[KarrieRee]

An update, i took him yesterday to petco and unfortunately he and another 1 month old were sick and petco had to stop using that vendor, i was able to get another beardie as i didnt do anything wrong and this one is 3 months old, shedding, and eating so thank you for everything!

Your UVB is extremely important please post what your using

New beardie or not you still need correct lighting. Is your uvb long or is it like a basking bulb? Can we get some pictures of your tank please

Sad to hear about the other baby --- make sure your tank is up to par w/ correct UVB NO coils - surface basking temps 105-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer --- stick ons are inaccurate- a solid clear bright white basking bulb NO off white NO yellowish or Daytime bulbs and NO colored bulbs --- if any of this is off your dragon will not survive w/ out it being correct -- if you need help w / any of this please ask -- there are many on this board that can help

i have the long bulb, 20 gallon. i have everything correctly set up, thermometers on each end of the cage, and keeping humidity up, thank you though.

Humidity doesn’t need to be up it needs to be pretty low. Here is a guide

40-50% optimal humidity taken w a digital probe hygrometer---- long bulb? Brand and bulb T 5 or a T 8 --- there is a difference in distance and placement

Hello,

So sorry you had to take the other baby back, I hope that they got him healthy.
How is your new one doing, adjusting well?
