    Stackable Enclosure with MVB? Possible?

    Has anyone built or seen a stackable enclosure while still using MVB bulbs? I'm hoping to build a stackable 5ft long enclosure for my adult Beardies. I know the EASIEST design would be to use fluorescent tube UV lighting with heat bulbs/radiant heat, but I've been using MVB for years with good...

    **Mega Ray Issues** / Megaray RECALL

    My problematic bulb was from the FJ batch as well... and it was a replacement from another bulb. I had to ditch my Megaray entirely and go to a compact fluorescent temporarily (after allowing her eyes to heal and open up again after almost a week). Unfortunately, since I didn't buy direct from...

    **Mega Ray Issues** / Megaray RECALL

    I can't even tell if I have the "new" spray coating on mine. I bought them locally, and although the batch codes on the bulbs don't match the original "bad" batches, I'm still having problems. I LOVED my bulbs last year - never had one problem. Now, I'm stumped.

    **Mega Ray Issues** / Megaray RECALL

    I've turned BOTH of my beardies MVB's off for now... HE is the one having the trouble, but until I get this figured out, I'm being cautious. I have a 40w household bulb in both their enclosures just to provide SOME warmth and light. Should I up those to keep temps high, or shut them both off to...

    **Mega Ray Issues** / Megaray RECALL

    Was he being grumpy and lethargic as well? I'm just scared this could be indicative of a larger problem that I need to see a vet about. :(

    **Mega Ray Issues** / Megaray RECALL

    For people that have pulled their Mega Ray from their enclosures, how long has it typically taken for the eye closing/lethargy to subside? Days, weeks?

    **Mega Ray Issues** / Megaray RECALL

    Hey Guys, To each of the users, admins, and John @ Megaray, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I replaced my Megaray 100w bulbs 5-6 days ago, and 2 days ago, my male adult beardie wouldn't open his eyes, became very lethargic, and just seemed sick. I was freaking out, and came to BD.org for answers as I...

    Black marks - fungus, infection? [Pics included]

    The darkness has turned into a lighter colour... almost looks like she's ready to have a shed. I have to wonder if somehow her basking temperature got TOO hot, maybe on a really hot day last week.. and somehow she got burnt. I'll get a photo and upload it tonight. She seems ok, had a healthy...

    Black marks - fungus, infection? [Pics included]

    So... got the betadine and the witch hazel today. Lamasil is NOT available in Canada without a prescription. Went to 2 different pharmacies to confirm. Are there any recommended alternatives? One pharmacist suggested Monistat/Canesten, but didn't want to sell it to me before I checked with my...

    Black marks - fungus, infection? [Pics included]

    She hasn't had a shed yet this year... Her temps on her bask are within the 100-110 range, so maybe this shed is just taking longer than usual? I've tried rubbing the area when giving her a bath... nothing seems to come off, so I don't think it's poop. I'll try with a soft toothbrush during...

    Black marks - fungus, infection? [Pics included]

    I found this disclouration on my 2.5 year old girl's stomach a couple of days ago... now I'm also noticing something on the pad of her foot and possibly a bit on her tail. I've looked at PAGES of photos of yellow fungus and open infections and this doesn't look similar (to me... but I'm hardly...

    Beardie fell 3-4 feet, please help.

    I left the latch on his enclosure slightly open and he pushed the door down and fell. I wasn't home when it happened (sometime in the last 2 hours). I found him hiding on the floor, in a corner under the heat register. I don't see any external damage, but I'm SO scared about internal/bone...

    Design Ideas / Recommendations for large beardies?

    Ok creative minds - time to shine! I've got two beardies (in separate enclosures). My boy is almost 18" long, weighing 127.57 grams. His enclosure is 48"L x 19.25"H x 24"D. It's a custom built wooden enclosure with ventilation and plexi front. His substrate is currently a mix of paper towel...

    Beardies ONLY eating the expensive feeders... Help?

    Brumation season FINALLY over! :blob5: So my 2 adults have now decided that they will ONLY feed on Butterworms and Silkworms. :banghead: Won't eat crickets, superworms, collard greens (with apple or grape juice), kale, or anything else I can think to offer them. I'm not sure how it is...

    The Ontario Reptile and Aquatics Expo

    There's a lot of aquariums available outside the expo, usually with small chips and cracks... but dirt cheap. Other than that, not many terrariums. There's the occasional vendor with a small selection, but nothing large or custom. Good luck...enjoy yourself!

    The Ontario Reptile and Aquatics Expo

    I've gone for the last 2... I'll be there. I usually just end up getting a bunch of silkies, hornworms, etc... but it's SO cheap.
