So now you have the equivalent of a finicky cat in the form of a reptile. How is his poop now that green peppers are being withheld?

[Zoodulcis]

He is unique! Is the blindness a by-product of the kind of morph he is?

[Zoodulcis]

AB’s advice is right on. One way you can be sure about UV amounts is with a UVB meter. They aren’t cheap, with a bottom of the line model running about $50 bucks. But perhaps it’s worth it for peace of mind until a bulb positioning and placement routine is firmly established.

Proof positive he is not color-blind! Unlike some bloggers on the internet who recommend grapes BECAUSE they are high in oxalates, the reverse is actually true. Grapes are indeed high in oxalates, which binds calcium. As an occasional treat, they are fine, but should be fed once weekly at most.

Ah, reliable old Zilla. Thanks for sharing that.

He has his dragon face on in this photo. Nice close-up. Do you do much photography, or just this guy?

[Zoodulcis]

Pets seem to be so good at finding new ways to worry their humans. No chance his behavior could be due to mites, is there?

[Zoodulcis]

What made you want to get a beardie? Their adorableness or something else?

[Zoodulcis]

His costume made me think he was imitating the Loch Ness monster. How did you cure him of his impaction?

[Zoodulcis]

So he won’t eat any fruit or berries?

[Zoodulcis]

I bet you’re right! Be sure to keep the humidity a bit higher and keep an eye on his toes to make sure he has a safe and complete shed.

[Zoodulcis]

There is a list of recommended foods in the beardie care guide on the main Critter Depot site. Avoid greens high in oxalates like kale. What you are giving him now should do the job, though. Minus the peppers.

That sounds like it was a good call, hanging the light higher. Bear in mind that the amount of UV may be lessened the higher the bulb is. But a good compromise for now.

You guys have a great routine for your pet. What is the brand of spray on vitamins you use. I may want to acquire some.

[Zoodulcis]

Vitamin spray sounds so convenient! How do you provide calcium? Is Ironman a favorite superhero? I have a thing for Agent Phil Coulsen!! But don’t tell anyone 😉
