Thank you for your help. I wouldn't be as concerned if the spots didn't seem painful for him.

So my boy Bell has had some black irregular scales for a while now. I've been told by other beardie owners that it's most likely just blemishes or beardie acne? I had hoped that they would dissappear or at least look better after a shed or two but they haven't. Recently I have noticed a couple...

Would these be sufficient? I've been using these bulbs and lamp(in link) for a while now and would like to know if I should upgrade. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09S6D1W8N/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A33WYWRIZYD03J&psc=1

Any thoughts on using a mercury vapor bulb for when he's sitting in the window?

Hello and thank you in advance for your help. I have a 2 year old beardie named Bell. I have been using the arcadia 14% dragon 34" uvb bulb for the past few months. I realize that most most people advise putting the uvb inside the enclosure (which in this case is Dubia.com 4x2x2 pvc) and I...

So I've been keeping my roaches in a cricket keeper with oatmeal as substrate. Naturally they eat this as well as the food I give them. My question is this; is this going to cause any ill effects down the road? I know it's better to gutload your feeders with what you would want your beardie to...

Looks like he enjoys splashing in his baths. My Bell splashes and swims too. Sometimes I'll think he wants out because he will go and go at one corner of the tub, but then when I take him out he crawls right back in.

This is Bell. He will be 2 in May. He absolutely loves looking out the window. (He only got to sit like this while i was watching him)

What is Paradox? My beardie has some slightly darker splotches that occasionally get more or less difficult to see. If he's really happy colors they seem to disappear. Also is it normal for beardies to get colored outlines around their scales?

Very true. My main concern regarding stuck shed was that he had a scale on his tail that was hanging partially off for over a week. It was a very thick scale. Thicker than any he has shed before. At first I thought it was a full healthy scale that he was loosing but I could see the replacement...

Unfortunately life is rarely that simple. Even with proper husbandry a dragon can still get sick. Having been bred in captivity for generations, bearded dragons have developed a predisposition towards illnesses and conditions that their wild counterparts don't generally have. For instance...

I have Zilla.

So I've recently been looking into products to help my beardie shed. Does shed ease work? The directions say to mix 10ml per 16oz of water, but what happens if you use more than that? Is it going to hurt him if it's too highly concentrated or will it just penetrate easier? Also could i mix it in...

I honestly don't know if it's bad or not. I wave at my beardie all the time. He definitely notices and he seems to accept it as reassurance.

Hey Bell just turned 1 too! I've never weighed him but last I measured he was 20-24 inches already. His stool is always pretty smelly haha. He is kind of potty trained. He doesn't like to poop in his enclosure (which is great for me less clean up). I just have to follow him around with a paper...
