Thanks again, Sadie :)
I am not sure if it is you, or someone else who helped me a few years ago, but if it weren't for this forum my little dragon friend might have died:
I "adopted" Francis, a male bearded dragon from a Youth Center that was closing down. No one wanted him (*sniff*), and he...
Thank you :)
I have an appointment Friday with the exotics vet that I go to, just to make sure the female is doing ok. The egg part seems so delicate to me. Partially beause it is, partially because I have never done this. So thank you for any help.
I did NOT candle the eggs. I also did not mark where the embryo is. I only put them in the incubator 3 hours ago. Should I open it up to do this candling process? Or leave them as they are?
Note: Excuse me for being not completely prepared. She is a "rescue" beardie and it was told to me when...
Also, he looks super skinny there, but he is 24'' and 756 grams, which the vet said is a lovely size for a beardie in the winter months. (His light cycle is currently at 11 hours of daylight, 13 hours of darkness)
Hi Sadie :)
He currently has an Arcadia T5 12% UV-B bulb, hanging INSIDE of the tank.
(Attached = Him sitting 6-8'' underneath it)
I used silver wire to hang it from the mesh top of his current tank. ....He always looks grumpy when I open the enclosure between 1pm and bedtime, when he is most...
UPDATE:
Thank you both, very much, for your help.
Francis has a wonderful bill of health!:
x-rayx => pnuemonia is all gone;
blood work => his vitamin levels are in good order; and
fecal => he has no intestinal parasites =D
He is a solid 24'' long. I have a new enclosure on the way. After...
THANK YOU. The tank looks cluttery, but there are logs on both cool and warm side to climb on or hide under. I do think he needs a bigger one though. Settling up the new Arcadia T5 now. He had the vet yestetday:
His pnumonia is all gone, he has no intestinal parasites, and he gained weight while...
Here is an image of the top... it was next to impossible to get an image... it seems to be very fine metal wire. The distance from current bulb to basking spot is 43 cm at its furthest, but with a hammock he has the choice of being at 25 cm. The height of the overall viv is 46 cm.
The light tube and fixture are supposed to arrive in the next 24 hours :)
I have attached an image of his current space so that you may help me with placement. Please let me know if you would like a different visual angle, and I will promptly take another one!
Thank you!! His energy level is right back up to regular this morning after some hand feeding!! He and I thank you!!
I will send a proper pic/measurements of enclosure a little later for when the new light arrives.
Things are looking up- feeling grateful!
Brilliant! Haha, so simple yet so helpful :)
I will keep plugging away! (Also I'm taking my smart and helpful dad with me to the vet appointment to make sure I do all that good stuff! -even though I'm 33... the vet/doctor's can be tricky)
I will hand feed him, thank you!
(I was worried to do so b/c I thought it would hurt his mouth more)
Again- he is adopted by me. (He was in a less-than-ideal situation before, and there was no one else to adopt him). I have learned a lot about bearded dragons in this past year. However, if I had...
