hi, i adopted a 1 yr old beardie about a month ago. he had only been eating mealworms and crickets-undusted-nothing else. i knew he had some issues, he didn't poop very much and had very little color to him. i switched out the mealworms immediatly, started dusting his crickets and feeding superworms and a few waxworms a few times a week. he has gotten alot more color and is more active, pooping maybe every three days instead of once a week, so he is getting better, but he has fairly dark marks on each side of his neck-not sure what that part is called, i am still new to his anatomy-should i worry or will it get better over the next few weeks?
thanks for any help,
nattie

If Thor gets upset or mad, he hasn't black bearded yet but, his shoulder pads get black as they can get.
Other then that what KitsuneGem said :wink:

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
