So I've been struggling with basking bulbs, they all seem to be blowing out within a couple days. I've been buying them from my local pet shop, which I think is why they're not great. So are there any online and what brand or type lasts a while? I'm really tired of buying bulbs once a week and...

I have been feeding crickets as a staple to my beardies, theyre not convenient to get. They are a dollar a dozen, half of them die anyways, they stink, they jump. And i hate them. Suggestions on sites that can ship some live feeders to me? Silkworms, pheonix worms, black soldier fly larva...

Looks like another vet visit ?. The swelling has been present since probably the beginning of this whole process which was right after new years. Drako has been drinking fluids every single day, and i try to give him a bath every day. I dont have to force water cause normally he glass dances...

Tank setup from front view. UVB fixture is right in front of the basking lamp All different angles of his knees. I tried to get close ups as best I could with my phone. There is definitely skin showing between the scales and not much movement in or outward by the knee joints. As I...

Hello again all! Finally able to find some time to post some pics. Drako is currently swimming around in the new tub, which really is just a cat litter tray. (Not ever used for cat litter, bought from store, washed and now hes swimming) it's the perfect size for him to swim and i dont have to...

Thats a very good point about too much calcium. But he has a calcium gluconate NOT a glubionate. The vet suggested I try to find some since it's now over the counter and you don't need a prescription. He did say a glubionate would be better and show faster results. I did buy a glubionate but...

Hello all, To jump right in, it's been on ongoing battle with my lil man Drako. (Who is to my guess about 8-9 months old now) He has a calcium deficiency but doesn't have full blown MBD based on xrays from my vet. His symptoms started with not eating or moving from his basking spot, to gradual...

Hello! So sorry to hear your beardie is getting aggresive. I'm not quite sure when Beardies are considered "teenagers", but I'd imagine close to that age. Correct me if I'm wrong. I've heard these comparisons before, but compare her to a moody teenager "I hate you MOM!" Lol. With patience and...

Finally able to get back on here! What a heart warming story and I'm thankful experienced owners like yourself are able to rescue beardies from those types of situations. I thought I had done plenty of research into how to care for him. The things I had read in the beginning all said that the...

Hello again all! Drako is still showing improvement! Doc suggested a calcium glubionate supplement instead of my calcium gluconate. He said it would show better results faster than the supplement he gave me. I ordered some from Austral Gecko as it was really all I could find for reptiles. The...
