I just got my first baby CWD a few weeks ago, he barely eats, like 2 mealworms every other day... I always offer him crickets and mealworms every day and leave mealworms in a dish for him but he just wont eat. I checked him for any infections and he was captive bred so I don't believe that there any parasites on him, any advice?
@jakestring98 well first he's probably getting used to his surrounding, so he isn't gonna eat GREAT yet. also how big is he? Do you have GOOD LIGHTING? Thats key to proper appetite stimulation, if you think he's not getting good light piut him outside in sun for an hour a day or so. if he's a baby maybe thats enough for him, but as long as he's eating thats ok.
@jduenas32 ok so i have a quistion 2 days ago i finally got my baby CWD yay but like she keeps jumping at the glass over and over again after a wile she will stop but then after a wile she will just do it again. also this morning i was peting her wile she was in her cage but when i started to bring her out to pet her and sit down she jumped to try to get out but i was able to cach her and put her back i dont want anything to happen to her also could it be that she is still getting used to it
Most Cwd have those bumps right there it shows sex like Aragon is a male and most (not all) but most males have those bumps right there so yes he might have mbd but those bumps don't necisaraly mean that's mbd
oh by the way check out melissa kaplan or anapsid.com her website is amazing and she has been studying reptiles and other animals forever thanks for this video! now im going to build my chinese water dragon an outdoor cage with my christmas money
I have a 2 year old CWD, Scout, got him when he was 6 months. A few weeks after I got him I learned about MBD the hard way. He lost all the nails on 1 hand and a finger. I got him a UVB, STRICT calcium diet and since then hes done so well and is the prize of my herp collection.
Hi I just got a Chinese water dragon and he is a baby he lives in a 30 gallon terrarium and looks very happy. I provide calcium in his cage and put his mealworms in calcium. I don't know if I have UVB lighting it is 2 lamps with a blue light bulb is that ok he gets good heat around 80-90 degrees. He doesn't move often he just climbs up to the top of a branch and sits there. He doesn't squirm while being held either he is very nice. Can anyone please respond back to me for advice?
Hi I have a small 4-5 month old bearded dragon who has reallyyyyyyyyy bad mbd his back has 2 huge lumps and is cricked also his stomach is really hard if I can't press in to it cause it's really hard. I'm so confused I don't know what's wrong with and cant afford to take him to the vet he was left behind by his owners because he was really sick. he does eat alottt of crickets though is that a good sign?
i have a green basilisk, and i have had him for about a year now so he has grown qwite a bit! i noticed when he was smaller he had bumps near the tail like your i asked about it, the petstore owner told me it was just cuz it was a lil skinny, and it being one of my first reptiles i believed it! lets get back to the topic here... i have a the recomended bulb used by " zilla " will the bumps go away or does it mean it still has MBD??? I also dust its food with zoo meds " reti calcium " thanks :)

