I'm sorry but this really made me laugh. :lol: These crazy dragons! I too like to keep a clean viv. We are fortunate enough to have an extra bathroom so our beardie basically has his own tub :roll: where he bathes and I clean his "furniture." I rinse everything off really well under the tap in...

Hi everyone. Its been a while since I posted. Beans is still around. He doesn't do much, but then, he never really has (we adopted him three years ago; I'm guessing he's at least 6 by now but possibly older). Which is why I'm not much of a poster here, he is very consistently healthy and easy...

Hi there. Congrats on your new addition! We just adopted a leo last week (4 days to be exact) and I am so worried about her. Its hard going from a beardie that you know so well to this new little creature with totally different needs! I wish I'd had time to do research on leos before getting...

Hi again! I have to say, I love your beardie photos. Your dragon looks so happy and healthy! And I laughed & laughed at the most recent ones of her "standing" totally vertical. So adorable!!! I'm not really concerned with Beans' weight. The vet said for his size, his weight was just fine. His...

I just had to comment and say this is the cutest thing ever!! LOL! Thank you for sharing the adorable photos. I can't wait to get my beardie out in the yard! How do you trust your beardie not to run away? Mine would bolt like a maniac but we just tried out a harness and he didn't mind it so we...

Hi Fred! I see you haven't posted here in a while, but I've been away for a while and was catching up, and your post title caught my eye so I read through all the replies. I love how much you care about your beardie growing and thriving. And wow am I ever jealous of Tonya's giant beardies!!! I...

Beans is 16" long and weighs 325 grams. He's a petite little guy but super healthy. He's seemed OK with his tank so far; when we got him I redid the whole thing and bought some pavers and logs and built up a good basking spot since he basically had nothing other than a half log hide - the people...

Hi there. This is probably a really dumb question. But here goes. We inherited our beardie from some friends. He's been in a bad tank his whole life: 2 feet tall, 4 feet wide, but only a foot deep. Poor guy. He's tiny for his age. I've been searching Craigslist for months looking for an Exo...

Thank you for posting this. I called my local Petco and they are running this sale also, thru April 12. We inherited a beardie & his tank from a friend and I've been scouring Craigslist ever since looking for a different tank. The tank we got is only 12" deep and our beardie is tiny for his age...

Hi there. Our beardie came to us with serious poop problems. He'd only go about once every five days and it was always diarrhea. Super gross and smelly .. and he'd fart these huge bubbly farts :lol: (which my boys thought was HILARIOUS) and ugh ..... it was awful, honestly. Come to find out...

Hi there. Have you read the article about brumation? You can find it in the sidebar --> It could be the shed causing the lethargy, but it could be brumation. Of course it could be any number of things as well :lol: I'm a newbie too, isn't it stressful?! Anyway I'd start by reading the...

Thanks. I plan to bathe him today; he always poops in the bath! I'm fine with no bugs while brumating. I would honestly rather he just lay low the entire time, instead of getting up every few days to eat and be crazy for half the day. But obviously I'll let him do what he wants :lol:

Thank you! I'll be so lonely if he goes down for months like yours - but I admit it is fun to see them all snuggled up cozy being spoiled and lazy! :lol: Although he's driving me crazy now. Saturday afternoon I couldn't take it anymore. I took him out to weigh him. He was sooo drowsy that...

Hi there! Just wanted to say, your babies are so cute! And you are so lucky to have a beardie-loving husband, lol :) I wish mine was into beardies, he thinks I am a huge weirdo and basically tolerates our little guy - he's never held him or anything, just petted him on occasion. *sigh* Sounds...

What a cutie!!!!
