To my knowledge there are no crickets in his tank at the moment - did you happen to spot one in the YouTube video? But either way, we do not leave - or atleast attempt to - crickets in his cage, but sometimes one or so might sneak away and hide in a log. Usually we flush the logs out with water to get the little buggers out.Esther19":3g1d1fve said:To my eye, his movement looks coordinated, but somewhat jerky/wobbly. Are those tiny crickets crawling on him and around the tank? How often is his beard black? That can indicate illness or discomfort. Is he getting calcium and vitamins? If so, what is your schedule?
I have good news, and some bad news. I'll start with the bad first.CooperDragon":3p866vxs said:Hopefully the local doctor will have experience with bearded dragons. It's important, especially with fairly complex issues, to visit an experienced reptile vet. If your local vet isn't able to diagnose the problem, hopefully they will be able to recommend a specialist who can help. Michigan State has a veterinary school and small animal clinic, but I'm not sure if they have a reptile specialist on staff or not.
This was his last bulb. (Notice the lack of UVB! I was so mad when I saw that I picked up the wrong bulb!) http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/intense_basking_spot.phpCooperDragon":3ejhvj6a said:Lack of proper UVB for that period of time could cause symptoms like that I believe. Correcting the UVB lighting may fix the issue. Did he get any time outside in natural sunlight this summer? The Solar Glo should put out decent amounts of UVB at about 12'' going by that chart. Which wattage did you pick up? I think there are better bulbs out there but this one will certainly be a big improvement over no UVB at all. What did you have in place before?
