Hahaha! I think this will sum up a good response to this question: https://youtu.be/79eUUR2VI0Y Enjoy.

Hi there, Doesn't really look like calluses. It looks like some minor damage to her appendages. I would flush the wound with fresh dilute Betadine, then put on a triple antibiotic ointment. This should assist in the healing process. Hope this helps.

Hi there, I doubt the muscular dystrophy is having an impact on diet, though it is possible. Have you tried hand feeding. I generally do not advise that, but it may be needed in this circumstance. Keep an eye on her weight. Check to ensure she isn't at an unhealthy weight. You can learn how to...

Hi there, No worries. Sorry, it has been hard to get a new heat bulb. Try to use any standard incandescent bulb for now. These typically produce enough heat. If you can get the temps back around 100 that would be ideal, but it certainly isn't the end of the world. Let me know if you can't...

They will do that. Our breeders stay in black cages. This, at first, was a major adjustment. Dragons are very attracted to red as well.

Hi there, Firstly, thanks for reaching out to the community for help. At her age, fewer eggs and infertility are far more common. It is very possible that she will not lay more. However, they prefer to lay in the proper environment. Place her in a tub with moist coco fiber or moist clean play...

Hi everyone, My name is Blake, and I've recently been working to increase my activity on the forum. I'm a breeder in the trade, and I have worked with bearded dragons for several years. More recently (especially with the circumstances of 2020), I've been trying to give back to the bearded...

Hey there! It should pass through just fine. This is the reason when people are debating between lose and solid substrates, I always say that no substrate is the best. This has happened to me a few times, and it's never been fatal. Just make sure they are eating and pooping normally over the...

This is a great explanation. Just get creative. Bearded dragons are especially attracted to the color red. You can also try to mix in some greens when they're chewing on the crickets. :lol:

I don't feed mealworms because of the risk of impaction in smaller bearded dragons. Adults generally will have no issue, but the feeder size is small at that. I prefer super worms by far, but there is a national shortage due to about 40 million super worms dying as a result of equipment failure...

Please keep in mind that using a loose substrate is certainly a risk. You're right, the reptile carpets can be a hassle. I'd recommend going with ceramic tile flooring or vinyl. This is easy to clean, and by far more safe. Nonetheless, if you feel ready to take on the risk, The Bio Dude has...

Hi there, Just a few things I note for starters. I'd stay away from the red "night heat lamp." These have been shown to be unhealthy for the beardie's sight. Plus, unless your home gets below 65-67 degrees, there is nothing to worry about at night. In fact, beardies need to cool down at night...

Cooper is right. The cards are designed for UVA, and the UVA meters are several hundred dollars. We have one since we have to test so many bulbs. For the most part, if you change the bulb every six months you should be fine. Cheers,

If you are speaking about where is circled in this image, these are fat pockets. It is typically a way to tell if your bearded drgaon is underweight. This, along with the base of the tail. As long as you don't see any bones protruding (as if they have lost too much weight), you should be fine...

Yep. Totally normal. Brumation is what gets a bearded dragon ready to breed. When they wake up they are very active and ready to go. They usually calm down a few weeks to a month after waking up.
