Hi, I know this is a BD website but I know some people may have snakes too. I am looking for frozen rats that will ship for a reasonable price.

Hi, This afternoon I went to feed my Beardie, Hero, and noticed that his throat/under his chin is kind of swollen looking. It doesn't seem to bother him but it looks like a bunch of extra skin. I gave him a bath yesterday and didn't notice it. Everything else with him and his tank is normal...

I am building a wooden tank for my beardie. What kind of sealant is safe to use inside of his tank?

So you used grout to cover the styrofoam? What was the seal that you used? I want to do something like this for mine but don't want it to be toxic to him. How many layers of grout did you use? And is it the same kind of grout that you use when laying tile? How long did the whole process take...

So, I have now had Hero for two months and he has trippled in size. Loves his crickets, phoenix, wax and butter worms. The base of his tail is getting thick. My questoin is: How do you know if your beardie is getting a little plump? I know they can become over weight, but are there any things...

No worries! Mine goes about 3 times a day too! And he is growing like a weed, so seems like he is doing great!

My BD is about 5 months or so and would not eat any greens either. I find that if I take a piece and put it on the tip of my finger he will eat it. I also do it before I feed him crickets so he is real hungry. I have only seen him eat greens once out of his food bowl. I also one time put a...

Sounds like those "little runts" are just the ones who are the lease dominant. Dominance is the reason you don't house bearded dragons together. The most dominant one will not let others eat as much. The bigger ones can also bite and hurt the smaller ones. Those little ones are not getting as...

Last night I went into my home office where Hero is kept. I saw him sleeping and got a closer look. Usually he seems to be able to tell I am looking and will open his eyes to look at me. He didn't do this and as I looked closer I could not see him breathing. I was like Oh, no! So, I tapped on...

I called my local Herp vet and they charge $20/day and you have to bring everthing he needs with detailed instructions. I can't afford that right now, I will be gone for 6 days. I am going to get my sister to do it and just portion out his feedings for her so she does not have to touch anything...

That is a good idea about the local herp vet. I will call them

I am going out of town for 5 days. I was wonder what most people do with their BD when they need to go out of town? I am a lil nervous about asking someone to watch Hero. I thought about taking him to the pet store where i got him and see if I could put him in a tank there. I wish there was an...

Thank you for the information!!

Hey, I just have a few random questions... 1. I bought some crickets from Petsmart and about half of them have died. Not sure why. They have food (jelly stuff) and are inside so they are not getting too cold. 2. How do you know when the BD's nails are getting too long? 2.a. How do you cut...

I didn't really do anything to get him to play. I have been giving him baths in a small plastic container and usually he stands all the way up like he does not like the water touching him and looks up like let me out. Today though he kind of squatted down into the water and just splashed his...
