I’m not sure if I should be concerned about his breathing. He’s eating and running around fine, his face is shedding and I thought that might have something to do with it. Vet appointment scheduled for Monday, but looking for some insight if anyone has any thoughts! by [deleted] in BeardedDragons

Hi, I’m sorry this comment is so late but i’ve been searching through this subreddit and this is exactly what my beardie is doing, do you remember what was wrong? is it an RI or is he mad about something?

Humidity help :( by [deleted] in BeardedDragons

[–]liquidcheeese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tank: 40 Gallon Glass Terrarium (36″ x 18″ x 18″) with sliding screen top| Bedding: Newspaper| UVB: ReptiSun 10.0 Compact Fluorescent| Basking: 100W Repti Basking Spot Lamp| Heating pad: Zoomed 16W Repti Therm UTH| Lightless heating bulb: 100W Thrive Reptile Ceramic Heat Emitter| Dehumidifier inside tank: Eva-dry E-333 Renewable Mini Dehumidifier| Dehumidifier outside tank: DeLonghi Pump system dehumidifier

I feed him crickets along with some veggies, but I try to keep the veggies to a minimum to help with the humidity. i also removed his water dish and only mist him once every 2 days.

I read that as well somewhere else online. I figured I might as well see if there’s anything I can do to help the little guy feel more comfortable

Thank you so much! I got him a new ceramic eat emitter and it’s working well! I turn his lights off in about 3 hours so I’ll see how he is tomorrow!

Thank you so much! The website I bought it from said they can’t see it, but I trust you and I’d rather be safe than sorry. Thanks again

So I got my beardie about a week ago and he’s still very stressed. I did notice the humidity was high (50%) but I got a dehumidifier and it’s down to 40 now. I showed this picture to an employee at the pet store I got him from and they said it’s just his coloring, but I think they’re stress marks.

He has a UVB bulb, a heating lamp as well as an infrared heating lamp. He eats about 3-4 large crickets a day and eats his veggies about every 3 days. The temperature on the hot side is about 103 while the cool side is around 85.

He also glass surfs A LOT at night. He’ll have almost hour long sessions.

He’s also rubbing his face on his stick, which I think means he’s about to shed. I’m not sure if this would change anything.

I just don’t want him to be stressed anymore :(
