    Struggling to find a good basking light now

    Previously used PAR38 Halogen bulbs 90w from GE...having trouble finding those in stock on Amazon and in stores (Any PAR38 90W's are non-halogen, or super energy efficient, or soft white). Ordered some GE 80W off of amazon hoping it'll be warm enough. I also went to walmart and got varying...

    Normal Signs of Brumation?

    Sort of a follow-up to this post: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=236485&p=1817737#p1817737 Since then, she's still been refusing to wake up on her own, if I didn't wake her up and move her to the heat, she would just sleep through the day. Even when I do put her in the heat, she usually tries to go nap...

    Post-Relocation Behavior

    Hey everyone, So I moved back up to a new apartment about 2 weeks ago. Normally I would set up the tank right away but I didn't have help moving the tank out of my house and into the new apartment, so Rey slept the whole day in the car, and all through the night until the next morning. Since...

    Post-Egg Procedures

    Hey everyone, it's been a while. Rey is currently about 1 yr and 7 months old now. I realize I should have been a little bit more proactive (rather than reactive), but she had her first clutch of infertile eggs today. I didn't even catch on to the fact that she had eggs, but only noticed...

    Hide Recommendations

    Hey everyone, I need to look into hides for my girl (full size), and was hoping some of you could give me some recommendations! I have a 40g breeder, and the entire left-side of the tank is free for the hide. I also don't have the necessary resources to make one (ideally I would, but that's...

    Brownish spots on tail (Also behavior question)

    Hey guys, it's been a little while (sorta). Rey is just about 1 yrs old by my guess. She seems to be doing fine, eating, active, etc. First off, she has been glass surfing quite a bit recently. I ruled out the shiny wallpaper (with plants) that I had, as well as the tank being 'smelly' (full...

    Glass Surfing

    So Rey has been glass surfing for about 2 weeks now...not sure what's causing it. Her beard isn't black or anything. It looks like she's trying to get something out of the tank (but there's a wallpaper covering most of it so I didn't think it would be that). It is a little bit reflective even...

    Picking the squash out of the salad...

    So I've been giving Rey a mix of endive/butternut squash (raw, diced). I've noticed that she just picks out the little cubes of squash out of the salad. Is this okay for her to do? Or should I give her just greens for the moment so she eats that some more.

    Weight check

    Hey guys, just checking in for the health of my dragon (weight-wise). She's now approx. 10 months old I'd say? (Got her on 2/9). She just weighed in at 580 grams and 17.25". The weight does seem a bit high to me. I've been feeding her 7ish adult dubias per day 5x a week, and greens greens...

    Overweight?

    So I am nearing 5 months with Rey in about 2 weeks (8 months of age roughly?), and I was wondering if her weight was too high for her size. She is 16.3", and 421 grams by my last measurement. I've already cut back on feeding her (10 max bugs per feeding, once per day, 5x a week w/Veggies the...

    Red Frill Mustard Greens

    Anyone know if these would be okay to feed to my dragon? Picked them up at a local farmers market today.

    Transitioning to more veggies

    Hey, just had a quick question. My girl Rey has broken 300g, and is around 15" (lost my tape measure, so not 100% sure the exact length). Her growing has slowed down a little bit (in terms of length). I got her at 17g and 7.5", in the beginning of February. I was thinking she was around 2-3...

    4 Days Alone..?

    Hey, so this isn't optimal, obviously. But my intended babysitter can no longer watch my dragon while I'm in Mississippi...so will she be okay after 4 days? (Friend is leaving the 17th, I'm getting back the 21st). She's been healthy so far, a good 250 grams roughly so it's not like she's in any...

    Inside of mouth, possible concerns

    Hey guys, so I've heard some saliva in the mouth is usually an area of concern (for a respiratory infection). I just fed Rey, and while she was basking she had her mouth open and I spotted a string of saliva. Outside of that string inside of her mouth I haven't noticed much else. Should I...

    Gaping outside of tank

    Anyone else's beardies gape occasionally when outside the tank? I know they thermoregulate while basking via gaping. Not sure if it is a concern or not

    "Dragging" along

    My dragon is currently in face shed (visibly coming off) and starting a body shed (dull color). She is currently going around her tank, dragging her belly on the slate, going to a corner and rubbing her face and whatnot in the corner, on the leaves, etc. Anyone elses' beardie ever 'drag...

    Coccidia (20-30 phpf?)

    So I just went to the vet for a fecal test. The results showed normal pinworm levels according to the vet (1-2 eggs i think she said), but high levels of coccidia (20-30 phpf not sure what 'unit' that is). I was told give .02ml of ponazuril every 14 days for 2 doses. Do the pin/coccidia...

    Pellets

    Long story short, my package of bugs still hasn't arrived, so Rey hasn't eaten much in the ~2 days (some carrot shreds here and there). Would pellets work okay for the next day or so, just so she doesn't get too angry with me? Or should I just hold her off on that until the bugs come (hopefully...

    Thoughts on the recovery of her finger

    About a month ago a large branch fell and clipped my girl's right hand, taking off her pinky nail completely, and didn't cleanly take off her 'ring finger'. Just wanted your more experienced opinions on how it looks like it is recovering. The pinky one looks fine, but I'm guessing the ring...

    Dubia size..

    Hey so I just had a general question about the size of the dubias I'm feeding. My dragon is a little bit over 12" now and 120 grams. Her appetite is still huge, but the space between her eyes have not appeared to have gotten much larger. That being said, following the 'space between her eye...
