I have the lights including a UV on top and have been monitoring the temps very closely. One weird thing is that I have the temp in the coolest part of the cage at about 84-88 degrees now and the temp at the basking site is 101. However, she still is not wanting to bask. She goes to a cooler...

Thanks to everyone for your responses and help. I took my Beardie to the vet yesterday and she has coccidia. According to the vet, it was pretty bad but he thinks we caught it in time. I gave her the first dose of medicine yesterday afternoon and she already pooed this morning and is much...

Well, I got my Beardie to the vet yesterday and she has coccidia. He said that she had it pretty bad but he thinks we caught it in time. I gave her the first dose of medicine yesterday and she pooed this morning and she is already a lot more active. Thanks to everyone for your ideas and help...

It never gets below 70 degrees in my house but I don't have a heater in his cage so I might need to check into that. I do have a heat rock in his cage and from what I am reading, that is a bad idea so guess I need to get that out of there. I am going to get that digital therm today so I can for...

Okay. I read where the distance from the light to the basking light should be about 6 inches but not sure if that is right or not. Mine is about 4 inches right now. I almost forgot to ask, I have a heat rock in there, it seems like some people are recommending not to use a heat rock, what do...

I am going to remove that substrate as soon as I get home. I wish I had looked for this site much earlier as everyone seems to be so much help, I actually posted my question twice as I thought it didn't post the first time. Anyway, I have been talking to some other people and I think my temps...

I have a stick on thermometer but plan on getting a digital one today to verify temps. Please tell me again what the temp in the cage needs to be and then the temp of his basking site. I also read some other things on this site and I think my basking site is too close to the light so I will...

I do have UV light. I am not sure what you mean by a compact coil but before the new cage I was using one that looks kind of like those new light bulbs but I got it at the pet store. However, when I got his new cage, I bought one of those Reti lights that has the round UV light and the basking...

I am a fairly new Beardie owner. My beardie is about six months old. He had outgrown his cage so last Friday, I got him a new one. Ever since I put him in it, he has acted very different. I put crushed walnuts in as a substrate (apparently a bad idea), the bag recommended it for Beardies and I...

I am a fairly new beardie owner. Mine is about 6 months old and has been doing so well. He outgrew his cage so last Friday I got him a new one. I put crushed walnuts in it as a substrate (apparently not a good idea). He is now acting very sick. He is eating fine but he is acting lathargic and...
