    Stress marks for 3 months

    I upgraded my 8 1/2 month old female from a 20 gallon to a larger aquarium with a nice basking spot that she spends all day on. :D Nothing has changed with temps or feeding and she is having normal BMs but she has had stress marks galore since the new set up. She also hides in her cave all day...

    7 months major decrease in cricket appetite is that normal?

    She used to eat 50-60 crickets a day with veg and was shedding every other week and growing fast. Growth has slowed and now she is only eating 25-30 a day but eating greens still. Is this normal for them to wean off some crickets at this age? She is still active and acts fine with normal daily poos

    Is there a flushable disenfecting wipe?

    I have been using lysol wipes to pick poos up but you cant flush them and I hate having them sit in my garbage for a few days.

    I am guessing it will be 5 months next week assuming that a petsmart 5'' was a month old :? I am thinking maybe it is still too young to tell or do you think possibly female?

    For those who buy bulk crickets monthly

    I am trying to figure out how to keep the supply of crickets flowing. Do you purchase them once or twice a month? How many more crickets do you buy then your BD eats within the purchase times? For instance if your BD eats 1,000 every two weeks do you get 1,500? Do you keep track of how many you...

    My dragon finally became larger enough to eat the crickets in my towns pet shop so I didnt have to drive 20 minutes away. I have never had issues with deaths maybe 5 out of 10 dozen. I lost almost 6 dozen within a few days and they were in piles with some white thread stuff. Some were even...

    My BD basking spot is a log. The top end of the log is 100 and the lower part is 99 where he spends his time when basking. I am using the zoomed combo that comes with the heat lamp and red night lamp. I never use the night lamp but when I turn it on with the day lamp it raises the temp to a...

I dust vitamines monday-friday and calcium...
