"The phase-out of incandescent light is to begin with the 100-watt bulb in 2012 and end in 2014 with the 40-watt. All light bulbs must use 25 percent to 30 percent less 2014. By 2020, bulbs must be 70 percent more efficient than they are today. " While I am a firm supporter of getting rid of...

I uploading some pictures off my microdrive the other day and stumbled across some photos of Obie a few months before she passed. That's when I realized that we had a Christmas tree setup right near her tank. Could the pine have killed her? I know strong smelling wood like pine and cedar is...

I just finished putting together our gecko setups. They were in these enclosures the whole time Ive had them, but I just finished setting up the backgrounds. I took some cork bark and cut it to make a shelf in each tank and then took a cork bark tube and cut it in half so they would each have...

Hey guys and gals, you might remember me I was pretty active on the forum a while back. I haven't done more than poke around on here once in a while since Obie died. Currently we are keeping a pair of crested geckos. Here are some pictures of our little buggers. Julian Libby...

Obie unexpectedly died on Saturday. :( She was livelier than she had been in a long time that morning; lots of glass dancing and I was excited to see that she was active again and thought she was coming out of her brumation. Then she crawled into her hide and went to sleep. I checked up on...

I contacted Reptile UV about the bulb because in my tank angled mounting is necessary. I had one in before but because I was told the bulb would fail if not hung downward I removed it because it was overheating the basking area. I loved the quality of lighting I had before and read some very...

T-Rex UV Heat or Megaray? I am actually looking for the one with less heat.

I thought Obie was simply brumating because she was sleeping a whole lot and not eating very much. Well in the last 5 days or so she has been more active at times and basking a lot. She has however continued to snub food. I also noticed that a few of her nails have grown more brittle over the...

Obie's temperatures are already dropping to 65 degrees at night and its not even winter yet so I am going to get a ceramic heat emitter soon when I order some other supplies like supplements. My question is what wattage to get? I have never needed a CHE in the past. My enclosure is a 4x2x2...

I took out her basking platforms recently because the surface temps got extremely hot. So I put in a big piece of driftwood that runs the length of the cage beneath the basking and reptisun bulbs. I have noticed that she is oddly really clumsy about moving around on the drift wood and does...

I thought I'd put together a topic on setting up enclosures for current and future dragon owners out there to help stem the confusion fed to people by petstore employees. Size Minimum tank size for one adult dragon is a 40 gallon breeder tank according to many, but I highly recommend something...

Just wondering how old everyones bearded dragons are. My dragon, Obie, is about 4 1/2 years old now.

Obie has been spending way to much time under her basking platform so I am thinking about taking it out and getting a large piece of driftwood for her enclosure. Anyone have any tips on finding some. I used to live by the Mississippi but were I am going to school there isnt any major...

What I thought was another bad shed has stuck around for too long for comfort. It appears that she may have yellow fungus (possibly for the second time). A year or so ago in a completely different tank with loose substrate Obie's skin had some yellow patches on it. So I was told to treat it...

So I took Obie's 100watt Megaray SB out of her crossfire enclosure recently because it was producing about 108 degrees at her basking spot (which had to be at the very bottom of the tank, not raised, to keep it that low) and she was spending alot of her time hiding and little time basking. I...

I am switching from a MVB to a 24" Reptisun 10.0 bulb. What size is the bulb? T12, T10, T8, T5 etc.? I would assume T8, but couldn't find that info online. I bought one through lllreptile. I am planning on that UVB plus two halogen bulbs for heat within her crossfire style enclosure.

Is compact flourecent lighting safe to use as extra lighting? Obie's Megaray heats her whole enclosure but doesnt light up the cool end of the tank so I put a CFL (coil style low wattage bulb) in that end. I was just wondering because they have always kinda messed with my eyes.

My bearded dragon has a wound on her tail. She lost part of her tail 3 years when housed at Petco with other young bearded dragons before I got her. This means that she does not always have an easy time shedding her tail. Currently she had a sore spot. Nothing major just sore scales which were...

How long do they live in the cups? I want to do a bulk order of them. Do you need to supply feed to them?
