My Zoomed T8 was $100 here in Washington, thank you for sharing the Pangea link. They are much cheaper for a T5. Nice!

if you order the T 5 please post back on here I will help you get it properly placed distance and placement is different from the T 8

Will do. We will be getting one when we get the bigger enclosure.

Going to have a vet tech look at your post - will get back w/ you

Our beardie was badly impacted as a youngster. At that time we had him on sand as the pet shop advised us to do so. Unfortunately 9 years down the line we have to bathe him in pretty warm water every week so as he will poop otherwise he could end up really ill as he can't poop without this.

Currently at the vet. Doing an ultrasound on my beardie. She hasn’t pooped in like 2 weeks. Dr thinks could either be impacted or follicular stasis. Anyone have any experience with this?? He said if it’s the follicular thing they might have to spay her. Single parent here with low budgets so I’m hoping I don’t have to dry out my wallet

Just saw this post as I haven't logged in for a while. One of my beardies had gone for 3 weeks w/o pooping. At the vet, after he was examining (massaging) her belly, he put her back down and almost immediately, she pooped.
Then, she proceeded to go another couple weeks before pooping again. Been regular ever since.
Regarding pinworms, if that is the parasite your vet says she has, my vet, a reptile specialist, says pinworms in reptiles are a fact of life. When I googled pinworms, the info i found reiterated that they are regarded as non-pathenogenic. In other words, they don't usually cause problems. Also, they are very species specific.
Other than that, one person keeps referring to an infection. It's not an infection.
Just wanted to offer my thoughts as I experienced this with one of my beardies.

My vet is treating for pinworms too so is there such a thing as overgrowth maybe? Like in humans there are bacteria that are normal in small amounts but considered pathogenic in large amounts. In my case I was told mine has high counts of pinworm plus 2 types of parasites.
