    R.I.P. Lotan

    My baby girl Lotan was getting skinnier and skinnier, despite my constant efforts to keep her healthy. I've even given her some extra waxworms and baby food now and then to see if it would help fatten her up, but nothing worked. She kept losing weight so fast, until she finally became too weak...

    Holy cow, it's been a while! Dragon updates.

    Wow, it has been ages since I have been on these forums! I was cleaning out my babies' vivs when I remembered this site and figured I should probably give a little update and become an active member once again. Oh, how I've missed you all! So for the update, all four of my babies are doing...

    Respiratory issue? Help!

    My female Lotan has been venting a LOT. Nearly every time I see her, her mouth is slightly open. Her temps are about the same as usual, fed as usual, bathed as usual. Could this be a respiratory issue? What would cause her to do this all of a sudden? She's been doing it for about 3 days now. I...

    Venting a LOT more than usual? Respiratory issue?

    So my girl Lotan has been venting a LOT. Nearly every time I see her, her mouth is slightly open. Her temps are about the same as usual, fed as usual, bathed as usual. Could this be a respiratory issue? :( What would cause her to do this all of a sudden? She's been doing it for about 2 1/2 days...

    I can't wait until summer!

    I always get so excited when warm weather rolls around so I can take my beardies back outside. I always bring my 2 adults wherever I go, and me and my fiance usually just bring our (once juvenile) now sub-adults out to the pool deck at his condo for some sun. Which reminds me, where do you guys...

    R.I.P. Koa

    My juvenile corn snake Koa passed away early this morning. He was having so much trouble eating and couldn't stop regurgitating his food. We tried everything from bettering his enclosure to changing the size of his mice and where we got them from, but nothing worked. He had a lump around his...

    Depression?

    So my girl Lotan has been acting what I can only describe as depressed. She's eating, pooping, basking, staying awake, but the whole time she basks, she flops over her basking spot with her head down and eyes half closed. She just mopes around. She'll be energetic when she eats, but then right...

    Beardie love. <3

    You know, when I was younger, I never though of myself as a reptile person. I always knew I was an animal person my whole life, but never really reptiles. I had/still have geckos, but that was it for a while. Then, I saw beardies. Initially, I just thought "I can own a cool looking dragon...

    Holding arm up instead of waving.

    So my 7 month old dragon Ziggy used to wave, but he stopped a few months ago. Now starting yesterday, he just holds his hand up. He doesn't wave, he just holds it up like if he's asking a question in a classroom. He will sometimes try to lift both arms at the same time too. He is about to shed...

    Another roach question

    I know dubias can be pretty pricey, but what's the best place to buy lower-priced but still good quality roaches in bulk? And preferably breeding pairs. Or is there even someone selling a colony or extra roaches? I am going to be starting up a dubia colony very soon. Thanks :mrgreen:

    Breeding Roaches?

    I know this is an extremely vague question,and I apologize in advance, but from a scale 1-10 (10 being the hardest) How difficult is it to breed dubias? Factor in everything from cost to time to money and all.Thanks so much! I'd love to hear opinions.

    Brumating?

    This is the second winter I've had these guys, and they're about a year and a half old. Ruki hasn't been eating much, sleeping a lot, and staying on her cool side for about a week and a half. She would sit in the same spot all day if I haven't moved her up to her basking spot a few times. Two...

    UV t8 fixtures

    We went and bought 2 Zilla UV tube fixtures for $40 each at Petsmart. I was pretty angry at how expensive they were. And those were only 18''! :bleick: So, we decided to go to Menards. Of course, there were what we wanted; 24'' and 36'' fixtures. $10 each! :shock: :blob5: I believe the brand...

    Sizing of fixtures?

    So I have two 20longs, one 30gal, and one 50gal for my beardies. I am ordering reptisun 10s, but I am worried that the fixture won't fit. I believe a 20long is 30 1/4 long, and the fixture is 30in. Will that fit correctly inside the wall of the tank? Is a 1/4in enough leeway for it? I don't want...

    Cricket outbreak?

    So I had a bag of about 250 crickets, and almost all of them got loose into my room somehow. :puke: Has this happened to anyone? How do I get rid of them? Do I just resort to a bug bomb? My cats are going insane trying to eat them, but of course they're too slow to get them. I have my room...

    Jables

    We rescued Jables from the pet store. He was deformed and extremely tiny. He never ate much and had trouble walking. He had badly deformed arms and his spine seemed a little crooked. He was becoming really alert, basking on his own and not running away from us. He never seemed to grow though...

    Throws up crickets only.

    Ziggy is about 8 inches. Temps are good, hes bathed regularly, housed on tile, all that. Currently not on UV due to having a coil. Every time he eats crickets, he throws them up barely digested. Only with crickets. Worms and roaches are ok. Does he have some kind of cricket intolerance? Is that...

    Opening mouth?

    Not sure if this should be cause for concern, but I noticed that if I run my finger across Lotan's lips, she opens her mouth like shes venting. I know shes not angry, and its not venting since she was in room temperature and not under a basking light for a while since I was feeding her outside...
