    Uvb levels too high in a new bulb??

    (I’ll add that I use zoo med t5 tube style bulbs, or occasionally Arcadia 12% when I can find them, if that makes a difference)

    Uvb levels too high in a new bulb??

    I read somewhere a few years ago (and have a few reptile friends that also believe) that you should run a uvb light for 24 hours before putting it in their enclosures because the uv levels are too high, but I can’t seem to find it again? Is there truth in this?

    Sweet potato vine?

    I didn’t mean to be confusing, I am asking for a bearded dragon, someone just had the tortoise info. Thank you so much for looking into that for us. I’ll go tell her right now <3

    Sweet potato vine?

    Someone else commented that they are a “do not feed” for tortoises. They’re part of the nightshade family- highly oxtcalic-binds calcium.

    Sweet potato vine?

    If you can find out I’d be very appreciative. I’m admin-ing for a bd care group on fb and we are all at a loss.

    Sweet potato vine?

    I know sweet potatoes are safe, but could they eat the vine and leaves too??

    Blood after eating a superworm?! Please help!

    The vet thought that at first too, but we use soft bamboo tweezers that are supposed to prevent mouth injury. Her best guess is that he got excited exploring all the new things in his new tank (we just moved him the day before) and he bit onto a rock. Either way, now when he gets fed I drop...

    Blood after eating a superworm?! Please help!

    I asked the vet if this was common, and she said “not especially but I’m not really worried about it. There’s still a chance it could grow back.” But when she came back from pulling it she showed me the jawbone attached and didn’t think the chances of it growing back were very high. I’ve read...

    I don’t think you’re mistaken, I was probably not very clear. Having a tooth “pulled” is not really the right term, even though the vet did pull it out of his mouth. If you look very very closely there is a bit of jawbone attached to the tooth, so that is the part that actually broke, it was...

    Oh yes! She left him some delicious soft worms. Poor baby!

    I’m glad I brought him in, he broke a tooth and had to have it pulled. Now we’re just watching for redness, swelling, asymmetrical face.

    Blood after eating a superworm?! Please help!

    i was feeding dragon some super worms this morning, I feed them one at a time with tweezers. He ate a few and I went to grab a new one and looked back and there was Blood on the floor of his tank and on his lips. I dropped the worm I was holding to go grab a towel and he didn’t chase after it...

    Should eat bees???

    That’s so helpful, thank you! I didn’t realize ladybugs were dangerous, and it’s about to be peak season for them here. Thanks for the response and heads up!
