Ok, so it's mid-Summer and my beardie is suddenly in what looks like some kind of a deep sleep. Now he did not brumate last year (he's 3 now) and I thought that meant he probably just wouldn't brumate at all. He's been in his outside enclosure for a couple of days since the temperature has been...

I seriously cannot find a fixture for these bulbs. It's probably going to be a 36" fixture, but I can't find it outside of a terrarium hood which is just too big. Anyone use these T5's with slimmer UV fixtures? Zoo Med Reptisun T5 HO 10.0 UVB High Output Bulbs That's the type of bulb I...

Alright, so this will probably be my last update to THIS thread... His 180° turn has continued. He's moving his hind legs with relative ease and without any issues. He ate more phoenix worms yesterday along with some of his greens (with vitamins). He was also outside yesterday under...

I liked it when my beardie didn't poop in his cage. I think he got used to getting a bath every other day and just did his business there. Then when I built the outside enclosure he would always go there or the bath. Never in his cage. It was great. Instead of cleaning the whole enclosure twice...

I guess I should have given that info... He's in a 75 gallon and the bulb is 150W. What's funny is I switched it from 100W to 150W because the 100W just wasn't getting it very hot. When I felt the rock it was warm and about 94 F. Now with the 150W and it moved slightly closer it shot up to...

Alright, so I use rocks in my beardies enclosure. They are basically slabs of granite that I extracted from a huge....granite rock jutting up in my front yard. I re-did his enclosure. Moved his UV light closer by constructing a make-shift platform for it. I'm actually going to be adding to it so...

Update: Okay, so he has taken a turn for the better. He actually started eating again yesterday (about 10-15 phoenix worms) and he had the same amount today. Today I dusted them with vitamins because he's still not eating his greens. He's always been funny about his greens though. His leg...

Kind of early...or late however you look at it, but thought I would update since I'm awake anyways. So he pooped while I was out at the store. Was grabbing some of my own groceries along with some pedialyte (just in case) and soy yogurt. I'm probably going to grab baby food tomorrow. The poop...

He does poop regularly. The last time he pooped was yesterday at around 11am when I put him in the bath. I paid no attention to it--just cleaned it out and kept an eye on him. It looked normal for being in the bath-water albeit it seemed like a larger poop as though he had been holding it in or...

The UVB light is a tube. He can get about 12" (1 foot) away from it and I'll be adding something that he can climb in order to get more. He used to be able to get within 8-9", but the light fell down on the inside and I had to just place it on the rim of the enclosure. It is an open roof so...

Bump. I know people may be hesitant to reply, but I'm just curious if anyone has seen anything like it. I'm beginning to think he might have somehow hurt his back, but I just don't see how. Everything I see on MBD says that he would be shaking and twitching and he not (other then when he spit...

I'll start by saying that I can't do a Vet visit until at least Monday. No Vets are open right now (E-Vets around here don't deal with reptiles) and no vets are open at all on Sunday. Not to mention that there's like 2 reptile-certified vets within 150 miles of where I am. Beardie is acting...

From what I understand they should be able to cut it in the store for free. Do you really need to have it cut? Also, ceramic or slate tiles are probably your best bet. I got ceramic tiles that were not ornate or anything at $0.40 a piece and they are 6"x6" each. Cost me like $10.00 or so get all...

Oh, well at least you are able to bring those two with you. Honestly, I would think shipping would be less stressful if they are able to have him in a climate controlled area. The cargo of a plane isn't climate controlled at all. I think you should wait until someone with experience shipping...

That sounds fantastic. Puerto Rico is beautiful in the right places and the weather is what you'd expect there. I don't know if it gets full on hurricanes...I believe they get low grade hurricanes and/or tropical storms that will eventually become hurricanes. Pets in cargo are always iffy. How...

Alright, so I was originally mounting this thing by sticking it to some very sticky tape inside of the enclosure. It worked for about a month and a half, but one day it suddenly fell quite literally only an inch or slightly more from beardies face. He was basking, I was on the computer and I saw...

Completely normal. There are natural chemicals in the food that can cause this (beta-carotene I believe). It's completely normal. In fact, if you fed a lot of squash and they DIDN'T have orange poop that'd be odd [but not necessarily bad]. The same thing happens to people too. And that's pretty...

1) What bulb is the best to use? His vivarium is about 50cm high and his current one looks too low to me. He needs two types of bulbs. First, a heat bulb placed above the basking spot so that spot can reach about 95-105 degrees F. I cannot remember the type I use, but it's a 100W heat-bulb of...

Likes: Basking (he actually wraps around his basking rock) Hanging out with me (on chest, or w/e really) Bothering my dog (he will climb on my dog who gets upset and leaves the room) Bathing (O', he loves this so much) Chasing feeders Staring out the window (which is right next to the cage, so...

Alright, so I wanted something that lasts a while since the crickets I get seem to die off way too quickly. Superworms are slightly more expensive, but they last longer (I had one that I thought were done with and I left them alone for several months...went back to clean the container and they...
