This is happening to mine as well, poor guy...:[ I never tried giving him a bath to poop in. I'll go try that now...

He eats, but nowhere near how my baby used to. He is on sand, but I never see him eating any. I don't think he has pooped for 2 weeks roughly, unless it's getting buried in the sand. He doesn't move a whole lot, and he used to bask in the heatlamp alot...now he only does if I put him there at...

he's got a 60w flood light and the one long, thin 16w UVB. I forget. Repti Sun maybe? It's the one recommended on here.

he has a log to get up to the heat lamp/uvb a rock a stick, and carpet. he has been doing this for 2 weeks now

Puff used to hang around under his basking lamp all day and would jump the second I dropped crickets in there. Now, he is very slow to get them but he does. He used to eat carrots all the time and he occasionally snacks on them. He now sleeps in the corner of his cage. He has little gnats that...

From my knowledge, it is highly likely something internal went wrong. It's possible he was marked at birth. A year and a half isn't too old for a bearded dragon, as their life expectancy is around 10 years. More than likely, it's something that was out of your control. It sounds to me that you...

At times when Puff is sitting around on his log being lazy, he will flare his throat and jerk his head almost as if he is gagging. Temps are fine, he eats normally (more like a pig :D) but yeah. Just wondering if he's growing up and learning to flare out his throat, or if he almost has something...

perfect...looks like everything is working out for you then. but yeah, don't worry about the veggies. my baby dragon didn't touch them for a few months, but now he loves 'em. if, in the future, you need to replace EITHER bulbs, may I recommend a mercury vapor bulb? they serve as both a UVB bulb...

yeah i generally soak it in warm soapy water about once a week to clean it off. i just want him to NOT poop on it because i cant scoop it up and it starts smelling. lol

log. it's more like a branch that my dragon uses to get up closer to his heating lamp. and he ALWAYS poops on it when hes basking. i can't scrape off all the poop. any ideas how to clean it, when it should be cleaned, or any permanent solutions for this ? :D :D

I'm not worried persay, just want to be cautious. I love my dragon and I haven't really let him on much other than my arm/shoulder because of what I've read. He's a babby =] :D

So, I see all these posts and whatnot about 'I lay on my bed with my beardie and watch tv' or 'He sleeps on my pillow at times'. Yet I also see things saying to wash your hands after holding them due to salmonella and other bacteria. Shouldn't these things also be sanitized, or is it really not...

i think he's getting the uvb

as stated earlier, impaction is the second cause of death among wild dragons. they don't live on sand, also which was stated earlier. they live in hardened ground in australia.

The basking area on that log is right around 100 degrees. I used a digital thermometer to measure. I'm just afraid he won't get enough exposure to that UVB goodness. I don't know how old my dragon is, got him a week ago. It's outdoor carpet, the substrate. And it is infact a fluorescent...

This is his setup. I couldn't find anything better to put the UVB light in, so I put some tin foil infront, hoping it'll reflect some rays down on him. Is this sufficient? http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=21azcbo&s=5
