    Help my Rex :(

    I’ll definitely do that! I just recently got the new basking bulb so I’ll switch to a similar set up once this one dies! I have a thermometer for the hot side of his tank and I have one of those digital surface ones that I use for his basking rock and the other one. I just moved his other rock...

    This is the basking lamp and bulb I have for him right now I did end up placing it on the outside of the enclosure for now so about 30% of the rays get filtered out according to the zen habitat person I asked but now it’s not too close to him since it’s 160W.I didn’t know you had the same...

    I did! I lowered it with more zip ties it does shift so it won’t stay pointed down so I’ll be getting what you recommend to keep it in place! I’ll see if he’ll eat some salad now too but he doesn’t like any greens or vegetables

    I’ll definitely get those to help keep the fixtures in place! I did lower the uvb which has helped him so much already! It’s on zip ties though so it never stays pointed downward so I’ll get those! He also just ate a horn worm :) he’s been crawling and moving around his tank more since yesterday...

    I think at the moment he was eating more fruits bc he enjoyed it and I liked watching him eat it :( he pooped last night though! He’s currently at my friends house because my apartment doesn’t allow reptiles. They said that his poop was solid for the most part! He’s also moving now! He’s...

    Thank you! I will do all that! There’s only one exotic animal hospital in my area and they’re very booked out I’m looking into other places that take beardies to make him a sooner appointment! It’s a 160w solar glo and i know it is pretty low :( It’s only been like that for a day so far since I...

Also He never eats greens :( I’ve tried since I’ve had him. any tips on getting him to start? the only things he’ll eat besides live bugs and the veggie pellets are watermelon, grapes and strawberries but I don’t give...

    Thank you! I put some flukers brand adult bearded dragon veggie food in there and some of their “gourmet” type mealworm food :( he’s a really picky eater and won’t walk and the only live food I had at the time were crickets and some mealworms and he wasn’t eating them even when I tried to hand...

    It is a T5 HO yes! I just got it today. I used to use a single 160W mercury bulb with both UVA and UVB and just now added the T5 uvb light with a brand new 160W basking bulb with both uva/uvb. I switched the mercury bulb every 5 months since I’ve had him and haven’t noticed anything wrong with...

    Hi!!! I rescued a neglected beardie named Rex about a year and a half ago. I got all the stuff from his previous owner. He was never super active and I don’t know how old he is I just know he’s at least over 5 years old. But he was fine and sort of playful for a year and a half I even replaced...
