My fascination was (and is) with frogs actually. I used to catch them when I was younger and put them in my pockets :? My daughter is the one who introduced me to beardies. When she was three, she became fascinated with everything dinosaur. As she got older, her interest in prehistoric reptiles...

Well the mysterious cause of Elsie's lack of appetite is...a shed :D Her head is in shed, so I figure she'll be coming around and regaining her appetite as soon as she finishes her shed. Thanks for all of the help :)

Just put the UV light in about 3 weeks ago. It is a ReptiSun 10.0 tube. From what I hear on here, they are the best.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not right." Her size seems good to me, she is plump and healthy looking. She has a large tail nip if you are referring to her length and she has quintupled in weight since we got her in March. Her last shed was around a month ago. I am checking her weight regularly...

She is free of parasites. She weighs about 8.5 oz and is 13.5" long with a tail nip. She is in a 4ft X 18" aquarium with paper towels for a substrate. She has a brand new 18" ReptiSun UV bulb and a 45 watt basking light with a temp of between 100-115. I don't think there is any problem with her...

I got her in March so she is approx 7 mos old

So how early can brumation start? I have a juvie who has never brumated before, but she is beginning to show some signs. Still healthy looking and loving her baths, but has become lazy and decided she only wants to eat once or twice a week. No weight loss or anything like that, just seems really...

Yeah...If only :D

OK my daughter's birthday is coming up and she wants a bearded dragon cake. I found a really neat way to make a beardie image and put it on a cake, the problem is I need a fairly simple drawing of a beardie and I am artistically challenged :( Would anyone out there be willing to draw me a simple...

Our male beardie, who is almost 4 years old, seems to be very hormonal. He keeps black bearding, waving and bobbing very frequently :? We have a juvie female, but they cannot see each other and their cages are located one on top of the other. I guess my question is, can the males sense the...

I wouldn't worry until he has had some time to adjust to his new home. Could just be him trying to get used to his new viv. I'd give him three or four days and watch his diet. I think when he gets settled in, he'll be fine :)

Beardie has taken a spell where he blacks, bobs and waves all the time. The strange thing is he does it at absolutely nothing :? Has anyone noticed this behavior with their dragons?

:( Let me know what you find out. If it helps any, the vet told me to increase basking temp to 125*. She said it would give Elsie's immune system a boost so she could fight the infection.

One caution...my daughter slept with our Ella for quite some time. One night, my daughter must have been sleeping restlessly and Ella ended up underneath her. Unfortunately, Ella didn't survive :cry: The point I'm trying to make is, I wouldn't recommend co-sleeping unless there is some sort of...

The contact solution did the trick. Her eyes both look great and she's eating very well. Thanks for the resources :D
