I use a kitchen scale, in grams. Whatever you have will help...units can be converted. A kitchen scale, postal scale, etc. Something that's capable of measuring more accurately than just pounds, like a scale for a human.

Hi there! Do you have a current weight on her? Sounds to me like she's being quite underfed, especially for that length. My girl is 6 months, and last length a week ago was 17"... She eats about 10-15 supers in one sitting. Depending on the day, she'll get fed a 2nd or 3rd time, usually...

I was actually wondering the same thing, T8 or T5... I'm building two new enclosures for my dragon, and like the OP, planned on doing 24" high, with a 24" T8 10.0 UVB. Every major build video on YouTube, or plans I see for a 4 x 2 x 2, or a 36" x 18" x 24" (LxWxH) all use T8s with a basic...

As far as I can tell, Cody doesn't have any specific morphs. Nails are dark, not Hypo Eyes aren't black, nor are scales translucent, so not Trans.. Normal scales and patterning...no morphs I can visibly see. However, that's not to say he's not a gorgeous dragon. Real nice coloring and...

I personally haven't cut my girl's nails yet, since she's on sealed tile, and slate...they wear down fine just from her wandering. She's a little over six months, and has been on tile for 4 of those. From what I understand, you should only be trimming the very tip of the nail, that is clear...

That is odd, surfing on the outside of the glass. Though, if they can see a reflection, they still may surf. Perhaps she's not trying to get back in, and just surfing on her reflection? (I know, that sounds ridiculous to anyone who doesn't know dragons..) She could be surfing inside for all...

Thank you again, Cooper, for the advice. I want to move the UVB up a little, but I wanted to make sure it worked first. I should be able to find proper hooks, and get it up another inch. But yeah, she does have room to move...she has a few specific areas on the 2 logs and the hut thingy. I...

Hi All, Still new here; first post aside from my Intro, where I was given some great suggestions on my lighting setup. Here's Zuul's revised setup, and I just wanted some feedback. Her basking is now a 150W ReptiHalogen, and keeps her area around 105-115* F, depending on where she feels...

I was in a similar situation, but my girlfriend insisted on no roaches or crickets. Started on mealworms, but Zuul's staple protein is Black Soldier Fly Larvae, aka PhoenixWorms/Calciworms/Reptiworms/NutriGrubs. They're great and full of calcium and don't need to be dusted. Hornworms from...

Well they wouldn't exchange it for a different bulb like I thought, but they did let me upgrade to the 160W. It's providing a good 105* consistently now, which is what I wanted. Still concerned about the overkill on UVB, which I was assured at the shop can't happen, but I'm still going to...

Yeah, you're right...The PowerSun in whatever wattage is just too much UVB with the T5. I'm going to see if I can exchange it for a basking bulb, because they're sure not going to let me return it... At least it's backup UVB //OR// heat should I need it. I'll stick with the 36" in that case...

Thanks for the reply Cooper, and all the advice and suggestions. For measuring temps, I'm using an infrared thermometer, similar to what you posted. Snap-On, specifically. I don't like spot measuring though, as it's kind of tricky to get an air temp reading when things can reflect on the back...

Hi all! Been lurking for a bit and finally wanted to introduce my dragon, Zuul, to the community. After the landlords denied a dog, a new pet was discussed.. My parents had owned a local pet shop for many years while I was growing up, so a dragon was an easy call. The shop no longer exists...
