My beardie Sammy is just about 5 years old and she was fine up until about a week ago. Sammy is refusing food, greens and insects but is still drinking water, in fact seems thirsty all the time. At first I thought she might be going into brumation because she did at this time last year but she...

Sammy was just laying her third clutch of infertile eggs this year and at one point she stopped and didn't do anything. My husband looked underneath her and noticed an egg that she laid was hanging by something still stuck inside! While he was holding the egg she wiggled her rear and this other...

Would it be safe to give Sammy a little taste? I know she shouldn't have it all the time or probably not even occasionally but would a rare taste do any harm?

Whenever Sammy is gravid and I put her in the lay bin she'll start digging at the shallow end where there is hardly any sand. haha Then she'll find the deeper sand and start digging there but then she'll go back to the shallow end. This goes on for awhile until she gets situated and starts...

Is anyone's beardies acting psychotic? lol Sammy sure is, wants to run all over the place. Normally when she behaves like this she's gravid but she just laid eggs like a month ago. I guess it could be spring fever.

I've read beardies can eat oranges on occasion and read they shouldn't have them.

In the past she's laid in this http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x35/amyo101/Untitled113.jpg but I've recently bought her this so it will fit in her viv http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x35/amyo101/Untitled111.jpg I figure she can climb in and out at will and she's started to dig in it but...

Sammy started appearing gravid about 3 weeks ago. She would glass dance all day long and when I let her out she'd run all over. Suddenly about 4-5 days ago she just stopped glass dancing and started acting lethargic and one day she was really thirsty. Since then she has improved and is back to...

Sammy used to love being pet, picked up and handled and let out of her viv. She turned a year old in Sept. Shorty after she went into brumation and she's been out of brumation for about two weeks but her attitude has changed. She acts like she hates to be touched now and she never seems to want...

I think Sammy is brumating because as soon as the temp dropped she got real lethargic and sleeps all the time in her log hidy. However if we offer her live feeders she will still eat which I think is odd for brumation. She's not sleeping right now because I just gave her a bath trying to get her...

When Sammy is in her viv all she does is lay around either on her basking log or under it. Sometimes she here eyes open and sometimes closed but I don't think she is sleeping because she doesn't "cuddle up" like she does when it's her bed time. I will take her out and she gets a bit more active...

Monday Sammy slept through the whole day even with her UV and basking light on. Yesterday she was awake and active and seemed normal and now today she is sleeping through the day again. I'm not sure it's brumation because this behavior came on suddenly with no changes in behavior prior to...

Can brumation come on suddenly or is it usually gradual?

I've been taking Sammy out in the yard since it's been beautiful out but I'm concerned because she helps herself to the plants lol. Our yard is just grass and weeds with no chemicals but I'm afraid she will get a hold of a toxic plant or something. Yesterday she ate some crab grass and today she...

I discovered today that Sammy really really loves corn. How often is it okay to give to her?

I've noticed that Sammy has been spending more time than usual under her heat lamp and when I reach in to pet her the hot side doesn't feel as hot as usual. I checked the temp over there today and it's only 90 degrees.

So, Sammy has just gotten done with shedding which her behavior didn't really seem to change through that period but now it is changing. Over the course of the week she has slowed way down on eating. Today she only ate a few greens and that was it. She spends most of her time just laying under...

Sammy is the common yellow/brown beardie but I've also noticed her colors change sometimes. I know when she get black spots she is either cold or stressed. It seems when she is excited or happy her yellow will get very bright and there will be some orange around her eyes and on her beard...

The times I have seen Sammy jump to things I was pretty impressed but not so much today. I had her on the bed with me and she tried to jump from the bed to my bedside table which is about two feet away and a tad higher than the bed. (the bed is just on box springs so it's not that high of the...

I read about it here and saw the pics a few months ago (gladly) but I just saw Sammy do it first hand!! It's so weird looking and I'm glad I read what it is because I probably would have freaked when she just did that lol. Then she rubbed the side of her face on her stick because she's shedding haha
