    Advice on basking lamp

    Hi, I am getting surface basking temp, I have a digital probe I keep in there to monitor temperature, as well as one on the wall by the basking lamp which feeds information into my thermostat which adjusts the temperature accordingly. That probe on the wall always adjusted temperature well with...

    Advice on basking lamp

    I had a blown fuse a couple days back, and had to buy some new basking bulbs to replace the old one, and replaced the fuse as well. I accidentally bought the Arcadia 100W E27 floodlight, instead of the spotlight which I usually get. The bulb also has a dimmer, I checked. From what I’ve read, it...

    Brumation Behaviour in July

    A little information about his tank to save time: I have a now three year old beardie who lives in a 40 gallon tank with an Arcadia T5 UVB with a reflective hood (that I change every year and it has been changed recently). He lives on tile, and for food he eats mealworms and locusts, along with...

    I know I sound crazy

    beardies can get a little defensive sometimes, but it doesn’t mean yours will be like that forever. he’s not going to be on those meds for the rest of his life, and i promise he will forget all about that soon. i had to give mine medicine every couple of days and he was pretty grumpy with me for...

    brumation

    sorry, i forgot to mention that. it’s in the tank, and is around 12-15 inches away from him.

    brumation

    thank you. he is about a year and seven months, and has a uvb tube (t5 with a reflective hood, if that’s helpful) the temperature in the basking area is 32 degrees celsius also.

    brumation

    i think my beardie is starting the process of going into brumation, and just needed some tips on how to prepare him for it. i know the basics, like baths to keep him hydrated and making sure he poops before but i was wondering about lighting. should i shorten the lighting hours over the time...

    tail scrape

    my beardie had a small tumble and scraped his tail, i noticed grey scales on point of impact, some of them came off. is there anything i can do to treat his tail/is it necessary to treat it?

    possible respiratory infection?

    he has a long tubular uv, i believe a T5 UVB with a reflective hood. in the humidity case, i used to have a water bowl but have since taken it out. it’s fairly humid outside, which is probably why. i have got a dehumidifier in the room of his tank, a gel dehumidifier in his tank and hygrometers...

    possible respiratory infection?

    we have had some quite hot and humid weather where we live, and my beardie has recently started gaping when he’s not hot on especially humid days (which i think is breathing through the mouth) he is also very lethargic, all he wants to do is go to his hide and sleep. he eats a little, but not...

    his poops look normal, he does it very two days or so, sometimes a little longer, nothing undigested in there. he does eat, but not as much as i would expect from a growing bearded dragon. i also have replaced his UVB recently so i don’t believe that to be the problem. i can get it tested though.

    bearded dragon stressed

    alright thank you. quick question, if the temperature wasn’t high enough wouldn’t he try to bask more? because he isn’t basking in general, at least not that i’ve seen of him.

    bearded dragon stressed

    his UVB lamp covers the entire length of the tank, and around 30-31 C basking temp, which i recorded using a probe thermometer. i’ll look into basking temps in more detail though, you are probably right about it being too low.
