Hi my beardie is 17 months and never been near a male. She is healthy and a good weight. She seemed to be going through semi brumation a few weeks back then all of a sudden became very lively and active- digging, glass dancing, brightly coloured etc- very out of character for her since except...

Hello, i know there have been a few posts about brumation on here but wanted some personal opinions on my own beardie's situation. Terri is 15 months old (in good health now after recovering from pnemonia a few months back even though temps and humidity in viv were all fine). For the past few...

Its a case of playing around with bulbs until you get the right temp i.e. 110 basking spot (for babies)- best to measure it with digital thermometer with probe and lower/raise until you get correct temp- my basking bulb is about 6-7 inches from basking spot. As for using a higher wattage bulb in...

Just thought i'd share, not to bore anyone but.....Terri is 15+ months old and has been VERY lazy, until today where she seemed to come alive!! I put her in her pet carrier whilst i did the 'big clean' of her cage. Usually she curls up in there and sometimes sleeps but today she was frantically...

Yeah thats normal- they're very inquisitive when they are young and like to explore- its a good thing. My beardie was the same when she was younger, now i can barely get her to move lol. As your beardie has just started doing this, it may be that his confidence has grown and he's less fearful of...

Hi my beardie is 15 months old and hasn't ate salad since she was 8 months. She is a little on the larger side so i was advised by a few people on here to try the tough love approach of stopping her live food so that she would eat her salad. she is 18inches and now weight 510g- she has lost 20g...

Hi i've just got a hydrometer but can't find any explanation of where exactly to position it. At the moment i have threaded the sensor probe through one of the vents and have it hanging down in the exact middle of the viv half way between lid and floor- is this correct or do i need it nearer the...

Hi my beardie is about 15 months old. I measured and weighed her and she is 18inches long and 520g I feed her everyday about 7 superworms and a few locusts per day- some days she will eat them all, others few or none. I am wondering if i am overfeeding her as she is putting on weight quite...

My beardie is 14 months. She shed her head and upper body about 3-4 weeks ago and has just finished shedding her belly, lower body, tail and legs today. She is a normal colour beardie, sometimes creamy yellow at her brightest (not citrus) but i've noticed where she's shedded the colour is more a...

Hi just need someone to ease my mind (and usual beardie related worrying). Ive just set up a new 4 ft viv for my 1 year old beardie. Obviously temps have changed slightly fom the smaller 3 ft viv she was in. these are the temps i've got (read using digital thermometer with probe); basking spot...

I've just upgraded my 3ft viv to a 4ft. I ordered a new arcadia 12% UVB thats 36 inches but it hasn't arrived yet. Im wondering if its ok to use my 26inch UVB in the 4ft viv until it comes or shall i just keep my beardie in the 3ft viv for now. I'm a bit impatient and dying to transfer her to...

Im upgrading from a 3f to 4ft viv. Im doing to put the basking light on the right side of the viv and arcadia 12% UVB accross the back, dropped down so its within 6 inches. I was wondering where should i position the ceramic heat emitter. In my 3ft viv the CHE linked to a thermostat was only...

Hello. I recently had my beardie to the vets for an URI (not sure how she got it as temps etc are accurate) and she had 3 baytril injections- her last injection was tues gone. She is better now but ive noticed her urates have been hard the last 3 times she has pooed. I know this can mean too...

Ive just ordered a new 4 ft viv (48inch long). I noticed my controller only holds max 30w so was wondering if i could get away with a 36inch long UVB in this viv or does it need to fit the length of the viv? (i will buy a new controller if needs be but buying a new viv is going to set me back...

My beardie is curently hospitalised at the vets receiving treatment for a mild case of pnemonia / upper respiratory infection. The vet ( a very good exotic specialist) says that the x-ray showed just a slight shadow on the lung and wasn't concerned so didn't need more extensive treatment other...

My beardie is currently at the vet hospital for a URI- they kept her in tonight so vet could look at her tomorrow :( as being a teacher i can't take time off work to take her during the day. She has been lethargic recently and i just noticed the crackling sounds and air gulping late friday...

hi i noticed yesterday that my beardie was making some clicking sounds when lying sleeping on me. She also started to gulp in air about 4 times when she woke up when i took her back to her viv. I knew they were the signs of a upper respiratory infection (no mucus or anything yet). i took her to...

Hi my beardie has just turned 1 and is fussy with eating at the moment (putting on weight, shedding temps, behaviour and everythings fine so i'm not worried). I was going to switch to liquid calcium so she is still getting her supplements but i need help with which one, intake etc. Do i get the...

You know your beardie-obsessed when, for example, the sight of that special gift in the morning brings so much joy. Well imagine my excitement when after 9 months of trying and my 1 year old beardie FINALLY drank some water for the first time on her own (without me trying to entice the pipette...

My beardie has just turned 1year old. she stopped eating her greens a couple of months ago and i've tried everything in the book to entice her to eat them again. She has also decreased her intake of live foods, eating very little (she never was a great eater but is 17inches, 460g). She is alert...
