We also have a dubia colony and they have been having unsuccessful molts because of this. We can tell our dragon has been a lot more uncomfortable in its shedding as well due to the low humidity spikes if we go out to a store or something where were not around for an hour or two to mist the...

So I seem to be having the complete opposite issue as most people. Since it has started getting colder; all of the windows are closed and the heat has gone on our average house humidity is 15-30% which is great for us humans. Unfortunately because of basking light the humidity inside of our...

First off I have to say our apartment is weird... With that said with a 20G long we needed a 100W bulb; This got our basking side to a little under 110 and the cool side to around 85-90. With a 75 watt bulb we were only able to get the basking side up to around 90. We just made the move up to...

Old school non LED bulbs can reach temperatures well over 200F and will burn a Beardie if he can access this vine. LED might be a little too bright but a blind dragon is better then one with severe burns. You might have to do some trial and error; buy some lights from Walmart, see if they are...

A general rule to go by is if you got the pallet in the USA don't use it; 90+% of them are treated. If you need untreated ones be ready to pay a premium or drive to Canada.

Ok I've noticed no one else mentioned this as a warning for others so I will. Do not use pallets for kids or pet projects. They are designed to be cheap and last a long time not safe to build with. They normally use southern yellow pine which is toxic to beardies alone and then treated in a...

We just got a new T5 housing with a reflector from HTG Supply and the bulb should be in Tuesday. I was wondering if anyone has blocked off the reflector on the cool side before; and if so what did you use to do so? I was thinking of using a heavy duty paper and masking tape but I am open for...

I've been reading into it a bit more and for price/performance I am considering a T5 without a reflector hung just below the mesh cover. While it is nice to be able to get things locally a T5 housing without reflector is the same price as the T8 alternative and I could upgrade it with a...

We are looking to upgrade from our CFL style Reptisun 10.0. We currently have a 20G long tank and we don't plan to make the jump up to a 40 gallon for another 2-4 months. We have noticed that because of how tall the tank is that our dragon probably isn't getting enough UVB light so we wanted to...

Thanks for the help everyone I will keep you updated on his progress but he already looks a lot better now. One more question; the plant in this picture... We got it at the pet store to help with the humidity but it didn't list what kind of plant it was. What is the name of it and is it dragon...

So we noticed crickets in his poop today... he hasn't eaten one in several days. The guy at the pet store recommended medium crickets and we thought they were too big at the time but we figured if he was already eating them that it would be fine... anyway he is still acting strange but is slowly...

We have been able to hand feed him baby food mixed with calcium and we were able to put his basking rock back in. While he doesn't sit on top of the rock he spent most of the day out. His little rolling seizures seem to have stopped and he is standing now but most (not all of) of the time he...

My girlfriend just picked up a juvenile leather-back and I had a couple questions/concerns that I feel like I need to ask about... 1: Our apartments temperature is controlled by our landlord and tends to hover around 60F. Just to get the get the basking area up to 90F we needed to upgrade to a...