cool vid. Does the mega-ray produce UVB and UVA? I rescued an adult male Water Dragon about a month and a half ago, and he has SEVERE MBD. My vet took one look at him and just said "oh my gawd." Hes under a Zilla tube UVB light, but I want something a little stronger. Someone recommended the Exo Terra Solar Glo, but Im hearing mixed reviews.
Hey i know this isnt relivent to ur video but is ur tank custom made cause im from N.I and we realy dont have as much reptile specialists or vets so i hand it hard to find a good tank my waterdragon is 6 years old and is getting to big for his cage
mega ray is just that brand of bulb. there many companies that make the mercury vapour bulb. thats the best bulb u can buy. they are around 70$ canadian and there the ONLY light tha produces uva and uvb n heat. u can run just a mercury vapour bulb in your tank they dont need to be combined with any other light.they dont produce muscle tone.... but they help with digestioin , energy boost. theywill get greener . these lights run much hotter the normal not recomened for anything under 100gl maybe
i asked my vet about this mbd bump crap when i had to take mine in and they said they arent related at all. they also said there absolutly no way for them to tell if he has mbd unless i have a full body x ray/ and thats after i had alrdy gotten an x ray ...but didnt telll me it was just head shot till after ..
@bananers114 Yes you can without a problem mate... make sure the cage is big enough and that both are around 1 year old before housing them togheter, I've been doing it for a year now with a 3 yo iguana and a 1yo water dragon... But you should be experienced with both species so you can adjust your cage the way both animals can be comfortable, watch my video on iguana housing and care and CWD housing and care I explain it further in there =p
hey, i noticed your humidity at 41% in the tank. it's recommended to keep the humidity for water dragons at around 80%, even with the water. misting their tank everyday should help keep the humidity up
I hate it when reptiles get sick when u can clearly see that the owner loves their herp so much...like your lizard has such a nice nice nice tank and u are taking the proper steps to help your herp. good luck
are the exo terra solar glo's really that bad, i cant go out and spend alot of money as of now, so i was thinking of getting just a linear uvb light, since i have heat lamps, but i saw the exo terra MVB and thought they look good?
@jduenas32 im starting to think that building one with my brothers would be cheaper. its almost $700 for a 6x3x2ft. cage!, did you have your custom ordered and how much was it?
great vid man, I now confirmed my fear that my water dragon has MBD, same bumps where yours is, but slightly larger, he's 5 years old and still going strong, I feed him calcium and vitamin powdered crickets and have 2 UV bulbs. I will look into the Mega Ray bulbs you speak of!
can they die from this and mine hase a kinda large and hard bumb all around his left leg and he has mbd and its not all the way around just a part please respond im begging so he doesnt die and will the vet help him and he is about 4 months old
@leos4life21 Well proper lighting and calcium supplemention is highly importANT. Put outside for an hour a day. Should get better over time. Also the vet will be able to help you as well.
My Blue tongue skink has MBD too. When I bought him me and my siblings noticed a dip in where his tail starts, then I found out it's MBD. Feeding him calcium covered crickets seemed to do the trick and I later bought him a UVB bulb, pretty much preventing it from getting more severe.
@thredddd Gimme example? Also alot has to do with lighting, it stimulates appetite and activity. if its like 80 or so degrees outside put him in sun for an hour it should help.
Ok thanks! Ive got Same lizard and same terrarium as yours. Ive just heard of these bulbs burning lizards thats all. But obviously works because you have showed that! So the cwd doesnt get all the uvb it requires from the compact bulbs? What do you think of the exo terra solar glo?
@longshawt Hmm. Well its cool. Seeing him grow for 2 years. Hes a lil over 24 inches and i got him at about 13 inches. So its cool. Plus Ive had fun doin the setups and stuff. Its a fun hobby
Dude, I've posted on another of your vids, I love mega-rays! have boxes of them lol! However, repti-sun 5 & iguana light florescent tubes are still the best way to get that UVB (spectrometer tested) without having to put out heat. keep that in mind as certain herps (jacksons chameleons for example) will not benefit as much from an mvb as they wilt in heat. So do live plants, and i use live. just don't discredit the TUBES from ZooMed (blame the overpriced pet store). ExoTerra bulbs r inferior
have you tried arcadia i think they are pretty good. but if i was you i would still be concerned on how much uv they are getting as that screen top will filter it and how far the light is away.
@stroudy63 no man, these are seriously way better than commercial mercury vapors. if he has the LOW UV model (which is what i have success with wd's and chameleons, but i use mostly tubes on my chams) then he might be concerned, but that screen is meant to let the light from the crappy exos. it's not too tight and it's not black like those zipcages. u don't want to get these too close, i used the arcadia in the late nineties, but im all mray and repti-sun now baby and lovin it!
Thats cool. But as you can see i have almost all exoterra stuff so I wouldnt knock them. But with a uvb meter the exo bulbs are prob thhe worst out there. Almost non functioning. Im not knockin them but i switched for a reason. Check it out you will see :)
I did before. BUt in this video I switched to the MEGARAY uvb bulb and flouresent bulbs. The repti glos kinda sucked and led to the slight case of MBD.
that is one bad ass cage my friend. i just got a bearded dragon!!

