Dear sweetie girl, And so it begins...the first hours of my journey through life without you. My fondest wish was to accompany you to the other side, but Mommy has too much work to do here. By now your brother Harry will have found you. Perhaps you have already caught your first dragonfly. I...

My 3 month old is currently showing evidence of being both male and female. In that case, is there one that is dominant that will become more evident in time, or do I just have to wait a bit longer? When I got her she weighed 4 grams and looked like a male. Shortly thereafter, female. Once she...

Thanks for looking. Is ceftazidime/fortaz appropriate for nebulizer use for pneumonia? I highly respect my vet, but would like a second opinion since the drug I see prescribed most often is Baytril. Thanks!

I've read many posts about missing dragons. Answered a few, as well. Every possible place he could be has been checked three times, even upstairs, as he was eyeing the stairs from down below. I was listening to his little nails on the floor as I was on the phone. When I got off the phone, he had...

Welcome to the forum! I have a couple changes to suggest that will help your beardie. First, his food should be no bigger than the space between his eyes. Large crickets may be too big for him. Second, the UVB bulb you have for him is not the right one. Your pet store may have recommended it...

If I'm reading Denise Bushnell's article correctly, I am to turn the lights on daily, even if my boys are covered up in their hides? This is my first experience with brumation, and my 2 boys are sound asleep. I wake them once a week for a drink and probiotics. On my third read of her article...

Hi, I'm taking Cissy to the vet in about 20 minutes. Does anyone that's on now have any idea what the drug of choice is for treating mouth rot? Thanks! E

My year and a half old girl who has had health issues. just vomited a fair amount of clear liquid and now opens her mouth and gasps a big gulp of air every couple minutes. I am leaving to mee the vet in an hour. Is there anything I should do in the mean time? Thank you Edit; She has heaved a...

Hello all, I brought home a lovely 6 month old beardie today from a student who could not take care of him. He has a swollen eye to which I applied saline during his bath. I believe this to be the result of at least 4 months under a Zilla coil and a red bulb used at night. I got the goo out of...

Hello all, After re-reading this, I must apologize for the length of this post. I did try to be concise. :) My beardie, Fred, is a little over 7 months old. He came from a highly regarded breeder on this site at age 2 1/2 months. His info: 40 gal. breeder, grouted in tile Reptisun 10, 24", 2...

Two of my dragons are finishing their meds for coccidia and coccidia/pinworms. I have read that steaming is best for disinfecting their vivs, (grouted tile substrate) but I cannot find out how long I should steam each one. They are 40 gal. breeder tanks. Thanks so much for your time, Esther

Hi! Does a meal of baby food require the same digestion time as a meal of crickets/greens? Thank you and Happy New Year! Esther

This is probably a dumb question from an overly concerned mom, but here goes. Is it okay for my 4 month old Fred's basking place to be on his hammock? He loves it there! Thank you, Esther

My girl was having little motions in her belly tonight while swallowing (about 20 min after her supper.) Her mouth was not open, but the closest thing I could compare it to was a hiccup. Thank you!

My 40 gal tank has grouted in tile as a substrate. I would like to use a UTH for night-time warmth. There are already 2 lights sitting on the screen (UVB inside tank) and I would like to avoid a third light on top, if at all possible. Fred gets wrapped in his blankie burrito at night. Would the...

...if too much calcium damages the liver. Would someone please enlighten me? Thanks, Esther

My research indicates that the only vocalizing beardies do is to make a soft hissing sound when they feel threatened. That being said...my Cissy made a squeak and jumped the other night while she was sleeping. I figured she was dreaming. It was not the dogs I heard, because Cissy sleeps right...
