hi all, hope you can help. Frito has these large spots on his back. i think it's shed spots, but it seems to be taking its sweet time this time around. what do you think? thanks, nervous beardie mom!

hi, this is cheeto: he is almost 3 years old. he is 22" long and weighs 457g. he has a good apetite, eats greens (collard/mustard/turnip) and various fruits/veggies (as recommended by beautifuldragon.com nutrition guide). he eats reptiworms (no xtra calcium) and butterworms (with d3 calcuim)...

love the plush hammocks, did you make them?

of course, it's been a while since we took those pix & he's much bigger now. at 22" he's much easier to keep track of, so now we find that we can leave the cage door open & have built him a ramp to the floor so he's pretty much got run of the place. well, he did, until we got 2 new kittens, who...

our beardies LOVE the natural sunlight so we give them as much as they want in the summertime, you can see in our post "cheeto's summer house" : viewtopic.php?f=34&t=134950 we also love to take them everywhere with us, but very important, we use a leash. if they were to get scared, they can...

when i'm traveling alone with our beardie, he rides shotgun in his carrier with the front seat heater on high, which seems to keep him toasty enough. if the family is along, then he gets the back seat (still in his carrier) on a heating pad plugged into a converter which plugs into the car. we...

Well, now that picture belongs in the bd calendar! What a sweet girl :) happy to note that as of this morning his scales are back to normal, though now he's showing me he can switch sides. Little stinker & his many moods keeps mama on her toes!

Well, he wasn't thrilled with the tail soak or the neosporin, but we're all about tough love here. Will definitely keep an eye on it, hopefully just a shed coming on and not the evil tail rot I've heard about.

OMG, she is too cutie, esp with the priceless grumpy face!

frito (and cheeto's) tank both have the reptisun 10.0 light, which i just replaced last week, so that's low on my list of possibilities. each tank has 2 digital probe thermometers, with cool side around 70-75, warm side 85-90 and basking spot 100-105 (cheeto) and 105-110 (frito, as he's younger...

nope, not housed together. i just put him down to take the picture in the good light.

because worrying about one beardie just isn't enough, frito's chin is looking strange... his normal colors, light yellow orange, have really darkened up along his lip line and the scales are looking a bit puffy with schmutz around them, like grout... is this pre-shed? or possibly fungus...

hi all, not sure if i need to worry, the tip of cheeto's tail is turning grey on the very tip & looks like it's starting to split at the seam..... any thoughts?

So sorry for your loss :( I know how tightly they wrap themselves around our hearts and it is devastating to lose a beloved friend. From your lovely letter I know he knew how much you loved him.

we live in ga too, what pet store carries silkworms? Id love to skip s&h from online ordering! Thx!
