Thank you for the update, very interesting. I'm a newer member on the forum and I read something in your update that I have found with my bearded dragon. Last Friday his Meg-Ray MVB went so I set up a Reptisun 10 until his new bulb comes in. With the MVB bulb I found that my BD would bask for...

Thanks, for the replies, What do you mean by irrigate the mouth thoroughly...what should I do this with? As far as brushing what type of brush should I try so as not to hurt the gums. If it is rot it wouldn't be from eating live foods because he has not eaten any live foods since early spring...

Can beardies teeth rot? I ask because I noticed (when my beardie had his mouth open) that the teeth on his bittom jaw were black in colour and immediately around the teeth...not so much the gums and not all the teeth were like this...only the middle ones on the bottom jaw. My beardie is a...

If you can get around to showing a pic that would be great. I never can find pyramiding examples for water turtles either. I have two painted turtles and I think that my younger turtle may have slight pyramiding but am not sure. Like to see what it looks like in semi aquatic turtles. Danielle

Aweomse!...Thanks for the replies. I will try the rice sock. I had stopped using a water dish once the weather started to get warmer and humidity got higher. This will be easy enough for me to set up...thanks again! Danielle

I have read that the humidity in the beardies enclosure should be below 30%. Since summer has started the humidity in his enclosure has gotten up to 53%. I am running a dehumidifier constantly during the day but can only get the humidity down between 39-44% and would like to get it lower...

Hello, For nightime temps I don't think they need to be kept too warm. I have a water heater in my tank that is set to about 72-74 degrees which is warm. At night they usually sleep in the water. Do not worry about an additional heat source and make sure the tank is dark at night..no lights...

:lol: Yeah I could see that!. My turtles will often try to eat everything at least once in their tank. if it is something new they will see if it is food. He will use the cuttle bone as he needs it. It is a good way for them to get the calcium they need.

The gravel won't hurt him. I keep rock on the bottom of my tank because my turtles like to dig and scavange around in the rock. The gravel will also keep the floaties down in the tank between water changes. For some reason turtles may sometimes try to eat really small pebbles. I don't think I...

I have had to take my beardie on overnight trips when taking him to the vet. We end up spending the night after the vet visit. I used a 10 gallon (he is quite small) with a screen top lid. The ride was only 3 hours long so I only set up a heat lamp over the screen top lid plugged into an...

Thanks so much!

Does anyone know where I can pick up Repti-Aid in Canada? I hate ordering across the line because of the time it takes and the extra shipping cost. thanks

Oh dear! I hadn't realized that the pupae need to be misted or kept moist. I just let them burrow into the soil and left them. I hope they are okay. I will see if I can get my supplies tomorrow then set everything up. You have been very helpful thanks. When you order eggs how long does it...

Yeah, as he gets older and stronger you can use a stronger filter because he will be able to handle the current better. As you add more water you can use a fake plastic plant to float around. they like using these so they can float in the water more easily or havinfg something to hang on to to...

I have two painted turtles, Alice and Lucy. Alice is actually a male and we found this out 2 summers ago but kept the name. Lucy is younger and we are pretty sure that she is a she. There are many advances made by Alice to Lucy but thank goodness...Lucy shows no interest at all. I...

Yes... i have read that wild hornworms aren't good for feeders because the plants they eat are toxic to your beardie. I would make sure it will be okay to use them first.

Sorry.. I had an after thought. If you do get eggs what do you put them in? Do you put them in the cups like you show. So the cups just have to have plastic mesh along the sides and the hornworm foodis placed at the bottom? How long does uncooked hornworm chow last. I have some precooked...

I am so glad I found this thread...maybe you can step me through a few things. I had two hornworms left over that were ready to pupate so I put them in a large glass jar with some potting soil in it. They buried into the potting soil. One buried in 2 weeks ago and the second one buried in...

No probelm! glad I could help out.

This happened to me when I first got mine. Do you have a switch on the back of the probe that says inside and outside. If you do and the probe is plugged in then the switch has to be turned to outside. I had mine turned to inside but when you hook up the probe you have to switch to outside...
