How often does your healthy beardie sleep?

Is there an MVB out there that is safe to use? I have a Reptisun 10.0 but its 12 inches away from the basking site. I was thinking of building up the basking site, but it just looks tacky. Im hoping to find an MVB to use

I think I want to start a Roach colony. I am reading a little bit about the care, and it doesn’t seem difficult or high maintenance. My only concern is I will be leaving for 3 weeks in June. Could the roaches survive if I leave enough food? I would offer water in the water dispenser with a paper...

Im setting up stellas new viv and I want to get some foliage in there. I thought about getting the plastic plants, but is there a way I could live ones? Like maybe some cactus? Or would she eat it (which I hear it’s a good staple haha) I have a little sand box in her viv, maybe I could plant it...

I recently created a custom enclosure for Stella. I setup a basking limb that got about 8 inches from the UVB and was 100 degrees with a digital thermometer. Well she wouldnt bask for long, and kept climbing under the tree. Then I started looking at the light setup in many enclosures. It seems...

I have a translucent beauty ;) but I am curious about her colors. I always see these awesome pics of trans, so colorful, sometimes with a black beard. Are they like that ALL the time? My girl for the most part will show some color, but her belly is usually a dingy color. If I put her in the tub...

Hey all! Well It just dawned on me last night that I need a sitter for Stella! I will be leaving in the middle of June for 3 WEEKS and dont think it would be a good idea to take her with me. Does anyone have any references of a good sitter in the San Antonio area? And one that is reasonable? I...

I have had trouble with Stella in the past. Coccidia, weight loss, other parasites etc. A few months ago she got a negative fecal, but then went directly into brumation (young age of 6 months!) She has been awake for a few weeks now, and is really starting to eat like her normal self (before...

About 2 months ago stella went through a bunch of different treatments. Albon for the coccidia (about 3 cycled doses) panacur (3 treatments about 1 week apart)After she 2 clear fecals and still wasn’t feeling well and losing weight, the vet gave her 1 dose of Metronidazole (.2 CC for a 283 gram...

For the past month or two I have been having major issues with Stella. She has coccidia which she was treated for. I took back another stool sample after the treatment and they said it was negative (even though I think they held the sample for 3 days before running it). Then I noticed she had 3...

My stella has been continuously going through some issues. For a while she had coccidia and was treated with albon. Then after the 2nd cycle we had a fecal dropped off at the vet. They said it came back negative (i THINK they did the float 2 days after i dropped it off) Either way, with a...

My girl stella just got done going through 2 cycles of albon w/panacur peppered in. I soaked her daily since the antibiotics can dehydrate her. She has been cutting back on her crickets lateley, and the other day only ate one! Thats the day I skipped her bath (wish I hadnt but she had been off...

I am treating Stella for coccidia with albon and panacur (for another parasite). I've been told soy yogurt is a good pro biotic for her tummy. How much do I give her? She is 250 grams. I've been giving her 1 cc. When should I start to really see improvement?

I took my girl to the vet a week ago and she was diagnosed with bad coccidia and some other parasite. I was given albon and panacur. Albon was to be given 1X day, .25 ml? and she weighs 250 grams. I gave it to her for 5 days as perscribed. She had her last dose friday. Seems she is starting to...

Took stella to the vet to get treated for coccidia. She was so curious about all the dogs in the waiting room and kept trying to climb out. Such a nosey juvi!

Got a float done for Stella. She was positive for coccidia. The vet seemed stunned at just how much! Stella also had a secondary parasite starting (urmoxy or something). He gave me some albon and panacur. Should be getting better soon. Any tips for helping her get over this? I got some reptaid...

I am pretty sure my girl has coccidia. She has runny, poo and it stinks! I had her on reptaid which was working very well. Once I stopped the cycle of reptaid her poo got bad again and she started to lose her appetite. Typical excuse of why I dont take her to the vet. I dont have the money...

I will be taking my girl with me on a business trip. I got the all clear that the hotel will accept her, my only obstacle now is how to refrigerate her greens and the Rept-aid without freezing them both. I thought about bringing a cooler and filling with ice. Not sure how cold it will get or how...

Stella is about 4-5 months and a BIG girl. She is 15 inches and weighs 160 grams. I wa reading when they reach 12 inches that is a good indication they are subadult/young adult. Could she be subadult? She likes to bask at 102-105 and is eating more greens. Can I start feeding 1X a day safely?

Hello all! Since it is finally starting to cool off some (down to the low 90's) during day around here, I would like to build a customer enclosure for my little girl so she can start soaking up some natural sun! Anyone have any blueprints or tips of how I can go about this? Anything specific I...
