adding an aloe vera plant where the rock is by his food and water bowl. Any opinions/feedback on how to improve the enclosure? :)

Hello! I’m having a change around in my room and the best place for Leos vivarium to go would be facing a window. My house is west facing so I only get sunlight late afternoon but I usually keep the curtains closed in the afternoon anyway to stop my room getting too hot. Would it be okay to put...

Hello, after lots of soaking one of Leos impacted femoral pores have come out in the bath this morning after gently rubbing with a tooth brush and putting coconut oil on. I’m worried about it becoming infected now. What are the chances it will become infected and is there anything I can do to...

I’ve tried everything to try and help loosen Leo’s femoral pores but there’s two that just keep growing and he can’t seem to rub those two down. He isn’t in any pain and they aren’t swollen/infected and is happy and healthy but I would rather get it sorted now then it get to the point of that...

Hello!! Leo has developed a white spot on the top of his tongue and at the very tip it is a grey colour and looks a weird texture. Is this something to be concerned about? He’s fed insects a few times a week, has fresh veg every morning and is regularly given water. Thank you :)

Hi! I posted a thread on here about being concerned for my 4 year olds pores. The slate i ordered has finally come !! Update on pores: looking slightly better but still clogged. Should i put the slate where he usually sleeps or basks? Where would be the best place to put it? :) Currently got...

Hello! I am looking to buy some rock to go in my beardies cage but can’t for the life of me find any good places to get stone from. I’ve looked on amazon but can’t find anything great. I’m buying the stone so he can rub his femoral pores on it and help unclog them. So not sure if a flat surface...

Hi, My beardie is 4 years old and his femoral pores keep getting more and more clogged. I also feel he has an impaction but can’t tell if he’s just abit chubby. I’m bathing him in warm water to try and make his pores more soft and going over them lightly with a cotton bud to try and loosen...

Hi, I’m unsure if my beardies pores are clogged? Any help would be appreciated, he’s a 4 year old male !!
