Thanks for the reply! No heat rocks in her "room". There's nothing she could have injured herself on either, she just seemed to have a scab there out of nowhere. I did pick up Lamisil the other day.

I had posted this in health, but nobody seems to have any thoughts/opinions on it, maybe this will be the place to put this? My beardie girl, Saffire, got this lesion on her left side. Started with a scab, took her in to the vet. They removed the scab and did a culture. Vet didn't know what it...

It's been quite a while since I've been on the forum. Anyway, my beardie girl, Saffire, got this lesion on her left side. Started with a scab, took her in to the vet. They removed the scab and did a culture. Vet didn't know what it is, but said it was not fungal and that further biopsy would be...

It's not uncommon for little beardies to go through an adjustment period. Here's the basics, getting your setup correct is the most important thing - everything after that is just having fun with your beardie. Our little guy was a bit skittish at first as well. I would take him out about half...

I've taken picture of puppies in a food dish - but this is my first beardie baby in one: Squirt by Karbitpoodles, on Flickr

Thanks! I thought that outdoor cage was perfectly safe, guess the hormones were stronger. Needless to say, Jasper now goes out alone, then the 2 bigger girls go out after he's back in the house. We were just going to get our feet wet a bit and put our 2 adult leopard geckos together a week ago...

After our little Topaz had gone missing from the outdoor enclosure, I've only been putting our sub-adults outside. It's a 4' x 4' cage, and we put a solid divider down the middle, so that 2 at a time could enjoy the sunshine. I came out this afternoon to do rotation and there are Jasper and...

Our Topaz went missing from his outdoor enclosure a week ago. Silly me, I had left him in there while my daughter and I went to a BBQ. It was such a nice, sunny day and the forecast for the next couple wasn't very good. Came home 3 hours later - no Topaz. Looked everywhere, had a bunch of...

Thanks! Squirt got weighed today - tipped the scale at 3 grams, but that was before he ate another 5 dubia. He ate a total of 13 for the day.

Meet Squirt - this is the tiniest thing I've ever had. Only 4 1/2 inches from nose to tail, my daughter's raffle prize from last nights anniversary meeting of the Reno Herpetological Society. I think we're off to a successful start, I just happened to have an 18 inch ReptiSun 10.0 (made a...

I made some platforms for the swap meet of the Herpetological Society. Didn't have any takers for a couple, so Topaz got a new rock. I think he's quite happy with it: New rock! by Karbitpoodles, on Flickr New rock! by Karbitpoodles, on Flickr I just love his colors coming in: Topaz by...

Is there anything between the ReptiSun and Sammie - like a screen? Made that mistake with my first beardie, I had placed the UVB on top of the screen, not knowing it filtered out about 50% of the UVB. My Topaz went off food in January. I happened to still have carnivore care, so gave him that...

Jasper got to go to my daughter's softball game yesterday - I got swarmed with kids! Today was Earth Day celebration here in town and Saffire got to go. People think the beardies are just cool and give me a great opportunity to help educate and point the to bd.org.

Check out the outdoor enclosure we made. I had this puppy pen with raised floor (never used it with the raised floor for puppies, just to keep one of my moms from carrying her kids off and hiding them in various places). We put some plywood down on that, covered with non-adhesive shelf liner...

Spyro is across the room from Jasper, but is still pretty shy. He doesn't come out during the day, and by the evening, when his nose peeks out of his hide (looking if there's any dubia yet), Jasper is headed off to bed. Jasper is in a fiberglass tank and Topaz is right next to him. He can't see...
