Oh yeah, I'm not going to have it high enough for it to cast a shadow over the entire tank. If needed, I could even move the UVB more towards the middle of the tank if it meant more equal coverage.

Well, wouldn't a hide block the UVB anyways?

I'm finally getting ready to build Marcy's new enclosure, and I'm pretty excited! He's getting way too huge for this stupid tiny tank, I feel terrible for him. It's also been a nightmare to clean, mainly just because of how damn small and glass it is lol. Super excited! Anyways, I would like to...

Are you able to post a picture of how he currently looks? If you could, try to do it without handling him, as that can stress young beardies out. I also got my baby from PetSmart, so I can very much so understand the struggle you're going through. What's important is to get the lighting fixed...

The other day, I was threatened on the bus. I don't wanna get into the more gruesome details, but it had to do with both death and rape. For the rest of the evening, I was a wreck. I had multiple panic attacks, completely broke down, and almost self harmed again. My mom heard me over the phone...

Way to go to Charlie! She's surely a tough girl, and she's very lucky to have an owner like you! I'm super glad to hear she's recovered!! 🎉🎉

Hey all! Marcy's been happy as always, I just want to make sure everything's going well with his growth and I'm not missing any small ailments that more experienced owners might be able to better spot. Putting important stuff in bold for people just skimming. Firstly, growth. I'm having a few...

Marcy is adorable, but he's such a weirdo. I went to feed him his roaches today and after eating a couple he stood up on his back legs and held his arms out like he was scared he was going to fall. I had to get a picture. It's like he decided to start evolving and learned how to walk on two legs...

I'd like to get it from Zen habitats because it's pretty and comes at a good price. I'll probably get a coffee table to put it on in the corner of my room, as Marcy is all the way up on top of my dresser now. The bigger tank won't fit there.

Ah, yeah, I heard that myth before. I never believed it really, but he does drink the bathwater most of the time. I'll get his basking temps down a little lower. His urates are usually white and formed, moist sometimes, chalky some other times. I'll also do what I can about the UVB, but what...

Sorry for not answering sooner, Karrie! I was busy yesterday. I'm still using the Arcadia 12% T5 HO I bought in December, and I have it scheduled to be replaced in June. It's on the inside and about 8 or so inches away from the floor. I have been worried about it it's too close in the past...

Hey guys! Marcy's been happy and healthy since the last update. He just keeps growing and growing! However, I do have a small concern. I know juveniles are very prone to coccidia, and I'm worried he may have it. It's something I'm debating taking him to the vet over, because he's really not...

Thank you! At first, I never thought I would want to try raising a young beardie, but when it came time to go actually purchase one, he was really the only option left lol. All the breeders were out, most pet stores were out, and it wasn't until we went to petco that they had exactly one baby...

I ended just getting a bunch of Flukers for replacement. The one that popped was a PetSmart brand.

Nah, it was definitely colder. We recently had temps as low as around -25 F without taking wind-chill into account. And they were right up next to the window, in a house with the heating off, for hours. I've left them near Marcys viv all night and not a single one has moved. They're all hard and...

I swear, everytime something good happens it immediately gets followed up with disaster lol. Yesterday, I made a little progress post, and of course when I got home everything went wrong!! Not only was his light somehow unplugged, but when I went to check the bulb, it was out! My dad had...

Did you buy that exact full kit there? If you plan on using the current fixture, a T5 bulb won't work properly or fit in a T8 fixture. If you bought the whole kit, it comes with a reflector and you can just use that instead.

Yeah, I know that for sure! One time he was out while I was in bed on my phone, crawled up my shoulder and got behind my headrest. I got him out immediately and he was fine but it scared both of us to bits! Since then I've never taken my eye off him.

Another little update since it's been a while!! Marcys doing great, but MAN is he eating me out of house and home. Finally upgrading to medium sized roaches this week, so hopefully they'll last longer. For real though, I hope he starts eating veggies soon! I've been working overtime to pay for...
