    New UVB fixture blew out my UVB lights, how to fix?

    On the front of the box, there are two light recommendations, the reptisun T5HO 5.0 and the 10.00; those were the two lights I tried to use with it that it blew out (the 5.0 came preinstalled into the fixture, the 10.00 I took out of my enclosure) -it says it holds 24watt lights, which both of...

    New UVB fixture blew out my UVB lights, how to fix?

    This new fixture I bought was actually the exact one Sadie told me to buy on my previous thread and the same one you linked, and, honestly, I only have $2 left in my bank account after buying a replacement light after this new fixture nuked the light I had. I don’t think the fixture itself is...

    New UVB fixture blew out my UVB lights, how to fix?

    Additional info: the first fixture i got 2 years ago had this problem too initially, but I thought it was an isolated incident and didn’t think about it at all when I got this new fixture (you dont generally think plugging something in and turning it on will lead to disaster) - so I didn’t know...

    New UVB fixture blew out my UVB lights, how to fix?

    I ordered the ZooMed/ Reptisun Terrarium Hood as a new UVB fixture with a reflector (whereas I didn’t have a reflector before); when I plugged it in and flipped the switch, nothing happened, so I thought maybe the light that came with it was faulty. I took out my ReptiSun 10.00 T5HO light from...

    Bearded dragon suddenly weak and having a hard time moving ? :(

    No there’s not a reflector. Should I look into getting one?

    Bearded dragon suddenly weak and having a hard time moving ? :(

    It’s within 12-15 inches of his basking spot. The UVB definitely reaches him when he’s basking. I’ve had the same setup for 2 years with him and never has there been a problem like this before. This is very sudden. I also thought the signs looked like MBD and tried everything to remedy it that I...

    Bearded dragon suddenly weak and having a hard time moving ? :(

    Inside the tank, along the back wall. He used to climb up on top of his rock background and sit underneath it (he actually used to jump up; I had to put up a ladder so he wouldn’t hurt himself trying to jump back down)

    Bearded dragon suddenly weak and having a hard time moving ? :(

    I bought a new UVB flourescent (reptisun T5HO 10.00) even though I had just replaced it 2 months prior, thinking it might be faulty. I also started giving him bugs one more day a week so that he gets more calcium (he wont take the powder on vegetables). My general vegetable diet is geared...

    Bearded dragon suddenly weak and having a hard time moving ? :(

    My bearded dragon very suddenly seems to have started losing strength, on and off. Some days he’s almost at 100% and walking well, just not jumping up on things like he used to; other days he can barely drag himself to where he wants to get to. He went in for a general check-up in November, as...

    Bringing beardie to the vet - what do I need?

    I’m taking Colonel Mustard in for his first check up (with me) soon. I’m unsure if he ever saw a vet with his previous owner and I know he was pretty misinformed about bearded dragons, so I just want to make sure he’s all good - nothing seems pressing don’t worry :) I just wanted to ask, how do...

    Portion size?

    I was just wondering what amount I should be feeding him a day? I would estimate he’s about 1 1/2 - 2 years old, so out of baby territory. I’ve just rehomed him last week from someone who didn’t really seem to have his best interest in mind, so I don’t have much info on him and his age/previous...

    An absolute plethora of questions from a first timer

    Hi! That was very helpful, thank you! As for your question, yes, that’s exactly what he’s supposed to do :> Adult beardies will become almost completely vegetarian, eating abt 80% veg, 20% bugs. Prioritizing giving them veggies is a good idea, considering they get their water from the food they...

    An absolute plethora of questions from a first timer

    Hi! This will be my first time as a reptile parent; and, admittedly, am sure to be a very nervous one(as well as a rambler; will try to be concise). Basically, this lizard is being rehomed to me over the course of one night. I’ve had a lot of experience with small animals (rats + the like), but...
