On December 5, 2012 Norbert turned the big 3! I think he liked his hat I made him :D

AHBD, His left hind foot did shed and his face, snout and chin is shedding... kinda looks like he is about to rob a bank lol. He started drooling in late October-early November of this year, one morning I was waking him up and it looked like he had been drooling in his sleep like people do...

Sorry somehow I forgot about this post lol Amber, Since Norbert is not eating as he normally would I have been using mostly (but not all) Romaine lettuce dusted with his multi-vitamins, but right now since he is not eating constantly and sometimes not at all for a week or more so it would be...

AHBD, Thanks for answering my shedding question, I just couldn't for the life of me remember if my last beardie shed or not; right after I read this post I noticed that one of his feet is about to shed, how about that for a coincidence? Norbert hasn't eaten since November 21, I stopped force...

AHBD, Brumation was definitely on my list of first thoughts, however the black has spread and rather quickly, and combined with the not eating and excess saliva I became concerned it was worse and at the time mouth rot was the only thing that seemed to fit, but lacking the other symptoms i dont...

I have a puzzle for you. One night while my 3 yr old male, Norbert, was basking with his mouth wiiiide open when I noticed something funny in his mouth, around his teeth where they meet the gums there was a black line and it looked like a tooth was broken and was solid black, maybe 1 or 2...

Norbert has started pooping less daily than he usually does, my first instinct was that he had an impaction so i scooped him up and felt his belly, no hard mass but just to be on the safe side i stuck him in a warm bath and massaged his tummy. I did this for a few days with no changes. He is...

I'm having similar issues, is amount he is pooping less than normal?

So glad you all liked the diagram, i was hesitant to post it. :) besides clipping and providing rocks and things to climb on another great way to keep the nails naturally worn down is to buy a porcelain tile and flip it over to the rough unfinished side and and place it somewhere in the cage...

sorry that was so long and confusing....i get carried away easily :wink:

i clip Norb's when he starts leaving red marks on my arms lol. A lot of people recommend reptile nail clippers, but i find that i have more control with baby nail clippers. Some people use flash lights to see the quick in the nail (the blood vessels and fleshy part), but i have never had any...

it is too close, but as an extra precaution I have a screen top for a 10 gallon tank that sits across the width of the viv only where the lights are; this way if for whatever reason the lamps or fixtures somehow fall or get bumped they will be stopped by the screen and not Norbert's head, it...

Norbert does the exact same thing, I think he becomes more active when I take him out to roam because there is more to see and explore than there is in his viv.

No, there is'nt any reason why he should have the liquid calcium. I was cleaning and found a unopened bottle and was wondering if the smell was normal. I gave his salad a few squirts of it and he ran away and tried to climb the glass to get away from it, dumped the stinky salad and gave him...

Maybe it's just me but is Zilla Food Spray Calcium Supplement supposed to smell like something died in the bottle? Its fairly new so I dont think it has gone bad, but man is it odiferous!!! :bleick: also for those who use it what is the proper dosage for a juvenile?
