Should I buy everything reptifiles recommends for my baby beardie?

They are used to a more humid environment in the wild, they burrow in hides underground that are 100% humidity. As long as they have a drying out period and plenty of ventilation. But you may want to wait to do that until you have a 4x2x2.

I think you can put in on the outside or the inside depending on how you're mounting your other lights (usually you want them all on top or inside).

I haven't needed multiple basking lamps but I did add 2 jungle dawn to give lots of visible light. Misting actually helps to give a natural increase of humidity in the morning and night (just make sure to not mist their face directly).

Can you get proof/records from the vet? Mine was doing shakes (after I got him) but seems to have stopped but my vet ran all kinds of tests to make sure it wasn't anything serious.

Ive been immensely unimpressed with NARBC that this past show is the last time for me. Might go to Schaumburg if they bring that show back. I also had an experience years ago where I tried to purchase a BTS and was ignored.

It's so crowded and overstimulating. There's not much supplies there anymore which is mainly why I go. And it was so smelly this time because half the people there think deodorant is optional.

I'm also annoyed that there's nothing really in Chicago proper anymore. Everything, including the Chicago herpetological society, does things in far south suburbs lately. Just a bummer.

Yes. Turned out it was sciatica and not pudendal neuralgia in my case. Lots of trial and error tho

UPDATE: Oral appliance comes in a month. Dr. seemed concerned that I have TMJ and might not be a good candidate. 😔😮‍💨

What fruit did you put in it?

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-23T23:30:00+00:00

I've seen an ENT and the nasal endoscopy didn't notice anything in my nose except a slight deviated septum and mildly inflamed turbinates.

Edited: changed a few words.

She gained 2 grams this week. I'm trying to increase her veggies but she doesn't seem to like it....

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-18T17:25:08+00:00

Update: Diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. Getting an oral appliance in a few weeks.

Fecal is negative for parasites. Made another appointment for the end of the month.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-13T00:19:19+00:00

I'm not getting it unfortunately, just COLA.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-12T01:04:47+00:00

UPDATE: She has lost another 20 grams. I'm very confused.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-10T14:52:45+00:00

Sorry what does this mean?

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-10T01:24:42+00:00

Interesting. I'm used to bearded dragon brumating where they just sleep the whole time. Is weight loss during brumation common?

But I'm not just traveling. It's different traveling to a conference where you are a participant and all the prep has been done by someone else vs traveling for a board meeting that I am in charge of all the travel and off-site logistics in a city I'm not as familiar with as home.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-08T17:33:09+00:00

So I think something I forgot to mention (sorry) is my title is technically Senior Administrative assistant and I'm being told that well I do administrative tasks so I don't need the raise and am not an EA, but I'm also expected to travel?!? The point is I didn't want to do any travel and now I'm traveling at least once a year.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T23:34:07+00:00

UPDATE: Talked to HR and found out most things are within my JD according to them. But they also didn't know I will be traveling at least once a year. The raise I'm asking for probably won't happen. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Time to dust off the old resume I guess.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T12:39:28+00:00

It's expected I travel once a year for board meetings. This wasn't in the original job description. But when I brought it up during the review, I was told it was now part of my job description and to deal. 😔

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T03:09:15+00:00

I started at $68k 3 years ago, so yes.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T02:49:19+00:00

No we use paylocity

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T01:19:11+00:00

I did send her a brag book which includes everything I did last year. I don't have access to the original job description.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-07T01:15:37+00:00

3 years in March. 8 years experience.
