What this sheet is for

Keep the daily record for a species where the commonest serious illness comes directly from husbandry figures being wrong.

Who it is for

Bearded dragon keepers, from a first dragon to a collection.

How to use it

  1. Write your target temperatures and supplement routine at the top, with their source.
  2. Weigh weekly and record it.
  3. Check UVB position and age, not just that the lamp is on.
  4. Record supplements given — the schedule is easy to lose track of.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Feeding, supplements, weight, basking readings and brumation — the things that go wrong slowly.

Get the figures from a vet, not a printable. No temperatures, UVB figures, supplement schedules or feeding quantities are printed. Metabolic bone disease is the commonest avoidable illness in this species and it comes from exactly these figures being wrong. Get them from an exotics vet or a species-specific guide and write them at the top.

Write-on lines: Name · Age · Acquired · Targets and their source

Table, 11 rows: Date · Weight · Basking temp · Cool end · UVB checked · Live food · Greens · Supplement given · Toileted · Behaviour

Ruled lines: Brumation, shedding, vet visits and anything unusual

Questions

What temperatures and supplements does a bearded dragon need?

The sheet prints none, deliberately. Metabolic bone disease is common in this species and it comes from exactly these figures being wrong or the UVB being inadequate. Get them from an exotics vet or a species-specific guide and write them in the header.

Should my dragon brumate?

That is a veterinary question that depends on the individual animal's age, weight and health. Record what happens; do not follow a generic schedule.
