good news, she passed the lump, it was a big poo. :)

I don't know the vet's actual experience, but he was extremely comfortable/confident handling her, I mean he seemed like he knew what he was doing/talking about and gave a lot of useful information. She is about a year old, and the vet said she was "approaching maximum size," and that she may...

A couple of days ago I took my beardy to the vet for her first check-up. He said she seemed perfectly healthy, but that she had a lump in her left side shaped like an oval. It was easy to move around and had the rough shape of a baby carrot, and was (either hard or squishy I cant remember)...

ok, thanks!

that makes sense, but do you know why she inflated herself?

I was watching my beardie while she was basking and saw her do something kind of strange- she puffed her beard up in and out rapidly about 4 times, once per second, then inflated herself like they do in water for another four seconds. she then deflated and kept her beard out for another four...

I want to thank you all for so much advice. I came in with a yes or no question and came away with SO much helpful info that wasn't even related to my question. :)

holy cow that discount. also do you know if this works for water? I'm buying it anyway, but just curious.

as far as tank size I don't remember the gallons, but I believe it is 13/13/26 inches. the substrate is a combination of reptile carpet and a tile slate I got at home depot (holy cow the tile was cheap) the thermometer came with the starter setup, I actually don't know how it works, but it is...

I have three different lights for my beardy, which came with a starter setup. the yellow "daylight" that provides most heat, a white light that is on 24/7 (pretty sure its for vitamins or something) and a purple "nightlight." I'm wondering if it is safe/ok to swap out the purple bulb that...

Guys i just wanna point out that my question was roughly six months ago lol. feel free to keep posting your opinions but the problem was solved a long time ago. (it says on the comment when it was posted by the way)

thanks for the advice!

So you prepare a second bath in the case that he poops? I like the baby soap idea, that's something I hadn't considered. Do you do anything for scrubbing?

My beardy appears to be sick, are the following symptoms something I should be worried about? Also how do I get her healthy again? undigested kale in poop, with no shape (just diahrea with bits of kale in it) what looks to be a 'runny' nose, white (mucus?) covering nostrils beard turning...

two topics I would like thoughts on: Does anyone have an efficient way of cleaning their beardies cage? I'm currently finding it to be a messy and time consuming process. When taking a bath, my beardy poops, and even if I yank her out just after (I have even tried while) pooping, she always...
