    Free 2 year old beardie and all equipment!!

    Sometimes, people are misinformed by the pet store as to what proper lighting is and other times, they have used a UVB bulb past its useful lifespan, which cannot be visibly discerned by the light emitted. @Sadie has a paragraph she likes to use to inform people on basic lighting requirments...

    Free 2 year old beardie and all equipment!!

    This looks like some immediate medical attention and UVB lighting are needed. Right front claw is clearly malformed; left one looks somewhat swollen and lower jaw exhibits uneven underbite. Looks like metabolic bone disease at a stage where it is still quite salvageable. I recommend getting him...

    Going to be a new Bearded Dragon parent, Southeast Michigan.....need advise on where???

    I would drive. I would search all nearby large cities and drive 5 hours each way to get this because it's just too expensive to have a beardie without it. And if still nothing, I would hunt Craigslist new postings daily till I found it. Well, you can raise superworms; I do that too but it's not...

    Going to be a new Bearded Dragon parent, Southeast Michigan.....need advise on where???

    This is exactly what will result in a 12-18 month effort to establish a colony. If you're lucky, you may find a beardie for adoption that comes with a Dubia colony. That's rare. What you need is an ad that says: "Dubia colony available in a 50 gallon tub. Thousands in there, teeming with...

    Going to be a new Bearded Dragon parent, Southeast Michigan.....need advise on where???

    Concurrently, I'd immediately start hunting for an already established large Dubia colony within 2-3 hours drive from you on Craigslist for $100 or less because starting a colony from a breeder pack takes 12-18 months and live feeders for the beardie are very very expensive. If no good deals are...

    Going to be a new Bearded Dragon parent, Southeast Michigan.....need advise on where???

    I recommend adopting one from your local Craigslist. It takes care of an unwanted animal and the price you pay will be insanely lower than if you were to buy a special morph from a breeder. Also, adoptions usually come with all the equipment you need while breeder purchases do not and those...

    Is Zen Habitats worth it?

    I have a device that doctors trust to measure an infant's body temperature to the 0.1 degree in order to help them make medical decisions and you're telling me it's not good enough for a lizard that lives in the Australian wilderness? I think I'll keep my temp gun. Yeah no, I've used 2 for 11...

    Medical standard infrared forehead temp gun. Yeah, it's a 125W Vivosun MVB.

    Is Zen Habitats worth it?

    Alright, so many people wanna see what I got so here it is. That's Bugaboo's crib, with his dense shipping/packing foam black stepper, sunbathing turtle buddy, and his snuggle lobster, as he likes to go to that corner to sleep. The frog he just wants to be submissive cus that's his top bunk...

    Is Zen Habitats worth it?

    LOL Yeah thinking outside the box by putting a lizard in a box! I line the bottom with a few layers of magazine pages; the poop doesn't get through and the cleanup is easy. There's generally an area he goes and I try to get it all on one page. If he does soil through, I can throw the box out...

    Is Zen Habitats worth it?

    1st choice: Get a really large sturdy box used to ship something heavy, I mean like an 80 gallon box or get 2 of the same box, chop a side, then duct tape them together. You will have a massive enclosure that keeps the heat in well in the winter. Another chopped box on top to cover half the...

    I dont think my bearded dragon is doing okay.

    If the ambient temperature in your room has dropped because the temperature outside is dropping, and that will happen sometimes even with central AC maintained at technically the same temperature, then that will affect the temps in your beardie tank. If you actually let the temps drop because in...

    I dont think my bearded dragon is doing okay.

    I'm assuming you put calcium powder (required) and some kind of vitamin (though this is not necessarily needed) on the food so given that, she ate her salad and insects, there is nothing else you need to do dietarily although they can accept a wide array of insects including Dubia roaches. The...

    I dont think my bearded dragon is doing okay.

    Just thought of something else. As fall kicks into winter, your temperatures may be dropping. If you are allowing this to happen in your home, Lila may be beginning to brumate, which will see her naturally become sluggish, sleep most of the day, bask little, and eat very little. If this is the...

    I dont think my bearded dragon is doing okay.

    Nothing looks obviously wrong to me. I did notice that you have thick bedding in there that is highly absorbent though I cannot tell if it is sufficiently dry. So I wonder if the humdity might be too high causing a respiratory infection, which would be very likely if it is damp, even if not on...
