    Convincing Parents to Upgrade Enclosure Size

    Thanks. I try to let him roam for an hour or two every day in my room, sucks that it is to cold up here in PA to take him outside right now. I never knew that a 4 foot by 2 foot was the minimum...the more you know. Sadly my parents think that its "just a lizard" and that I'm spoiling it, after...

    Convincing Parents to Upgrade Enclosure Size

    I kind of feel bad for Oscar, in his 40 gallon (though he seems pretty content with it) and would like to upgrade him to a 75 gallon plywood vivarium. Before anyone posts rude comments, know that 1-I didn't ask my parents yet, 2-I will be paying for it all, as I do with anything related to my...

    Will Short Periods of cold temps harm a dragon?

    I was thinking of taking my beardie in to a church, along with some other animals, as educatiol animals and do a presentation. It is a little chilly outside though, do you think that just going from a car to a building in 50° weather would harm him? If so, would it be a good idea to not take...

    Beardie Sick? Need advice!

    Sorry for the late reply. He seems to be doing better (He ate and basked afterwards) but in case anything like this happens again.... I have a 24" reptisun 10.0 that is about a month and a half old. He is in a 40 gallon tank and roams free for about an hour a day. It is on top of the mesh lid...

    Beardie Sick? Need advice!

    My bearded dragon Oscar is acting very strange. He has been staying in his half log hide for 3 days now. Sometimes his eyes are closed and he is sleeping, and sometimes his eyes are opened up. When I take him out, instead of him exploring like he usually does, he heads into the dark (under my...

    HELP MY CHILD MAY OF INGESTED CALCIUM POWDER

    A day late, but your child probably is fine, he probably will just release all of the excess nutrients next time he goes to the bathroom. I am not an expert however, if he shows any signs of sickness or is feeling unwell contact poison control.

    Setup Help

    As I have previously posted, I recently adopted a beardie from a family that didn't want to take care of it anymore, and the setup wasn't the best. It was okay, however there were some flaws that would cause some eventual problems and health issues as well as lighting and decor issues. I have...

    Is this normal?

    Is the grey part on the tail normal, or is it a stuck shed, or what. Also, is his tail abnormally curved in a way that indicates sickness? Thanks!

    Lighting and Setup Help

    I have a bulb, its actually not coiled. The basking temp is like 105, but the cool side is room temp. Could he be staying in the cool side because the UVB is there? And also, he has baaked for like an hour or two once or twice.

    Lighting and Setup Help

    I recently adopted a beardie, and he came with a full setup and all. His basking spot is on one end of the tank (on a branch that is too small for him to fit on) and on the cool side there is a UV lamp. He just has sat under the UV lamp and hasn't moved anywhere else in the tank. Like he has...
