My bearded Dragon Just Threw UP!

[SamBam]

Mine threw up to but mine through up for a completly diff reason. The very first time i got my beardie i fed it a few to many mealworms and it puked like 2 times. ( Iv learned my lesson ) What i have learned is when they do throw up bath them asap as they dehydrate very quickly after puking. This is vital as it will help them rehydrate. Also as someone may have mentioned - The temps could be slightly to cold so she doesnt quite warm up enough to feed. ( i doubt it but its just a thought ) Also if u can get a repti - glo 10.0 uva/uvb fluorescent bulb, they are probably the best bulbs u can get. About the basking area i just use a standard 50w ( In winter 100w ) bulb and it works perfectly, producing more than enough heat! hope this helps

Cool thanks! However I was also going to ask, how long should I play with her a day, and How many times a day, for how long?? She seems to be very scared and I did take her a bath! Also the 2 month old picture! Is that the right one because that dragon looks like a 4 month old! how do i post pictures so you can see one of her!

upload your pics to photobucket and then copy the image code and past it into your post. Then you can press preview to see if it worked.

I normally try and take my beardie out onc a day at least, i take him out for about 15 mins, mines only about 2months old so mines still a baby aswell although hes tame-ish lool were gettin there but at least he dont run away from me now. I bath mine about 4 times a week, the days i dont bath him i just put a few drops of water on the end of his nose/snout/waterver it is he has lool that way he gets water from that to.

first of all: the TS has a MVB, this gives heat AND UVB , so there's no need for a uvb bulb.

Seconly: the reptiSUN 10.0 is a great bulb, the reptiGLO has much less of a reputation. I've heard nothing but bad things about the reptiGLO one.

Finally: using a UVB light for heat? most uvb lights (and certainly the tubes) don't really give off any heat. My 120cm (48") UVB tube can't even heat my enclosure up 1°C from room temp!

Just wanted to add a temp gun is the best idea I bought one and it was the best 40 bucks I ever spent. I even found non beardie uses for it. I found buying the temp guns cheaper then replacing all my broken thermometers. Also it is much better too see the temp of the actual lizard then the basking spot.
