It's been a while. Here's an update: we found a new vet a while ago and got some meds. Didn't change much so they offered another dose. Nothing. Maybe it isn't infected? We come in for blood works and those came up perfectly fine. The vet feels that either there is a deformation in his toe or...

He's about 1 2/3 years old. Thank you for the response!!! The tubberware idea sounds pretty smart so I will try that if I ever have to travel for longer!

Hi, I am going to be out of town for at most three days. I am getting surgery and due to this, I am in a little financial trouble. I searched for a beardie sitter but I cannot find any fair prices. My friend has offered to care for my beardie and she is pretty reliable. However, she is...

That's why I was confused. She said 95 at MOST but I was told here that it is okay to got a bit over. I'm glad he's just a vitticeps, though. I feel like having a subspecies would have an overriding value in terms of currency instead of highlighting the bond I have with him. Just my opinion.

Yeah, I already know. That's why I said he looks like a vitticeps and that's what I was explaining in the bottom portion of the paragraph. :)

He's been on his meds for a few days and it has not gotten any worse. I don't know if it looks better nessecarily but it hasn't been getting any bigger or harder. If it falls off, I don't think it's a big deal. He was missing 3 nails when I got him and one toe is a bit deformed. (must have...

Hah, alright! I'll make sure to do loads of research before I decide on getting another. Especially if it's a rescue. That'll probably be a while, though, as I have my hands full with Sparks right now. He's a trouble maker.

Eh, just me being a newbie I guess. That's the exact reason why I asked the question. I didn't know if there were any reoccurring issues with the stores. I have no shame in asking! I love asking questions, it's just what I do.

Thanks! Yeah, I'll probably say something along the lines of that. I'm sure they'll react much more if I show some doubts about their care, resulting in a loss of sales for them. I'll just stick to breeders if I want a healthier beardie. Though, I might consider "rescuing" one from those stores...

Hi, So, I visited Petco today to buy a nicer food bowl for Sparks. I checked on the reptiles they had there and I found myself near tears when I saw that one of the baby bearded dragons was simply laying in the botttom of the cage - dead. I know this might not be Petco's fault but once I...

Hi, I took him to the vet and it turns out it's an infection. The vet said it was most likely due to a fight he got into before I got him, as he had it the day I brought him home. He's on antibiotics. The vet said that worst case scenario, we would remove his nail or maybe his toe. Though...

I figured that. I actually covered it before I made my second post. It seems to be a no-snag fabric as I can't pick any threads off of it. Thanks for telling me, though. However, I don't think the hammock is the cause for this one. He never lays on it with his whole body. He lays half on half...

Nope, just the one. Also, the pain thing was the one part I was confused on. While in his terrarium, he flinched and jerked his foot away from me. Keep in mind I am above him at this point and so he might of thought I was threatening him. (I just got him so he isn't completely used to me yet)...

I want to say it feels much like the other toes. Though, it was a bit hard to tell as he kept moving his leg away from me. I just took him out of the cage and now as I am feeling it, he isn't moving his leg. Maybe he was just nervous in there and feels more comfortable when we're both at eye...

Alright, thanks. Also, while looking into the temp thing, I just read that the stick on thermometers don't work at all. I have two of them on each side but I'll get rid of them. I just used a temp gun and the basking zone is pushing 114°. I am going to put the lamp back up a little now to get it...
