    Help- New habitat lighting

    Hello everyone. I moved our beardie, Lucy from her 20gal to a 4'x2'x12" viv we customized from a display case. It has glass along the length, sliding glass doors in the front, and wood sides for the width. I installed a 1/4 metal screen on the top and layed textured ceramic tile for the...

    Lucy MBD help

    Sorry I haven't checked this forum in a while. I looked at both Lexis and Cassie... poor babies! I'm so glad they are getting better! Thank you for everyone's kind words. Lucy is doing absolutely fantastic! We love her so much, and I just love her curiosity and spunk :) I lost count on how many...

    I will keep giving it to her as I am then, not on her crickets. Hopefully she will put up with it for at least a month.

    Lucy MBD help

    Lol When I stacked up her rocks to give her a ramp to the top of her log, she looked as excited as a kid on Christmas morning. She spent a good long time climbing up and down over and over. She's also taken to burrowing and exploring under her paper towels. Also she occasionally climbs up her...

    Lucy MBD help

    I can't upload photos from my phone atm, but Lucy is doing fantastic! She is chasing after her crickets with vigor, eating a large salad every day, and is very active. We are going to have to upgrade her tank very soon! She is climbing and walking on her back legs very well. She pushes up with...

    beardie's stool

    Thank you. I will keep watching. She's our first Beardie and has MBD, so I am super cautious with any changes.

    beardie's stool

    I have had our dragon for three weeks now. She was rehomed with us. Her stool has always been what I thought was well formed. It is in the long sack, with the white urate at the tip. It has always been accompanied by a liquid which causes a circle of slightly yellow moisure on the paper towels...

    Lucy MBD help

    Thank you. I try to spoil all my babies. We have three children, two kitties (siblings rescued ferals-though you'd never guess!), Audrey our sweet shepherd/lab who we adopted last year, and now Lucy. I will post some more pictures in a couple days, maybe I can get one of her using her new...

    Lucy MBD help

    Lucy is doing well :) She is going through her first shed (with us). She's moving around her tank a little more, and she really perks up at feeding time. She has been getting up on all four legs to eat sometimes! Her belly almost leaves the floor. We're so excited about that. Lucy also tries...

    Opinions on UVB bulb

    Sorry I should have clarified that. Her UVB bulb starts where her basking bulb ends. It was so I wouldn't inadvertently melt the plastic of the 18", but I'm glad that set up is good. I meant it hangs in the center of the lid rather than closer to the front or back or the tank. Oh, wait are you...

    Opinions on UVB bulb

    It was recommended at 6" but I can easily adjust it. I strung metal wire through all four corners of the light fixture, down the length of it, and brought those through the metal mesh of her screen lid, twisted and clamped it down. The cord is secured going up through a corner of the screen and...

    Opinions on UVB bulb

    The bulb is a T8, it has a refector, and I have it 6 inches from her. She doesn't climb :cry: I removed the plastic cover from the fixture as well. The bulbs I was looking at are these: http://m.petco.com/product/122963/Zoo-Med-ReptiSun-100-Mini-Compact-Fluorescent-Lamp.aspx#. Are these still...

    Opinions on UVB bulb

    Hello. I am currently using a ReptiSun 10.0 fluorescent 18" bulb. I found another lamp fixture in my storage room that takes two compact bulbs. I was curious if I could use the ReptiSun 10.0 mini compact fluorescent bulbs with that fixture as well as my current one when I get her a bigger viv...

    Lucy MBD help

    Swimming in the bath sounds like a good idea! I already ordered the calcium from the website, so just waiting for shipment. I got her three different flavors in hopes she will enjoy at least one. Hmm... I will have to do a little research and see what types of "exercise" I can give her, and...

    Lucy MBD help

    Lucy does have quite the personality. When she doesn't want her greens, she closes her eyes and turns her head away. I always laugh because the action seems so sassy, especially when she'll perk right back up for a cricket. Yesterday while my husband fed her, she actually stood on her hind legs...

    Lucy MBD help

    So I was wrong, I've only had Lucy for 2 weeks. This is when we first got her. I had placed her on her new basking area, but when I realized she couldn't get down safely, I removed it from her terrarium. And this is Lucy as of yesterday. You can see she's put on a little weight :D You can...

    Lucy MBD help

    I have sandstone slab rocks for her to bask on the hot side to replace the stone log I had in there. The hot side temp is between 95 and 100 but on the basking area, it gets to 110-115. I can readjust and lower her UVB fixture more. She doesn't seem to do well on her front legs either :( I...

    Lucy

    I was recently gifted with a sweet bearded dragon, Lucy, who was being rehomed. We jumped at chance to get to know such a wonderful creature. She came with her set up and some remaining food. To my knowledge she was fed crickets, mealworms, fresh greens and fruit, and a dried vegetable mix, as...
