    Beebz is awake now, but still has no appetite.

    So Beebz finally woke up from (semi) Brumation about a month ago. He is spending a lot of time basking again and is pretty much back to his old activity level. My concern is he still eats very little. He gets salad everyday and will normally take a bite or two at some point during the day...

    Brumation at 9-10mo?

    Looking around the forum it seems like this is the time of year for Brumation to start. I'm a little concerned about Beebz as I thought it was uncommon for Dragons to Brumate when they were under a year old but Beebz has stayed in his hide about a week now. He is not fully asleep and will...

    Should i be concerned about this poop?

    Beebz left this in his enclosure today, and it has a lot more undigested bug bits than I've noticed before. He's been eating a lot of BSFL this week and I'm not sure he chews them very well. He like to grab a mouthful at once. His temps are 100-105. He is 8-9mo now so I think that's a...

    Safe cleaners for room with Dragon Enclosure

    So Beebz is in my daughter's room, and we are wondering what is safe to use to mop her floor and wipe down her furniture. I know the floor cleaner we use on the other hardwoods in our house is pretty pungent, so I figured this is something I better ask the experts about ;)

    Calcium cravings?

    Wasn't really sure if this belongs in feeding or health but Beebz has been acting a little odd with his roaches. Since Sunday he absolutely will not eat them if they don't have calcium powder on them. He's been getting more picky in general the last couple weeks and I just took away his worms...

    Pinworm levels high, no treatment recommended.

    So Beebz had a fecal taken at the vet on Monday. When I called today the vet said he tested in the "high range" for pinworms. She said that unless there are symptoms she doesn't treat pinworms. Beebz has been less willing to eat roaches and crickets recently. I mostly chalk that up to his...

    Bright orange urate

    Sorry for another poop question, but this one looked wierd to me. I've seen Beebz have some yellow/orange tinge in the urate before and figured it was just a little extra calcium. It's never been this bright though. He did have some orange bell pepper, I would have thought that would tint...

    White/milky poo not in urate

    Wondering what's going on with Beebz poop. I've noticed there are some pale white areas that are not part of the urate. I've seen this occasionally before but this is rhe last two days. Yesterday: Today:

    Thoughts on using 10-20w LED floodlights for supplemental lighting?

    I have a few 10w and 20w floodlight LEDs. Here is an example. I bought these years ago for my aquariums and they worked really well, i could grow aquatic plants at a distance of ~20in through a glasstop and water. The 10w puts out ~1000 lumens in the 6K range, the 20w ~2000 lumens. My plan...

    Enclosure ventilation and humidity

    I see (I think) so your valuing ventilation in so far as it allows you to establish an appropriate tempature gradient. Inadequate ventilation would not allow enough heat to escape to keep your cool side. Or cause temperature to drift up constantly over the course of the day. Is that correct...

    Forum tools grayed out?

    I seem to have lost the ability to use the shortcut bar on top of my posts to do things like link, bold, and insert images. The buttons to do so are there but are all grayed out. Sadly my ability to remember markup tags has been largely lost over the years. Is this an issue on my end or is...

    Any tips for feeding BSFL.

    So Beebz likes BSFL. I like them because they are pretty cheap and high in calcium. But I hate trying to get the little things out of the sawdust or whatever they are in, wash all that stuff off. Make sure none are dead and only then be ready to feed them to him. It's not so bad the first...

    Cleaning and sanitation.

    So I have a confession to make. So far the only cleaning I've done in Beebz enclosure is using a damp paper towel to remove feces and wipe up any residue. I had seen recommendations to use a water/vinegar mix but as vinegar evaporates into VOCs in the form of acetic acid I never felt...

    Feeding Superworms to 12in Dragon?

    So the last time I ordered insects for Beebz I picked up a 50ct of superworms. I've been trying to expand the variety of insects he has access to. He mostly ate dubai until recently and I've introduced BSFL, crickets and hornworms since in addition to the superworms I just bought. However...

    Basking behavior vs tempature targets.

    So I'm not sure if this is really the correct section for this, I debated putting it in the advanced lighting section but I'm not sure how advanced it really is. After moving Beebz to his 120g I've been struggling to provide enough heat over the basking area. He is about 4mo and 12in long...

    Lingering Odor

    So I made a stand for Beebz it was stained Saturday with a water-based Low-Voc stain. It stayed in the garage until Monday and I wasn't able to smell anything in the garage so I moved it upstairs. It did stain my hands slightly on Monday so wasn't completely dry. I've had heat lamps on the...

    Can you tell the sex?

    I managed to grab a picture of Beebz vent area yesterday: Are these pictures good enough to make a good guess on sex. Is my Dragon Princess actually a Prince?

    Teeth clicking?

    Is this how she's supposed to sound when she's chewing, or is there somthing off with her teeth?

    Is this normal?

    Hi, Beebz occassionally does this, and I was finally able to get a good video of it. Just wanted to know if I ought to be concerned.
