Ok thanks!

Reptisun 10.0 (4 months old) with a reflector and basking temps 112F at hottest point with his favorite basking point being 102F (tested with a heat gun). Not my first rodeo but Darwin was MUCH easier than Nye :lol: I suspect that Nye may be Adenovirus positive but don't want to risk a vet...

Just wanted to put this out there for any other keepers who have a baby bearded dragon who will stubbornly not eat, keep up the hard work and don't give up on them. When I got Nye, he was an ok but seemingly picky eater. He ate well on dubias for a couple of days and then refused them...

I got so much advice from this forum when I first got Darwin and I can't believe it's almost been 10 years. You've been so much fun to have and I couldn't believe that a lizard could have so much personality. You're missed big guy.

Absolutely not, Tom. I completely disagree with the vet in that regard. I think that if she had been born with no quality of life, then it would have been kinder to put her down. She was hatched with spunk and a gleam in her eyes that you couldn't help but root for. It's become such a...

Thanks Tonja and I'm sorry to hear about Geico (he had a great name :) ). It makes me smile to know that HH has touched a lot of lives. I'm going to find the warmest, sunniest spot in the garden and bury her there.

Hi guys and gals. I just wanted to drop in on the forum and say that, sadly, HH has passed away late last night or early this morning. She was looking pretty down when I turned off her lights last night but I was still very shocked to find her unresponsive this morning. She had been feeling...

If you want a blood, all over red dragon, you're going to have to be prepared to pay a pretty penny for one. At this time, true reds are rare compared to oranges, especially if you're looking for a deep saturation. If you just google "saturated red bearded dragon", you probably could come up...

For bearded dragons, it's more about the length and the width than the height. A 40 gallon tank would be 36x18x18. If your tank is at least 36" long and 18" wide, it will be good enough when it gets to an adult. If it's smaller, it'll probably feel a bit cramped for your bearded dragon as it...

I decided to take a picture of Darwin (2 years) and HH (11 months) together to capture their size differences. This was the result: They are literally side by side with only a thin layer of glass between them. I also took this picture because, shortly after, HH got spooked and ran away...

If you feel comfortable handling him right away, go for it. I would allow, though, at least a couple of days of just leaving him alone in his new tank if you just got him. If he's already settled in, then he should be fine. I wouldn't take him out for very long, maybe 5-10 minutes at a time...

It's best to stick to your original thread but I do understand you being anxious that nobody responded. More important than how your tank is arranged is the temperatures inside the tank. Have you taken a measurement using a thermometer with a probe placed on the rock under the basking bulb...

120F is too hot for bearded dragons. If you can switch out your fixtures, try getting one with a dimmer switch. That way you can adjust your heat. If you can't switch, you'll need to get a different, lower wattage bulb until you can hit that 100-110F range. I've found my dragons prefer...

If you experience an issue like that and you feel it's gotten out of hand, you can report the post(s) that you feel are off topic by clicking on the \!/ triangle and click "This thread is being taken away from the original poster's topic without consent." I see that happening all the time.

I've been on the forum for 2 years now and I think it's easier for newer members to help newer members. Once you've typed a response to the same question 4 times over the course of a week, it gets very tiring over 2 years. Most of the questions newbies ask are repetitive in nature and can be...

Even angled like that, it's not that far from the basking spot. With a 10 gallon tank, it's very hard to get a temperature gradient (hot and cool side) so that the beardie can escape the heat if needed.

150W is way too strong for a 10 gallon tank. More than likely he's overheating. When you're taking temperatures, you should leave the probe there for about 45 minutes to let the temperatures stabilize. I have a 75W for a 40 gallon breeder tank myself. It could also be that he's just new...

Not sure when this was posted but: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=116920 It's from the thread sticky in health in the OP.

While this type of information may be overwhelming to the person asking for help, more than likely it can be relevant to their issue or question. Even if it isn't, it can help pinpoint other areas in which they could need help. If someone is just posting that long list in response to a...

Do NOT throw them outside. The last thing we need is more crickets chirping away :lol: You can put them into a bag and freeze them.
