OK, so I separated my beardies about 2 months ago because I wanted to be on the safe side. Baltumins got the old 40 gallon tank, and I saved up and bought Mazais a smaller tank. I got an exoterra tank that's 24" by 18" by 12". It is pretty small, I admit, but Mazais is smaller than average (and...

They aren't together, I separated them just in case. But, they where just in the tank together for a few minutes. The red light is just for the evenings! They do have a UVB light, and a white household bulb, too. :mrgreen:

Just another picture of them snuggling together: http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p677/Mazaisbaltumins/image_zpsfaf7c8d8.jpg

Good news, Mazais is eating insects again! She still isn't eating greens by herself, but she's showing improvements! :D :D :D

Oh, and by the way, I got the results back today. They are negative for parasites. :D

How can you tell if beardies are stressed? She doesn't have any stress marks or anything. And from now on, I will take advice from nicer people. Like my friend, who owns 4 beardies, and a reptile shop that he has owned for 36 years. He also helped me treat my budgie for scaly mites, and now...

First off, I feed them separately, so nobody can hog food. I also turn the red heat bulb off at night. I just prefer red heat bulbs over white ones. And they are almost a year old. And yes, they are a little small for their age. Make that very small. But that's because first off, they BOTH...

Why isn't the environment appropriate? It's a 40 gal tank, a basking rock, newspaper as substrate, food bowl, water bowl, repti hammock, hide, heat bulb, UVA bulb, (since the red heat bulb doesn't give out much UVA) 2 repti suns, right temps. I think it's a appropriate environment! Do you think...

A few days ago I decided to let the beardies swim around in the tub. Baltumins was horrible at swimming. (No offence to him)! And Mazais is great at it. Anyway, I put a fake rock on one end of the tub, and put the beardies on the opposite side. Baltumins had a hard time getting anywhere, and, of...

Baltumins has those too! But they aren't that big.

Or there is some kind of viruse/disease going around. :( :cry:

But of course parasites are a possibility too. Mine most likely have parasites too, (I'm waiting for the results of the fecal exam), but they aren't lethargic or acting weird or anything... They just have smelly and kinda loose stools. And one of them isn't eating as much as usual.

That's weird, and I hope somebody more knowledgeable chimes in. Because I've only had dragons for a year now, so I'm not an expert... :?

Oh, the large white one is prob the heat bulb. But you also need to get a repti sun 10.0. ASAP! I just read that coil bulbs cause eye problems, and don't give out enough UVB to prevent MBD. :(

I brought the poop to the vet for a fecal today, I should be getting results tommorow. :D Oh, and please reply! Only one person replied!
