Parasites or bedding?

I hope this doesn't come across as rude. It's not meant that way. Did you do any kind of research before getting the dragon? I ask because you seem to know little about the required husbandry.

Your beardie does not want a light on overnight. Imagine yourself trying to sleep every night with the light on in your room. You wouldn't get much rest either. If you are concerned about the night time temperature getting too cold, you need a ceramic heating element that produces heat and no light. Infrared bulbs are no good, nor are red lights or any other color. Beardies can see those just like normal light. They do not need to see at night, they need to sleep.

Your UVB and daylight/basking bulbs should be on roughly a 12-on, 12-off schedule. That's not critical but they do need dark time. As already noted, your UVB bulb needs to be at the right distance based on the type you have.

Good choice moving off the hamster substrate, but I'd ditch the napkins and go to either larger paper towels or non-adhesive shelf liner which will lay flat without the rocks. Speaking of rocks, did you sterilize them before you put them in the vivarium? Are you cleaning and sterilizing any decor he/she might poop on?

I'd also go to Lowes or Walmart and invest in an Accurite digital Indoor/Outdoor thermometer with a wired probe. Those stick on things are lousy and can be up to 20 degrees off, so your dragon may well be overly cool or overly hot.

Good luck.

I got it under controll. But my beardie bit me and it was bleeding. would i get salmonella
I would just wash it out really good with soap and water and maybe hydroproxid and just keep an eye on it. I mean you really shouldnt have to worry i think u really get it if your put your sttr8 into your mouth but just in case just wash it out and keep an eye on it. if you feel weird in anyway just go contact your doctor :)

its been a couple of days but Does this mean i should stop hand feeding her vegitables? ive seen pictures and videos and you guys just give piles but i like hand feeding should i stop? ive started turning off the light around 2 -3 am its 75-80 but 2 nights ago when my mom woke up for work at 6 am she told me it was 60 theres no way of knowing the temps from 4-5 it could be 50-60 But she sees like sleeping in the dark., Im worried of impaction she wont poo or drink water. Ive given her 60 crix in about 4 days ? is this over feeding. Ive left 5 in her cage inless shes going for a midnight snack or such . Ive given her a bath yesterday and im also worried about the thing im bathing her in . It used to be a Hamper for clean clothes but we stopped using it My mom cleaned it kinda. But then we used it to clean the paint crusts from the walls ( it was leaking so we put it where it leaked) the ceiling fell and paint went in the Hamper. Ive cleaned it multiple times with very warm water Getting a towel covering it with very warm hurtful watter and scrubbed it but the last time ive given her a bath ( not yesterday before that) black and white dust or spots started floating in the water I quickly evacuated her from the shower and cleaned it with warm watter again . when i gave her a shower yesterday it seemed to lessen to 1 black dust floating in her water i wasnt concerned because she wasnt drinking the water. Im also concerned when i give her a shower after she poos. And i put her in her hamper the brownish crusts get off ur butt and into the watter. Is this bad if i continue her shower ? what happens if she starts drinking her bath water

I tried reading your post but i got to confused. I'll make it real easy for you. Bath your beardie in something clean if she poops clean it out and start over. Use your bathroom sink or your kitchen sink. I wouldnt use anything ive used to clean up paint and gosh knows what in it. Like the other poster said you need to go get a proper temp gauge. So you know what the temps are. If it gets to cold you will need to go buy a ceramic heat emitter. It puts off heat but no light. If you dont have the proper care for your beardie they will get sick and die. Its very important.

What?
How long do you have the lights on? You're turning them off at 2-3 AM? They should be on for 12-14 hours a day, not more. Get a CHE if you're concerned about the heat at night. How does it get to 60 degrees? That's literally not possible in the summer, unless your tank is right under the A/C. I can't answer any more because I don't know what you're saying. Please clearly rewrite that post so we can help you.

he wasnt talking about the UVB, but the bedding, hes given yo links to cleaning products.

i agree you should get a CHE and leave the light OFF for 12 hours, as many people have told you on this thread they need DARK to sleep properly.

He's giving him a link to a medicine that kills parasites. He's been doing that on tons of threads for the past few days for some reason.

I think it is confusing things posting the link about the Parazap. Doesn't go along with the discussion at hand.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
