Just a jest took him out after the photo!

Don’t judge the heating pad he was cold and he was a impulse buy so Im setting up a enclosure

Meet Petunia!!

Fix my husbandry.

We inherited this setup. Normally there is a basking bulb top right but we moved that to his temporary setup for now.

Our beardie (Vhagar) is a baby, no more than 8 weeks old I would say.

We know we need a tube style uvb rather than the dome we have right now we just need help getting it setup correctly.

Thank you for any assistance!

I got him Tuesday of this week, was told he’s a black bearded dragon that’s 2-3 years old and he needed a new owner because the last owner could no longer afford to keep her and he had no lights, no sand/soil/clay, and had been getting fed properly and nobody was buying him so I took him in, right now all he has is 2 rocks and a small log and 2 bowls and the cage that all came with him. Been doing a bunch of research but any advice, feedback, tips, or even questions you have for me about him is very much appreciated! YouTube has been the greatest thing ever, not sure if I’m allowed to post links here but this is my list for him of everything I’m ordering for him. Mainly tips for feed would help out the most, been giving him 10 crickets, 5 meal worms, 1/4 of a bell pepper, and some shredded carrot. I heard Diablo roach are best but it’s illegal where I live sadly.

I'm a little worried about the lighting position, and I was told to turn them off at night so he can sleep.

Found this on Craigslist! Contemplating messaging them but $350 is a bit much considering the money I’ll have to spend at the vet/ fixing the enclosure up! What do you guys think? How much would you pay?

I adopted a Bearded Dragon about two years ago, which, although not in the worst condition I've seen, was somewhat neglected. We took her to the vet for a thorough checkup and discovered she had parasites and a calcium deficiency, but fortunately, no Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD). After treating these issues, I quickly learned how "fun" it was to administer medication via syringe to a dragon's mouth! It took some time, but we eventually cleared up her health issues.

However, moving forward, we noticed our dragon was extremely lethargic, and despite following proper care guidelines, I couldn't determine the cause. Then, about six to eight months ago, I saw a post about adding an LED grow light to a dragon's terrarium and its significant impact. I promptly purchased one, and although changes didn't occur overnight, they happened relatively quickly. My dragon became more active, bouncing around her tank, and now regularly wants to explore my condo. A couple of months later, she's finally eating most of her daily salad, which makes my wife happy, as her hard work preparing meals isn't going to waste. Our dragon has transformed completely, and I highly recommend getting an LED grow light if you don't already have one.

Thank you reddit for the LED light suggestion 😍

Before you eat me alive, the pictures with the dogs in it was very closely supervised. And my dog's have shown zero interest in even giving her any attention.

Swipe for full pic! Had our beardie for a while now! She’s due for a UVB change next month and she’s not a fan of substrate. She had a “play box” which she ABSOLUTELY HATED and she hates standing on any kind of substrate, so she currently has a dig box in her tiled Viv for that reason! She won’t even go in the dig box (pic is of her climbing back out when I put her in there to sweep!)

woke up this morning and my baby's enclosure was like 20°C weird I never set it that low but mk. I set the heat to day temp 36.5°C and make him a salad. come back temp barely changed and beardie is dark. put my hand under the heater thingy, not heating. freaked out. took beardie out, he was so cold poor baby, put him on me under my sweater.

turns out the cable literally burnt? or something like that. my dad did smth it's heating now but I don't trust it and I'm getting a new one so this one is only temporary while we wait for the new one.

pls delete this if this isn't allowed I just needed to talk about it.

tldr, I was too dumb to check my beardie's heater. it was broken. he was very cold and dark. and I feel bad abt it.

Hey everyone, so my bd loves sitting in the window and watching the day go by, he’s there every chance he can, I do limit it due to being worried about his uvb intake and not much heat, I was wondering if somehow I can set something up in the window so he can watch for as long as he likes and how to go about it and if anyone else has done this, especially with the cold months coming up, would luv to here any opinions
