I've had my fire bellies for almost 10 yrs. They've been happy mating frogs for most of that time (this year's tadpole brood has come and gone). They have an entirely aquatic habitat with about 3-5 gal of water about that many inches deep, filter, heater when needed, and lots of places to rest...

Haha alright! That's good to know, glad his boy-ness is confirmed! I'll try and let him out more to run around; we've been away and its harder now with the cooler weather (and other bigger animals running around). Should I do anything or rearrange his cage or give him something extra in there to...

I had a hard time figuring out how to do this on my new phone... hopefully this works...

Oh geez... umm... well I did think he was a girl for a while when he was younger, but then thought that his tail bulges and femoral pores looked more like a boy... Maybe not. My last dragon was a major alpha male, and Thorn's personality/temperament/behavior/size is so much different. If he is...

Ok so, Thorn is about a year old now. Normally he's pretty chill and likes to lay in his hammock with the occasional run around the cage (especially when he had to poop which he normally saved up for once or twice a week). But lately (for like the past week or so) he's been non-stop running...

The digital thermometer is sitting right on her basking rock. I used it for years with my previous dragon, so I don't think it's too inaccurate. She definitely spends most of her time basking, so if anything it might be a little cool elsewhere. I'll definitely try some baby food. I have liquid...

UVB is a tube, ExoTerra Repti-glo 10.0 15w. I have a digital thermometer (broken probe) to take temps at the moment.

I'll try and find some probiotics, thanks. And should probably know this but...how do you make a slurry?

My baby beardie, Thorn, is about 3 months old and about 6-7 inches long. She hasn't eaten in 2 days and her poop is really runny/watery. She has also been kind of mopey the past few days. All of the area exotics vets decided to go on vacation at the same time so I can't even take her or get a...

After losing our first beardie, Drake, 2 months ago from a tumor at 8 1/2 yrs old, his empty cage has been making me sad and missing a beardie companion. So, we got Thorn! He's much smaller/younger than Drake was when we got him so it's strange having such a tiny pet. I'm not entirely sure if...

We lost Drake last night. He was mine and my husband's first pet together. We weren't allowed to have pets in our tiny apartment unless they could be kept in a "cage". Neither of us ever cared for a reptile pet before, but we got Drake because I really love animals and just wanted a pet. This...

Wow! We made the cover photo for A this year! Drake and I are honored! The calendar looks great as always! Can't wait to order!

Just wondering if I should get an automatic response to the email I sent with my pictures? Every other year I have gotten one to say you received them, but this year I didn't. I just want to make sure they made it through. Thanks!

Ok will do. Thanks a lot!

Ok, thanks. I'll keep an eye on him for any signs of respiratory infection. Should I try to get him to poop what little bit he has eaten in the past few weeks? (Like with applesauce or olive oil instead of bathing?) When he occasionally wakes up, I've been letting him bask for a few hours after...
