    Possible respiratory infection????

    no, no other signs. He's been sleeping and hiding under his log for about the past week and a half, and his appetite has decreased. Kinda strange since he recently woke up from a 3-4mo brumation (that's why i moved him into a new viv with new substrate.. to kinda give him a present for waking up...

    Possible respiratory infection????

    Hello Everyone, and thank you for taking the time to read this!!! About 6 weeks ago I switched my beardie to a larger viv, and also switched his substrate. He was on carpet, and I moved him to a 30gal breeder w/ crushed walnut bedding. I already know about the concerns with the walnut and...

    Blood in Stool

    Hi Tracie, you helped me before with my little guy "domino".. No, he doesn't look like he's lost any weight.. the only thing i've noticed is his colors aren't as vibrant as usual, but aside from that he's acting normal.

    Blood in Stool

    There's a similar topic already, but my situation seems to be a bit different. My beardie recently woke from brumation about a week ago.. He hasn't really eaten in 3 months, and 2 days ago he ate for the first time.. i got him to eat some banana, and about 2doz crickets.. his heat lamp blew...

    To cut or not to cut nails????

    hey.. just a FYI.. check out the Habitat for Humanity Restore. I got ceramic tiles there for $.05/each, and got some other supplies and everything totaled like $10 or so. Check their store locator to find one in your town or close by. http://www.habitat.org/env/restores.aspx

    Biting or nipping.

    Are Dragon bites painful?? My guy has bit me, but never in self defense. only when i'm hand feeding, and even then it's rare and not very hard. He's a very docile, and laid back dragon. You could try to put a shirt you've worn for the day in his tank. Your dragon will get used to your scent...

    Hookworm, roundworm, AND coccidia......

    the Acidophillz is fine unrefrigerated until you open the bottle. Once you open the bottle, and expose the cultures to air, then you must refrigerate it to keep the cultures dormant.

    Hookworm, roundworm, AND coccidia......

    yes, you have to give him the Silver Water Orally. If you go to a pharmacy, and ask for a 1.0ml syringe they will usually give you a few for free, but they may charge you. Even then the syringes shouldn't be more than $0.50 a piece or so. How did your dragon get mites? Did he come with them or...

    Hookworm, roundworm, AND coccidia......

    oh yea.. and as far as cleaning your tank.. Clean thoroughly and often. What substrate are you using?? I would recommend for now using paper towels or even newspaper. As far as cleaning products, all I ever use is Rubbing Alcohol, it's cheap, and will kill everything!!! Also the alcohol will...

    Hookworm, roundworm, AND coccidia......

    I would try to give your beardie Colloidal silver Water and Acidophillz. 1. the Silver Water is a natural antiseptic, so you don't have to worry about over dosing. You can find it at most health food stores. A bottle will run you about $15 though, but it will last you a very long time if you...
