I bought it off Amazon I've read in a few bearded dragon lighting guides that this particular one is very good and loved by many bearded dragon owners but everyone I've talked to on her hasn't heard of it so now I don't know how true that is? I'm actually changing his lighting setup to a basking bulb and uvb long lights you know traditional lighting so Ill send a pic once that's all set upDrache613":2er7fn3d said:Hello,
The whitish to greyish coloring does appear to be an upcoming shed. That is normal so he
should be shedding there soon.
You mentioned that your MVB light is a brand called Evergreen? Where did you purchase it,
just curious, because I haven't heard of that brand. The MVB lights are great, when used
correctly. There are only a few brands that I recommend.
You can use Megaray, Arcadia, Exoterra Solarglo or the Zoomed Powersun. In combination
with any of those, you can use a tube UVB along with them to create a nice bright & balanced
UVB to UVA ratio.
Do you have more pictures of his tank setup you could post for us, too?

I have to say surprisingly (knock on wood) I have only had like 2 die on me thus far and ziggy still eats them and mine haven't been loud at all so idk I would love to switch him to dubias but at my pet store they are super limited and really expensive like 7.00 for a little container of 20 so I actually like the crickets and so does ziggy when I got him from the pet store they were feeding him mealworms constantly ugh so bad but he switched over to crickets super easy so in the bug department he's not picky at all thankfully.KarrieRee":3e7717j2 said:I am not a fan of crickets --- they stink and are noisy-- plus they are harder to keep- I would recommend you switch over to dubia roaches - they are a lot easier to keep and dont die off as fast - plus nutrition wise they are way better - gut loading just means well fed and hydrated - feed the crickets carrots they will get hydration from that plus nutrients as well just dont feed your dragon carrots too - to much Vit A-- if you need websites to order dubias from I have some along w/ some good worms too ---

Awesome thank you so much! How much would you normally feel your beardie of each protein that's also been a learning curve for me not knowing how much of the protein to give himKarrieRee":35jq8ibt said:So I have heard dubias are expensive if sold in the pet stores - most everyone gets them on line or have started their own colonies -- I can give you some websites and you decide if you want to try ordering --- this one http://www.reptilianarts.com has dubias and silk worms which are a good staple as well - I usually order bulk silk the 50 and feed both the dubias and silk - if you order the bulk they come small and you will need to get food as well - containers need to be cleaned out daily along w/ the old food and feeding -- I dont know how they ship the dubias I have never gotten them from there - they should be in a container w/ cardboard egg cartons and you can keep them in there and feed them carrots along w/ other veggies - they like fruit -- I also have gotten super worms from them and they are nice ---

http://www.symtonbsf.com -- BSFL another good staple feeder do not dust them and order large - make great salad toppers and lures to the salad bowl --
my go to place for dubias http://www.dubiaroaches.com they are not shipping dubias at this time they are low on stock but have great worms - horn worms - order small amounts they grow fast -- butter worms another good worm and currently no one has them -- along w/ super worms etc
Look at those websites and if you want order --- its always nice to have another source for food for them --- pet stores can get expensive -- all the worms and insects offer a good balanced diet along w/ the salads here is a website for nutrition
