Thanks Ales for the reply ... at least now I am a bit more comfortable.
@Bernice , I hope mine doesn't do the same .. he already drools a lot - i cant imagine that on a larger scale..

Hi Guys , Thanks for the responses. The only reason I would want to get rid of them if they will cause a potential problem. I have heard of cats/dogs being poisoned by toads , i am concerned about the other animals that share the same space. I am happy to let them be (my plan is to create a small ec...

Hi All , Recently built a pond and have 2 new guests. I am unsure if i need to get rid of them or let them be. Both frogs/toads are similar in size and the coloration is the same. Did some research and the closest ID I can derive is "Eastern Olive Toad". Please shed some light. Apologies f...

Hi luvdragon ,

good looking bd you have there..
Phoenix worms are almost impossible to get.
Good to start them on veggies/herbs asap , I started mine at around 4 months.

Hi ,

no expert ... but could be brumation. I had the similar issue : viewtopic.php?f=69&t=31323

Hi , Its strange that no one replied to your post. Anyway , here's my 2 cents.. 1. Your cage is abit too big (in my opinion) especially for a baby. Is you dragon able to find the food ? 2. The temperature for the basking spot should be measured at the level of your bd .. but your bd would move aroun...

I use Wild On Pets , Edenvale .. their cages are always neat and I never had a problem there.

Hi , Im no expert but I do have a BD .. they shed frequently whilst growing , almost monthly. The patches im not sure off but my BD used to have them alot , especially after a shed. It looks as if its showing off with his new skin. If he is eating and active then in my opinion he should be fine. @pr...

Hi , I have used only moonlight bulbs. They work great and there is not much "light" output. I have also been through a few of these lights as the "cheaper versions" die off quickly (I replaced 2 within a month). But after I bought the exo terra 50w moonlight I have not had a pro...

Hi , To the people who is following this or having similar queries regarding BRUMATION !!!... a quick update on Spike . Ok , so it has been 5 months since Spike is brumating :shock: ... its quite nerve wrecking. So he awakes atlease once a week ... just to bask abit and a quick chow here and there. ...

Hi Eddy ,

Great post. Very informative. Have a speedy recovery.

Hi fredsmith , Seems to be a mis-understanding , by "no uv" , I mean't that it is switched off. I dont see the point of having it on because while inside his hide , there is no light , except for the entrance , abit of his tail and the crevice where he is visible in the pic above. The hide...

Hi , It has been a few weeks now since Spike is asleep, 6 to be precise. He is fast asleep.Wakes up (with a fright sometimes) when I open his viv. So a friend of a friend who breeds and keeps bd's says i should let him be , especially when he is sooo fast asleep.His basking light is on 10 hrs a day ...

Hi , I have changed the basking lamp to a 40W (Previously a 60W). The basking spot temp has dropped to 28-30 Deg C and cool side to 20-22 Deg C , this has made no significant change to behavior. The vet passed Spike as healthy and in good condition. He also suggested that because he was born early i...

Hi NewTZ , Thanks for your responce. Good news is he pooped last night and alot too. So I'm happy about that. I have changed the light bulb to a 40w , temps have dropped a few degrees. I also read somewhere (internet) that a bearded dragon can brumate at any time of the year , obviously depending on...
