Thank you everyone for your comforting words. He is at his resting place now at Sker Beach, Wales UK. Our surfing buddies are now naming it Zuki Bay surf spot which will make it even more special to us! Rest easy big man & watch the sunsets 🌅 🦎

Hi all It brings me great sadness to let you all know that Zuki crossed rainbow bridge this morning. I took him to the vet, he had his new UV for just under 2 weeks, I fed him up & hydrated him. I tried my best to make him comfortable but it wasn’t enough. The vet said he was riddled with...

Yeah it definitely needs to be lowered, he’s 11 going on 12

I got the T8 as his tank is 1.5ft high not 2ft. We are putting him 6-8” from the T8. We have digital probes each end, one under his basking spot level with where his back is, it’s sitting at 39°-40° but this is quite low down, because he hasn’t been active we didn’t want him trying to climb too...

Haha He’s definitely training me 😉 🤣 His new bulb is in, the shop owner who owns bear dies himself said we’ll hopefully see his activity increase in a week or so. Just having some temp issues now, it’s a bit too hot at his cool end, but we took out the old leafy branches we had in there. Is...

Hello everyone. So Update, I’ve been let down twice by 2 different shops I purchased the light from 🤦🏼‍♀️ but after lots of searching have found a Reptile shop in the next town who have the one he needs so we’re going to pick it up this afternoon & set it up for him 👍🏼

Thank you for the lovely welcome 😊 Haha It seems he is a chunk, everyone is quoting that. He has roamed a lot out of his viv during the summer months, he’s been to the park with us too on occasions. He’s slowed down a lot now so I’m just ruling out things 🤞🏼 Have just been let down by PetsAtHome...

Haha No competition except for cuddles 🤣 Although Cody is partial to a grasshopper or two 🙈

They’re so funny together! Zuki definitely is in charge! He used to chase Cody & lick his fur 😂 Cody would dart off out of the room then come back as if it was a game. But considering their size difference, Cody was so gentle with him. Cody is a therapy dog too. Zuki’s T8 will be available to...

Oh my days! Such a lovely reply to my message! Thank you for being so kind & welcoming. It really does help. I will definitely ask more questions. Right now I want to try ruling out things one by one. He must be around 11 as my partner got him 2 years before getting his spaniel, Cody who’s 9...

Sorry, I didn’t explain it well enough. It will be on his ceiling at the front not the wall part, when he is in his basking spot it should have the UVB rays towards his back, but I can see it is possible to unscrew the mounts and place it closer to the middle of his roof/basking bulb.

Hey 👋🏼 I’ve gone with the T8 after measuring, turns out his viv is only a 1ft & half in height so his basking spot if the T8 is placed at the front would be roughly 23-25cm away from his back, and not in his face/eyes. The T5 didn’t have the correct length tube for his viv. So I’m double...

Right, got you. Two separate supplements - I’m hoping this will really help him pick up a little. Thanks Karrie

Absolutely! I’ve been blown away how friendly this forum is. Glad to have left the Facebook group, some Admins were just patronising. I feel really welcome on here & the advice is delicately delivered 😂 😊 Thanks everyone for your responses

Hi KarrieRee, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions, I have a bit of a clearer idea now. Will purchase the T5 tomorrow to collect Saturday & have a look for some Calcium D3 👍🏼 Thanks again 🙏🏼

Sorry, another question - do I take out both old UV lights & just put the new one in at the front of the viv I’m thinking? I’ve done some measuring & it seems it is 18” high and 18” depth, 45” length. He has sand substrate, has done for a long time, because we hand feed him we’ve never seen him...

Awww Zen is a chunk hunk isn’t he 🤣 Beautiful boy! I can see the resemblance too. Zuki has lost weight a bit since these photos ☹️ I’m really hoping to get him back on track. This makes total sense & I think with us having to rearrange his viv so he’s not having to climb too high, the T5...

Aww thank you for your quick reply & lovely comments on Zuki. We were told at the vet he was the biggest (longest before he had his chop 😂) bearded dragon they’ve treated. He is beautiful, yours must be beautiful too then 😊 So would the T5 be suitable placed at the front of his viv? Right now...

Hey guys, just joined this forum & hoping to have some advice to help me care the best I can for our old beardie, Zuki. I would say, I’m not a total newbie but still not 100% sure we’ve got things right for Zuki. His story, he is now around 10-11yrs old, I moved in with my other half in 2020 &...
