    Beardie Not Eating on Her Own

    Just one other question regarding the basking temps. I've always assumed that temp to mean the surface temp of whatever is below the basking bulb. Is that accurate? If it's the air between the basking bulb and the tiles, that temp is obviously going to be different. The tiles can get quite...

    Beardie Not Eating on Her Own

    I had red clay tile in there for a basking area that I put in there about 2 months ago because that's what she had in her 40 gal tank and I thought she might like that better. She did have flat black slate tiles before. She hasn't been basking hardly at all for at least the past month since I...

    Beardie Not Eating on Her Own

    So I've lowered her UVB to where it's 12 inches from the top of the log she sits on. When she's on it, it's only about 8 inches from the top of her head. It's 16 inches from the light to the floor of her enclosure, so about 12 inches from the top of her head. I said earlier that in midday...

    Beardie Not Eating on Her Own

    OK, thanks. I will start on that. I can add chain links back to the hooks that will lower the UVB. I actually removed them before because I thought it was too low and decided to raise it up some. I'll go back to leaving the heat emitter off at night. I thought maybe she was getting too cold...

    The follicle issue seems to have been taken care of with the surgery since she had a complete hysterectomy. Not sure if there could still be lingering issues from that tough. It's mainly just the not wanting to eat on her own is the problem now. I have a hard time balancing the temps in the...

    Beardie Not Eating on Her Own

    There are 3 thermometers in her enclosure. One on each side and one in the middle. The two on the sides are of the digital probe variety and the one in the middle is digital and also measures the humidity. If she is sitting on the log like in the pictures, the UVB is about 14 inches away. If...

    Beardie Not Eating on Her Own

    This is a pick of her enclosure. The cool side is usually 78 to 82, the warm side 85 to 90 and her basking is around 105 normally, taken with a heat gun. I'm sorry, I don't have the original bloodwork that was done last year. The vet just said everything looked normal. Over the last few...

    Beardie Not Eating on Her Own

    OK, I'm going to try to keep this as short as possible, although I think it's still going to be long since I want to provide enough detail to give a good background story here. We have a female beardie who is approx. 20 months old now. We basically adopted her after pet-sitting her for about a...
