I’m no expert, but I wouldn’t worry about it too much. He might be stressed or he could be acting territorial—is there any head bobbing involved? Just leave him alone for awhile and see if he relaxes. To try and figure out if something might be stressing him, what is it like in his cage? Does...

Wow, how many accessories does he have that he needs a whole cabinet?!?!

Can you place a bowl on the scale, zero out the scale, then place him in the bowl? That is how I get my beardie’s full weight on a scale made for food. Your guy does seem too skinny for his length, but it sounds like the weighing could definitely be off. Try the bowl trick.

He eats his veggies in the mornings. And yup, his energy and activity levels seem fine. He seems fine in general—it’s just his poop that worries me. Here are some pics of him! Today: Today: Today: First day I got him:

So Beau has been with me for 3 weeks now. He came from a rescue and is an adult male at almost 18 inches long—I’m unsure how old he is. When I first got him, he has diarrhea on day one, then his poo hardened up enough that I decided to wait a bit before taking him to the vet. It has still been...

My little man Beau is looking a lot healthier than when I brought him home from the rescue three weeks ago. His color is changing from a moldy looking dark brownish grey into what is either a light “about to shed” tone with spots of very rich brown where he has already shed or simply a sandy...

I think he will survive. I mostly keep snakes, and sometimes it’s necessary to stress them out to get things done. If your guy isn’t showing signs of stress, he’s probably a-okay, and even if it did stress him out to wake up early, I’m sure falling back asleep maybe him feel better. ;) Stress is...

Hey Cooper, I’m not sure that he is enjoying the higher temps. He has been sitting mid cage gaping instead of over to the right where the basking lamp is. Is it possible 101-104 is too high considering that he is an adult?

I am no expert (a total newbie), but I assume you guys checked that she wasn’t breathing? They can wait a long time between breaths, but they DO have to breathe. If she wasn’t breathing at all, she was not alive. Also, I believe beardies can be woken up pretty easily from brumation (no...

Thanks Cooperdragon! He actually went back and ate the rest of his salad after realizing that scratching at the glass front of his home wasn’t going to make Daddy give him any more roaches than he’d had already, so that’s good! I also replaced the bulb with a 100 watt and the basking area is up...
