They also absorb water from the insects and greens they eat as well as from the water in the air they breathe.
High humidity for extended periods of time could result in a UR infection. But short spurts are natural, like rain in the Outback.
He had a solid poop yesterday, but I’ll be sending...
Thanks for the info. I’ve read that forcing baths on bearded dragons can potentially have bad effects. Because of warm waters laxative effect, it can cause them to poop before they are completely done digesting their food. And that can cause dehydration. Maybe while they are shedding it can...
I have gone down a rabbit hole or research on trying to replicate natural sunlight spectrum (UV, visible, IR).
Along with this, trying to mimic sunrise and sunset. Meaning gradually changing temps and UVI throughout the day, to mimic the natural changes experienced in the Australian Outback...
I’ve got 3 sides of the cage covered to help reduce reflection and insulate the glass cage. So I don’t think he can really see himself. The smell was stinky but no worse than I expected, the smell wasn’t bad enough to clean the cage.

Surface temperature was taken with a temp gun. Other temperatures are taken and tracked by acurite temp/humidity sensors.
Thanks for the info!

I just want to make sure it’s safe to attribute this to relocation stress and not make care or health (vet appointment for the end of the...
I actually happen to have a Mistking system I’m not currently using. Do you mind telling me how you go about using yours? How often do you let it “rain”? Do you have most nozzles? Or nozzles that spray more droplets than fine mist? Etc… that is definitely an interesting topic, maintaining an...
