Is it safe to handle my beardie if i'm sick? Not like vomiting or anything huge, just a moderate cough, mild nausea and a bad headache for the past couple of days. I would of course wash my hands before and after, if it is safe to handle him at all while sick. Thoughts?

I have a 3 y/o male bearded dragon and lately he's been waaaay more active than he ever has been since i got him 9 months ago. It seems like he's always scratching at the glass to his enclosure, and when i take him out to handle him (daily) he runs around so much and so quickly that he could...

My 3 year old male bearded dragon stopped eating his greens a little over a month ago, even when i tried to cut crickets and worms out of his diet to try and "force" him to eat his greens. I've also tried to hand-feed him his veggies rather than leaving it in the bowl for him to eat (and i leave...

I have a male bearded dragon named Leaf who is roughly 3 years old (they didn't know his exact age/birthday/birth month when i got him) and i want to take him to my acting class tonight. There's roughly 50 people in the class, but of course there's usually around 10, give or take some, who can't...

He shouldn't be getting ready to shed i assume, as he just did about a month ago, but no he isn't usually /quite/ that shade, usually just slightly darker, and actually about an hour after those pictures were taken i noticed he actually appeared slightly darker than his usual shade (but only...

He has an (i believe) 75 gallon tank, with zoo med reptile carpet, 2 75 watt heat bulbs (so 150 total) and a uv bulb. Currently his basking side has a temp (judging by the petco glass thermometers which i know isn't accurate but it's all we currently have) of about 95 F, and the cool side at...

So lately my 3 y/o male bearded dragon has been hiding all day long and not eating his greens most of the time, but still eating his worms and crickets when i get those out. He hasn't pooped in a while either (and it's been a few weeks since his last bath, that's on me, i lost his bath container...

I've had 2 1/2 - 3 year old Leaf the beardie for about a month now, and I try my best to at least make an attempt to handle him as daily as possible (but more realistically every other day because of school) but he is still so skittish and tries to run away whenever i go to pick him up, even...

Thank you very much to both of you!! I have removed the heating pad, and Leaf appears very happy in the new tank :)

Today i purchased a new and larger tank/viv for my bearded dragon, Leaf. The lady had previously had a small heating pad on the warm side on the tank, stuck onto the side of the glass, not underneath the tank. Is this an okay thing? Or should I remove it before transferring Leaf into his new...

I've been researching bearded dragons and how to care for them for the past several months very in-depth, and i just recently was able to acquire one: A 2.5-3 year old male bearded dragon, roughly 18 inches in a 40 gallon tank. (note: working on getting bigger tank, this was what the previous...
