i cant help but notice the beardies that have been loved in lost in the beardie memorial section due to impaction :( it has me quite worried that mine may get it in the future. I'm being extra careful with feeding, substrate, uvb, etc.
but what else can i do? or am i just being overprotective and worrying about something that may not happen?

Well what substrate are you using?

I like feeding soft bodied worms like butterworms,hornworms and silkworms.

They are great.

As long as you follow the space between eye rule you will be fine.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
