    Purple LED Plant Lights

    I recently moved my plants next to my adult (6-year-old) beardie's enclosure to overwinter them. I use purple LED lights that are on the same timer as the heat lamp, CHE. I have noticed he has started trying to bask on the side of the enclosure next to where the plants and purple lights are...

    Overheating but won't move from basking spot

    He is improving slowly, better today than a few days ago! His pads are up but definitely not as firm as they used to be. I was thinking of getting NutriBac. The Reptiboost came today and he ate the whole 3ml which is more than he has eaten in one sitting so far, and he really perked up after...

    Overheating but won't move from basking spot

    .05 mm on the reptaid. He was 503 grams when I started him on it. I'm going to pick up some type of probiotic today to see if that will help him handle it a little better. Urates are firm but not chalky, sort of like a hard boiled egg. I'm pretty sure it's been staying above 70 at night...

    Overheating but won't move from basking spot

    I have the solarglo 125. I lowered his log level so the whole thing is about 16 inches from the bulb. Before it was about 12 inches at the high point. It's been like that for years and he has always just moved around on the log to get different angles and heights to thermoregulate. His urates...

    Overheating but won't move from basking spot

    Cass is 6 years old and usually semi-brumates for a few weeks during the summer. Last month I thought he was doing his normal thing, but then he stopped going in his cave, he would just sit around all day, not eating. He was losing weight rapidly so I started giving him greens/veggie slurries...

    Can't figure out what's wrong

    Thanks for the info, I will order the bee pollen right now! He is under a 100 watt Power Sun purchased last month. He did act this way prior to the medication which is why I took him to the vet to begin with...just seemed not himself for a few weeks and when he had a runny poo I took him to a...

    Can't figure out what's wrong

    I have a 4-year-old beardie who has just doesn't seem to feel well. He has been on Flagyl per vet for trichamonas every two weeks, one dose left, but it's not helping. He had one good day last week, his color brightened and he was running all over, but turned out he just needed to poop. He eats...

    Baycox "survey"

    I was talking to my vet today about Baycox because he wanted to prescribe Albon for my 9-month-old and 5-month-old beardies. I have used Baycox once in the past with pretty good results, but he said it has not been tested long term in reptiles and he wouldn't risk it. I'm wondering how many...

    Beardie hearty but lazy

    My Norm has been like that since day one...he would sit in the corner and wait for the crickets to march around the perimeter, then snatch them as they turned the corner! I switched to dubias for a few months ago and he did the exact same thing. Luckily, it's much easier to "direct" the dubias...

    Probably dumb questions, but...

    OK, I have a couple questions. do the color of stress marks change as they get older? About a week ago I noticed Norm had very mild stress marks, but instead of the dark color they are light grey with orange in the middle (he is an orange dragon). Is that normal? He started his Panacur paste...

    Dead/Live Superworms in container

    Yeah, I decided not to feed any and I'm glad I did...I was trying to figure out what to do with the ones that were still alive (I feel bad just throwing them away...I know they're "only bugs" but in my mind, they feel pain and get scared!) I went to give them some fresh apples tonight and they...

    Dead/Live Superworms in container

    Hi, I go into our local Petco every Tuesday because the manager clears out any superworms and reptiworms over a week old and gives me 75% off. I went in yesterday and got a few 75-count medium superworms. When I got home, the smell was awful and there were quite a few dead black ones. There...

    protecting food

    Norm is usually very lazy and mellow...has been since we brought him home. But when I walked in with Cass, Norm immediately started bobbing so hard he was bouncing off the ground! I was laughing so hard. Poor Cass just kept waving, one arm at a time, as big as he could. Even after I put paper...

    protecting food

    LOL that would be funny to watch! My dog won't go near the beardies...she's scared of everything. The cat in the picture always jumps up when I have Cass out and sniffs him, then he licks her nose a few times and she nuzzles him. It is cute but makes me nervous to have her mouth so close to...

    protecting food

    This made me laugh so I just wanted to share it. I have spoiled my two beardies by hand feeding and am trying to break the habit, so I set a bowl of dubias in with Cass, which he ignored...until the cat heard them and decided to watch from the other side of the glass. Cass immediately jumped...

    Dubias and Poop...(warning...poo pic!)

    I was feeding my older beardie, Norm, crickets for the first few months of his life and he always had "normal-looking" but very smelly poos. I thought that's just how they smelled, first beardie and all. Then I tried dubias and he quickly dumped the crickets and would only eat dubias as his...

    Noremac and Cass

    Hi, My son got Noremac back in March when he was about 6 inches long, and I posted a few questions, and have been lurking ever since. My son got fed up with me "mothering" his pet and told me to get my own...I thought about it for a few weeks and then found a beardie clearance at PetCo...$18...

    Relocation stress?

    My son got sick of me 'mothering' his beardie so I had to get my own. Petco was having a 'beardie clearance' ...$18 for the bigger ones. I held one and fell in love...he was so calm, especially for a baby - well, 10 inches. I've had him (Cass) about a week now and have him in a 40 breeder...