@thredddd Gimme example? Also alot has to do with lighting, it stimulates appetite and activity. if its like 80 or so degrees outside put him in sun for an hour it should help.

Ok thanks! Ive got Same lizard and same terrarium as yours. Ive just heard of these bulbs burning lizards thats all. But obviously works because you have showed that! So the cwd doesnt get all the uvb it requires from the compact bulbs? What do you think of the exo terra solar glo?

@scottyn87 They are ok. But the megaray is the best. It gives off the most uvb. But the best is like one hour of sunlight directly

what watt is the bulb dude? do they come in different uv ratings? thanks!
scottyn87 1 year ago
@scottyn87 Mine is 100watt. But get one according to your needs. Check thier website for more wattages and info (in my info box)

@longshawt Hmm. Well its cool. Seeing him grow for 2 years. Hes a lil over 24 inches and i got him at about 13 inches. So its cool. Plus Ive had fun doin the setups and stuff. Its a fun hobby

glass doesn't allow uvb in at all.
imabadspeler 1 year ago
@imabadspeler Yes it does. JUst not alot. Plastic allows almost ZERO.
jduenas32 1 year ago
@jduenas32 This is crap... Glass or plastic both don't allow uv rays... If you want uv from sun buy or build a flexarium...

@Baktiridion Oh ok genius. What in a green house? OHMYGOSH!!!! Thats right GLASS!!! UH DUH!!!!!
jduenas32 1 year ago

@Baktiridion Doesnt matter anyway. if you listened to my video you will know it is thru a screen anyway. so arguement solved.

Dude, I've posted on another of your vids, I love mega-rays! have boxes of them lol! However, repti-sun 5 & iguana light florescent tubes are still the best way to get that UVB (spectrometer tested) without having to put out heat. keep that in mind as certain herps (jacksons chameleons for example) will not benefit as much from an mvb as they wilt in heat. So do live plants, and i use live. just don't discredit the TUBES from ZooMed (blame the overpriced pet store). ExoTerra bulbs r inferior

sorry didn't mean it as a dig just you spend all that money on a light and don't get the full benifit from it. But must admit they are nice dragons

No biggie. Dude I had the EXO ones and these are way better. Some peeps put it on pastic covers which completelty defeat the purpose

have you tried arcadia i think they are pretty good. but if i was you i would still be concerned on how much uv they are getting as that screen top will filter it and how far the light is away.
stroudy63 2 years ago
I did I actually talked about the screen and also the distance for the light in the video
jduenas32 2 years ago
@stroudy63 no man, these are seriously way better than commercial mercury vapors. if he has the LOW UV model (which is what i have success with wd's and chameleons, but i use mostly tubes on my chams) then he might be concerned, but that screen is meant to let the light from the crappy exos. it's not too tight and it's not black like those zipcages. u don't want to get these too close, i used the arcadia in the late nineties, but im all mray and repti-sun now baby and lovin it!

im sorry but, exo terra bulbs for uvb are probably the best uvb bulbs i have ever had for my terrariums.
battleaxe903 2 years ago
Thats cool. But as you can see i have almost all exoterra stuff so I wouldnt knock them. But with a uvb meter the exo bulbs are prob thhe worst out there. Almost non functioning. Im not knockin them but i switched for a reason. Check it out you will see :)
jduenas32 2 years ago
Do those floresents give off uvb light?
illistdudealive200 2 years ago
NO they don't the MEGARAY bulb does tho
jduenas32 2 years ago
Repti-Glo gives off uvb..
bxwarrior011 2 years ago
I'm not using reptiglo tho. BUt yes reptiglo does give off uvb
jduenas32 2 years ago
oh, I thought you were using the repti-glos. My bad.
bxwarrior011 2 years ago
I did before. BUt in this video I switched to the MEGARAY uvb bulb and flouresent bulbs. The repti glos kinda sucked and led to the slight case of MBD.
