Thanks soooooo much!! I can't thank you both enough! I have been in tears over our Beardie!As long as you have the reptisun bulb now she will be fine till you get the T 5- most Petco s and PetSmart's don't carry the 24" fixture-- go here look for the zoo med fixture or the Arcadia pro T w/ the 12% bulb
www.pangeareptiles.com - these people are good and fast but your dragon is in good hands w/ the reptisun bulb just make sure the distance and it's unobstructed- also follow ahbd's advice-- here's a website to find a reptile vet www.arav.org type in a bigger city zip code if your in a small town
Would you consider the Arcadia Pro to be better the site for the Zoo Med fixture only comes with the 5.0 bulb with it but it looks like the Arcadia Pro will come with the bulb you suggested.As long as you have the reptisun bulb now she will be fine till you get the T 5- most Petco s and PetSmart's don't carry the 24" fixture-- go here look for the zoo med fixture or the Arcadia pro T w/ the 12% bulb

Hi which Oxbow Critical Care supplement flavor would you suggest? Is Jan 3rd to long to wait for it? I have some Nature Zone bearded dragon salad dressing I had already ordered that's a strawberry flavorHi there, you've been taking good care of her and her tank looks good, how long have you had her ? Has she eaten a pinky before ? I don't think that's a factor at all but just curious. The yellow does look like possible Y.F., you can give her a 10 minute shallow soak every other day using 1 part betadine to 10 parts water. Pat her dry after and apply Lamisil or Monistat cream. Only a vet can tell for sure so try to find a reptile vet that can take a skin scraping to verify if this is Y.F. Some vets give oral meds. like voriconazole or itraconazole. Get some Oxbow Critical Care online or from a vet, it's a highly nutritious supplement. Try any type of insect that she might enjoy, superworms, hornworms, etc. Try combinations of veggies , honey + insects to make a smoothie that the she might eat as well. She has lost a lot of weight so hopefully you can get her to eat.
Yes you would need to order the reptisun 10.0 22" T 5 bulb- the 5.0 could be used as back up distance and placement is different- the Arcadia pro T 5 is a really good bulb and fixture-- your choice ++ have you gotten a vet appointment yet?Would you consider the Arcadia Pro to be better the site for the Zoo Med fixture only comes with the 5.0 bulb with it but it looks like the Arcadia Pro will come with the bulb you suggested.
Hi KarrieRee I have a vet appt scheduled but they couldn't get it until Wed coming up so I've been trying another Vet to call me back and get her seen sooner. I did the Betadine soak and the Lamisil on her about an hour ago. Do you think I should wait for the Arcadia fixture to come before fitting inside the tank? Home Depot was out of those straps but I bought some Velcro rolls that look similar. If my house is around 74 degrees at night it she ok without using any heat at night like you were saying about them liking it colder?Yes you would need to order the reptisun 10.0 22" T 5 bulb- the 5.0 could be used as back up distance and placement is different- the Arcadia pro T 5 is a really good bulb and fixture-- your choice ++ have you gotten a vet appointment yet?
You want that T 8 either Unobstructed meaning taking the screen off or get it inside the tank - shes not getting enough UVB w/ it being blocked --- she needs it to be able to deal w/ the fungus thing going on --- please do so ASAP --- your temp in the tank at nite is good as long as its not following below 65-Hi KarrieRee I have a vet appt scheduled but they couldn't get it until Wed coming up so I've been trying another Vet to call me back and get her seen sooner.

Hi Karrie thanks will do that right now. I just wanted to make sure. I didn't know if I should had waiting cutting the screen. Can the basking light be on the screen?You want that T 8 either Unobstructed meaning taking the screen off or get it inside the tank - shes not getting enough UVB w/ it being blocked --- she needs it to be able to deal w/ the fungus thing going on --- please do so ASAP --- your temp in the tank at nite is good as long as its not following below 65-
Yes as long as your getting the correct basking temps --- can you take your screen off?Hi Karrie thanks will do that right now. I just wanted to make sure. I didn't know if I should had waiting cutting the screen. Can the basking light be on the screen?
Your screen looks like a wider hole the Pro T 5 would be able to sit on top the T 8 cannot - please post another pic of the screen pleaseYes as long as your getting the correct basking temps --- can you take your screen off?
Yes so I moved the screen over and have the basking lamp on the screen but the UVB Reptisun is directly over her without the plastic cover. Here's a picture.Yes as long as your getting the correct basking temps --- can you take your screen off?
Ok looks great --- I am hoping she does not have YF -- that is what I am concerned about -- but once treatment begins w/ that issue that UVB is going to play a huge roll in the getting better -- watch her behavior w/ that bulb now pleaseYes so I moved the screen over and have the basking lamp on the screen but the UVB Reptisun is directly over her without the plastic cover.

Ok cool, I'll send you a picture of the screen right nowYour screen looks like a wider hole the Pro T 5 would be able to sit on top the T 8 cannot - please post another pic of the screen please
Ok will watch her closely. Thanks so much. Here's the pictures of our screen. I really hope she doesn't have the yellow fungus also. Now that I think about it.. it was after we quit using the ceramic light and started using the Intense basking light but also the red at night is when she started getting stressed and didn't eat.Ok looks great --- I am hoping she does not have YF -- that is what I am concerned about -- but once treatment begins w/ that issue that UVB is going to play a huge roll in the getting better -- watch her behavior w/ that bulb now please
Your Pro T 5 should be able to sit on top -- the distance should be 8-10 inches directly over the basking decor --how is she doing now ? Is she eating ? the red light would of made her more stressed as they disrupt the sleep and the ceramic light does not give off UV of which they needOk will watch her closely. Thanks so much.

She's been sleeping on her rocks directly under her UVB and Intense Basking Spot. I haven't been able to get her to eat but I had put some of that Nature Zone strawberry salad dressing on her kale and I think she had eaten some of it.Your Pro T 5 should be able to sit on top -- the distance should be 8-10 inches directly over the basking decor --how is she doing now ?
