Hey everyone!! (Photos attached of his Xmas tank.)
*** Ragnar’s tank came as is. The light fixtures are glued where they are by the previous owners. He was posted “the prefect Christmas present on FB.” I currently have someone making me a 6X2X2 enclosure, what he is in now is what he has been in since they purchased him.I hate his current tank with a passion, I’ve been trying to give him a bit more room as it was crammed with logs/rocks/fake plants to the point he couldn’t move really.***
So I recently just rescued Ragnar from a FB post by his old owners. It’s been 2 weeks now, I have never owned a beardie, I’ve only ever had Iguanas. I’ve been doing a lot of research on this little dude,per his old owners he is a 6 month old Dunner/Leather back morph. The old owners gave him up with his items (40 gallon tank, Dubai roach colony, decor for the tank.) I know he desperately needs a bigger enclosure. I’ve been looking into several different places to get him one or make it myself. I’ve noticed some things he is doing that is odd. He has been holding his food in his throat? He gets puffy after eating. I’ve been feeding him 5-medium Dubai roaches(twice a day to equal 10 as the roaches are getting bigger now.) with his salads. His old owners told me he was eating 10-20 of them a day. I’ve been keeping his tank at 30% for humidity, switched to crushed walnut and reptisand mixture. He’s been loving the new substrate. He’s been just acting weird to me anyway, sleeping randomly during the day, holding food in his throat, glass surfing, and making this weird squeak noise. Am I just over reacting to these things?
Substrate/Tank- cleaned out every Saturday (weekly)
Lighting- one UVB build is from petsmart still in the box the owners gave me. I’m assuming it’s the same as the one in the tank. It’s a T5-HO 10.00 UVB. I do not know the others
Food- Kale, Collard Greens, Mustard Greens, apples, blueberries, carrots, bok Choy, parsley Dubia Roaches 2x a day.
Any advice is greatly appreciated !!
Thanks,
Kat
