Oscar has been basically brumating for over a month now. He did get up a few times, but now is sleeping, most likely, for the winter. Calypso is heading in that direction. sigh.. No beardies to play with for a few months now. Are your dragons sleeping?

Saw this ad on craigslist for baby dragons for $10 in Ladson, SC. They apparently had two clutches hatch and needing homes for them. http://charleston.craigslist.org/pet/1277508115.html

I plan to redo Oscar's enclosure soon. I will be getting one of those aquarium backgrounds for the back of his (wood, not glass tank). I can't seem to figure out what would be best to use to put the background up. I think of the heat in there, fumes etc. Any suggestions? Would double sided...

When I first put Calypso on the powersun mvb, she did ok. The first few days were ok, then she started closing one eye. This only lasted a few days. Then I rearranged her enclosure and added a branch. She ignored the branch for a few weeks. Now she only lays on the branch, which happens to...

Wasn't exactly sure where to put this post. Since it does have some general things I thought I would put this here. ;) I wanted my second beardie to be a yellow one. I had planned on seeking a good breeder etc. (But) My dh and daughter were disappointed that I didn't bring a baby home from...

Happy birthday to Oscar. ;) When we first got him at 3 months old. He was so tiny!: And now all grumpy and hormonal: ;)

I have no intention of breeding Oscar and Calypso, but want to be prepared if she decides to make me nuts and lay eggs. (she is hitting a year old soon). I was hoping someone would be willing to share a pic of their laybox so I can get an idea of what I will need. And or just the answer the...

I had Oscar out running around while I was trying to get those tiny phoenix worms out of the cup. I didn't realize he was heading into the room I was in. When I went out the door into the hallway, he was right there. So of course it startled me because I didn't want to step on him. Phoenix...

I thought I had read that, and decided to try one out. Have to wait for it to get here though. I have trouble with regular 65 watt flood bulbs getting the basking spots too hot and wanted to try a MVB. I was sure to order the ReptiSUN's just in case though. I can always use the Powersun on a...

Calypso has had some yellow urates the past three days. Her poo itself is well formed and there is fluid surrounding it when she goes. Not overly smelly. She gets a bath once a week and every morning I wash her greens and veggies well (which she does eat) so she shouldn't be dehydrated. I...

I didn't know where to put this, but I am soo excited! I got to cuddle with Calypso! The first time really that she didn't mind. She actually fell asleep with me. This is a big step with us! She always fights me when I pick her up and would never tolerate being in a blanket or what have...

I want to apologize if this is long. I will try to shorten it as much as possible. I just thought it would help those who are new to owning beardies and/or feeling guilty about the advice they were given from petstores. Also for those who don't believe the advice given "because the expert...

I measured her this morning and she is 18". Don't know how that happened, LOL As long as Oscar now. He better stop that bobbing at her because she will be able to whip him into shape! LOL and again hanging out in one of her favorite spots:

She runs and hides any time the light is turned on, or the ceiling fan or the shade is opened in the room she is in. We have not been doing these things so she won't freak, but I can't always sit here in the dark, LOL and when summer comes will need to use the ceiling fan. Should I continue...

Oscar is driving me nuts! LOL As if all the headbobbing, blackbearding and general antsiness isn't enough, now he won't eat unless handfed. This is my friends fault. She will hand feed Oscar some treats when she comes over. (she started this before he brumated). Ugh! How do I break this habit?

Calyspo the little nut ran over and ate the worms out of her dish. Then proceeded to spread the greens around her tank a bit before deciding to come back over and eat some. Of course she stopped when I grabbed the camera.

Calypso loves a bath. She wriggles, scratches like a dog, and swims around. Here she is in her tub. Do you think she needs more room/bigger tub now? (it's a baby bathtub). And here are just some of her in there:

His name fits him since he woke up from brumation. How can I get my sweet boy back. This is his new look: This is his happy look now: (Not so happy)

She doesn't really like to have her picture taken. Basking as usual

I plan to buy a MVB this week. The tube light is about past it's prime. Can I still use the light (just for light)? Does the fading UVB produce problems (if used for light only, not UVB) ? I seem to have 4 used reptisun 10's sitting here and Calypso's enclosure needs to be brighter...
