    Sheds lower jaw frequently

    For some reason Jim seems to shed his lower jaw and neck more than the upper jaw and head . This started in spring when he came out of his slow down . It seems like the bottom jaw is getting slightly longer than the upper . It is not really a big difference , just a little off when viewed from...

    Still growing

    I had thought that Jim would not grow much more since his winter slow down . I had been told that since he was the size of an adult when he was about 10-11 months old that he should not grow much more . Just for fun I weighed and measured him today . He has grown an inch since May ( now 22in)...

    UVB & health

    What problem could be caused by being too close to a uvb bulb ( repti-sun 10)? I know they can have eye issues but is there anything else ? Could being too close be the cause of hard urates?

    urates

    I had been looking around on other sites ( forums and some breeders) and had noticed that most said that urates are supposed to be somewhat hard not soft or liquid . That it is totally normal as long as they are white. Any opinions?

    Ending winter slow down.

    I realize that all beardies are different and may all behave differently . But I was wondering about winter slow downs . Do they come out of it as the days get longer or is it more of a temperature thing ?

    Phoenix worm smell

    Since Jim was having what I believe is a winter slowdown I wanted to try something better in nutrition bought some phoenix worms to see if Jim likes them . He won't touch crickets but will still eat supers so I figured phoenix worms should appeal to him . Jim will eat 1 then turn away , he...

    Do dubias bite?

    I am thinking about switching to dubias and ditching the crickets . I know that crickets will/can bite a beardie if they are left in the enclosure overnight . So what I am wondering if dubias will also bite a beardie if one is forgotten in the enclosure overnight.
