Hello everyone. I lost my little guy a few years ago and have his ashes, prints in clay, certificate of death, and lots of pictures. I wanted to make a memorial or something of a shadow box that I can hang on the wall rather than having it on a mantle. Does anybody know anybody who does this...

Has anyone done testing to see which bulb is better, the older ReptiSun 10.0 T8's or the new ReptiSun 10.0 High Output T5's? Do the T5's put out more UVB and UVA? Thanks, Jason

He does get a peppery colored beard a few times during the day so it's not like it normally is which is white all day. He was on two antibiotics for one month. The baytril every day and z max every 3 days. How long do you think I should wait to bring him back to the vet? Things aren't getting...

I just have him a bath and he is obviously having some respitory issues. He puffs his beard out and then licks his lips. He did this over and over every 15 to 30 seconds. I finally took him out b/c I heard a gurgle sound from him. And he loved his baths before all of this and definitely didn't...

I wanted to try acidophliz+ but an having trouble finding it. Anyone have a place they knew stocks it? I've seen some places selling it but it ends up being backordered.

I tried the bebe bene bac last night and it didn't go well. When I tried to give it to him by putting a pea sized drop on the end of a broken queue tip and trying to roll it into his mouth his belly was having spasms. Not just minor but almost twitching or vibrating. I don't know if it was the...

Klaude isn't doing any coughing like that. Just puffing out his lower beard/throat area when he lies flat on his belly. His beard goes turn peppery on occasion but not like when he was on antibiotics.

It is somewhat close to wood but the wood only gets to 100 and I ended up putting a hit pad over the wood area just too be safe. What type of fixture and size do you use?

Has anyone ever had trouble with fumes coming from a ceramic heat emitter used at night to keep temps up? When I check temps my eyes can get irritated a bit. I've tried 3 different models and have had similar results. They are all in 8.5 ceramic clamp lamps. My roommate doesn't notice anything...

He does puff out his throat when he is lying flat. He doesn't hold his puff very long so does that constitute puffing out and releasing air? I tried the bene bac a few times (maybe 5) but he didn't like it so I stopped when he was on anti biotics. He does still eat but not as much. Black beard...

I posted in another thread that my bearded dragon Klaude had caught pneumonia. He is 4 years old and I've had him since he's been a baby. He was on Baytril .16 ml per day and Z-Max .5 ml every 3 days. He didn't respond too well to the antibiotics and was restless and such. But after 3 weeks we...

He ate some weighs and a bite of salad but something started yesterday that has me worried. When he started the meds he would bask for an hour, come down and then if he would go back up to the warmer spots irf place him there. By afternoon he would settle in. As of yesterday he didn't want to...

Tracie, Thanks for the reply. I wish you were here with me to chat w/the vet :D Today will be his 7th day on Baytril. And the first few days I'm not sure he was getting 100% of his dose b/c I was learning how to give him his meds since this is my first sick beardie. And no he did not have...

Well Klaude has had a black beard (different shades) most of the day since we started the medication which was a week ago today. He isn't gaping or gasping for air and no mucus is there. I called the vet to give an update and to see if she wanted to see him again. She said she didn't think an...

I can keep it within 5 degrees so I don't think a basic thermostat would work but I am open to it. If I have him at 84 or so and it doesn't cool down is that too hot at night w/his pneumonia? That is my idea to keep it at 84 or 83 so then if it cools down a few degrees throughout the night it...

Thanks for the kind words. My vet said this shouldn't upset his tummy or dehydrate him and everything I've read on this board says the opposite. She is one of the 2 reptile specialists there but it worries me that I hear this contradicting info. I wonder if she has more experience w/dogs and...

My beardie has pneumonia and I've been using a ceramic heat emitter to keep it at 80 degrees at night and it's hard to get it to stay at the same temp throughout the night. I think it's b/c I live in Minnesota and it gets colder later at night and it's a bit drafty in our house. But his tank is...

His beard only turns really dark when he wants out which is usually 4 times throughout the day. The rest of the time his beard isn't its normal bright white but various shades of black. The latter it gets the better he is but his beard color still has some black in it. Usually from 2 pm on he...

I meant to say Repta-Aid not Repti-Aid. It's a critical care formula from Flukers. It's now called Repta-Boost but same product. I picked some up today with the baby food. Another issue that is he basks for an hour then goes crazy (glass dancing), gets a really black beard and wants out of the...

If he won't eat which is the case since I started him on the meds what do you recommend for nutrition? Should I do repti-aid and baby food or just the baby food?
