Will do, thank you!

Thanks so much for the reply. The UVB is in the tank, it's 6 months old (I'll change it on August 1st), and yes taken with a digital probe thermometer. I'll try raising the light a bit and lowering the temp. I'll also adjust the setup so his basking spot is lower with less risk of falling. Thank...

Hi all, thanks for reading. My boy is ~8 years old. He had no heat or UVB on him at purchase (~1 yr old) and was diagnosed with MBD by my vet. He had a crooked back and tail and couldn't walk at all. Overall in really poor shape :( I hand fed him for almost 8 months, he had finally started...

Hello! Our beardie is ~1.5 years old, and he's started showing dry/flaky skin on his beard. He just shed the rest of his beard 2 weeks ago, and the problem appeared about a month ago. I'm unsure if it's scale rot, a stuck shed, or something else. I had our vet look at it and she suspected...

Wanted to post an update as I was on this forum constantly when I first got my little guy, he was severely malnourished and as a result had MBD. He couldn't walk at all and had trouble eating. With no previous beardie experience you guys were lifesavers! Just posting to say he is doing...

Are you positive it's a female? We just had the same situation with our guy, overnight change in behavior from relaxed to aggressive. Turns out she was a he and is going through puberty... Might be worth re-checking gender :)

How old is he? My guy recently started going through 'puberty' and he is SASSY! He used to lounge around and be perfectly content, but it's like a switch went off overnight - black beard, hissing, biting... He's around 5-6 months, though,so if yours is younger I'm not sure :(
