We are relocating this summer and will be driving about 8 hours per day for three days (1750 miles total). We have one dragon, Spencer, who is three and will come with us. I need to know the best way to handle this. We intend to travel with his tank but I'm not sure if its safe for him? Its a...

So I into to Petsmart this morning while waiting for my car to have an oil change bc my daughter loves to look at the animals. Of course there was a beautiful little dragon who was very sociable as soon as we walked to the tank. He ran all over, jumping up on the glass to try to get to us, then...

Okay, I think we may be heading into brumation. Spencer doesn't eat, doesn't bask, lazes and sleeps allllll day in his shady spot (he doesn't have a true hide or cave because he was trying to bromate too young), and doesn't seem to have any interest in life. Tank is 31x18 (we've been looking...

Yes, you read that right. Three weeks. We are still on vacation and have been gone three weeks now. Spencer had a normal poop on the 24th June (when I was still with him) and not since. I set his tank up, temps are fine, my dad says he's eating fine and he's doing warm baths every third day...

I posted a while back that we would be taking a monthlong trip this summer. Well that starts this week so I moved our animals to my parents house. Since my dad works from home and has many, many animals, he's not a stranger to daily care (although he's never kept a reptile). Plus, they offered...

We are taking a trip this summer and will be moving all of our pets to my parents for the duration of the trip. This includes our dragon, Spencer. I plan to take his whole tank there but my mom is VERY wary about the dubia being brought in. I have a tub here but can't take them. I'm honestly...

Currently we have a 17" bulb but I think it's too far away from where Spencer sits and causing his laziness and minimal eating. What should I replace with? His basking spot is 13" away from the bulb and about 6-7" from his basking bulb. I attached pics of his ridiculously boring tank setup...

Spencer is 6 months old and not acting like himself. He's staying in the cave half the day, barely eating (2-3 bites of greens, normally he eats he whole bowl throughout the day), maaaaaybe 1-3 bugs (dubia usually), won't touch any worms lately at all, and when he eats it is slow. Like, his body...

So....this is going to be about poop. Sorry! Spencer typically poops every day or every other day, almost exclusively in a bath. Today he pooped three times. Two were normal and then there was this crazy thing. It's like mummified Dubia roaches and hornworms. Typical stools are softish brown...

So I have a 20 gal glass tank with roughly 200 1/2" sized and 10 adult females and 3 adult males. There are about 8 egg crates stacked vertically in the tank, a water dish and another dish with chicken feed as well as scraps from the fridge- lettuces, veggies, etc. Daily, there are dead ones...

Hey guys, wondering how much time out of the tank is normal? I try to take my son's little guy out during the day and he typically stays on my shoulder while I do chores but our home is a busy one (with dogs) and he can't roam. I feel badly that he spends so much time in the tank... Btw, he's a...

Getting exhausted with how complicated this is becoming. Spencer doesn't eat. He like mealworms, will eat them if they're moving actively but once they settle he ignores them. The greens he skips. Crickets though... he will eat maybe three per feeding IF they come to him and get within range and...

I don't know what's going on. I freaked out today after I went in to check our new bulb and temped the hot spot at 134!! Wth? I pulled Spencer out, opened the doors, and turned off the lamp for a while and put back in the old bulb. Problem is, the previous bulb is a ZooMed 25watt basking light...

I know the favorite minimum is 4x2 but for a limited space could a 36"X18" be sufficient for the life of a dragon? It's a nearly new viv with front slider glass doors, all electric is run and it's completely ready; of just have to clean it and add our own accessories. The owners dragon passed...

I got my infrared gun yesterday and tested the temps in the tank and was really disappointed to see 94/95 under the lamp and 85 in the "cool side". :( We currently have a 20 gallon tank with the reptisun 10.0 tube inside the tank, a 50 watt outdoor flood light for basking, a water bowl inside...

Hi there! Lots of questions, would love advice. Spencer is 4-5 months old. Holy moly are crickets expensive! I can't afford the $150/mo the local stores would cost but have NO clue how to house a larger, bulk amount to make the cost more manageable. And, the ones I bought are getting to large...

Hi everyone, we brought home a new beardie yesterday and he is 4 months old according to the breeder. We have Spencer in a 20 gal tank with a reptisun 10.0 tube and a flood light that's 38watt (translation to 50?). He spends almost the entire time in the basking spot and hasn't roamed at all...

Hello! We welcomed our new baby dragon today and are so excited for this new adventure. He is technically our son's birthday gift (he's asked for four years) but I'm equally excited to care for him and enjoy him! His name is Spencer and he's a ~4 month old hypo leatherback male. He seems to be...
