Some bulb companies say their product is good at least 6 months. Maybe 9. For about $200 there a device that lets you check the bulb for effectiveness. For $30 or so bucks I’m just gonna get new, have about 1 month left on my current bulb.
Yes beardies enetwrtainmemt is watching and looking at things. Try and leave the tv on all Day on mellow shows; like friends and george Lopez, they don’t like loud violent shows or movies; they love to watch tv. I keep my rv on all day so they can watch.
Hi; we reacue & rehome; Did u read my in-depth post to you? The 5.0 Bulb emits little to NO UVB; the 10.0 is the best & correct UVB and yes replace it every 6Mnths it will still Turin on but won’t emit UVb that’s why replace it every 6Mnths & yes your beardie will be more active and will jot be sick with bone disease. U will be lucky if he’s ok because the 5.0 is worthless. Also for heat use the clear Zoomed basking bulb; maybe your temps are off if he’s cold . U need a digital thermometer and a digital hygrometer placed on the hot side with the long probe placed on the basking platform so u can acuuartwly see the temp and get an infrared gun from Home Depot to shine on the basking spot u shine it and inch away and that gives complete accuracy. Temp for a Beardie over 8mnths should be 95-98.
Yes I read it thank you, was just confirming. So is he sick? What do you mean I’m lucky if he’s ok? Should I bring him to the vet? As far as installing the 10.0 bulb, the correct distance is 12-15 inches away from his basking spot correct? And that’s inside the cage? I think that’s what sadie was saying. He’s not cold in his cage Im positive I got him a great heat lamp I use a digital thermometer i looks at it a few times a day. he does get cold at night so I’m thinking about buy those “ceramic heating bulbs” for the night
I really hope I didn’t hurt him the first month I had him he had ZERO UVB cus I was using those coil bulbs but for 3 months he’s been using the 5.0 at a not good distance was like 13 inches above the basking spot but it was on top of my screen which is fine mesh
Hey so I’m having a hard time figuring out how to hang it inside because there’s nothing to hang it by I can’t really hang it to the screen mesh. I attached pictures below. Would you mind showing me how you did yours?? Im thinking maybe I should Velcro it around the whole metal frame of the first screen does that make sense?
Velcro strips would be perfect , if it doesn’t feel safe, cover the full top of the fixture with it, if it fell on your beardy , it would be not good for shure, id run some thin metal wire through ur screen around the fixture for extra security , they make tiny zip ties that are long too.
3 M command Velcro fasteners- picture hanging wire – long plastic zip ties-fishing line - potted plant wire hangers or this stuff works great its like a Velcro strap cut into strips and wrap around the fixture https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-15-ft-Cable-Ties-Hook-and-Loop-Spool-Black-10375/304220195

How Often Should You Take Your Bearded Dragon Out Of Its Cage?
If you have a bearded dragon, you may have wondered if your pet likes to be outside its cage! And if so, what is the healthy amount of time to have them out? Taking a
I wouldn’t use a heat pad (way to dangerous) and they get heat from above not below, but a blanket is a wonderful idea! I have a softer hanky that mine sleeps on
I just hold the blanket in my hand and wrap up my little Clementine like a burrito while holding her on my chest. She moves around. There's lots of things you could make, a cave is a good idea, they sell lizard slings on Amazon but I'm sure they're not difficult to make! They love spending time with their owners!
Wowww I loveeee that going to order one now!!!I wouldn’t use a heat pad (way to dangerous) and they get heat from above not below, but a blanket is a wonderful idea! I have a softer hanky that mine sleeps on
That’s so cute!!! I love when I burrito him after a bath and I’m def looking into cozy accessories!!
At the end it’s either this tank or the 40 gallon I currently have. Is it worth upgrading since it’s only 67 gallon or should I just stick woth the 40 bec I can’t go bigger than 67 gallon.
