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...

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...

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...

Hello All, Found a baby dragon at a local P*T*S*ART and although we couldn't get the manager to give him up we decided that he was close enough to death that either he'd make their two week window or I'd be returning a not alive animal. Anyhow, We've got it to drink and take a nibble of...

I have a six month old (guestimating) who seem to be partially brumating.... The "baby" is at around 400-420 grams and was growing rapidly until about late december when she suddenly stopped growing and only was eating to maintain her weight and now has started "sleeping in" and not really...

Just curious when you were able to determine the sex of your bearded dragons? We have two females and two males. Each male we could tell gender (for certain) after 4-6 months. With both males we did see what looked like potential male bits with a flashlight after a month or two but each of them...

Saw a citrus bearded dragon (looked vitticeps) on survivor tonight. So guessing they stage their wild life shots? But really, Cambodia and bearded dragons in the jungle?

Hello, We have a beardie that finished treatment for pinworms/hookworms and coccidia over 4-5 weeks ago. She was hooked on the syringe feeding happily gobbling down food. Over the last few weeks we weaned her off the syringe feedings and moved her to insects. We've cut off the syringe...

Can't get our beardie to eat insects. She was syringe fed for ~5 weeks as she got sick then was treated with panacur then baycox. She's clear of all parasites and we weaned her down to one feeding per day over last week then this weekend we cut off the syringe. Well she was in full stress marks...

Have a juvenile three weeks out after deworming for hooks/pins and 8 days out after coccidia treatment. Coccidia were fairly bad. Our other dragon who was treated and cured for the same started eating the day after the coccidial treatment ended. This one will lap up from the syringe but if I...

So we've got two dragons that just got treated for worms and are on the docket for coccidia treatment in the next few weeks. That means we've been swapping out all of their cage furniture with rocks (that can be baked) and have put in egg crates so they can climb to get closer to the reptisun...

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone had done their own fecals shortly after de-worming their dragons. Long-story shot we did a three day course of panacur/fenbendazole (at 35mg/kg) for pinworms. Monitoring fecals during this time showed that we had cleared the eggs by day three but on day...

Have a beardie with moderate pins/hooks just finished panacure for that and fecal symptoms resolved but we also had moderate numbers of trichomonas/flagellates. Since we aren't eating yet we are tempted to treat for flagellates as well since metronidazole is such a short course. Anyone have...

Hi All, So I have a juvenile (28-30 grams, 9 inches) who went from eating around 17 medium crickets, a few 1/2 inch roaches a day and some greens/squash/cactus pear to nothing over two days. She's had a few smaller poops since then that are a little softer than normal. She has been drinking...

Hello, proud parent of (2) bearded dragons here, 1 juvenile (13 grams) and 1 baby (8 grams). We've got our animals housed in their own separate 55 gallon vivariums with a basking area lit by a 150 watt neodymium bulb (can't recall the manufacturer off hand, maybe all living things?). Temps are...
