She passed away yesterday. Probably only an hour after I spoke to you. My fiancé got home and picked her up and she was still alive, and blinked at him. He put her back gently and a few minutes later she moved on. Thank you for trying. At least she is at peace now.

Thanks for your concern. I've desperately struggled with this the past half an hour but I will buy a new UVB. One way or another I will survive, she needs it more. I haven't seen her today since this morning (nearly 10 hours ago). But i'll be home in about an hour. First thing I will do is...

I'll try my best to get a new UVB but at the moment the best I can do is natural sunlight every Saturday and Sunday. As for the calcium, I cant up the calcium cause she is not eating. She does not eat by herself and she does not swallow anything from the syringe.

Hi guys, I have an 8 year old female bearded dragon. She is severely underweight and dehydrated. Mostly it is my fault, since I have not given as much food as I should have, and I should have recognized her dilemma. All that put aside. I need to help her. She is really severely emaciated...

Okay important that you get him a UVB light. Sand is not good for them as it causes impaction.

These are the only ones i could get my hands on. Those were when i just got him when he was kept on gravel. Both my dragons are kept on astroturf.

Hi thanks for replying. Okay, the uvb bulb is about 19 inches from the cage floor. It has no mesh or wire or plastic or anything between it and Dante. He has a perch onto which he can climb to get closer to the light, but he wont be able to touch it. I should mention that I live in South...

Hi guys I need advice. I have a male dragon, approx. 3 years old. He came to me about 2 years ago. He was a rather thin dragon. He was only fed pellets, and only had a sunglo compact bulb. Firstly, he's been living in a large terrarium, 10.0 reptisun bulb, about 3 months in use. He has an...

Too adorable for words

Thanks for your reply Ziggy. I know what you mean, it is hard to turn away other reptiles. And yes, it makes me sad to think that I cant save them all. Cant hurt to dream big though. Im definitely going to do my homework on the long term and short term housing and shelter. Taking care of...

That's a great idea Jamiedog. I'll let you know what i manage. And thanks to everyone for the support on this idea. You wont believe when I tell you that all my family and friends think Ive gone mad. They think it's a complete waste of time and money. So not getting much support on the...

@ Erick I agree with you, it seems like a neverending battle since there are no rules or laws prohibiting sale or even setting a standard for husbandry. But Ive found that there are people that are willing to take them in like you and me and wckdbtch, the three of us live in 3 separate...

Hi guys Apart from my own 2 babies, ive rescued another girl from neglected conditions. No heat, no UVB, no meat, and only carrots for veggies. My problem right now is space. Funds I have (to take care of them i mean), but to buy them in the first place, and buying the initial cage setup and...

They are adorable. My newest addition has such a belly. :D
