    something wrong with beardies poop

    It doesn't look particularly bad. There is some slime, kind of but that in and of it self may not be bad. The best thing would be to get a fecal exam. I believe there are companies that you can send in to, so it is not necessarily a vet visit. But a fecal exam will either identify a...

    Substrate

    So I don't recommend the reptile carpet for that reason. The fake grass type is easier to clean. The simple answer is you have to take it out and wash it regularly. Hot water and a mild soap, or I believe vinegar, but hard to get the smell out. What are other options ? I am listening...

    I can't figure out what my bearded dragon has.

    So this would definitely be something for a vet. As mentioned. the truly odd thing is that it does look like a horn. Even the scales seem shaped around it. I almost wonder if it is a mutation. I have seen the results of some of the things mentioned above, but nothing like this.

    MBD? And whats wrong with his poop?!

    It refers to what percentage of the light is UVB light. Think of the light as particles. Beardies use a 14%.

    MBD? And whats wrong with his poop?!

    OK the good news is you haven't had him long enough to have caused any issues. Having said that the UVB is critical, You already said you are getting that. Don't go short on it. Look for Arcadia PRO T5 KIT, it comes with bulb of choice, and is reasonably priced. Like many other oddly the 48"...

    Bearded dragon with mouth open

    I don't think it is particularly abnormal. It is because they are warming up fast and getting hot. I know seem counter intuitive, but this is how the cool. Just like you sweating too cool it doesn't necessarily mean it is to hot. However, Gaping and arching, he does not seem to bee doing...

    MBD? And whats wrong with his poop?!

    So squishy poo is not bad necessarily. But we need picks if you have them. Could you give us feed back on Lighting, heat, UVB type and brand, cage size, supplements schedule and diet.

    Bioactive enclosure, respiratory issues?

    so I think Biodude sells a descendant product, but his husbandry can be off. I have not set up Bioactive for my bearded yet so I don’t have any advice substrate. It is one of the things I am deciding on

    Dehydrated??? Sick??? HELP

    Well like a dog or cat, every things seems fine, except the hair, skin is dehydrated and the animal just keeps loosing weight even though feeding normal. It is only a problem if left untreated for a long time as to cause internal damage from starvation. I think your guy will be fine if it is...

    red cylinders in black soldier fly container?

    So that part confuses me as well. I have only had them once, but I am gathering they can pupate at different sizes. But not real sure lol. Wish I had more. Many Chameleon owners pupate they and feed the adult flys.

    Bioactive enclosure, respiratory issues?

    What are your humidity levels ? check at late night too, it will be higher then. Respiratory usually comes from or involves humid stagnate air. This would be my guess. Also is there substrate that is dusty ? this could lead to some iteration.

    Dehydrated??? Sick??? HELP

    OK so wait. Bearded dragons come from hot dry regions. They should get plenty of moisture from food. In this case he clearly is not, although his feeding seems normal. I would guess parasite, worms if you will. A vet should be able to prescribe, if a vet is not an option, just look up what...

    Those are pupated larva. Like a cocoon soon to be a real fly.

    Substrate

    I have found the fake grass/reptile carpet is the easiest. Dont order on Amazon. Go to hardware store, they will likely have a couple of options. One will be like the "plastic " fake grass I use this it looks pretty good, and cleans easily. The Other will be a more material type, this is like...
