Unfortunately I do not have the first ones written out and I'm not sure anymore what that was 🙈 You don't need to take him out for a parasite test, you need a fecal and if he's already brumating he won't poop anyway.

That is what my vet tested for and he talked me through it afterwards. Surprisingly my boy had quite high uric acid (Harnsäure) levels last time and I had to put him on a diet. They always have parasites, the question is just how many. The fecal should be very cheap and it's always better to be...

Mine both did try to ear basically everything in the beginning. Even small stones but after they found out it's not eatable, they stopped and never tried again. A lot of people do not have fake plants in their tank for exactly what you are describing.

In most cases a vet will let you send in a fecal to be tested for parasites which I would preferably do before putting them into brumation. Personally I also want to bring them in for a checkup once a year and get a small blood test done. A few weeks after they wake from brumation and have been...

You would shorten the time for which the lights are on and drop the temps. Some even turn the lights off completely for a couple of weeks and let the temps drop to <20°C

Yes you should for sure start to monitor the temps. At the very least the basking spot and the ambient temps on the cool side. As mentioned, might be just a slowdown. You might want to consider letting her brumate this winter, though. It is really not that complicated and very beneficial for...

Happy birthday Foxy! He is so curious about the cake, like he knows it is for him :)

My big boy will also still sleep on my arm, he doesn't care that he has outgrown that by now ;)

This is one for the photo wall for sure. She is still a little nervous and wakes up at the slightest movement but yes, the bonding is going very good so far

The reptizoo is the one I use as well, should be fine.

The watts will correlate to the lenght of the bulb usually. The longer bulbs have more watts, the shorter will have less. You want a T5 (that is how thick the tube is) and a lenght that fits your tank

How old is she and has she been brumating in the past? Could in theorie be brumation but could also just be a slowdown phase

If you are in the US, your best bet is to get a tube style UVB (arcadia 12% or zoomed 10.0 HO) that spanns about 2/3 of your tank. If you are in the EU you probably have access to a mhb but I think they are hard to get elsewhere.

Lilith just gave me the wiggle and fell asleep in my hand. This will probably be really fun to look at in a few months time :)

Shed can cause almost anything 😂 My girl will puff up and bite, my boy will sleep all day, there really is no one rule that fits them all. No worries, everyone here is happy to share their own experiences and help out. Most of us are also paranoid about their beardies, which is probably the main...

A bit hard to see but looks like it is progressing :) Yeah they do weird stuff when they shed, my boy will turn really pale, then dark orange and the shed is actually not white but dark orange. The new scales under this will stay grey for a few days and then get back to his normal colors. My...

There would have been a short answer as well. It is common for them to take naps or go to bed early. My girl is almost 3 months old and went to bed at 6pm today. Yesterday she was up till lights out. My boy will also have days that he stays up even after the lights are out (not now though...

Not sure if every day is like this but I was working from home today so I'll describe today. 6am lights on 6:30 am I put Salad in the bowl 7am Luis goes basking 9ish he will climb down and start headbobbing randomly and climb stuff maybe sitting in one spot for 10 seconds at most 11:30am he...

Looks like she just doesn't really know what to do with the slippery surface and the water. Almost like she wants to dig. In general you don't need to bath her if she's nit dirty as it has very little benefits for her. If anything it poses some risks if she aspirates some water. Can you post a...

That's exactly it, it is even a bit less obvious in the photo. Some trans do have the solid black eyes though. I know one of Luis' brothers had them and the was quite a bit darker in red than him too. Luis does only show the brown eyes in the right light (mostly they look solid black).
