A little story about Jimmia :)

A long time ago, about 1 year and a bit, I wanted a new friended, I was always depressed, I have no friends, I just went to and from work everyday and every night, I missed my dog still even though she passed on 2 and half years before I got Jimmia-

so 1 day I made a wish just before my birthday in May that I needed a new friend, because I was feeling alone whilst my mother was in hospital dealing with breast cancer and had no one at home to talk with besides my dog but she was only in spirit form; and one night not long after my mother got to good news that she was cancer free I was very happy, I was walking home one night not by choice but it was my only way to and from work, I found a shoe box by the side of the road, so to save a car running over it I thought I would do the honourable thing and move it but when I had opened the box I had seen a tiny little bearded dragon in there (soon to be jimmia);

I thought to myself awesome, my wish came true, I needed a brand new friend, so that night I took little jimmia home with me, and at that point in time I hardly knew any information whatsoever about bearded dragons!

I did a little google search and I came across this amazing website! From there I did what I could, I went and got his light, and other stuff I needed the very next day!

so since than, I’ve not felt so much depressed, I’ve not felt alone, I’ve slowly built my trust in love again, I am me me again! Now watching my little bearded slowly grow over the 1 year I have had him I’ve discovered more information about the bearded dragon species than I did before and I honestly say it is fantastic!

so I would like to really say thank you very much both to everyone who has helped me here on this website and also at the pet shop!

:) :) :) :) :)

WELL, I am new to this, but feel emboldened by my potty training advice I added to a post last nite.
I have had at least 2 1/2 months of advice from this site which has been invaluable to me.
My little guy Jesse came home from a reputable reptile dealer with substrate that was used for snakes.
He would poop in it, and it was super easy to clean up.
Then I got this super hammock that was made of natural fibers, and he loved it.
However, to keep this short, he would poop pretty much in the same spot everyday.
The light bulb, though dim, went off.
So, I got on line and bought a water resistant liner used for nail care -thru Graham Beauty-plastic backed nail towels. Cut them in half, then thirds, to try and save money.
I currently use 1/2 sheet everyday on his current hammock, which is a green repti-hammock. I have a spare, but have not needed to use it yet. I use kitty litter clips to hold them in place. We know no shame here.
He will not get on his hammock until a fresh liner is put on. It could be hours.
He occasionally has an accident during trips, or changes in his life.
Hope this helps.

thank you very much jesse2019 and hippielizards :)

@ jesse2019 - yes we are all proud parent/s and fascinated in anything about our beautiful beardies or as hippielizards said in another part of this forum “you know you’re a beardie owner when - you can talk about bearded dragon poop with other beardie owners and they think nothing wrong of it lol” :)

so that’s awesome to hear about you and your beardie potty training keep up the good work :)

I trained jimmia to do it in a little bath of warm water or just let him go naturally when needs and sometimes he poops on my hand or shoulder lol, I don’t yell at him I just let him be himself haha :)

and again as thanks to hippielizards - when they spread their back legs funny, you know the shiz is about to go down lol and they are going to poop haha :) sorry :(

and @ hippielizards correct me if I’m wrong - but a tip for wipes jesse2019, get a paper towel roll, break of each square or whatever they are, fold them, place them in a old nappy wipe box, add few drops of scented oil, a little water, little vinegar, and you can use them wipes either for hands and cleaning the tank with so save buying individual wipes all the time :)

sorry :| but anyway thank you again everyone, I hope you have a fabulous week of what’s left of it, stay safe, be well and be good, sending you, your family and beardie/s some hugs/ bugs and love from here in Australia :) xoxo

Hmm, I've never heard of or tried that trick, but it sounds interesting. Usually I just use diaper wipes to clean up stuff. What type or scented oil do you use though? You need to be very careful with those as a lot of them can be really toxic to beardies and other animals.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
