Hi everyone. I am needing to order new UVBs for my dragons. Typically I order Reptisun 10.0 T8 tubes from Amazon. Have not had any issues with them so far as I know (I don't have a light meter or anything to really test it). I see a lot of people suggesting the Arcadia D3 12% tubes. I found...

Not quite sure which sub-forum this belongs in. Please move it if I picked the wrong one. So, this morning I was hand-feeding one of our dragons, Alex, some dubias. It's generally easier to do it that way as they tend to hide under things too quickly if I just put them in with the food...

I've skimmed through some of the other "vacation" questions and didn't find one (yet) that tells me yes or no to this question. I mentioned in another thread that I'll be gone for a few days toward the end of June. I'll be leaving Thursday evening and coming back Sunday afternoon. I'm...

So, I've not had much luck getting the basking bulbs from the pet stores (ZooMed, mostly) to last very long. Seems to be a common problem. I've read where a lot of people use regular household bulbs. So, here's my question. With regular incandescent bulbs quickly disappearing, what kind are...

So, while looking around CL for beardie posts, I came across an ad for a Giant Plated Lizard. It came up on the search because the owner had suggested that they could be kept with beardies. I've done a little reading on them... enough to know better than to believe the above, but, other than...

So, I was looking around CL and came across an ad for bearded dragon supplies. Supplies ended up being a full setup that also includes the nearly one year old beardie that is housed in it. So, I e-mailed the lister and asked the basics I could think of off the top of my head about the...

Hi all. I just posted a memorial for Gertrude who we lost earlier today. Came out of nowhere and have spent pretty much the whole evening wondering if I did something wrong or could have seen it coming. I can never replace Gertrude. There was only one of her. I do have a question for those...

Forgive me if I babble in this. Hasn't been an easy night. We lost Gertrude this evening and I really don't know how or why. I just took her in to the vet on Tuesday for a checkup. Her weight was good. He checked her lungs and heart, etc. Gave her a totally clean bill of health. This...

One of my local pet store chains decided, for some odd reason, that they were going to stop selling ReptiSun products. Even the managers couldn't really understand why. At any rate, they marked down all of their florescent tubes and I managed to get some ReptiSun 10.0 tubes for $2 each!! Here...

I recently picked up a copy of Reptiles USA magazine (2012 Annual) and they had an interesting article on Tiger Salamanders. Seemed like it might make for a very nice addition to the family zoo. I did a search here and saw that a number of people here also have them. Was wondering if anybody...

A couple of weeks ago Gertrude was found to have pinworms in her sample. They didn't give me a count but said it wasn't bad at this point. So, last week, they started her on Panacur and Ditrim. Her dosages were as follows.. 0.2ml Panacur on day one 0.2ml Panacur 2 weeks later for a total of...

Ok, so I get up to go to work today to find out why Gertrude has been acting so odd the last several days. I walk into the room to find her laying the 3rd of 3 eggs. My first reaction was WTF is that! Keep in mind that I've never had reptiles before and I have begun treating Gertie for...

hey every1. So, as I mentioned in the introduction forum, I purchased (rescued) Gertrude from a local private pet shop. I don't have great confidence in the way she was being kept there and know nothing about how she was kept before that so I decided I should take her in for a general checkup...

Hi everyone. I'm TJ. New here from Pittsburgh. So, a little about how I got here. I had been wanting a pet for quite a while. Something that wouldn't interfere with the alarm system in the house (motion sensors). Something relatively quiet and clean. Something longer lived than the...
