I'm not sure if this is still a thing but I remember hearing that when new carpet is installed it lets of toxic fumes that can harm/kill animals. I am having new carpet installed in my house, do I need to keep the dragon out of the house for a few days?

My Beardie is just over a year old. He has been very active but not eating much. I let him have free reign in my office while I work. He uses a bath towel as a ladder to climb into and out of his cage as he pleases. Recently he has been running around the office non stop climbing up to his tank...

So my husband and I are going to be living in a new state for the next 3 months for work and our pets are coming with us. I don't trust anyone here to watch my beardie so him, my leopard gecko, and Pac-man frog will be going together. I was thinking of just building a temporary set up for him...

Hello, my beardie likes to run around my office while I am working. Sometimes he finds a dark corner and takes a nap during the day as well. My question is if I should not allow him long naps during the day away from his UVB? I have a basking spot set up for him and he often hangs out under it...

Hello, I recently realized that my UBV exposure had been insufficient. I was using a 10.0 T8 at over 10 inches away so my beardie has probably not been getting enough. I just switched (about 5 days ago) to a 10.0 T5 and upgraded to a 22" bulb/fixture with a build in reflector (from Calorina...

Hello all, I am upgrading my beardie to a T5 because I can't get the T8 close enough to him. I measured from where the new bulb will be to his basking spot and its 10-12 inches depending on where he sits. That measurement is right from the bulb to the base of his spot though. Do I need to take...

Hello, my beardie has been acting kind of lethargic this past week. Normally he likes to come out and run around my office while I work from home but lately he has just been laying under his hammock/ramp. He has been eating fairly normally maybe less enthusiastic towards his dubia roaches and...

I have heard that the Mercury Vapor bulbs are suppose to be good and provide heat and UVB. I also see some people use both. Could I just use a MVB instead of the florescent and still get good UVB exposure? Any recommendations for what wattage I would need for proper UVB exposure? Thank you

I recently got some large full size roaches in the mail. They are pretty big for my 6 month old dragon but he handles them fine. My question is how many of these large dubias should I give him in a day? I can't imagine more than 2 would be needed to fill his belly and I don't want to over feed...

Hello, I recently got a male 6 month old bearded dragon. This is my first male and he is getting stressed and aggressive toward his reflections. I put up paper on the sides but I am not sure what to do about the glass doors. He's been puffing up like a balloon and beard flashing himself...

Hello, my bearded dragon past away after having surgery for a mouth abscess. I just got a new guy who arrived in the mail yesterday. He is a hypo paradox named Kino. He has been stressed it seems since he arrived. He has stress marks and has been running around the cage like he wants to get out...

Hello, about a month ago my bearded dragon started having a swollen area on the right part of his mouth. I took him to the vet who thinks it is an abscess and put him on injectable antibiotics for a month. Once when he was eating it popped and there was blood everywhere. But then after it popped...

Hey all, I have been letting my beardie out in my office everyday while I work for about 1-2 hours for exercise. He runs around exploring pretty much the whole time. Sometimes I catch him taking a nap in a dark corner as well. I've checked that there isn't really anything he can get into and...

Hello, my guy is both very lazy and very stubborn about his food. He is 7 months old and has never more than nibbled his salads. I have heard that I could take a "tough love" kind of stance and withhold bugs to get him into eating his salads. My questions is how long should I hold out before I...

Hey there, so currently I have been using a Reptisun 10.0 T8 bulb. Its the 18" and its mounted inside the tank about 10 inches from the basking spot. My beardie has been pretty lethargic and not eating very much. He has been to the vet who did x-rays and didn't see signs of MBD but I am...

Hey so I have a 6 month old beardie and I notice he has never been as active as some I see online. If I pick him up and move him he tends to just stay in that spot. He moves from spot to spot in his cage but not much when I take him out. He doesn't come running for insects or anything either...

I am currently just buying the size I need but I've been thinking of starting a small colony. I have one growing beardie and a leopard gecko to feed so I was thinking breeding them would save me some money. One think I don't see in the info I've been reading is how anyone can sort through their...

Hello, in an effort to get my newer beardie to get used to my presence I have made him a little spot at my desk. I work from home so I am working there with him next to me. I have a heat light for him at the right temp but I worry about taking him away from the UVB. How long do you think is okay...

I am still not quite understanding how I make sure my beardie is properly hydrated. Do I just assume that if he is eating bugs that he is getting enough hydration? He's just a baby so do I need to be doing daily baths and hoping he gets enough through the vent? He is not a fan of drinking during...

Hey there, I got my guy from a reptile show about a week ago. I probably got him a little too young and he was touch and go for a while and wouldn't eat and was very weak. With daily baths and his newfound love of BSFL he seems to be recovering. One thing I have noticed is that he closes his...
