    How Much Out of Enclosure time is recommended?

    I have a 3 year old beardie female living in a 40gallon breeder aquarium. Her temps are 100 at the basking spot and in the 80's in the cooler areas. She spends most of her time laying in the basking spot. She has had problems with constipation her whole life. She has been to the vet many, many...

    Brumation - Drop Temperatures?

    My beardie has started sleeping a lot and stopped eating and therefore stopped pooping. I have taken her to the vet for xrays and and bloodwork. Her weight is good and all tests are showing normal. I am giving her a soak once a week. She still lays on her log under her heat lamp most of the day...

    Maggots in Cricket Food

    I recently left town for a week and left my beardie in the care of a pet sitter. Apparently she did not follow my instructions to change the cricket food daily. When I got back, the cricket food bowl was full of maggots. I know they grow quickly so this could have happened toward the end. Do I...

    Glass Dancing sign of Too Much Heat?

    My poor beardie and I are having a time getting her heat right. She is 1.5 years and lives in a 40 gallon breeder tank. The bulbs I used to get have become locally unavailable, so I had to switch things up. I tried heating her tank with a Repti-Sun 100 watt and 150 watt, but I wasn't getting...

    Lizard Brain in Action

    Took Sunbeam out this weekend for a little genuine sunshine. She has a Pack N Play enclosure she is really terrified of, but we are working on it. I have part of it covered with a towel and the rest covered with mesh. I sit with the whole thing to make sure she doesn't make a break for it...

    Is this really enough heat?

    I live in SC, where the temperatures are pretty mild. In wintertime our house doesn't drop below 70 and if it does the heat kicks on, so I don't use a heater at night for Sunbeam. She is in a 40 gallon glass breeder tank. During the day, I have been using a 100 watt Zoo Med Repti Basking spot...

    Overweight adult

    I have a 20 month old adult female, and I am pretty sure she is getting overweight. Her belly almost drags. She was getting 10-20 crickets a day, with veggies. She would not eat her veggies at all until recently, so I didn't cut back out of fear she wouldn't get her vitamins. Now she is eating...

    Outside Temperature

    Spring and summer are coming, and I would like to give my beardie some outside time. I live in SC which has a very humid climate, so I don't want to get sick either. What temperature should it be before she can go outside? How many times a week? How long would be safe? Any real life...

    Eggs! Seriously??

    I have a single female that has started glass surfing. She is in a 40 gallon breeder aquarium. It isn't constant, but enough for me to think she needs more space. Definitely an uptick in her activity. So I have been reading and found the new "Egg" article. Let me start with full disclosure...

    Dragon Not Pooping on Own

    Our 9 month old dragon has stopped "going" on her own. She has spent a good deal of time at the vet. She has been through 30 days of antibiotics both oral and injection. She has been x-rayed, so she is not impacted. They found some pneumonia, which was the reason for the antibiotics. Still no...
