    Beardie brumation concerns

    He refuses to poop in the enclosure, and always asks to he let out. So far I havent had to clear poop from the enclosure a single time. I was planning on getting a more bioactive type of substrate in which he could dig, and I can have live plants. He has been eating actively for the past few...

    Beardie brumation concerns

    Hello there! I'm just giving an update. I changed the lighting and he seems to be quite active. He ventured outside his enclosure today, and had a poop. I checked out the poop and there seems to be some kind of granulation in a portion of it, right above the urate. And the urate is rock hard...

    Beardie brumation concerns

    Im telling you third time by now the surface temperatures are perfect - 41°C. The uvb bulb doesnt have a hood no. Im trying to get in contact with a vet so we can get him checked. Do you know maybe how much a checkup would cost?

    The bulb is still as I have shown you in a picture. He doesnt seem to go under the basking bulb much, mainly hangs around the uvb bulb. I feel like the bulb would give off plenty of uvb since its pretty close to the spot he would lay in.

    Beardie brumation concerns

    Hey! I have a question. It is currently winter where I am. I'm using the CHE to make sure temperatures dont drop bellow 21°c in the enclosure. I can't really find information on feeding and I'm trying to do the best thing here. I feel he should be brumating, but he isnt actively sleeping all...

    Beardie brumation concerns

    He didnt poop for weeks. He seems to want to brumate as his activity lowered noticeably but he didnt poop out what he ate a few weeks ago. His stomach is bloated and it is noticeable to me when I pick him up, it just feels there is a lot in there. I think ill put the basking bulb on the other...

    Beardie brumation concerns

    Stomach is bloated and somewhat firm to the touch. The lizard is active and reactive and isnt acting lethargic. Could be full of gas? I cant get him to be in warm water. He just wants to run away and isnt very cooperative

    Beardie brumation concerns

    I have a thermostat and it has a probe which is placed bellow the bask area. The beardie came out a bit today, but he didnt bask. Instead he is in the corner that is the 'cool side'. Why? Maybe he is just used to that spot being the basking area? (The uvb bulb was placed on that socket before...

    I removed the CHE for now and replaced it with Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot 100W bulb that you recommended. I am waiting to get some money to get the arcadia uvb t5 12% kit. I will send you the thermometer when I get home. The temperature reading is accurate as I had tested it. The surface...

    Beardie brumation concerns

    This is the current light setup. There is an LED, a UVB and a CHE. The whole terrarium is made of wood. There is a background made of styrofoam and concrete. I think it looks ugly so when its warmer id like to remake the enclosure. This is the lizard hiding in his spot. A few days ago i...

    I will put the uvb tube in thank. There will be 30cm distance from the bulb to the highest branch. How am I supposed to feed him if he is getting ready to brumate/is brumating? He still hasnt pooped and is bloated

    Beardie brumation concerns

    Previous owners didn't bother much to teach him to eat salads so he doesn't take them often and usually needs to be hand fed. Bug though, he will eat always

    Beardie brumation concerns

    I understand. I'll be doing that. The CHE only heats up a small surface area to high temperatures, but the moment you move from the spot it feels like much colder, and the ambient temp isn't going up. I'll get the heat bulb tomorrow. I'll keep this thread posted. Also, just to check if I'm...

    Beardie brumation concerns

    It is currently winter here. Im a bit poor right now but I'm going to try and give him warm baths whenever I can so he may pass his bowel. Since I weighted him last time he lost 9g, in a few weeks. His belly seems bloated and he didnt poop for a few weeks. He seems to want to brumate but I feel...
