    Calcium and D3 - conflicting info

    I've read this excerpt from the beautiful dragons nutrition page: Many calcium supplements and multi vitamins contain vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is essential to calcium metabolism, and is made in the Beardie's skin by contact with sufficient UVB wavelengths. Plants contain another...

    re-evaluating the viv after our loss

    So I'm asking myself all of the "What did I do wrong?" questions here after our girl passed away, and I'm doing some reading hereabouts. I want to bring another lizard in here, and I'm gonna go over everything again. Stepping up to a laser thermometer for temp management, and buying new...

    Rest in peace, Pablo (aka Bindy)

    When we found out "Pablo" was indeed female, we called her Bindy. With her apetite declining and losing weight, we thought she might be ailing, and we were heartbroken to find that our beloved friend had passed away overnight. What a great lizard she was. She loved to be held, and I would walk...

    Stepping up in the world

    Had to get Pablo a bigger tank.......found a 75 long with a stand cheap enough......now I use the 20 for a feeder tank. Pop it in there to eat, and back to the mansion when done. This way I'm not trying to dig uneaten crickets out from around this huge piece of wood. Strange thing...

    Hydration

    Altho we have clean, fresh water in the bowl daily, I've never seen this dragon drink. I hand feed greens that are washed, so it gets water that way. I let it sit in the warm bath of the sink 3-4 times a week. It's as "regular" as clockwork.......every morning, 2 hrs after the light comes...

The clown at the store told me that if I could get the lizard 6-8" below the bulb in my 10 gal long tank, this would be fine. Now from what I'm reading and hearing from here, I...

    young dragon and greens

    I gather from reading that young dragons may not eat greens as often as older ones do, but this little one does not eat any greens at all. I offer a salad daily, and all iot wants is live foods. Do I need to be concerned at this point?

    greens vs live foods

    With my young one, if I put down a dish of "salad" ( greens, fruit, carrot ) how long should I wait to lift the dish and drop in the crickets. I've read different things.....the older they get the more fruits n veggies they'll eat.......do meat one day and veggies the next.......they want the...

    newb questions

    Our new dragon came home with us tonight from the store where they left the lights on all the time. Now I have it home here and it's night time so the lights are off, and it's up on the stick in the basking spot. There's no heat up there at night. Do I need to be concerned? I have the UTH on the...
