I've been off this forum for quite a while (years), and was wondering how the UVB lighting scene is going. What are the really good bulbs right now? Last I checked, the best were the Reptisun 10.0, the Arcadia D3 + 12%, and Reptiglo 10.0 for flourescents. And for Mercury Vapor Bulbs the best...

When my Bearded Dragon, Hope, woke up from brumation this spring he had brief twitches all over his body almost constantly. I figured since he wasn't basking during brumation he could have developed a calcium deficiency, so I replaced his UVB bulb early and gave him plenty of sunlight...

My Beardie Hope is sick. After a vet visit, a full blood panel, a fecal smear, and a fecal float we've found his electrolytes are low and he has parasites. There are two medicines I have to administer by force feeding, the first is an electrolyte solution that I just need to give him today and...

Hope has been having some muscle twitches since he woke up form brumation about a month ago. Small ones all over his body. They have been getting much better as time has gone on, but he still has them occasionally. I took him to the vet for a full blood panel and exam, and his calcium levels...

He's eating crickets, running around, went to the bathroom, ate salad, and is basking, so I think he's up for real this time! Today he was showing his finest colors and was eager to get out of his cage for some exercise. And he's off! He even tackled the stairs. However, once I'd run up...

We've had the coldest winter in years here, and for the first time my little buddy Hope went into a full brumation. He slept...and slept...and slept. He's been asleep for months! He woke up for about a day in January, but that's about it. But finally three days ago he got up and started...

I thought I might try some new veggies in Hope's salad today. I think he noticed... He stared like that for 5 minutes. Then he got up and did the same thing from every angle. Finally, after a good 1/2 hour at least, he decided to give it a try. I think its a success, because he hasn't...

You know, the one on the lower right side of the abdomen recommended to rub while they are in the bath when its been a while since they've gone to the bathroom? I tried to look at some dissection pictures to see, but they were all too blurry. :( Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm going to get a new Beardie this summer, and figured I'd start making her enclosure early. I have $240 saved up for her total setup, and figured the enclosure itself should be $120 US dollars or around there. Are there any blueprints available for under that cost? What about just making it...

Okay, I know how to contact Lou Ann Miller, I've got the information for her address and everything, but I've got a question. I'm only testing one Beardie, so do I email her for the number of vials necessary or do I just send in the check with a note saying its for one Beardie or what? I don't...

My father and I were just having a discussion about my plans to take up breeding (again, sort've) in a few years after I've saved up enough money to do so, and he said that it would be unethical to breed Bearded Dragons because they are not meant for captivity, like dogs and cats are, and would...

So I have a Zoomed basking fixture, and its a clamp lamp, yes? But I can't figure out how to put the clamp on the lamp, and if I can't put the clamp on the lamp I can't attach the clamp light to the Zoomed stand, and if I can't attach the light to the stand I can't use my Megaray! It is...

My Beardie, for the past two years, has gone into a definite slow-down during the winter, but not a full brumation. I keep his temps around 103-70 during the winter, lights on 13 hours a day. What I'm wondering is, should I encourage him to brumate? Would that be healthier for him, or does it...

I think it might be time to get Hope his own MVB, rather than the Reptisun 10.0 I've been using. I know the UVB output is much better. I would go with either the Megaray or the T-Rex. I've got a 3 by 3 foot cage, but its only 16 inches high and his basking spot is about 13-14 inches high, so...
