Constant orange urate. Not white once.

Right. I watch humidity levels too. So yours still has orange urates?
Earlier when I posted in your first thread, Foxy had a little orange urate every time. I reduced the calcium on his roaches and tried to give more hornworms (I give them every other day). Now he has almost no orange urates, for example 5 times will be white and once a little orange. Now I see no reason why this happens. It seems to me that when Foxy eats more bugs, i.e. gorges on them :) , orange-colored urates reappear. But I'm not sure. And I'm waiting for a new heat lamp to replace the Arcadia DHP to eliminate its possible influence.

Are you going w/ a ceramic heat emitter?

Now, for heating during the day, I use this lamp (DHP)

I want to change it to halogen

And I will only use DHP on cold nights.

Hmm yea it seems like when Errtu eats mealworms this happens. Is yours a red hypo trans as well?

I'm not very good at morphs.
The breeder we got Foxy from said it was red hypo.
Foxy's eyes aren't black, I don't think he's trans

Babies need D3 till they are around a year old - we need Tracie and or AHBD to advise on this - the UVB helps him absorb / synthesize the calcium hes getting - please start rinsing the greens before serving - are the urates dried out looking chalky?
An interesting watch regarding a study that was done on D3 absorbtion in bearded dragons. Beardies lack the bile acids to break down D3 to allow it to pass the intestinal barrier to enter the blood stream.

that is why the UVB is crucial so it can help them do that

So to any reading this, how on earth do I post a thread 😅 New here, possibly too old for this

Just Hazel in a filter I need so not posting on forums.
On a quest for pristine beats, I struck gold during a casual coffee shop jam session. The music maestro there ushered me to VOLUMO — New generation electronic music store for pro DJs. Revel in its vast array of tracks and rejuvenate your playlists!
I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.

So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?
