I'm trying but she appears to be as moody as a 13year old girl. "Take me out" "Put me back" "Feed me! But not THAT." "Do NOT put your hand in here!". Where's my food!!". She's so spoiled ? but I love her

Cheddar is back! She's pretty moody too and up to 14.5 oz. 19 1/2". She is doing a bit of glass surfing, but eating well, pooping, and she's active. So it appears that I have a brumating bearded and she is doing well.

She seems to have settled in for brumation. I'm getting her out once a week for a soak, a snack, and some basking time. She also gets her calcium suppliment. She's not loosing much weight (if any). So I think she's good.

Cheddar is doing well, I think. I turned a shoe box upside down in her enclosure as a hide and added a stone instead of a hammock for her to bask on. The temp on the stone is between 95-105* depending on where she is laying. She ate well for a few days, and pooped. Then she went into her...

We have poop!!! Of course it would happen on a holiday weekend, when I have to save the poop for the vet, but we do have it finally. Now if she wants to hide under a rock, I'll let her.

I will get a copy of the test results when I see the vet so I can show them. What does the honey do :?: I agree with not force feeding her. It just stresses her I think, and I know it is stressing me! I told the vet that she is taking her meds willingly and will eat a few roaches if I put...

Wow! You really do have quite a story to tell! I'm so new to this whole thing, and I'm always concerned I'm going to say something really stupid. I lost my first beardie Chip to the unsupervised dog and a screened enclosure. I never thought I could love a reptile, but I cried like a two year...

He looks like a happy dragon!

Got a call from the vet and Her white cell count is elevated. She said that Cheddar may have a virus she is fighting off. There are no parasites or bacteria present in x-ray or blood smear, and nothing to indicate other metabolic issues - kidney and other functions are normal. She said that...

My local Petco has the Zilla Critter Cage, 40 Gallon for sale at 50% off with petco card which would be a little over $31. In stores only.

Iceywolfie, these folks are real serious about the lighting. Since I've had Cheddar, she has suffered calcium deficiency that could have cost her her life, but with a vet we caught it quickly and she only has a tiny kink in her tail. Those reptisun bulbs are critical, and proper mounting is...

13 ounces

She ate some more dubias, but only if i take each one out and set it right in front of her. She did this when she went on her "cricket strike" and refused to eat anymore crickets. I changed her to Dubias and then added some super worms. I've ordered some horn worms, and should have them by...
