Petco has a $1/gallon sale going on right now. You could pick up a 40 gallon breeder for comparatively cheap and put a divider in it for your baby. The 10 gallon wouldn't have to go to waste since you could use it as a feeding tank or to breed feeder roaches.

Nero, because he is a very spoiled little emperor with a very dark black beard. Virgil, because when we initially rescued him he could not sit still in his viv (still can't) and was always standing up on his back legs on his log, trying to get out. He has escaped from his viv a few times. So...

There really aren't any good feeders in the pet stores here. I order everything online and you have to be really careful when ordering online when it's summer - especially right now. There is a store called Plano Pets that has an OK reptile section (we got our two beardies from there), and...

Looks like an adult beetle... basically the grown-up version of a superworm. :)

I would also suggest removing the substrate (the calcium carbonate sand)... it can cause impaction in the intestines. Try tile or non-adhesive shelf liner. You can dust their feeders or salad with calcium supplements instead.

It costs about $15 to get a fecal done at my vet's if I just drop the samples off. If I go in for a visit, it's $55 including the fecal, per lizard, and I have three... so that's $165 per year. For three lizards I don't think that's a terrible expense. You could try calling around and see...

The bright yellow squash in your first picture looks like pattypan squash. It's just a different kind of squash than the butternut/pumpkin.

We don't feed pinkies to our bearded dragons. We were at a reptile show on Sunday and brought Nero with us. Everyone complimented Nero on how big and healthy he is... "wow, my bearded dragon is nowhere near that big... I feed mine pinkies, do you?" and we told them no. I have no idea if...

I would recommend a Reptisun 10.0 linear bulb and to mount it inside the tank, not lay it on top of the screen. The mesh can and will filter out some of the UV rays that bearded dragons need. (Or you could cut a hole where the fixture is laying on top of the screen so that the rays directly...

Sending positive thoughts your way!

Thanks! :D Yes, he does like babyfood with the powder... I haven't had much chance to give him that lately though, due to work, but he takes powdered feeders enough that I haven't worried as much as before. He's gained about 50 g in weight since we got him and we'll keep working on that. I...

You can try Herp Vet Connection (just google) and look up Austin... I'm sure there must be at least one herp vet there. I'd recommend you ours but we're in the DFW. And you're welcome. :) Good luck with your cute little girl. :)

We rescued a male adult a few weeks ago in a similar condition. Those two lumps you circled look like to be her hip bones. She's very skinny, so that's why you can see them. I set out a daily salad for Sunny and he gets roaches every day. I try not to overload him with too many bugs per...

We were in a local pet store last Sunday, killing time, and went over to the reptiles section as we usually do. We found this guy in a 40 gallon breeder on the floor, no lights, but glass dancing around with lots of energy and a full black beard. (He had his eye on a female beardie across the...

Give him a warm bath, about 20-30 minutes or so. Make sure his vent is submerged and that the water isn't too hot. You can also give him/her canned pumpkin and/or warmed applesauce with a drop of mineral oil or olive oil.
