To: AHBD I took Mrjaws out for his soak this AM and there was a HPOP (huge pile of poop) and plenty of unrated. I was never so glad to see so much ..... . :blob5: He has been basking on his rocks for most of the day. I turned on his UVB light and he is sitting in his tree directly under it...

Thank you. After our adventure in the sun, Mrjaws decided to go back into his hide. I will leave him alone today and let him decide what to do. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with me.

I heard Mrjaws scratching this am. Took him out of his hide and gave him a 30 min soak rubbing his tummy the whole time. No poop. I then took him out in the sunshine for about an hour. Then back to his house and put him on his rocks. The temp was 99F. Turned on his UVB. He has been there since...

Thanks. The weather here will be sunny with hi's in lower 90's for the next week. Is 30 min a day OK. Also do I need to increase soaks to 3X a week?

Mrjaws has been sleeping now for 44 days. Can anyone tell me what I need to do when he begins to wake up. This is what I've done so far: Increased basking light from 8 hrs to 10 hrs. The temp avg is 104F. Low temp is 83f. Night temp Avg 77 He has not pooped in 44days. But is maintaining his...

Good morning My tip is concerning temp at the basking side. This site as well as many others say the correct temps should be between 100 - 110 degrees. My tip is that these temps are arrived at using various instruments. These instruments could be WAY OFF due to age or just plain worn out or...

Thank you all for your replys. Shortly after I posted the first message, Mrjaws woke up for a short time, less than a day. I realized he was still not himself. I put him back under his blanket and he is working on his eight days. My point in all this was that I was wrong about his age and...

Mrjaws woke up from his Brumation around 11:15 this AM. He is healthy as always. Thank you.

Learn from my mistake. I brought home MrJaws on 1/07/16. I got him from a big box store which is still my favorite. He was pretty healthy and I followed the advice on this site so he stayed healthy. My MISTAKE was in thinking he was only 5 weeks old when he came home. I kept a growth chart on...

Thank you for your response. I was concerned about him eating it. I didn't work quick enough though because he has been sleeping for more than 72 hours now and I was not able to finish his cave. He has burrowed under shredded paper so I'm just going to let him alone. I do plan on bathing him...

Hi people. I just made a bigger cave for Mrjaws , getting ready for his first Brumation. I used coconut fiber to surround the cave just for decoration and it was cheaper than reptile carpet. I am not using it for the substrate. Should I rip it off and start all over :roll: thank you

Thank you for your reply. I have really spoiled him and when he sleeps for so long it worries me. Mrjaws is 8.5 gems and 20 inches long.

Good Morning, Mrjaws is acting extemely lazy. He is 8.5 months old but for the past weeks he will burrow under his bedding(shredded paper) at about 2:00 PM and sleep until I wake him up for breakfast at around 7:30 AM the next morning. He never shows any agression and is always ready for the...

One huuuge reason never to leave your beardie friend alone outside :D

Update from yesterday. Mrjaws just woke up at 8:00AM ET. NO problem. Ate salad w/worms with gusto. Thanks for your advice :D

Thanks, I remember reading somewhere about the danger of stinging insects and I was prepared to take him to the vet. Thank you.

We were outside and before I could react, a bumble bee got to close to Mrjaws and was eaten . I could not see any distress and he ate a wax worm with no hesitation. He is basking under his lamp now and appears normal. Should I be worried?
