Brumation in Bearded Dragons
Written by Denise R.

How long have you had the dragon?
Hi; U still keep the UVB & heat on for the normal time frame & still place the normal food and water so mustard greens, yellow squash, dandelions etc. Dragons sometimes go into Briimation mine never do. Please check the temp with an infrared gun; it may be too hot in there for him. Also the in light needs changing every 6 months religiously. Please buy the Reptisun 10.0 T5 it’s a long tubular bulb. I order on Amazon or at a specialty reptile store. Never use coiled or colored bulbs ever. The heat lamp should be clear like the sun. The zoomed basking bulb is best. Make sure he has a cave/hideaway house under his basking platform to get away from the in as needed.
Sadie u still need to place food and water on the tank!! And dragons rarely go into Brunatiion. The temp is prolly off and it’s blazing hot in the tank!!! UVB needs replacing every 6months and need to monitor the temps in the cage!!!
Is he showing any stress marks? The opening of the mouth is called gaping- hes adjusting his body temp -- it sounds like hes doing well -- does he run from you when you put your hand in the tank?
he tries to run from me when i slowly put my hand in but is fine when i walk by his cage or sit in front to talk to him once i pick him up by sliding my hand under his belly he freaks out i think his last owner never held him
Ok you need to let him learn to trust you -- maybe hand feed him some horn worms super worms - patience is key just keep working w/ him and he will eventually come around - give him a blanket or piece of clothing w / your smell on it place in his hide that too will help
ok thank u never thought about the clothing or blanket part also wondering instead of using dirt could i use a reptile carpet that is like rubber like the picture i just posted below good i got him from his last owner and he has two light domes over head on left side is his heat lamp the other the uvb light i dont know what type of bulb it is but i will have my son look when he gets home from work u have any good idea on what kind to use for him
those are good but you something w/ less grooves - something more smoother so the poop doesnt get stuck in the grooves or you will be having to take it out to actually get it clean- if its on a dome its NO good - you want a long tube fixture I can post links for them if you like
yes please i would very much appreciate that i am so tired of the dirt i like to keep my bearded dragon bowls and water bowl clean but keeps whipping his tail and glass surfs getting his dirt in his bowls and water and i am changing it like almost ever couple hours lol
so you want links for the UVB? https://www.amazon.com/s?k=NON+AHDH...re,aps,91&ref=nb_sb_noss&tag=exoticpetnetw-20
