Hi there, congrats on the new little buddy. Could you give a rundown on how you are taking temps, what the temps are, and what kind of bulbs you are using for basking/uvb? By the look of your setup I assume you have a coil uvb which isn't ideal, the tube versions like this one provide a...

I do basking bulbs all on dimmers, makes life so much easier I use this https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-TT-300NLH-WH-Credenza-Dimmer-White/dp/B0000DI241

It may be parasites, if it is I suggest with the antibiotics you give him a reptile probiotic to keep his appetite up since it tends to bother beardy bellies Update: this will require a vet visit, they will need a poop sample, bringing it will help a lot, Ziploc a few days and date the bags if...

Follow the space between the eye trick for sizing. Pet smart will probably have 1/4 Inch crickets which should work. Don't forget to dust with calcium and take out any extras as they bite sleeping dragons

I spoil my pair of juvenile males , but I chop the stems out of collards and my other greens then roll them up together 2 slices down the center lengthwise and chop coarsely . Bag it it for 3 days that way for pre mix beardy salad

Are you sure that 10.0, which is what you need, is a t8 bulb? That sounds like the range of a t5 high output Update: you need a reptisun 10.0 t8 bulb for that. Another point is length, you want it about 3/4 to 1/2 the length to give cooler shady spots

make sure its a ceramic fixture, they heat up pretty quickly, like 15 minutes or so

Both my steve and rusty love them, only as treats, and rusty has done a cartwheel off his basking platform for them.

I shake mine in a strainer i made then used a shallow dog bowl

I built one out of rigid foam and sanded grout. if you google diy basking platform theres a lot of good ideas

I use a ziploc sandwich sized container, the only problem is they will crawl up my dragon

The flies are fine to feed them, they dont eat just breed and die. They do have some crazy moves to cath them don't they

I find a course grater works wonders for squash

I very much hope it isn't impacted on walnut shells. pureed pumpkin and honey perhaps along with warm baths keeping her head up. definitely needs to have her night temps at 80 it will make a HUGE difference

If you can go with large phoenix worms they are high enough calcium to not need dusting, just multivitamin. They have no hard shell either so no impaction issues. Only thing is, they will begin eating them by the hundred Also, scratch mealworms you want superworms and only when its 16...

the general consensus around here is yes on MBD I believe, but I'm no expert. as for soldier flies, easy as heck. They come in a quart sized soup container for about 1000 large with a dirt mixture. I widened the holes on a dollar store plastic strainer to get the dirt off then plop them...

That is a very nice color pattern cute little bugger. The only issue i see is the uvb. The coil bulbs are pretty bad, a tube type like a reptisun 10.0 or if you can afford an arcadia 13 go for it. That may be the cause of the hunger strike. Not sure if its an option, but try...

don't limit his intake, but as he grows the size can increase a bit with the old between the eyes scale
