This is what I have right now. Just topsoil in there, and I still need to pack it higher at one end like you suggested. I think I may have another bigger bin if necessary but let me know what you think?

OK yeah that makes sense! I did already take the big custom rock thing I made out to put the current bin in there, I'll just post some pics in a little bit for feedback.

First, thanks for the input! Second, question... I like the idea of the smaller sized one because I work for most of the day, and I don't want to go without providing a dig area in the tank when she could decide that the time when I'm out is when she wants to do her thing. But even the small...

Hi guys, it's been a while. I wasn't sure if this topic should go in housing or health or what, but uh. I'd like to pick your brains a bit because something kind of unexpected happened yesterday! Sssssoooo despite the fact that I've had Dog for nearly 3 years now, yesterday during a vet visit...

Man I posted this topic and then life threw me a curve ball and I'm only just getting around to checking again. Sorry about that. BUT. Awesome, thank you both! I'll look into these options... my little point and click zoo-med thing just isn't doing it.

Long time, no post. I'm back with another question, but hopefully a simple one: What kind of temperature gun do you guys personally recommend? I'm in the market. I already have one of the little zoo med pocket-sized sensors, but I find that it's incredibly inaccurate most of the time (with the...

Hey everyone, Dog's owner here again. I think it's been a little while since I posted to the forums, but since I last checked in I have had him to a vet and found out that Dog is, in fact, a him. The vet was fantastic and really knew her stuff, and she confirmed for me that Dog definitely has...

Unfortunately it's not free, it'll run me 60 bucks if I take it. I think I'll stick with what I've got for now. Thanks!

Oh also she is about 5 years old and just under 16 inches long.

I finally got an offer on a possible tank upgrade for Dog. Right now she's in a 36"x18"x12" tank because I got her under kind of dire circumstances and that's all I had on hand. Someone is offering me a 48"x12"x22". I definitely want to give her more height but I feel like the 12" deep is...

Will do, thank you! Any thoughts on where the parasites may have manifested from? Mainly just want to know so that I can avoid potential causes in the future. (also she has just begun to shed, I don't know if this contributes to anything at all)

Hey this is Anna with Dog the rescued beardie again. She's been doing well and putting on weight, perking up with the right lighting and temperature. I've had her here for a little over a week now. I think she has pooped about... four times? four or five, since I brought her home, and the...

I just ordered a bunch more phoenix worms so I'll probably go with that for a while, and then maybe switch to crickets.

Thank you! She seems to have really perked up a good amount :) Need to get some more phoenix worms to make sure I have enough insects stocked up.

So I should probably either shell out for some phoenix worms, or, just feed her supers every other day or so and make sure she has fresh salad? I think I should be able to do that.

Hello everyone. You may have seen me on a few of the other boards. I'm just gonna copy and paste my beardie's back story for some context: I'm trying to figure out what kind of staple insect to give Dog, that strikes a good balance between nutrition and cost. I thought I'd be set with phoenix...

Aw thank you so much! Yeah that seems to be where she likes to bask. She has a basking rock in front of that, which is further from the UVB light, but she seems to prefer to sit on her branch instead. I'll take the hood off for now and just keep an eye out to make sure she isn't getting eye...

Yep it's the Reptisun 10.0 T8. It's not a HO, I didn't realize that you could put the HO on top of a screen and still get her the proper UVB, so I assumed mounting on the inside of the tank was my only option, and assuming THAT I figured I'd better get the gentler light. Her tank is 18" front to...

Not very far at all, probably 10 inches at most, likely closer to 8, which I has been concerned might be an issue but I had also heard that the screen would block uvb as well? So im not sure which approach is better for the time being.

Thank you all! :D Minor update, she's doing a lot better now with that UVB setup. Appetite is already improving, she's actually eating her greens now. Quick question, which I may need to make a separate topic for on the lighting board: This is how I've got her light set up, should i maybe take...
