The weather for my area is hot and sticky, 90-100 degrees. :/ my dad may be attempting to hook up a window air conditioner on the generator though.

So, my power may be out for up to two weeks and my beardies reside downstairs. Thinking about setting up some smaller tanks in a room that gets natural light and then taking both of them outside in the sun a few times a day. Thoughts? Any tips for dealing with this unusual situation?

That would be funny if they came from the same place. And thanks! Congrats on your new baby as well!

Nope! All the way out in IL. :P

Update: so the baby will be losing two toes. Otherwise, she's now in the sick room and I intend on getting the baby some betadine and antibiotic for store use so the injury doesn't get infected. If she's still there in July (when I'll have extra money to tend to her on my own) I may adopt her...

Was definitely going to try it. I'll probably be getting some silks for the boys. Who knows, maybe I can convince Jack to eat too... although, ten bucks says that within 20 minutes, he'll have the greens spewed all over his tank. :P

Alright... so today was the day! The day I was FINALLY able to use my once-a-year giant employee discount and bring home baby Axel! He's such a sweetheart. I introduced him to big Jack. Jack kind of thought he was food. (Excuse the mess. Cage cleaning day is tomorrow. My Jack is a...

Yep, and just to add to the comment above: Just because we keep them together in PetSmart doesn't mean it's a good idea. At my store, we've got a little one in the isolation room with a broken foot and two toes about to fall off. Not sure if she was hurt in the shipment or if one of the...

Hahahaha. Twelve. Holy crap. And I thought I had a lot of animals.

Well, I've already got one... And I'm taking in one of this little one's cage mates tomorrow. Going home with two beardies at once probably isn't a good idea. I'd have to cash out and get them both bigger tanks at the same time. And yes, we have a Banfield vet that assists us in treating our...

Okay, thank you! My coworker put the little one in the isolation room. Probably won't be able to take her, at least not right now. I don't have enough room in my house. I'd probably only care for her for a while before finding her a forever home if I did take her at all.

Exactly what was said. And many animals can do this. Parthenogenesis. I had one lady walk into my PetSmart the other day with aquatic turtle eggs. She was so freaked out because she only had one turtle and she was 8 years old. :lol:

Alright, so after going over there and giving it a good looksie, it's not AS bad as I originally thought. But that long middle toe DOES look pretty dark. Also, not sure if the little one was being picked on or if she somehow got smashed in the shipment? Might still convince the managers to...

So, one of the little beardies at my work (PetSmart) had her toe bitten off. Now, it seems like the entire foot is getting infected (necrosis?). I'm a little worried about her, particularly because my manager has said no to putting her in the isolation sick room simply because she doesn't know...

Just wanted to say, thank you for this post! :) I'm getting a baby beardie on Thursday... which will be my first baby beardie since I was 12 years old. That being said, I'm getting him into some solid veggie-eating habits and this post is definitely what I needed to compile my list. I've seen...
