No, Lucifer is the curly one. I just recently found him a loving home (: He will be so spoiled and happy.

My bearded dragon came out of brumation recently and she has been pacing every day and eating as much as she can. When I gave her a bath the other day I noticed some round bumps in her abdomen. Thinking maybe she was going to lay some infertile eggs, I went out and bought some organic potting...

Hello, my bearded dragon has been brumating as well and she recently woke up! It seems like she has so much energy she doesn't know what to do with it all. She has been pacing around her cage like mad, and I felt some bumps in her abdomen while I was bathing her so I'm thinking maybe she's going...

Olive oil mixed with baby food helps too, but it only takes a few drops so don't be too generous with the oil. (: Can you tell us what the temperatures are and what brand and type of UVB light you're using?

I don't know what to say other than to keep massaging that beardie and keep giving it olive oil. ): I heard applesauce works wonders too.

You know I really didn't do anything except keep my fingers away from their faces. They grew out of it as they got older and realized there was a bigger being attached to the hand. Just watch your beardie and pull your hand away from his face if he looks like he's about to bite. It might help to...

Can you tell us what the temperatures are in the hot and cool ends of the cage? What are you using to take these temperatures? (stick on, digital, etc.) I don't think it is harmful for a beardie to eat their own poo, but it is unusual. Usually my beardies run from their poo like it's a monster...

Awww ): Poor babies. Hopefully the people who are in charge of reptiles don't get all defensive when you tell them about the proper care. Good luck, and let us know what happens!

You could ask the owner if they have been wanting to find a home for the chinese water dragon. If they're not trying to sell it and they're only keeping it for the kids, I would suggest finding a reptilian vet and/or breeder around you because most people respect their opinions on reptile care...

Have you ever hand fed your beardie?? See, I used to hand feed mine in an attempt to tame her but she ended up thinking my fingers were food and bit me a few times. :?

Well, Lucifer has filled out quite a bit and his color is looking better every day. His strength has been improving as now he is able to move/drag himself to different areas of his cage to regulate his temperatures on his own. I also noticed that Lucifer has a stronger grip on my fingers when I...

Have you cleaned your beardie's cage yet? Mites can hide in wood and other furniture you might have in your beardie's house so it's best to clean everything and bake the wooden items. I'm not sure how often you should be cleaning the cage if there are mites, but I would suggest daily if you can...

Unfortunately this isn't a good story. While I believe pet store employees truly care about their reptiles, they simply just don't know how to take care of them and would seem to trust a store manual over people who have successfully raised beardies. I haven't had beardies for long, only about a...

Sorry that this happened to you and your beardie, but try not to worry all that much as it has only been one day. (: I have noticed that it takes beardies a little longer to poo when they eat lots of mealworms so don't be upset if your little one doesn't go to the bathroom right away. Do keep...

Well I looked through some old topics and I guess it's normal for females to mount other females to show dominance. Still not sitting in that seat for a while. :P
