Hey guys its been a while since I posted. Since then I have bought another juvenile bearded dragon. This one which I call "little guy" has a special story. I bought him from a pet store in my local town a few weeks ago. They were not taking very good care of him. They were only providing a 60...

So last time I posted a picture of Leonidas was when I first got him so here is a comparison for you guys Then: Now:

Just wondering if anyone else had any thoughts? If not i might just play it safe and take him to a vet.

Kariann I don't think its an eye problem though because 1) He will open his left eye from time to time 2) When his left eye is open it looks normal just like his other one. You are right however about taking a trip to the vet. The nearest one is about an hour away from me so I am going to give...

I just noticed this morning that Leonidas has been keeping his left eye closed and has what appears to be a black eye. I was wondering if you guys might be able to confirm what the issue is and if I will need to take him to a vet. Currently he has be exhibiting normal behavior eating properly...

****UPDATE***** Got my shipment of live crickets today. Oh man was it an adventure. I brought the box in my house and not thinking I opened the top to inspect the shipment. Crickets started going everywhere. I hurried outside with the box and dump all the crickets into this large tupperware...

Guys thank you so much for the advice. The website you recommended seems very reputable (it was featured on dirty jobs). I put in an order for 500 and I am going to start increasing the amount I feed to my beardie. I would have been feeding him more but I thought the repcal food would be the...

So I have been looking around and reading that people feed their beardie anywhere from 20 to 100 crickets a day. I was wondering if feeding mine about four to six crickets a day is under feeding him. I know they are suppose to eat as much as they want in a 15 minute time frame. The problem is...

Found this on youtube today. If this has been posted before I apologize: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKR0qi1ZLgo

So I took my bearded dragon outside today for the first time. I let him rest in my palm while he just soaked up some sun for about 15 minutes. He seemed to really enjoy it. Surprisingly he didn't panic or freak out. He just sat in my hand basking in the sunlight and quizzically looking around...

I know bearded dragons are desert creatures but I was wondering if small amounts of humidity is bad for them. The only reason why I am asking is sometimes I will spray my dragon down in his tank and some water will spray on to the sides of the tank. Combine that with the basking light/uvb light...

Awesome got my replacment reptisun hood in the mail today. Plugged it up and everything works fine. I must just have not been that lucky with my first order from petmountain.

Just wanted to share with everyone that leonidas started shedding this morning. To help him shed I soaked him in warm water for about eight minutes. Also I know coiled bulbs are not good for their health but ever since I put up the UVB coiled light as a temporary solution leonidas has been...

The light is quite bright which doesn't bother me but combined with the basking light I don't want to blind the dragon. Random question though does the dragon actually see the fluorescent UVB light as it would be visible to the human eye or is it filtered out?
