I accidentally dropped a q-tip on the floor while Henry was out and he immediately tried to eat it. I got away from him, but he pulled off and swallowed a little bit of cotton from the end. The box says the swabs are 100% cotton, so I'm not too worried that he'll be poisoned or something (but...

Henry's trick If I open Henry's enclosure when he's looking out and I kneel next to it, he always jumps out onto my shoulder.

Henry (8 months) always wants to be on my shoulder. If I hold him in my hands, he will turn around and jump on my shoulder. If I open his tank and kneel next to it, he will jump out onto my shoulder. If I hold my arm out to him, he will get on and climb up onto my shoulder. If I remove him from...

Hello! Here is Henry. He is the fourth bearded dragon I have had. He hatched May 15 2021 and I got him August 23. He loves leaping, sitting in his hammock, and perching on my shoulder (if I open his enclosure and kneel next to it, he will jump onto my shoulder). Here are some baby pictures and...

Henry's knuckles seem more articulated than other beardies I've had/seen and I am wondering if this is normal or an early sign of MBD. He doesn't have any other signs--jaw, spine, and tail look normal. He is seven months old and 390 grams. I looked back through older pictures and the fingers are...

My five-month-old beardie Henry is in a 40 gallon terrarium. I want to upgrade him to a 70 or 80 gallon this winter. Who makes good ones? Do you have one you love?

Hello! I know there have been other threads on this, but I'm not finding them very well--the site formatting is looking weird on my computer right now. I want to learn more about normal sizes and growth rates for babies who are several months old. Henry is almost five months (hatch date...

I'm wondering if it is normal sometimes for babies to have what look like stress marks on their bellies when they are not stressed. Henry is 3.5 months old and I got him 11 days ago. His belly marks get lighter/fainter sometimes, but they are always present. He doesn't show any other signs of...

Hello! I got baby Henry last Wednesday. He is a little over three months old and a great eater. I'm following the guidelines about how much to feed babies (as many bugs as they'll eat in ten minutes a couple times a day, as much salad as they want which probably won't be much), but I just wonder...

I have a new baby arriving next week from a breeder and am setting up his enclosure. My previous bearded dragons were all "regular" morphs--not bred for color--but this guy is a very light-colored hypo. I saw one source that said hypos, and other pale beardies like zeros, should have less UVB...

I want to get some silkworms and hornworms for my beardie but do not know who is a reputable source to buy from. Do you have recommendations? I am in the US.

Norbert is four years old, confirmed female, and has never laid eggs. Normally she is very calm--not super active in her enclosure, mellow when handled--and has a good appetite. But the last couple days, she has become extremely active and restless and her appetite has dropped off suddenly and...

For a few days now, I've been noticing a little twitch on Norbert. It's in a tiny spot on the right side of the base of her tail, and a little bit of the back of her thigh where it meets her tail. It seems to be triggered by me touching her back legs (something she's never had a problem with...

I am on a quest to find exercise my bearded dragon, Norbert, is actually willing to do. I took her to the vet (a reptile specialist) in October, a year after she had successful surgery to remove a tumor from her liver, and after examining her and doing blood tests, he said she was very healthy...

Norbert is three years old and is a tough little survivor of various liver woes--she had surgery to remove a tumor from her liver last year, and the surgery also uncovered fatty liver disease. She recovered well and has been acting healthy in the year since, but I recently took her to a new vet...

I let Norbert run around on the floor often and I have always been very careful to pay attention to where she is. But today I failed, and stepped on her back. I don't think I put my full weight on her, and she was on thick carpet, but I was wearing shoes. When I panicked and picked her up, she...

Norbert has a messed-up liver. Part 1 of this story (including husbandry information) is here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=237287 I went back to the vet and asked for an ultrasound and blood panel. Blood tests looked pretty normal, but ultrasound showed a large, solid mass attached to her liver, as I...

Posting here because I already went to the vet and don't trust his reassurances - Norbert (female, age two and a half) has a hardish lump in her upper abdomen, just below her rib cage. Having looked up some bearded dragon anatomy pictures, I think it's around where her liver is. I first...

I think Norbert may be developing a respiratory infection, and am wondering about details wrt the best course of action. Yesterday when she had been eating and was breathing hard, I could hear her breathing a little bit, which worried me, though it sounded clear and not mucousy. Today, in the...

Norbert is a two-year-old beardie, who, after some rough patches with intestinal parasites and eating problems as a baby, has been very healthy for the last year and a half. The last week or so, she has been exceptionally lively--glass dancing and leaping around. I think she knows it's summer...
