    Broken nail

    Thank you! I thought I remembered you could use betadine, but I wasn't sure. I wasn't aware of the bacitracin. So, thank you. And no loose substrate for our guy. He's a modern lizard with slate and pergo flooring! Lol!

    Almost 1 year old bearded will not eat her greens

    Does she have a UV light? Ours did that. He's a bit over a year. Then I remembered I hadn't changed his UV bulb for awhile. I changed it out and he started eating better! You may try that. :D

    Broken nail

    Hi! Our dragon Slick is a little over a year old. My son (who is 10) had him out hanging out which he does daily. Apparently, when my son attempted to put him back in his cage, he clung to the screen (which he always does). My son said when he tried to get him off the top screen, Slick jumped...

    Almost a year old now!

    I do throw in all kinds of veggies from time to time. I've recently stopped, he just doesn't eat them. He was on a butternut squash kick for awhile. But now he will only eat the leafy greens. I've tried green beans, green peppers, different kinds of squash, ect. But no... We can't go outside...

    beardies not eating

    They may be adjusting. Sometimes it takes a week or so to adjust. Also, can they see each other? Sometimes that is an issue as well.

    Gray tail

    Yes. Once. Just like the last inch and a half of his tail. It seemed to be on there forever! The toothbrush trick worked for me!

    Gray tail

    You can put him in the bath and get a soft baby toothbrush. I found just going over it with the soft bristles in a circular motion will help loosen the shed a bit. Don't scrub though. And, don't peel it off. :D

    Almost a year old now!

    Hi all! Slick will be a year old next month. Just wanted to check in to make sure he's still on track. He's a big boy. About 22" long now.(he was 4" when we got him). Unsure of his weight. He has transitioned a lot these past months. He used to eat 700 crickets a week when he was around 5-6...

    Turning off his own light

    He's still a bit young to be brumating I think. He's only 7 mo.

    Turning off his own light

    Yes. It's the only light he can reach. He's still doing it. I just haven't been able to catch him on video yet!

    Turning off his own light

    So, I bought Slick a new reptisun 10.0 tube bulb about a week ago because his old one was 6 mo. old. I changed it in his tank while he was in there. The next day, I noticed the light was off. I adjusted the tube and it came back on. This happened a couple moe times. Then one day when I was...

    Odd behavior for my usually sweet and piggish dragon

    No. He's actually doing a bit better. He's not eating nearly as much as he was though.
