    Is he ok?

    Hi; the tank looks super duper dark. He needs proper UVB & all UVB lights needs replacing religiously every “6”mnths. The best and most proper UVb is the Reptisun 10.0 T5; it’s a long tubular bulb. The length order should cover 70 percent of the tank & should be placed starting on the basking...

    Not moving

    The temp is too low; it should be 95-97 for an adult 1 year or older and 100-105 for a Beardie less than a year old. Also, make sure u are using a clear bulb for heat. The zoomed CLEAR basking bulb is the best. Never went use colored or coiled bulbs!! Also change the UVB light every 6months...

    Swollen arms!!

    Beardies are taken out of their cage and bathed twice a week in a tub or sink. Also they need to be sprayed and misted twice a day & more baths when they are shedding. We rescue and rehome otherwise & this needs to be done otherwise the shed will stick and cut off their circulation. Also u can...

    Not sure what to do (no poop for 2 days)

    Remember also a Beardie doesn’t necessarily need to poop everyday. Also, be careful with what Sadie says; he claims not to ever give baths or jist your Beardie. If they are shedding and get no baths; then the shed will stick and cut off their circulation. Also Beardies obtain their water intake...

    Not sure what to do (no poop for 2 days)

    Please read what I posted for some vital info. I forgot to mention also it’s good to get a poop sample & bring it into the vet and have the vet test it for parasites. A big major one that’s like lice in the tummy is called Coccidia. It happens when enclosures are not kept clean. Poop needs to be...

    Help (Won't stay in soaking container)

    Beardies need Baths twice a week and more when shedding for 15min minimum. Make sure the water is lukewarm and it’s dechlorinated. Sprinkle some Reptisafe drops always in the bath water to remove the chlorine; it’s bad for their skin and dries it out. Make sure the water level is not too high...

    Not sure what to do (no poop for 2 days)

    Give him a warm bath at room temp and rub his tummy downwards to help him poop. He’s impacted. Never ever feed mealworms they impact a Beardie and make sure the veggies are not bigger than the space between his 2 eyes. Make sure the veggies are sliced flat like slicing a cucumber. And then in...

    New Bearded Dragon Adoption Advice

    The best and most recommended UVB light is the Reptisun 10.0 T5; that’s the best. Low energy and not moving much, or barely eating is UVB related. The UVB needs replacing every “6”mnths. U can kill a dragon & destroy his bones (MBD) within a month of not having the UVB emitting UVB. It’s best to...

    New Bearded Dragon Adoption Advice

    You are very welcome. Baths is how they absorb water, especially if they aren’t drinking from their dish, which most Beardies don’t. U def don’t force it, just Fill up the tub or sink with enuff water so that it’s way below their neck and make sure it’s a sliver warm and play meditation Music...

    New Bearded Dragon Adoption Advice

    Liquidy poop is a sign of either Coccidia due to a dirty cage or the temps are not hot Enuff. Low energy is due to the UVB that needs replacing or improper UVB being used. For heat use a clear bulb the zoomed basking bulb is the best and for UVB use the Reptisun 10.0 T5; it’s a long tubular...
