I wouldn't recommend anything made for human use on bearded dragons, small animal shampoo works well but a soft brush should be all that's required for this :) just make sure its soft and brush in the direction the scales go

I wouldn't ever do that with my dragon, you have to take into consideration every hour he/she spends outside the viv is another hour without the benefits of heat and UV :) think about all the money spent on making the enclosure perfect it defeats the object if the beardie can run free all day. I...

I think the idea of permits for reptile owners is amazing. It takes a special, dedicated person to own a bearded dragon i think a permit would make them truly understand the importance of proper care and make them think deeper about the responsibility. There are far to many kids in my area that...

It is amazing news after all she's been through its nice to know no damage has been done! she's the love of my life :) she means the world to me i wouldn't sell her for any amount of money.

Hi everyone! I took Willow to the herp vet the other day for a full exam and the vet did a fecal exam as well as a check-up and in-depth question and answer session on her past. He gave her stomach a good feel and determined she isn't carrying any eggs that he could notice and that what i felt...

I have a gel type ice/heat pack that can be microwaved i think i might use that when i take her :) today she ate 15 waxworms! out of nowhere my sister offered her them and she snapped them up :o it was amazing! AND i weighed her, she was 284 grams before this whole experience and she's now 277...

Still nothing guys, she's not eating but she's actually gaining weight! she will lick baby food and i'm still giving her liquid calcium, she's active and appears healthy! I'm trying to organise a vet visit for next week but i'm not sure what they are likely to tell me :/ the weather here is...

I think the time is very close. I made a "hollow" under two pieces of bark for more privacy. Unfortunatley everyone left the house between 7-8 am this morning :( i left her some fresh greens, waxworms and i drip fed her some diluted liquid calcium before i left. When i came home at 4:30 she was...

The liquid calcium has arrived today! 2 drops per 1fl oz is what is recommended on the instructions but i will contact Tracie for special instructions. I agree with you, she feels very exposed in her plastic box but she was digging under her bark today! she doesn't like being watched and i...

I will take her to the vet if there is still no sign in a few days :) they feel like M&M size little balls in her stomach. I think because she's stunted and hasn't had a consistent amount of calcium and D3 absorption throughout her life she's struggling. I'm thinking i will probably take her to...

No eggs today, she's gone quieter now she's not really scratching anymore. She just sits and basks for the most part of the day until i put her in her lay box, she'll sit there for a few minutes then jump out. My sister and i swear we felt eggs in her stomach sides yesterday though

No problem :) i'm so glad i have someone to share this with its very reassuring. No activity since i posted this morning, she is exhausted from all the scratching and scrabbling this morning she's sat in the same spot since around 1pm (its almost 4pm now) and hasn't moved much just closing her...

UPDATE: I've moved her lay box closer to the heat bulb and some progress is being made, she's spending quite a lot of time in there now and not attempting to jump out so much, she's only scratching at the sides no digging behaviour yet. I think she's trying to get used to it because its a...

no eggs today :( she's settled down and gone to sleep for the night now, maybe tomorrow will be the day

When it arrives I will PM Tracie to make sure i dose her correctly :) i'm not good with things like that so an experts advice is always welcome! she is 15 inches long and i presume around 250 grams now after her weight loss, someone will always be home to feed her and meet her requirements post...

*I also think i need to make the lay box much deeper but the only thing i have left (i've used all the sand) is soft soil, can i mix the two together and make it damp? so it still holds its shape? and i just bought this, it probably won't be here in time before she lays but it should help her...

I will give it a try! i can't really move her out of her viv as it isn't really suitable in this living space to have another setup with heating etc (i still live at home) so the lay box will have to be placed inside. She's incredibly stunted for her age (because of her previous owner) she only...

Thankyou for confirming my suspicions about her laying. I'm trying to do everything i can to make her comfortable, i have a tub (I'll take a picture and post it tomorrow its lights out now) that i'm using as her lay box, its only as long as she is :/ so she can just about comfortably turn, i...

I have, i check it using an infrared thermometer, basking temps (right under the light) are 100, the hot side stays roughly between 85-90 and the coolest part of her viv is 75. I'm using a 75watt spot lamp at the moment, the distance between the light fixture and the bottom of the viv is about...

i got it from my local pet shop :) its actually meant for small animals not reptiles! she loves it though :D
