Wow. What size tank is it?

Its a 2x2x4 zen habit

Doe you have a digital probe thermometer? That's going to work best on the hammocks for accurate basking temps

Hello, I happened to have the thermometer below. Will it do?

I’m not sure. I think just store brand adhesive similar to a caulking gun. But for backsplash. I can’t remember exactly. I built my terrarium approaching 1 year this July.

Please get some raw unpasteurized honey like some Manuka that is an example and put on his lip--- it is a antibacterial that will kill any infection and promote healing

hey just got the Manuka. Twas expensivel. $40 for a jar of it. Just administered it. My beardie wasn’t liking it. Hopefully he’ll heal. Wish me luck.

So that is a cut and not blueberry correct? You can use that honey for cooking as well or whatever -- I keep raw unpasteurized honey in the house but I also cook w/ it and my husband eats it on peanut butter sandwiches --

I wasn’t able to determine if it was a cut or from the blueberries. Wasn’t sure how to. Should I have tried wiping his snout first? I just applied the Manuka. Wasn’t thinking that far ahead. Don’t mind me. I’m a bit slow sometimes. Thanks

Try washing it off if it does not come off get a good look at it cleaned up- the determine if it's a cut or not- does he flinch when you touch it

Yes clean w/ vinegar/ water 50/50 ---- do not grout them or seal them in ---- cut to the size of the tank w /a tile cutter and get the measurements inside --- I use a thick shop paper towel from Walmart underneath it catches the watery urate so you can clean tile pull it and replace paper towel under it ---- also its easier to clean and pull those tiles if the dragon gets sick like w/ coccidia / pinworms if you seal the tile in you wont be able to do that --- you want a textured slated ceramic tile --- nothing to coarse or too smooth for traction --- here is a piece of my tile I got from Home Depot -- cost me $13 to tile a 120 gallon tank

This is what was said about the substrate your using

It could be but people are using all sorts of combinations now and as long as the dragon has proper temps. and is well hydrated they're generally fine. One thing you can point out is that if they see a film of dust around the fixtures or top of the tank, then it's probably too dusty. They can spray the substrate down a bit if there is low humidity in the house

Do not use disinfecting wipes- the alcohol is going to burn - just use a washcloth w/ water-

If it's a cut anything w/ alcohol or other stinging ingredients is gonna hurt- just use the water and washcloth or some unscented baby shampoo-

 

[dragonscales]

Hello again. Good news. I just used a wash cloth and it cleared right up. I’ll wait another hour or so. Hopefully it’ll stay cleared up. Here’s a couple of pics before and after.thanks

Im glad ur bearded dragon wasn’t hurt, that coloring was a little worrisome at first glance, do you soak ur beardie?

if not, thats the best way to get them clean, fill up something about 2-3 inches depending on ur beardie, dont fill up the water past their back, get a little toothbrush abs scrub him down, i recommended starting with the top and working ur way down to their butt, so they’re not sitin poop water the whole time, rinse him off and you gotta clean lizard
