Nothing out of the ordinary or stuck, she seems to have more thick saliva than usual, no discoloration to it though

My 10 year old beardie had a rough night last night. After her lights went out and she curled up to sleep, she started gaping and opening her mouth a lot, and sit very upright with her nose pointed upwards. She was very sleepy, but anytime she tried to lay back down flat to sleep, she would have...

Thanks! That was going to be my next likely step, just wanted to see what someone else's input may be :)

40 gallon tank, repti-sun 10.0, I've got him on non adhesive shelf liner. His basking temp's around 102-105 and I feed him crickets daily and greens. I change it up between collard, kale, mustard, and turnip. I feel like I've got the setup / feeding part down (although I could dust with...

My beardie is a healthy active little guy (~2 yrs old) However, I've noticed whenever I give him baths he often has a little bit of blood in his stool the next few days, then it goes back to normal. I gave him a bath two days ago, he pooped with a little blood that day, yesterday, and today I...

I was reading up on health issues with Beardies the other day and stumbled upon the topic of tail rot and how it can occur due to trauma. When I bought Rikku I didn't know at the time but his tail had some nips in it which became apparent as he aged (He must have been roughed up as a hatchling...

I've been struggling to find a basking temp that Kuja likes. If it reads around 105 she's always gaping while underneath it. If it reads 100 she still gapes underneath it. She won't gape anywhere else in the cage except for a few minutes when she first gets under the basking light. Is this a...

Thanks for all the info! I'll look into it

Hello! I recently bought some ceramic tile for the floor of my beardie's viv. I'm just curious about needing to seal it / grouting the tiles together as I've noticed her toes were getting caught in the cracks occasionally. So firstly, for any experts out there (or anyone who knows more about...

I forgot to mention I'm taking temps with an acu-rite digital thermometer (two of them) so I know they're correct.

I recently moved my 8 month old beardie to a new enclosure. It's a 40 gal setup with a 36" reptisun 10.0 UVB and a heat lamp. I tested temperatures and the basking gets to 100 F, and the ambient side is mid 80s. Since I put her in the new cage, she only stays on the cool side and I rarely see...

I bought a new 40 gallon tank for my little guy and I'm wondering about the lighting options for it. I know I want to get a repti-sun 10.0 UVB bulb, and I've gotten a dome for the heat lamp. My only question is, I'm considering getting a combination light fixture that's 36" and has a socket for...

I've had my beardie for about 4 months now, and any time I put my hand in his cage he flares up and tries to bite me. Is he going to be like this forever or will he eventually become friendly? He's about 5 months old. . . pretty small for his age ( about 7 - 8 inches) and he's in a 40 gallon.

He is breathing fine. I have him in a 40 gal and my bulb wattage is 150. He doesn't spend all that much time in the basking spot so I think I'm gonna try switching up either the wattage or the placement of the light. The UVB is a strib, and it's about 8 inches from the basking spot. I take my...

i have him on repti-carpet. He pooped yesterday, but has not today yet. His color is getting better and his beard isn't as black anymore. He's been moving around a little bit, but not eating anything yet. I'll keep an eye on him
