Tracie, Are there any issues thyroid related maybe or gland related that cause pogona to not be able to thermoregulate? I have never seen this issue in any of mine.

Do you have a high/low thermometer to check the overnight low temps? I am wondering if because the tank is lower to the ground if it gets a bit cooler. I know you have a blanket for him but they don't always stay put.

Sometimes they will try to brumate at odd times of year and honestly its hard to get them to stop. Keeping it warm and removing hiding spots can help them stay more alert and hungry. Usually by the second year they will fall in line. Try not to worry even though its very hard. Keep him...

Just some side info here, I wasn't able to read through all the pages. But I have recently been treating one of my females with chronic UR issues with nebulizer treatments with Albuterol and Dexamethasone injections. basically treating the symptoms like asthma. She had also been on...

Is there anyway you can post a photo of her? Sorry maybe you already did ;)

Can you tell us more about her? Is she a translucent morph and do you have any history on when and by who she was bred? This could help us to narrow down if this is a possible genetic neurological disorder that is not from her diet. Usually diet/husbandry is the culprit though...

I think more people should be aware that freezing eggs is a very humane and viable alternative to trying to raise babies unprepared. Many people feel that they are somehow hurting the animal but there's nothing but some yolk and bloodvessels early on. Compare that to attempting to raise and...

I wouldn't worry too much but it could be a cricket bite so make sure there's no left overs especially at night ;) You can put some regular Neosprin ointment (not cream and not with pain relief added) to help it heal. We prefer Silver cream or solution or Terramycin but a triple antibiotic...

Gosh I hope they didn't ask for money for those babies. Well don't lose hope. I would actually go out to petsmart or petco and get some Fleukers Reptaboost. It's essentially the same as making your own slurry but eliminates the hassle of mixing and it doesn't go bad since you mix what you...

I love this thread! It starts with him coming out of the box and all the way to 420g! Way to go! YOu guys are top notch beardie lovers ;) I would try and let him out more around this time that he is basically wanting to mate... maybe get him a stuffed animal! hahahah.... it will pass soon...

I am so sorry that I have missed all of this and not been there for you guys. Please email me if you need anything. You guys are excellent caregivers! And we all know you have loved her the best way!

Did you happen to get a culture done by the vet? I am curious as to what info you have gotten as there is little research done on this.

Wow! $5 for a picture! That's classy. I think your genetics lesson gave you some good insight as to the true issue that has been discussed here. Most of us really only question the validity of a blue eye gene. And as you said this should be something they are born with and can be passed on...

I agree! This dragons eye is true blue... no white silvery pigment causing it to look blue. I have had one hypo trans girl with the same eyes... unfortunately her eyes went all black with age. If this can override the translucent gene turning the eyes black and then be reproduced to this...

In the wild they don't live on sand. Like when you walk on the beach it's hard to walk ;) They live on hard packed dirt basically.
