    Atadenovirus and my Dragon

    My beardie Rook is my first and only dragon. He was three months old and 10 inches long when I got him. He settled in relatively quickly, eagerly eating dubia, worms of all variety, and veggies ranging from collards to squash. A few weeks later, I took him into the vet to get checked up on...

    Hunger Strike: The Worms of Desire

    My beardie is currently on a hunger strike against dubia roaches and crickets. Before this, he decided that he was too good for greens as well (squash only...). I only know that he is not completely starving himself because he goes wild for superworms, hornworms, and phoenix worms. This is...

    Darkened Skin Beneath Spike on Side (Identify)

    I recently took my boy Rook into the vet for a post parasite treatment. While I was waiting, I noticed this little darkened area on his side. I brought it up to my vet, where we both concluded that it was probably not yellow fungus, but she couldn't identify it. Has anyone ever seen anything...

    Proportional Thermostat Tips

    Hey guys, I was thinking about getting a proportional thermostat for my beardie's basking area, which currently consists of a 75w halogen flood lamp along side a 100w Megaray MVB. I manually monitor the basking temps to be around 105-110 for my juvenile since I'm home all day (work overnight)...

    MVB & Calcium

    So I use a 100w megaray (within 14 inches of the basking spot) as one of my UV sources that runs about 8 hours of the day on the basking spot along with a 75w halogen flood that stays on during all of the day hours. Both are currently above the screen, as I have a vision cage and wouldn't be...

    Halogen Flood Lamp Vs Zoo Med Basking Spot Lamp

    So, I have used both, and it's definitely true that halogen flood lamps are VASTLY superior. I'm using a Phillips halogen flood that I got from Home Depot for $7, and not only does it give me higher basking temps than a 100 watt zoo med bulb, but it doesn't heat the fixture as much. It actually...

    Fluorescent Mounted Light Fixture Recommendation

    I'm currently using a zoomed hooded light fixture above my vision cage's screen, but I'm exploring the possibility of mounting a light fixture within it. If you're familiar with Vision cages, I'm currently using a V415, which is 48 x 16 x 21. The space situation on the "ceiling" of it is tricky...

    MVB & UVB 10.0 tube used in combination

    Would it be okay to use a 100w Megaray MVB in combination with a Reptisun 10.0 UVB T5 HO lamp? I'm currently set up in a 48 x 16 x 21 vision cage and only using the reptisun tube and a 100w basking lamp. My juvenile spends most of his time under the basking lamp, so I'm wondering if putting in...

    Rook; New dragon, to a first time owner (Questions Inside!)

    I've been frequenting these forums as just a reader for awhile, doing my research before I got my dragon, but I've decided to finally participate now. I've had him for a grand total of 24 hours now, so I'm still getting him settled in. His name is Rook. I got him from a local breeder who has...
