About a month ago my beardie master, Loki, fell and somehow paralyzed himself. We went to the vet and it turns out he didn't have any spinal fractures, xrays and blood tests show good calcium levels. The vet couldn't find anything causing the paralysis with Loki, but said that he might live a...

Loki seems to be rushin' to get rushin'. He wants to move move move, but then gets frustrated and disappointed when he can't move with the speed and agility that he used to. And I'm not sure weather to encourage it or not. Moving might mean that he's getting back to the way things were (sans...

Recently my beardie, Loki, has lost the use of his rear legs. Now that we figured out how to deal with that situation I have yet another one. Loki seems to have wounded his vent and it is bleeding. I know it's not coming from internal issues (I can actually see the wound). I think it's because...

I'm no expert on the subject, but I do know that one of my friend's beardies is always skinny. She says its a high metabolism. That beardie easily eats twice what the other beardies do and doesn't even gain weight off of it.

after reading alot about brumation (after dealing with the same concern) I've noticed that they dont do it within the first year. Your beardie seems a little young to be doing it (but I'm no expert) Though everything else seems to be in check. Maybe its the sudden cold thats swooping over the...

I ran around and around before I could find my timer last summer. The first timer I tried was from my parents garage (had to be at least 10 years old)... it didn't work, at all. So I thought I'd be fancy and buy one of those digital timers where you can set the on and off time precisely... the...

Thank you for the encouragement, today has been alot about how things might not turn around (really hard to take in). I'm not sure weather something landed on him or not, my friends brother was the first to the scene, but there wasnt anything on him when I got there. Also, I didn't think about...

Also forgot to mention 55gal glass viv.

What are your tank specs? Lighting, heat temps, size, food, etc.

A week ago I visited my friends house with Loki (my 2 year old beardie) in his travel cage along with the normal sorts of lighting. There didn't seem to be any signs of trouble until his cat knocked Loki's cage off the table. I noticed around that time that his hind legs did not seem to move...
