appreciate it! I hadn't thought about having to cut the tile but that shouldn't be an issueBeardednoob":lccis1ox said:Tiles very good yes the other top substrates are, reptile carpet, non-adhesive self lining, and paper towels. All of them are safe for your BD, remember when you get the tile it will be dusting and dirty cleaning them is a must, also you may have to trim the tile so just thinking in advance. :wink:
Just to add to this i'll go ahead and link where i ordered my reptisun 10.0 from, if you can get it in a store near you I suggest it though because shipping can take a bit. Sadly that wasn't an option for me and we're holding out till Tuesday when it's supposed to arrive.gimmexthexloot":2ihz48ae said:as long as you can provide your beardie the care it requires, you can save it.
first, I would take your dragon to a vet who is experienced with reptiles.
second, generally a 75 w basking isnt hot enough. you will need two thermometers, one in the basking spot and one on the other end. your basking area should be roughly around 100 degrees. i keep mine at 105, with the cooler side at 85. for its ultraviolet needs , you will need a light that produces uvb. they sell these at pet stores, or online for cheaper lights. the best once you can get is powersun. its about 70 dollars in a store but can probably be found for about 40 online. what size home are you keeping her in? and how old is she?
You can upload them to photobucket or another site like that and then use the img tag at the top by your font options. it will look like this without the parentheses around it (1976dragonmom":10b1kdn7 said:Thanks for the info! I will definately look into those lights. The sun seems like it want to come out, and I have a nice sunny window sill she can relax on. It worked for my plants, so it should work for her. As for her age,, the prev owners (who thought it was a boy) said it was past the juvenile stage. But after researching, I found that "he" was a she (at least I think! I do not see the two "bulges" said to be males), and her size is smaller than juvenile pictures I've come across. I can't get her lay straight because of her tail, but her body is roughly 6in and her tail maybe 8in. I gave her a 20min soak in some warm water and she had a pretty big poo, then seemed very anxious to get out of the water. She was given to us in a glass tank about 4x2x2ft with the red sand. But, I've noticed little white bugs, some that jump and others that crawl. I'm gonna clean all this out and replace with paper towels until I can something better. I do not like the sand... I put a few mealworms in front of her and she made an attempt to grab them, instead getting a tongue full of the sand. We then tried on a flat surface and was very happy when she acctually got one and gulped it down. She must have been sprayed with water,, I also read that Dragons like to lick the running drops of water off the side of the tank rather than drinking from a dish,, because she HATES it! She backs up, sounds like a hiss, and flares her beard.
The sun is out! Let me go put her in some sun for a bit. How do you post pictures here? I would like to share how she looks for some advice. Thanks for the help,, will keep you all posted on her condition!
Right now I am at workBeardednoob":2c3w43el said:I would like to add as I have said in the past the glass does not take out all UV rays but does diminish them. As for the Powersun 160w bulb this is the best on the market, heat, UVB and UVA all in one bulb, makes the basking area as efficient as it can be for what our technology has to offer. This is what I use for all 3 of my lizards (2 BD and 1 Uro). So how is your little girl doing atm?
Every day with calcium that has D3 since the issues started, i've heard under normal circumstances the d3 can be a bit much but I figured if i was having issues with the UV lighting the d3 might help. I plan on getting regular calcium supplement once her new light has been in for a bit. Also i'm picking up a vitamin supplement tomorrow because I don't have oneBeardednoob":3vdszcdo said:I am very glad to hear she seems to be improving. You know if your glass panes are old you will get even more UV rays come through too. Just a FYI thought, I tend to write what I think. Anyways, have you been dusting her food?
