    Lost my youngest beardie yesterday..

    I haven't posted here in a long time, but my heart has been shattered. I lost my youngest beardie, Sobek (Sobie) yesterday, on my birthday no less. He was only around 4 years old. On Sunday he seemed completely normal, eating and alert just as always, had pooped recently and seemed like his...

    Dark at the end of Chomper's tail..

    Huh, okay. We've tried washing it pretty well. We only really applied oil to the area of stuck shed (which part of actually came off tonight!!!), not the darker part, which are separated by a good inch or two. I was really concerned about it because it seemed obviously painful. I'll go back to...

    Dark at the end of Chomper's tail..

    I'm mostly wanting to see if anyone else has had this experience with their beardies, as it's bothering me and I have no idea what's going on!! - He has had a thick layer of stuck shed for ~6 months. He regularly gets 2-3 baths a week. His tank humidity fluctuates, anywhere from 25-50% (only...

    Feeling guilty..

    Despite this, you obviously learned from your mistakes and are righting them now! I have similar regrets about keeping a Betta, knowing it wasn't getting the proper care it needed (and yet it was much better than people who keep their fish in a tiny glass bowl!!!), and to be honest you probably...

    Feeling guilty..

    Thank you all for the kind words!! Cooper, Thank you. I think wondering "is this enough?" is something I will always worry about, and wonder, especially with my dragons -- but honestly with any pet. I am going to try to spend more time with them, even if it's just a few minutes a day. Jen and...

    Feeling guilty..

    So I've been wondering how to phrase this for awhile and hoping someone else can relate. My boyfriend and I have two beardies, Chomper, who is two years old and Sobek who is just hitting one year. We have had them both since they were young. I love these two with all my heart. Chomper was our...

    Interpreting blood results?

    So my two boys both got bloodwork this week. The vet said they came back good, but I'm still curious about what they mean... there's no "normal" range listed so I have no idea! Sobek - 6 month old male WBC estimate: 4.0 Hematocrit: 45 Heterophils: 2560 Total protein: 6.7 AST (SGOT): 6...

    Beardie bros: Chomper & Sobek!

    Decided to re-make this thread since we now have two beardies! Meet.. Chomper! He's about 1 year 4 months, 19" and close to 700g. I never had any idea I could love a reptile so much, but I seriously love him so much. (link to his photo album) Here's so of my favorite pictures of him: his...

    Had a huge scare yesterday!

    So yesterday I had my first real scare with my beardies. I was feeding my new baby a piece of a raspberry (not sure how old he is, maybe 4 months?) and he grabbed a piece that was apparently too big for him. I really didn't think it was too big for him, I am always super paranoid about what I...

    How much food is enough?

    I live in New England. I figured some fresh air and sunlight would do him well, but he gets really scared outside and tries to dig into the grass! We still need to work with him so he's not so afraid! We will have to keep trying different foods. So fussy!

    How much food is enough?

    So in the last few months, my bearded dragon Chomper hardly eats any more. He's about 1 year 2 months old, and seems very healthy. We got blood work done a few months ago. He's about 630 grams and hasn't been losing weight. He rarely naps (though we catch him closing his eyes a little in the...
