I promise you I know what I'm doing with my lizard ? as I said, this is an ongoing conversation with my vet (whom I actually work with, as I actually work in animal husbandry). We don't really know why he gets the infections. He gets a bath once a week (and he hates it so much), he has a very...

Hi everyone! Up until today, Chip had been very constipated (I thought he was impacted, made an appointment at the vet for next week) for a little over a week. I thought that he may have been impacted because he's had another URI (he's prone to them, doc and I can't figure anything out except...

Hey guys, it's that time! Chippo is officially in puberty. Yup. My sweet little angel now stomps around the house with a flared up black beard, spins around and gets defensive at any sign of a reflection, and in general is just a very grumpy goose. I've seen a lot of people on here wondering...

I definitely will try to take pics tomorrow. Right now he's snuggled in his bed. He's a normal beardie, you can see just normal pictures of him on his insta, Chipsahoyackerman I believe. He's on solid sub, and we only handfeed rn! His respiratory issues make him a pretty slow hunter so he mostly...

Hi guys I'm going to try to keep this short because as you might guess I am STRESSING rn I've already cried. Chip has been sick before but this is his first injury and I'm just trying to really wrap my head around it. Chip has been having a really rough shed. I'm doing everything I normally do...

Hello lovelies! I'm actually doing pretty well with this topic myself but I just wanted to know if anyone else had any ideas? So Chip had an URI a little bit ago, and basically lost his appetite altogether. He was such a sad little potato while he was sick, I had to hand feed him soft foods...

I've been working on this actually! I have a portable CHE, but he does get lost in my apartment and can't find his way back lol. We're working on it, but for now we have to be careful with play time because he's been trying to get under my washer and my oven. I have a baby gate to block it but...

Hello guys! I have to admit I've been a little hesitant to post anything here again, as last time I was bombarded with people telling me that everything in Chippo's tank was wrong. When I first moved to my new apartment, a lot of new things were happening and Chip developed a little phlegm, and...

Eek. This is what I get for buying a "fully stocked dragon kit". Should have known when it came with sand! His new vivarium will be in very soon and then all of the lights will be inside, and he'll have more room and stimulation which will probably also help. I'll keep the vet appointment...

Okay so I have a hesitant appointment with my vet (made through the online portal so I'm waiting on confirmation from the clinic). He's still super bloated but around thirty minutes after dinner (which I cut back on anyway, he only wanted one small worm and some greens per usual) he perked up a...

Awesome, thanks. His adult Viv is currently being built so hopefully that will be adjusted before too dreadfully long. He's pooped since this picture, seems à little bit more perked up but not much.

*edit, it appears I feed him the large ones, but the worms I've been giving him are definitely within the recommended length

I put his UV light up for the day already. I get the medium sized worms rn. The lights I use are Zoomed 100 watt infrared, zoomed 100 watt basking light, and the Zoomed reptisun 5.0 uvb. He's super lethargic at this point and I'm googling my vet, just to be on the safe side. Worse thing that I...
