There doesn't seem to be any mucous or anything around the nostrils or the mouth. His breathing seems calm and silent. The substrate I use is tile. I have a reptisun 10 for UVB set at about 12''-14'' away from his basking log. Could it be conjunctivitis?? I will bring him to the vet next time it...

My beardie Steve is having something weird going on with his eye. I can only describe it as eye boogers only it is really adhered to his lids. I use sterile tweezers and saline solution to prime and gently remove it. It has the texture of like a semi solid gel but is really pliable like chewed...

She is tolerating me..lol. She was doing really good and then my hubby and I went out for valentines day over the weekend and she is, lets say, tempermental. I think what has worked is just being persistant with her. Offering treats to her when she was gaping and hissing worked too. Each beardie...

I am having really good luck with Abbey! She is no longer opening her mouth at me or hissing. She lets me hold her and pet her. I am really pleased with how she is coming around. I think she may have had a back injury from her previous owners. She twitches alot when she head bobs and arm waves...

Tracie, Just wanted to give you an update on Abbey. She is improving so much since I took out the MVB. She is perky and her aggression is starting to fade. Her appetite has come back BIG TIME!! Her eyes are wide open and she is enjoying her new hammock. I have a reptisun 10.0 on order ( I should...
