    Do I need to supplement with any vitamins?

    I have a healthy 3.5 year old bearded dragon. He has been eating dubia roaches as a staple the whole time. I usually dust with repashy calcium plus with every feeding. My wife is sick of having a dubia colony in our garage so I want to switch to BSFL as a staple. From what I have read I...

    Vitamins with black solder fly larvae?

    My beardie is about 14 months old or so and is a very picky eater. For most his life I have been feeding him dubia roaches dusted with Repashy calcium plus all in one every day. But as of late all he will eat are black solder fly larvae. Should I still be giving him vitamins or calcium? He's not...

    Confused and frustrated after vet visits. Coccidia.

    Ya that seemed like a long time to me too. Plus my beardie hates the stuff, so i feel like i'm stressing him out from sticking the syringe down his throat to give him the med. I went out and bought a vanilla flavored soy non-dairy yogurt earlier today and gave him about .75ml. (why do you...

    Confused and frustrated after vet visits. Coccidia.

    Thank-you! I will check it out. He has been taking the meds every day since 3/6. And they said to keep giving to him every day until bottle runs out which looks like probably another 2 weeks.

    Confused and frustrated after vet visits. Coccidia.

    So I brought my bearded dragon to a vet that claims to be a reptile vet on 3/6/18 because my bearded dragon had a loss of appetite for months and wanted a fecal done for peace of mind. The results are as follows: "Direct= soft formed sample, decreased flora, spirochetes 3+, coccidia 4+, 2+...

    T5 UVB Distance.

    Im sure this is answered a bunch here on these threads but I cant seem to find it. I have a 24" reptisun t5 10.0 in a reflector. It sits about 13" above my beardies basking rock. Today I decided to cut the screen out under T5 to allow more UVB. Now i'm worried this might be too much UVB. I have...

    Lighting help for cool side.

    I have a exo-terra 36 wide x24 tall x 18 deep tank. Currently with a 90 Watt PAR38 flood light for basking and reptisun t5 10.0 24" for uvb. His cool side of the tank seems pretty dark and I wanted to add some ambient light. Current temps stay around 75-78 degress in cool side. I want a bulb...

    Dragon is not interested in eating anymore. Brumation?

    He seems to be getting better! He did eat a few dubias and seems to be a little more active. I have been trying to find a good bulb with 5000k for his cool side. I did find a 7w phillips LED 5000k. I havent heard many people using LED. Any thing I should be worried about. His cage looks great...

    Dragon is not interested in eating anymore. Brumation?

    Great info. Thanks. Is there any benefit of a halogen flood bulb vs a regular household bulb vs led bulb ( Ive seen one that was 7 watts with 5000 kelvin which I heard is good)? FYI Just got my scale in the mail. My male beardie is 450grams which as far as I can tell is a healthy weight.

    Dragon is not interested in eating anymore. Brumation?

    Thank you for all the responses I really appreciate it!! I will definitely not add a che during nighttime. I did end up putting another dome light with a household bulb on the cool side of enclosure to bring up temps a little bit during day because that side stayed a little dark and in the low...

    Dragon is not interested in eating anymore. Brumation?

    Thanks again the the responses. I went to my local reptile breeder and he suggested that my beardie's lack of appatite is due to cold night temps. He suggested I get a ceramic heat emitter for night time to raise the temps up to 75-80 deg. Currently my house is usually around 70 deg at night...

    Dragon is not interested in eating anymore. Brumation?

    This is my first bearded dragon, is just about 10 months old and since early December he has no interest in eating anything. I got him when he was 3 months old and normally he would eat about 20 dubia roaches every day and a little bit of salad. But for the past 10 weeks whenever i feed him he...

    Which size exo terra tank?

    Any suggestions on which size exo-terra tank I should get. I'm debating against the 36x18x18 or the 36x18x24. Is the extra height a benefit? I will probably need a higher watt basking light? I'm planning on getting a baby in a few months and want to have it all ready to go!

    Too much UVB?

    Im getting ready to buy my first bearded dragon in the next few months. I was looking on craigslist for an exo-terra tank. I found a guy selling a 36x18x18 with lighting and decorations for $150. Seems like a pretty good deal. My question is that he is including a T5 HO ballast and bulb that is...
