    Zen Habitat Setup

    He does, and he has a place on each end (hot/cool) to get under the UVB. The bulb and CHE combo keeps his temps exactly where they need to be throughout the tank, without the basking spot getting hotter than he prefers, or the cool end being either too cool or too warm. This is the setup that...

    Help with new beardie enclosure please

    I think you'll find the 20L is not going to be big enough for very long, so you may want to consider a tank upgrade at the same time, if you can manage it, so you can get the different fixtures for the bigger tank, instead of for the small one now and then new ones later when you have to get the...

    Zen Habitat Setup

    Here is Norbert's. I have the Reptisun t5HO UVB tube fixture with 10.0 bulb, and for basking I have a halogen household bulb, supplemented by a CHE on a thermostat. The che is over that hammock in the back on the right. The UVB fixture is hung on the support bars with thin chain, hooked to zip...

    Very black and aggressive

    Maybe he just thinks you need new furniture! :-D Is he only aggressive toward the furniture and not toward you? Can you try him in another (safe) room and see how he does?

    New beardie and inclosure

    Hey, my dragon is Norbert, too! :0) Good job on your setup and temps - I really struggled with the temps and UVB placement when I moved mine into the bigger viv from Zen Habitats (*love the viv - just took some time to get the setup right). Your Norbert is very cute! :0)

    Just got a new beardie

    With no bugs for several days, he may just surprise you and start eating some of the salad. Is symtonbsf backlogged? (I haven't been on in a while. Also try aafeeder.com (all about feeders) - I just got an order of supers, bsfl, and hornworms, and it shipped right away. :0)

    New beardie behavior

    It sounds like you've got her setup nearly perfect. The 10.0 bulb will be a good change, but the 5.0 is what usually comes with the T5HO fixture, so you didn't make a mistake with that, really, you just needed to know to buy the separate 10.0 bulb. If you can get a kitchen/food scale that can be...

    eye bulging

    Could just be warming her eyeballs. :-D

    eye bulging

    They do that while basking sometimes, and also to loosen skin for shedding. It's freaky looking, but if it's momentary like that, it's nothing to worry about. :0)

    Help! Struggling to poop

    Poor guy! Glad he passed that! Mine tends to have issues with dehydration when he's not eating much, and he'll have hard urates. Thankfully he's started eating salad more often, and he will drink from the bath.

    Help! Struggling to poop

    Try a warm bath, and gently massage his lower tummy area if he'll let you.

    Butt Protruding??? Help!!

    That looks like what is called a prolapse. Are you able to take her to a reptile vet? There are some things you can do in the meantime that may help. Keep her well hydrated, don't feed her for a day or two, and then feed only soft small food (bsfl, other worms, baby food). You can try *very...

    My beardie not pooping

    You were, but at least it showed up. :0) Look for something like "new thread" or "post new thread" to start your own.

    Heat and humidity

    Sadly, the kits are profit machines, not proper care setups. The colored bulb may be appropriate for a different animal, but never for a beardie. The calci sand is potentially harmful, the compact coil (as opposed to long tube) UVB bulb is inadequate and potentially harmful, and the pellet food...
