When mine glass dances (usually in the morning) I put her in the bathroom until she poops. It's easier to clean bathroom tile than rug or bed linens.

Hi! I'm pretty inexperienced myself so take my advice with a grain of salt. Don't worry about him not liking his bath - mine hates it. He won't dehydrate overnight either. Try misting his veggies. I know I'm pretty sluggish after a big meal, he may be too. The important thing is that he...

Do you have a permit for that goldfish? Seriously, they seemed a little alarmist about the whole transmitting of diseases to humans. I had heard about PETA being against pets of all kinds but I had no idea about ASPCA.

Wow.

What little info the ASPCA had did seem to suggest reptiles aren't the best pets however, I thought the legal stuff might make for an interesting link.

Has anyone gone to the ASPCA website? There's a link for reporting animal abuse and a small section about exotic pets. There's also access to each state's laws regarding the exotic pet trade. Just a thought: when communicating reptiles' mistreatment, maybe stress that while these creatures...

Hi! According to my vet, the basking light should be in the center. He said they naturally bask out in the open but seek shelter in rocks, etc. So in the tanks, the perimeters are their safe spots. It made sense to me the way he explained it. So the basking site is really hot, one side of...

I've been through chemo also and have cared for parents on chemo. As long as everyone practices good hygiene she's prob fine with holding your dragon. If it makes her feel better, she can hold dragon with a towel or blanket between them. No dragon kisses! Your mom has more of a chance...

Yes I do. Her last fecal came back positive for parasites, but improved from the first fecal. She's getting an increased course of antibiotics & will be tested in another 2 weeks.

6-7 month old female. I'm treating her for parasites - she's due back to vet Jan 27. I'm hoping to re-home her with someone who knows what they're doing - not someone clueless like me. I'm afraid if I adopt through Petsmart or Petco she may not get placed in a better situation. I'm in New Jersey

I have a female (I think) dragon, 6-7 months old. Docile & alert. Treating for parasite infection; due for fecal reexam in 2 weeks. Otherwise healthy & we may be biased, but she's beautiful too. Unfortunately, we can't provide the kind of care she deserves. She's about 10 inches long &...

It was the first I'd heard of it too. Thanks for your input!

My vet tells me my tank should have 3 temperature zones: one side about 80 degrees (cool), one side about 85 degrees (warm), and the center for the basking light about 100 degrees. Right now my beardie is in a 20 gallon & I think its too small for three zones, but when I upgrade to a bigger...

Oh no, so so sorry! Jen

I think our little guy is less than a year. I'm assuming he's a he. Desi (short for desert) but sometimes I call him Desi-loooooooooo LOVE the Seinfeld & Farscape names!
