My bearded dragon swallowed a loom band a few days ago. We took him to the vet and they said he would be fine as long as he pooped it out. He hasn't pooped since, and he is now lethargic and we think he may have thrown up this morning. Is he okay? What can we do?

1) He's about 14 inches long 2) I pet him every day and hand feed him 3) No, he's perfect

I've had my bearded dragon for about three months, and hes grown a lot since we first got him! When I first got him, he was terrified of me and would beard whenever I went to interact with him. That really put me off wanting to handle him. Now, he is very comfortable with my hand and allows me...

Tonight when his lights went off he got a black beard again. It probably was because I was sat watching him to see what happened. I’m going to start feeding crickets in a separate container to prevent any hitch hikers in the future.

I have a reoccurring issue with crickets remaining in my beardie's cage and chirping all night, so when I saw one perched on a log, despite the fact that my beardie's lights had been off for an hour, I turned them on for a few minutes so that I could grab the cricket. The noise and light roused...

He just finished his shed yesterday. I was bathing him to help with the shed, so I think I'll stop for a while. I feed him all of his vegetables and fruits by hands, would that work instead of his crickets?

I posted previously on here about my beardie Archie's stress marks, and they've since disappeared! :) But, another behavior has emerged that I am fearful about. I have had Archie for 3 weeks now, and for the first few weeks, he was fine when I tried to pick him up. But on those occasions, I gave...

Thanks for the advice! Raised the lamp up a few inches, now its probably 10 inches away from the basking spot. I used the ZooMed Reptisun UVB light, don't know if that's the exact name but it's pretty widely used.

Basking spot (the hammock) is 110-115 on average, the lamp is exactly 8 inches away from it. Cool side is 75-80 degrees. Warm side (under the basking spot/climbing area) is 95 last time I checked the thermometer.

Hi, I'm a new beardie owner and I've had my boy (Archie) for almost a week, it will be a week tomorrow. He has been awesome so far, he eats like a horse. His favorites are crickets and dandelion greens. He's had spots on his belly since I got him, and I can't tell if they are stress marks or...
