    Bought Arcadia bulbs.....don't work in my hood!

    I bought the Arcadia D3+ 12% bulbs in 24" length. I put it in my hood and it wouldn't light up. Now the hood won't work with the repitsun bulb either so it's totally dead. The hood says it's 17w and the bulb is 18w so therein lies my dilemma. What hood are you guys using with your arcadia bulbs...

    Showcase cage owners?

    Hi everyone Anyone own a showcase cage? I have two in the black granite color that we've had for 6 years now. I love the look and functionality of the cages but I wish we hadn't bought them in black. I'm thinking about painting it to change it to a lighter color. Has anyone ever painted their...

    Do dome light fixtures wear out?

    I have 2 beardies in showcase cages stacked on top of each other. They both have a standard dome fixture with a household bulb for heat. We used to be able to put a clear 60w bulb in them and their temps were perfect. Now I'm struggling to get their temps regulated. The cage on bottom used to be...

    We lost Tyrion last night

    He would have been 3 in Dec. He was a Chris Allen red leatherback and so cute! We think he must have somehow gotten parasites. He got sick on Monday and went down hill really fast. He was my baby and I miss him so much already. He was so good. He loved to snuggle. Whenever I put him on the couch...

    Scared....beardie is sick, fatty liver disease?

    Jericho is a 2 1/2 y.o. male. He's a super citrus, so he's normally very yellow. Right now he is dark and has had a black beard most of the day. He didn't turn his beard black for the first time until just a few months ago, i was starting to think he couldn't. So this is a new thing for him...

    Do we have the world's laziest beardie???

    Tyrion is a Red Leatherback, he's about 10 months now, and he's so tame he's boring! His viv and temps and all that are spot on, so there's nothing wrong with him. He eats plenty and poops daily. He wakes up when his lights come on, and basks on his own. But once he's warm and tries so hard to...

    Swollen beard with a lump! *PICTURES*

    I just went in to take Jericho out and he was laying across his drift wood. His beard was kind of resting on the wood. His right eye was bulging so I picked him up. It stopped bulging as soon as I did that. But I realized his beard is really swollen. I was touching it and theres a lump right in...

    BSF Larvae from grubco, ALL BLACK!

    We normally order our crickets from grubco and don't really have any problems with those. We wanted to switch to worms as our staple feeder, so we ordered some BSFL from grubco. They arrived and almost every single one is black and not moving. We were able to find a few white ones. Do you guys...

    Showcase cage....want to modify?

    We have the 48x24x18 showcase cage for Jericho. As you can see in the pictures below, there is a raised area for a heating pad (for snakes) and the raised area is kind of sunken in the middle. Obviously we don't use a heat pad. We have tiles down as his substrate, but because of the bump, they...

    Weird white pee???

    So....something weird happened today. Jericho, our almost 2 yr old male, peed on the floor and it was just liquid, but kind of white. It definitely wasn't urates. He already pooped this morning, so I was surprised he lifted his tail. My first thought was that he just tried to fertilize my...

    I wish I could save them all!

    Why isn't there a beardie rescue organization? They have them for dogs and cats, and birds....but not for beardies :( Just perusing craigslist and I see at least 10 beardies in my area that need better care! I feel so bad looking at these little guys' sad faces, and their horrible little homes...

    Dragons in New England need better homes!

    I've been checking out the craigslist postings in NH, MA, RI, CT and VT. There are quite a few beardies that are being sold that are definitely not in good shape. Wondering if anyone is interested in rescuing any of these poor babies from their horrific situations. Maybe the owners would...

    Looking for a BABY leatherback, any suggestions?

    Jericho is about to turn 1 and we decided to get another beardie, but because we're crazy we decided we want a baby, like 2 months or younger! Apparently we miss 3 feedings a day, multiple daily poops and having 1000 crickets in the house. :wink: Nonetheless, we're looking for a baby...
