Congrats on getting the new tank. That alone should allow you so see some improvement. If you are looking for roaches, check te for sale section on this forum and you will find many great deals. Sometimes people wind up with more than they need and will sell some off at a really great price :)...

If you can get some measurements or a picture of the tank it would be very helpful in deciding on the appropriate wattage bulbs. Frank

You wouldn't be able to rule out anything by looking at the stool without magnification and a trained eye for looking for parasites, :banghead:

That sounds like a terrible headache, hopefully my replacement bulb will not do as yours did.

I too originally purchased a Mega Ray back in 2008 and was extremely satisfied with its performance! I sent mega ray an email about an issue i had with a recent bulb burning out and VOILA i got a reply with an apology the very next day, and a replacement bulb is on the way! I call that great...

I agree, they must be separated. If you aren't going to take the advice given don't waste everyone's time with senseless questions. "good day"

There is a minimum 4 inch from nose to tail rule, which is stupid. If you want to complain, look around for the hotline to call if there "are any animals you feel arent taken care of properly. Call Coprporate. Seriously. Complaining about it on the internet will not get anything done.

How can i make him "happier"? Maybe i should mess with his temps?

When my beardie (Fluffy) is sleeping, he is a BRIGHT beautiful yellow. (He is a Citrus Dragon) When he is awake he has the color of a cypress tree..(Brown) Why? Is he just having happy dreams of living in a cricket farm while sleeping ? :lol:

I run mine for 10-12 a day, id shorten it up a bit to mimic what the sun is doing.

Hah ,i missed the update post, sorry. :banghead: Congrats! Your beardie will love his lighting :blob8: :D

Everyone should check out that fella's videos on youtube, very good info. Ever since i added more basking spots with different lights and improved my Fluorescent lighting, my beardies colors look amazing, and hes eating way more crickets.

You still need to get rid of that uvb bulb. It is a cheap bulb,prolonged exposure to it will harm your reptile. ReptiSUN or MegaRay brand bulbs are the only acceptable bulbs imo.

Im watching you feed him , this rocks.

Got my megaray in, workin great, i was looking into the "burn in" and i closely watched the temps all day, and they seem to have stabilized. I check them throughout the day though so im not worried about heat. The little booger is doing great now, after having the light on him his apetite...

So should i use the reptisun only until i get the megaray and burn it in? Or should i just use the powersun? (it was in the "new box" it had the mean looking red dragon on the front with his mouth open looking all cool and stuff) :wink: Anyone know why he is always grumpy? Is that normal at...

No it wasnt runny so to speak , it was more like a jello.... lol Ive had the lamp off for about 6 hours now. (hes sleeping now :) ) And the smelly part, i mean they stink if you smell them ( i did earlier today after i read that too smelly means parasites). But how do you know if its too...
