    Brumation questions

    We live in Florida though so those inside temperatures won't last. We have lots of warm mixed in with cold fronts in the winter here.

    Brumation questions

    His temperature in the morning is around 65 and by late afternoon it's around 68 in the enclosure with the lights off and covered with the blanket.

    HELP!

    He may just be experiencing relocation stress due to the move. Even if the enclosure is exactly the same, the room itself is different from before. He should calm down and adjust soon. You could close off the back and sides of the enclosure so he has less to look out at if you'd like. He's...

    Help and Advice Please

    As long as your house's indoor temperature doesn't go below 65 F (or 18 C) at night you won't need a heating source for night at all. If you do have a chilly house in the winter, you'll want to get a ceramic heating element. They do not produce any light so won't affect his sleep. An example...

    Help and Advice Please

    Beardies are solitary for the most part and are quite territorial. Sometimes two females get along well enough to house together but not male/female or male/male. You could do a search for beardie cohabitation problems and you'll find a lot of injuries and sometimes even death resulting from...

    Nail polish?!? Help please.

    Other than giving me a scare, he seems happy and healthy. No ill effects that I have noticed yet and trust me, I've been watching him closely.

    Inflammation nictitating membrane?

    If your little guy is 3-4 months old, then he'll be eating 80-120 crickets a day. He should be fed them two to three times a day in quantities of 40 to 45 at a time. Basically, it's everything he cares to eat within a ten to fifteen minute period. Juvenile beardies are insect eating machines...

    Could my dragon be sick?

    He needs to be over 18 inches from snout to tail tip to eat morio worms (superworms) since beardies smaller than that have a 90 degree kink in their digestive tract and it could impact them. I lost a beardie to impaction so I won't feed any hard shell worms to my dragons now. If you do ever...

    Could my dragon be sick?

    Sometimes they get bored with the same type of food. Maybe you could try some Reptiworms/Phoenix worms, butter worms, silk worms, horn worms, wax worms (as treats only - high fat), locusts, etc. Also, when did you last change out his UVB bulb? It's usually recommended every 6 months to be...

    Nail polish?!? Help please.

    I hardly ever wear nail polish but yesterday for fun painted my finger and toe nails purple. I didn't give it much thought today though while hand feeding Ziggy his collard greens (he's just now 6 months old and 18 1/4 inches long from snout to tail tip). I have to entice him to eat his...

    Often times shedding will make them lethargic, grumpy, and have a loss of appetite. I've never noticed either of mine staying in their hide because of shedding though. Maybe someone else has had other experiences and could reply too. From reading various posts in the past the three most...

    He is too young for brumation this year then. It may be parasites then. Fecal exams are anywhere from $12 to $36 here in the US depending on how many Vets are in your area and if you're in an urban or rural area.

    I'm not sure which part of the world you're from, so the "right season" is winter which would cover the US and Europe. If you're down under in Australia or such, it'd be summer and not the right time to conk out.
