    Hi, I purchased a reptisun 10.0 flourescent about 6 months ago. I was told to then purchase a mercury vapor bulb. Will someone help me find the correct one? I'm lost :/ Thanks!

    Slight back swelling

    My beardie was placed on my couch and jumped off the edge. It looked like he fell on it kind of weird. He was moving around okay but the neck part behind his head looks slightly slightly swollen. I'm not even positive. Regardless, if it is swollen what should I do? Its bed time so he's...

    Cleaning Viv

    Is there a solution I can use to clean my tank. I clean it with water about every other day (I have a paper towel substrate, so I'm sure you understand why) but I feel like I should disinfect it. Are any chemicals safe?

    Brumation

    About 2-3 weeks ago I purchased a 2 year old male bearded dragon. Since I've had him, he spends about half of his day awake and doing normal beardie things, and then the other half under his hide, trying to sleep. The breeder I purchased him from said he would go down hard when he brumated...

    Hateful Beardie

    I purchased a two year old adult male bearded dragon. He HATES me. He always puffs his beard and gapes when I come too close or stick my hand in his tank. I still handle him every day in hopes to make him more comfortable with me. Any ideas in how to deal with this and tame him?

    To use or not to use..

    I had a coil UVB for my first tank. Read that it was bad. My second tank is new and had no prior UVB. Went to all the local pet stores looking for the reptisun 10.0 flourecent tube and no one had them. I decided to order 2 off of petmountain.com. They will not arrive for another week...

    UVB on screen

    I was under the impression that the UVB light would be fine on top of my screen. However, I've started to second guess that. Does anyone know? Should it be inside the tank? Thanks!

    Reptile Show Disgust

    In the area I'm from, there is a reptile show once a month. So far I have gone twice. The second time around, I was extremely disturbed. There were bearded dragon "breeders" who had adults that looked like they hadn't been fed in a few days. The pancake draped over your hand. Plus they...

    When to retire?

    At what age should you stop breeding your beardies? (Male and female, if it's different) I'm not breeding and don't plan on it. But I was curious and no one seemed to have asked that question before.

    2 females happy together; normal?

    I had one pet store-bought juvenile for about 2 months. She turned out to be a girl and when I went to my first reptile show, I couldn't help myself and got another little girl from a breeder. (tiny bit smaller) At first, my pet store one was aggressive and very dominant. The show-bought one...
