    Concerned about dark end of tail

    Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it and maybe put some aloe on it anyway.

    Concerned about dark end of tail

    Hi, it can bend easily and it feels no different than the rest of the tail.

    Concerned about dark end of tail

    Hi My dragons tail shed last week and I don't think the tip shed. I've bathed her a couple of times and sprayed but it seems no better. It's quite dark but I can't tell if there's retained shed or not. She can move her whole tail fine and does not seem to be in any pain. Anyway, here's a pic...

    Shedding and puking up

    Thanks for the pointers Renee. I'll take carrots out of his diet completely and get hold of other veggies for him.

    Shedding and puking up

    Hi Renee: He poops once or twice a day and they are always solid but the occasional one has some liquid with it. Hi Wolfman and crypticdragon: We do feed really small carrot pieces, we usually grate a carrot on a cheese grater then chop the resulting really thin bits of carrot up. Still the...

    Shedding and puking up

    Hi, thanks for the swift reply. 1. Basking temp is between 39 & 41C depending on the ambient temp outside. This is measured with a twin probe digital thermometer. 2. We leave veg for him in the morning then supply fresh veg about 6pm when I get in from work. I'd say on any given day he will...

    Shedding and puking up

    Hi my BD is shedding, just his head to go now. Anyway he's been eating pretty much OK throughout, but twice now I have seen carrots and some other mess on the floor of the viv. It's not obvious if this is sick or poop but I'm just wondering if it's normal during shedding or not ? Whilst...

    Confused about ceramic heater and basking spot

    He's seeming much happier these last couple of days. He's basking properly, much more alert and is very cool about being handled. He's not eating as much as I'd like but he is eating more each day, yesterday he ate about 10 crickets. We've had him 10 days and he's had 5 poops, do you think we...

    Confused about ceramic heater and basking spot

    OK I've unplugged the habistat and replaced the ceramic heater with a 50W Halogen spot bulb. Temps got a little high (42C) so I have put in a 50W spot light (non halogen) and am monitoring temps. I'm keeping my eye on the veggie sizes too ;) I'll update when I have more info, thanks for your...

    Confused about ceramic heater and basking spot

    Hi Renee, thanks for the reply. I cannot remember the make of the UVB light, but I've just ordered a Arcadia D3 12% with a reflector. From answer 1 you seem to be saying that I should be using a light bulb to provide basking temps. What I have at the moment is a ceramic heat bulb generating...

    Confused about ceramic heater and basking spot

    Hi folks I'm pretty sure I've set my vivarium up incorrectly. I have a ceramic heat light controlled by a habistat pulse proportional thermostat at the left hand side of the cage. I was originally using the habistat to try and get the left side of the cage up to 100-105 F but I have since...
