I've had beardies for quite some time now, and I rescue them frequently. I now have an adult female (previously housed with a male before I got her) that just finished laying some infertile eggs. I have bred (a different female) once before, so I know they are not fertile. But after she was done...

I think I remember mine having that too. I think they are just from the sand. We had 27 healthy babies hatch later. :)

I just used a plain old chicken egg incubator and kept it at 84 degrees F. I used very moist vermiculite with perlite on top so the eggs had the vermiculite underneath them (which holds moisture) but the perlite is better at wicking away moisture so it kept little droplets from forming on the...

Has your male and female both burmated once already? They need to burmate at least once before breeding (and wait until they get back up to weight in the spring after burmation) It is usually easier to breed in spring when everyone is more energetic. I would maybe wait until the female gains 100...

You guys are awesome. It's great to hear about a 6' rule. Another question I just thought of though. How about for shipping? They probably have to be bigger and hardier for that right? Any recommendations on that?

So we have one clutch that started with 30 eggs - now down to 27 that all hatched around august 3-5. We are probably going to end up selling most of them but I'm just curious how soon should we sell them? Is there a certain size? weight? number of weeks etc. All 27 seem very healthy, active and...

My beardie is probably about 5-6 months old. I got her in july I believe. She's always been quite small but we have had some trouble with her. I took her into the vet this past friday and they said she had some calcium deficiency (which was strange because we fed her the same way we fed my other...

I was dusting for all the feelings previosuly

I was giving calcium everyday and have cut back some since this event thinking it could be too much. I have no idea how she could have gotten injured.

I just got her UVB a couple of days ago. I have been taking her out for natural sun as well. We'll try to take a fecal sample. Thanks. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

At first I thought it was impaction but she has been pooping regularly. She won't eat more than one tiny roach in one sitting and hasn't been using her back legs for about 3 days.... I have no idea what's wrong. She seems pretty normal other than that. I've been on this forum for a long time. I...

I've still been trying to feed her. She will eat no more than one roach at a time. And a few licks of the applesauce mixture before she tries to run away. It's day 3 and I've seen no signs of improvement. She has pooped twice in the past 3 days but she's still not using here legs.... Does that...

No the roaches are about as long as the width between her eyes. They are very tiny. about the size of a small stud earring.

So we did some applesauce with a little olive oil and a smidge of vitamin powder. She wasn't into chasing crickets this evening. She was moving the toes on her left foot now, so that is a slight improvement. We'll see how a good night's sleep and the full 10.0 UVB do for her and let you know...
