A few months back a post caught my eye on issues with the zoomed reptisun T5 HO and terrible uvb intensities well short of the replacement window. It caused me to revisit my lighting and bulb rotation. Long story short, all of my six month old bulbs were emitting less than my new 5.0s by six...

Final update: Fedex formally declined to reimburse me for the shipping costs or for the lost revenue. (Bearded dragon needed a veterinary visit according to the recipient.) Their reason is "Prohibited Item Shipment". I've now spent an hour on two calls with managers and gotten nowhere. All I...

He is doing even better this evening. At more roaches and is exploring his new habitat. So far, things look quite good. Let's knock on wood and in a few weeks we should be in the clear I'm thinking.

Got a final update from FedEx. It appears the package did not make the evening deadline and was airshipped the next morning from Seattle. From there it went to Memphis and was flow O/N to Waukesha WI. At that point the packaged was pulled out of the shipping container and put with the rest of...

Thank you for all of the advice and good vibes. As was pointed out, this evening, another packaged popped up and we intercepted it in WI, at an office location (couldn't believe they were able to do this). It contained our baby, fully alive and very alert and just slightly cool. Once home (45...

Yeah, it says it is in Milwaukee, but that is actually for the shipping container it was supposed to be loaded on. The package itself is officially lost per the staff at the Milwaukee hub. Both containers that came from Memphis have been since unloaded and our package was never scanned after...

784681193425 tracking, now shows no date of expected arrival. Shipping container was scanned in WI but actual box was not. Thank you for the replies, even with the shipping info it now shows no definate shipping arrival time. I have been hounding manager after manager but it does appear it was...

Shipped a juvenile bearded dragon with Fedex priority O/N. One night became three days became a lost package probably dead dragon. Obviously I made a mistake in shipping with them and based on other reviews I am going to highly recommend NO ONE on this board EVER ship with them. I feel...

He's doing about the same. Am getting around 1.4 mls of various foods into him. He doesn't mind eating whatever I mix up but it's just a limitation in volume.... Since last Thursday he's up three grams at least. I've been exercising him and making him use the less mobile limbs as well as...

We've tried a few hornworms and silkworms but he will just watch them but has yet to strike. Hand feeding doesn't do anything with him until he gets a taste, shown no interest in bugs by hand either, roaches, silks or hornworms all micro sized. Has taken some super worm guts but that was even a...

I think there are arguments for and against getting "hatchlings" and what equipment and enclosure to choose, so I would look around and educate yourself before you make these decisions. Many of those decisions will depend on your experience, access to a reptile vet, environment and temp...

Got a rescue with initially locked hind limbs, locked tail and minimal use of his front legs.--Clearly a "he" since he couldn't retract them originally, even though he's only ten grams. We've had solid progress over the last 4 days with some ability to move the hind legs and tail coming back and...

Float is positive for coccidia, hookworms, roundworms and pinworms. Numbers aren't high but there are a lot of degenerate looking oocysts. I'm guessing he's so sick his parasites are dying. Now comes the tough choice of when to treat. His float could have been the textbook on what you can find...

How's your dragon doing since you started panacur? As an alternative to the A/D critical care (carnivore) has nursed our babies through parasite explosions. Just to double check but do you know the strength of the panacur and your dragons weight?

Well he's still eating, extremely weak though and hard to keep awake to feed. Has started opening both eyes and repositioning himself in the heat at least. Went twice today though with a pastey urate this evening. Already beginning to look much less dehydrated. Direct fecal was clear and we are...

Hi Kristina, we have raised two babies to adults who had thick eyelids with a little crusty appearance exactly like yours. One of these dragons did eventually get lesions that sloughed skin but they were never necrotic and ulcerative. The other dragon never got lesions but did get patchy yellow...
