Top products from r/BeardedDragon

The heat lamp is fine but will probably blow rather quickly. I’d suggest that when I dose blow to get halogen flood lights from Walmart. They are normally 45 to 50 watts and in my experience heat much better and last longer.

The UVB bulb is a different story. Since it is focused on one spot it is not good. It can damage eyes from over exposure (the eyes are a very sensitive organ, which is why it’s to powerfully for eyes and not powerful enough in general) and it doesn’t emit enough uvb for a bearded dragon.

12 hours of artificial uvb equals about 2 hours of natural uvb. Beardie can be fine with this amount of uvb. However with a coil bulb if your dragon decides to hang on the cool side, they aren’t getting that 12 hours. One or two days of this won’t hurt but over time it can cause a medical disease called Metobolic Bine Disease. Which will basically turn bones into rubber.

this is the bulb you want

You’ll need a separate fixture for it. It can go intop if the screen because it’s t5 (Em It’s stronger UVB then t8s)

You can pick up and under the counter fixture met for led lights from Walmart or a hardware store or go with the fixture specifically met for reptiles. If you do the latter make sure the fixture you get is for the t5 bulb. T8 bulbs will not fit in t5 fixtures and vice versa.

> ivermectin wormer

That is an extremely harsh wormer well known to cause issues in dragons- Panacur is what was needed.
This is why you need a reptile vet.
Was a fecal even done to confirm pinworms?

Get yourself some Bene-Bac gel probiotic at any pet shop. Make sure your temperatures are warm enough- the surface of your basking spots should be 105-110ºF. Offer a very wide variety of food- moist things like black soldier fly larvae are very useful.
Then cross your fingers and try to get food into her- Carnivore Care would be good.

Are you feeding him in his enclosure or in a whole separate container?

Is he showing interest or just ignoring them all together?

I had some issues with my guy when I first got him. I was doing a separate container and it ended up being too much stress. I tried in his enclosure but he wasn’t quick enough to catch the Dubia’s before they crawl away and won’t eat from tweezers. I ended up getting one of these plastic plates and worked like a charm. He had time to check out the Dubia and eat it without it escaping into the enclosure.

Also you can find them so much cheaper at your local hardware store

I bought this: Ge light removed the plastic difuser and regular bulb and instaled the UV bulb, and it works... this is the cheapest fixture I was able to find at the time

I have never used that brand so I’m not sure. Here is a few links to the stuff that I use

This one is kind of expensive, if you look around you can find one cheap, I’m just using this one as an example. It’s the basic one that I see a lot of owners using.

Hey lizzie,

​

I dont see a UVB bulb on your enclosure, may be there just cant tell, but you will need to provide the beardie with this type of light setup along with a the basking light Here and here . These lights are to allow calcium to be broken down properly in there body. If this isnt here you can run into major issue with MBD (Metabolic bone disease) .

Your gonna need calcium and vitamins for the dragon also, dusting his food with it. I like to dust my reptiles food 2-3 times a week.

I have experience with a couple different types of reptiles so feel free to shoot me a pm with and Questions or concerns
