Should the colour of my new arcadia 12% white a white/gold-ish looking colour? because i was expecting a blue/purple tinge to it like the repitsun. My last reptisun turned into a white/gold/warm colour after it was due to get changed. Just wondering if this is normal. Cheers.

Hi i was considering switching to using a halogen bulb cause my tank seems a bit dull and was wondering what kina socket you use for the bulbs? cause halogen bulbs usually have 2 pins on the bottom dont they rather than a screw. I found a zoo-med(i think) halogen screw in which i could just use...

I think my beardie has had stress marks the entire year ive had him and my temps seems just fine, the only time they go away is when he needs the toilet lol he jumps all around the tank darting about everywhere then they come back after hes done. very annoying just cant seem to get rid of them grr

Ok thanks very much for your help! I think I'll keep the pure calcium powder I have and just buy some Calcium/Vitamin powder and use that a few times a week like suggested. God why does the UK always get supplied with the poor quality products for every hobby haha :banghead: your lucky...

I had a look at the calypso calcium. So if i bought this i would still need some vitamins and minerals right? I had a look at this stuff http://www.everythingforpets.com/zoo_med_reptivite_reptile_vitamins.pet/use.id.5.item_id.6621.dept.7/, it says vitamins but looks like its a mix of calcium and...

The woman in a fully qualified reptile shop near me who has alot of qualifications said nutrobol was seriously not recommended as it causes alot of problems apparently or its not good for beardies. wether this is true or not i dont know but she recommended that stuff i have and that she uses...

Thanks for the information and links, do you know if its possible to get this stuff in the UK? I'm having a look at the moment to see what i can find!

Not sure if this is in the right section but I couldn't find anything more suitable. I was just wondering if just dusting my crickets with this calcium powder is enough to give my beardie, I dont have any muli-vits either :( I dont think this stuff has Vitamin D3 either. Im using the 2 light...

Ive just noticed recently that my beardie does this weird head shaking/tremour thing that lasts about 7 seconds, i dont see him do it that often, is this normal? I was thinking it was something to do with him shedding? because he was rubbing his face on his rock so i thot the head shakes maybe...

Ah good to hear. Yeh my room is roughly 23C or something not sure what that is but must be near 80F so i try and leave the window open to help cool the tank down. yeh I had a 100w megaray bulb in and the cool side was like 88F now with a 75 watt it is about 82-83ish, should be Ok once the...

Ok, so ive tried just about every bulb under the sun and my cool side still isnt under 80F its reading 86ish. My tank has 5 vents and is 48x21x18(whd) "'s atm I have a 75w bulb and the basking temps seems ok about 104F but the cool side is too high still, anyway of getting it down? its a wooden...

I've had my beardie nearly a year, and i must say the whole time ive had him hes never been white under his belly except for 5mins-10mins here and there randomly. My temps seem fine and he is eating and pooping regularly, so dont know what is annoying him. He is usually pretty light on top but...

what could i do to make the cool end cooler? add another vent? theres 3 holes along the top and one in each back corner.

heres a pic of the tank and what i did with the dome. its about 17" away from "basking area" lol. not bothered to do it up until i get the temps right. PS. and the only reason the wood chips are there is because my mum did it when she cleaned my tank out when i was on holiday.

Ok i'll upload a pic later for you!

yeh its giving about 107-110 tops, but he never seems to bask much and is usually at the cool end lying under his bark, the cool side is about 86. I have a hole cut out the roof of my viv and just screw an old wire rack under it for the lamp to sit on rather than hav a fitting screwed underneath...

Also just wondering, might sound a bit of a stupid question but does a 48" tube fit inside a 4ft wooden vivarium including the light starter kit clipped onto the ends of the tube? or am i better off with a 36" tube for a 4ft tank. Thanks.

yeh i was talking about if i was to switch to a 2 bulb setup lol. just cuz my mvb is slightly to hot which is a pain grrr.

Just wondering how u get ur UVB 4-8 inches away from the beardie yet still running alongside ur basking bulb? because surely then he/she will be too close to the basking bulb and will be too hot? i know some people run the UVB along the bottom of the viv, but then is he not getting the heat and...

I cant really raise the bulb any higher, i thot 17inches woulda been fine since 12 is the minimum lol. but it is stil a tad too hot at the hot end, grr. the only thing i could do is take the roof off the tank and stick some DVD boxes under each side to raise the roof, because i cut a hole in the...
