What I meant by "radiate downward" was to make some sort of hide that was heated from the top. maybe I am just overthinking this? The room is kept at 80-85 during the day and 70-73 at night. I just can't help thinking they need a heat lamp...I never thought of a ceramic one. The problem too is...

I think you are right lol. It is a Companion Habitat XL

I posted awhile back about how to heat my new cages and have not had any replies really. I'm kinda in a tight squeeze, literally. I need to provide a basking spot for my dragons and the new cages don't have accommodations for a tall fixture. Can i use one of those slim halogen lights that some...

Hey guys. So my brother and I just got 2 used Companion Habitat Suncatcher cages for our pets and there seems to be a problem. The cages have 2 48 inch tube lights over each cage. I will be replacing one of each with the proper UV bulb. There is a control unit underneath that runs heat, lights...

See, this is why I love you guys! In all my years, I've never actually seen one and since this guy isn't exactly the healthiest, I was very concerned. By any chance, is this any indicator of his state of health? Like, is this a good thing or just commonplace?

He was supposedly 3 years old when I took him in a few months ago.

:shock: is right! lol Well like I said, the first one came out when he went to the bathroom. I assumed the other was next..... Let me just put this out there, even if I look like a fool, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it...is it possible his junk fell off?

He is very lethargic most of the time and can't catch crickets so he gets all greens and the occasional superworms. These things were embedded in his vent. They were on the sides and curled in towards the vent.

Quick little update. I had him outside for about an hour. He sat on my leg the whole time but he actually seemed to enjoy it. After about 5 minutes, he brightened up tremendously and he was holding his head up high. I put him down in a plastic critter cage with no top so he could soak up a few...

While I had my dragon outside today, he decided he was going to go to the bathroom in the little tank and I couldnt help notice this thing come off of him. He had one of these on each side of his vent but all I could see was a small part of the dark spot. I had noticed it previously but it only...

The other male is fine. He was a little on the aggressive side but I attributed that to being the dominant male for all that time. In all honesty, I never see Rocky doing anything other than sleeping. His cage is 5 feet long and he has plenty of driftwood and rocks to climb on, even his basking...

Hey guys, the infamous Rocky (I named him that because of his swollen eyes lol) doesn't seem to be doing a whole lot better and its been a long time since I took him in. I'll try to keep it short... I took in 2 adult dragons from an older woman who either didnt know or didnt care that they were...

Ok guys, just a little update. I am amazed to say that in the short time since my last post about this and separating the babies, that the smaller ones have probably doubled in size. I couldn't believe it but it did fix the problem. Thank you all again.

Its right here on this site and it is very informative. Go up to where it says "Care sheets and articles" under the banner on top of the page and you'll see it in there. I've already made one and it came out really nice for a first timer. Or copy and paste this...lol...

You posted this as I was writing my reply. Those are the bulbs I have, the Repti-Sun 8.0. If they are better at all, I will use them for now until I can get what I need. I have one of those Zilla hood lights but the bulbs are ridiculous and I had heard they weren't so great so I dont ever use...

I'll be honest with you, I knew I needed UV bulbs and I came across these and the price was right so I grabbed a few. In my mind, the spiral design is kind of a waste, and as you point out now, they don't work properly. I really wasn't aware of this. I do have several ExoTerra 8.0 tubes that I...

Thank you. I am very proud of my babies. The Savs are really nice when they are clean. They pretty much just sleep and poop. I have been trying to find homes for them but all I get is no-shows but because of that, I get to spend alot of time with them and they are dog tame, except for one who is...

Thanks to the awesome DIY rocks and caves thread on here, I gave it a shot and here is my very first creation. I started out with a smaller one to use in with my Uro. It came out amazingly. I had incorporated a hide for him but he kept going in there and tearing it up so I used wooden skewers to...

Ok, here is a pic of two of the babies. Clearly there is a huge difference. The ratio of big ones to smaller ones is about 60/40 so I'm supposing that there are no "runts" in the litter. Here is a pic of my baby Savs. One of them is growing at a much quicker rate than the others. He is in...

This is an older picture from about a month ago. There are two of these logs in there. I haven't gotten my camera yet to get the pics I want to show all of you about the size differences. I will do that shortly and take a pic of the whole setup. I think I am going to split them up but not by...
