Reptiles make great pets for those with the proper mindset, and Bearded Dragons are among the most popular of those reptile pets. They are sturdy, just small enough, and eat simple, variant diets. With a lifespan of up to fifteen years, they can be a good long term pet, but only with the proper care and attention to the lifestyle and necessities of their diets.
I have a good uvb, looking for a good basking light.
Link please.
Thanks, Sj
For the basking light you can simply use regular household light bulbs. Many of us are doing that since we actually read the boxes on both and it appears that we were paying high dollar for the ones with the reptile pictures on them when regular bulbs do the same thing. You do have to experiment with the wattage to get the right temp. On my 55 and 75 gallons in the summer I run a 100 watt bulb and nothing at night unless the air cond. is on and it goes below 60 degrees which rarely happens. In the winter I have to up that as my house stays cooler.
My baby bearded dragon (1.5 months old) still has his eyes closed even after I turned off UVB. What’s wrong?
Even after I moved the UVB light he still had his eyes closed. I also removed him from his cage and placed him on the bed where he normally is crazy about all the different things to look at but he still had his eyes closed. I’m worried his eyes may be damaged already by the coil UVB lighting. What should I do? I’m really worried about Draco.
Is this a good price for a bearded dragon with a tank?
Do you think $450 is a good price for all this?
- 2 year old female bearded dragon
- 70 gallon tank
- tank lid
- tank stand
- desert background
- large exo-terra hide
- 24″ florescent UVB light
- UVB light hood
- 10″ clamp lamp
- 75W basking light
- food and water dish
- bag of bearded dragon bites
- container of alfalfa sprouts
- small cricket keeper
I’m the one selling this I live in Ontario, Canada, and I spent like $600 on everything. The tank was around $200 and then the stand and lid was separate, just the hood for the UVB light was $100, the dragon was $120, and that’s $420 right there, I don’t remember how much the stand and lid was but it definitely cost more than $30, and everything else adds up real quick.
he has not pooped in about 1 day and a half and i think its impaction, i have tried bathing him and using olive oil in a seringe, also tried unsweetened apple sauce, i have also changed his substraigh to paper towel please help
1 1/2 days is not enough to worry. impaction is over hyped and isn’t as common as people here on Yahoo want you to believe. and quit with the syringes. just leave it alone and let nature takes its course before you do some real damage to your lizard.
is it ok to feed your bearded dragon live pinkie mice?
becouse i dont no if he’ll get sick or somthing
You don’t need to give beardie’s this sort of food- crickets/worms- that sort of thing are as carnivorous as they should get. Get a snake if you want to feed mice to something. I know I’ll get a thumb’s down….’ meal worms cause MBD’…..’How irresponsible it is to advise someone to go and buy another pet on a whim…’
That’s not what I want.
