Phew, bet you're glad they weren't fertile, at least you don't have to worry about the stress of finding them new homes.

If you want to pick him up you use both hands. First you slide one hand from the front of him under his belly (you may have to try several times if he's not used to you) then you support his back legs and tail with your other hand. If you don't support his tail it's very frightening for him...

Looks like a beardie to me. Even if she is small for her age as long as she's eating fine and healthy (which she looks to be) no worries.

Sorry for your loss xx

I'm 99% sure that's shedding because of him scratching his body like a dog xD they display that behaviour when shedding.

Yeah I realise I probably should have posted in the feeders section. I think I might wait until I can afford more after I have ordered these so it takes less time for them to breed. (they are hard to find and kind of expensive for me). I only have 1 bd though. Couldn't I just mist the enclosure...

How long will I have to wait before I can start breeding them? Also any tips on husbandry? thanks

Ah thank you put my mind at rest! I think the stress marks may in part be due to the noise in the bathroom.

Well I bathed him and he drank so much, Wow. I only bathed him last week but I think I'll do it more often (haven't had much of a chance cause we're having the upstairs bathroom and walls of the house done). Here's pics Haha I'm wondering if I'm just being paranoid but I do worry about him...

Edit - it was a screamer link (may have been an accident) but they changed it :)

I feel kinda guilty I hardly use it lately because he hasn't been eating, I don't dust his salad but I normally dust his food. On the plus side I took his hide out today and put a hotter bulb in (100w) and the temp rose to 37c. He managed to stay awake/bask till about 3 then he went back to...

My vet said the set up was fine but here I go. He is over 1 years old was born around 21th nov 2011 Had him since end of feb last year Male (2bumps) 40gallon with sliding doors repti carpet (lol wanted tiles but mum too lazy to buy em) uvb is reptiglo 10% fluorescent tube , needs replacing in...

I'm having the same problem :(

I'm new to beardies so obviously worried, he started going down towards the end of august and was eating less and less. Well since september he has barely eaten and is stubbornly sleeping in his hide. I've been taking him out once a week or so for baths and offering him crickets but he still...

Ok I'm going to start off by saying that Scooch hasn't been the most active beardie, or the hungriest and definitely not the fattest. Everytime I take him to the vet though there is nothing wrong with him or his set up, and even though he only ate 6 superworms/crickets every other day (at 10...
