    DOES MY BEARDED DRAGON HAVE YELLOW FUNGUS?!

    This happened to my Fiona. After bathing her, I applied Lotrimin to the yellow on her chin & belly. I mean, she had it bad! All I know is that, after a few weeks, I would bathe her & then use a gentle soft tooth brush all over. If she starts to move away, leave it alone and go back to it...

    Help please. (eye infection, poor appetite)

    My 3 year old was adopted too. Same thing happened. Like the previous poster said, get him to the vet for a fecal. I did & my beardie was fine. It was the start of her brumation period. Is there any way you can get in touch with her previous owners to find out if she went through such a...

    Water bowl?

    I totally got rid of the water bowl. I had two big fancy bowls but it's a marketing ploy. The only way I've been able to get Fiona to drink is to fill a glass dropper bottle & squeeze little drips onto her snout every 2-3 days. If she is thirsty, she laps it up. Make sure it is filtered or...

    Basking spot question

    I use a 75 watt reptisun for the UVA in the warmer months. Put your thermometer close by and get a thermometer "gun" to find the perfect wattage. May have to try several to get the right temps.

    Ideas on how to spunk up a boring enclosure?

    I added a stuffed animal and some flannel fabric with little lizetd cowboys on it! A fake aloe Vera plant with bright colored scrapbook paper as a view until I get an actual background.

    New owner: specific help with lights

    How in the world did you manage to get your fluorescent UVB strip UNDER your mesh hood? After 6 months, I realized I could wrap wires around my light and tie it to the mesh hood. It's between 10-12 inches from my beardie. Hope this hel

    Can’t eat veggies

    It's a lot of work! My Fiona is quite wiley with her food. I have to tear mustard, collard & turnip greens into thumbnail size peices. Then I place a wax worm between two peices with its head sticking out like a sandwich.

    160W bulb in a 150W holder?

    I never put in the max bulb. If your dome says 160 is the max, then stay under 160. I feel like maybe I'm not understanding your question possibly?

    What equipment do you use?

    I think Reptisun has some really good quality florescent and mercury bulbs. I also like the Flukers domes to place the UVA bulbs and the ceramic heat bulbs (for nighttime). I bought mine from Amazon & Chewy. I found a small mom & pop place to buy from here in the city too. Just have to do...

    Coping With Yellow Fungus Discovery

    How do I put this in words? Don't read this if you are limited on time. I am totally in love with this girl. Her name is Fiona & Life was great until yesterday. Ive made an appointment with a reptile vet for Monday. I saw the yellow areas on her belly a few months after rescuing her from...

    Stuck shed?

    Thanks! I've followed this thread because I am yearning for answers until I can get Fiona to a herp vet.

    Fiona will only eat when food is offered by hand. Sleeps a lot so I'm not worried. I've ordered a scale. She's definitely too skinny.

    Need advice on setup and lighting choice

    Joesmom, how is he acting? Can you describe what is different about him since you put up the long UVB? By the way, it might be that he's sensitive to change possibly?
