    Polycrylic sealant for DIY rocks

    Anyone else use polycrylic sealant? On the label it says water based but then says vapor harmful. I don't smell any vapors after a few hours of open air on it and other herp sites have recommended it. It also doesn't say anything about max temps once dry. Anyone else familiar with this stuff?

    UVB fixture question

    So I purchased a 36" fixture from home depot for my custom viv, but the light it comes with doesn't actually measure 36" and is pretty thin. Also, the fixture itself has a sticker that says 21 watt. I don't Want to put anything but the reptisun 10.0 in my viv, but will the 36" tube fit in the...

    Rapid shedding

    Is it normal or ok for a young beardie who's growing rather fast to shed multiple times in 1 month? Baldr finished up a shed about 1-2 weeks ago and his tail looks super faded like it's going to shed any second.

    Going on vacation?

    Hey all, So my girlfriend and I are planning a trip to Hawaii and to be honest, I'm kind of nervous about leaving my little buddy behind. My family is all so busy everyday (and no one is much of a lizard person) that I worry he wouldn't get the kind of love and attention I give him everyday...

    What's happening with my beardie?!

    Called the vet today and found out Baldr has Pinworms and coccidia. Also, for a while his left eye was having trouble opening and the vet said it appeared to be shed but said to keep an eye on it. Well I get home from work today and neither eye will open even though I can tell he's trying. I...

    Is mouth gaping ok?

    I've noticed Baldr's been mouth gaping while basking lately. I know they do that to regulate temperature, but should I lower the dimmer slightly? I don't want to because I want his basking temp to stay high but I'm wondering why he doesn't move to the cool side of his cage if he's feeling...

    Won't eat greens?

    Hey all, My baby beardie, Baldr, who I'm guessing is roughly 2 months because he's just about 6", doesn't seem to want to eat greens very much. I can get him to take about 2-3 bites of mustard greens from my hand a day but the small dish of greens gets wasted every day. Also, he wont touch any...

    Baby beardie with an eye problem

    So I took my little guy to the specialist at my local pet store to check out his eye. For the past 3-4 days his left eye has been closed while he sits still. She said it looks like the upper lid is swollen and, since I don't use sand, it's probably from a small piece of shed. It could develop...
