    What to expect during brumation

    Hey all. I have had my beardie a little over a year now. He is about 16 months old so I'm guessing he will be starting to brumate this year sometime over the next few months. Just trying to get some ideas and advice on what to expect? I usually take him to school with me as our class pet...

    Humidity

    What's the best way to control humidity? I can't seem to consistently get my humidity below 60%. I have tried leaving the ceiling fan on to circulate the air better, I have tried putting extra newspaper and cork pieces in the tank to try and soak up some of the moisture, but I'm not having...

    Ate a rock

    My 14 month old beardie accidentally ate a little rock, about the size of fish tank gravel. Will this pass naturally at some point? I know dirt and sand can sometimes cause an impaction. What is my next course of action? I will try and get him to drink a bit more water to soften up his...

    I need help

    The bottom is covered in corks. I had been using a towel, but thought he might like to dig around a bit with the corks. Makes cleanup pretty easy too, as I can just discard them. Yea, I heard the domes weren't the greatest. I'll have to look into an upgrade. Tank is a 30 gallon

    I need help

    I'll have to look for a less powerful ceramic heater to lower the temperature at night a bit. No, not the gauge on the back. I have an infrared gun that I check regularly.

    I need help

    Here is a picture of his set up. He ate 2 crickets, 3 super worms and a few pieces of greens for breakfast, but wasn't to interested in anything more than that. It is 98 degrees in his basking spot and 78 degrees on the cool side of the tank.

    I need help

    I can post a picture of him and his set up when I get home. I have two zoo med 75W UVA basking lights and a zoo med UVB bulb during the day. At night, I use a ceramic heater. During the day, his hammock sits under the basking site and the temperature is between 98-104. At night with the...

    I need help

    Question about feeding. My guy is a little over a year old and he hasn't been eating like he normally does. It's been about a week or so and his appetite has decreased. I would normally feed him 10-12 crickets and 1-2 superworms in the morning for breakfast. He would have a bowl of greens in...

    Dead food

    What's the rule on dead food for dragons? Ok to feed dead crickets, dubias, etc. or is it best to dispose of the dead ones and only feed living feeders?

    Shedding

    Is there normally an inconsistency with shedding patterns? I've had my guy since September, and he is about 9 months old. He had a mass of about 35g when I got him and now he is upwards of 150g. He has shed a few times, but it seems each time is very different and inconsistent with others...

    He Won't Poop

    What is "normal" poop for juvenile beardies? My guy is about 8 months old. He is usually pretty good for a nice bowel movement once per day. Some days, it is very solid and sort of looks like a little earth worm with a white sac attached to it. Other days it is much more runny and...

    Growth and size check

    Hi all. My beardie is about 8 months old. He seems to be in good health and is eating and pooping everyday. He is about 25cm long and weighs about 70g. He hasn't "grown" much in the 3 months I have had him, although he has gained some mass. When I got him, he was about 35g and about 22cm...

    Lethargy/Not Eating

    Why do pet stores and pet supply companies even make colored lights if they are no good? What's the purpose of IR red or UV black lights if they can be potentially harmful to our pets? I understand the motives of making a quick buck or two and keeping up with sales projections, but at the end...

    Lethargy/Not Eating

    For now, I just have the stick on temp/humidity gauge from the pet store. I can invest in an IR thermometer if that will be more accurate and reliable. I have a blue and red 75W exo-terra light. I have two 50W zoo-med UVA/UVB bulbs. I was hesitant to get a stronger bulb because the light...

    Lethargy/Not Eating

    I have similar questions about my little guy. I'm a first time dragon owner, so much of the information I have about them is through forums like this and what the breeder told me when I purchased him. My little guy is about 6 months old, and I've had him for about 2 months now. He has shed...
