Can anyone give me a straight answer (backed by facts and science, like Sheldon Cooper I am ruled by logic) as to why coil bulbs are so bad :dontknow: . I know many reputable reptile stores, friends, and even vets who themselves use coil bulbs and have no issues with them...ever. While I...

Thanks again Brandon. I got a temp UVB light in there for the mean time. (Repti-glo 10.0 coil, my old one it turns out was a 5.0 so, not enough light at all) I also replaced the basking bulb with a 50 watt instead of a 75 watt and now the temp stays between 101-105 where he lays and the ambiant...

So update on this... if anyone is reading and cares to know, yesterday he sat outside in the REAL sun all day in a screen enclosure. He seemed much better after a day in the sun and he finally ate two 1/4 inch crickets before he curled up on his stick. So hopefully getting him some UVB not from...

I am wondering if the temps are too high can that cause all of this. With the digital probe rigt on his basking spot I have seen the temps go from 102 - 125 degrees and back down. I am thinking that 125 is WAY too high. I also know that he does move up and down on the log-thing he lays on...

Yes I dust with Fluker's Phosphorus free Calcium with Vitamin D 6 days a week, but was recently told that may be too often so I am going to reduce it down to 3-4 days per week. I don't know how much calcium he is getting now since he isn't eating any solid food... i am adding a tiny pinch to the...

Oh okay, I will try and get the probe onto his stick asap. They have little suction cups on them so I will have to figure out a way to make it stick there. He still is showing no interest in solid (live) food and will only eat the baby food and Repti-Care from a syringe but, at least he is...

Okay digi thermometer is in... I got a Zilla Digital Terrarium Thermomenter-Hygrometer with 2 remote sensor probes.It has been in there for over one hour as you suggested. Saying the temp near-ish his basking spot (as close as I can get it... he tends to lay about 2 inches from where I have the...

I am trying live food still but he seems to ignore it. The same wax worm has been hanging out under his cactus for nearly three days now. (Isn't bothering him at all just wiggling around in the tank). He is lapping up the repti-care and some baby food but, other than that he seems disinterested...

I am using rept-carpet for his subsrate since I know sand can cause impaction in the little ones. I plan on getting the probe thermometer today after work from petsmart but, I am not using a dial one either, the one I have is simply a strip with different colored blocks and degrees on the side...

Hi everybody, sorry this is going to be a long post but, I feel the more details you have the better the answers I get will be. I have a baby bearded dragon that I got about a month ago. I would guess he was 3 weeks old when I got him making him almost 2 months old. Recently (the last week or...

Don't normally join forums however, I am so fascinated by these little guys and the people who love them this seemed like a good time to change that stand point of mine. I got my first beardie on March 17th and got over my first issue of him not eating (apparently he didn't like the phoenix...
