This is more of a vent than anything, but I’m just so frustrated with my vet. I rescued my bearded dragon in April of last year. I went over to a coworkers house, saw him in an absolutely pitiful condition, and I ended up taking him home the next day knowing nothing about reptiles. Essentially...

I’ll be grabbing some type of stone slab tonight. Thank you!

I will definitely try the coconut oil, thank you! I am not confident in my ability to squeeze them out. From what I’ve read, they are close to major blood vessels and I could hurt him. I would feel so bad after I just got him to a good place with his health. If they need to be squeezed, I’ll...

hi! So I’ve had my buddy Oslo (2, M) since April 2022 and we’ve been through many, many different health issues together, but clogged femoral pores is nothing I’ve ever had to deal with. I picked him up today and I think his pores are clogged? He’s in the middle of shed right now so I had first...

Um he’s a rescue. I took him in on April 6th and the owner could only tell me he was ‘over a year’ old. So probably around 2 now? He’s 13 inches long though, so about the size of a 6 month old. I have noticed his sheds get more patchy. The first two or three with me were very fast and pretty...

Okay that’s a relief. He never looks like this when he sheds though. It usually gets really pale.

I literally took these pictures within a minute of each other- every time I walk by his enclosure his foot is nearly black, then as soon as I start holding him it goes back to normal. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just another weird beardie quirk?

I haven’t been able to get Oslo out as much recently- I’ve been very busy and away from home. I feel bad about it, and would love ideas on what I could do to keep him mentally stimulated while I’m gone. Also, disregard the dehumidifiers. We have like 90% humidity here, and his favorite thing...

Okay, thank you. Gout could be possible. He’s got kidney damage from his previous owner giving him way too much protein, but he’s been in my care for six months now and the vet and I have him on a low protein intake.

The swelling is quite significant compared to the finger on the other hand, at least to me. And you can see where that part of his hand is more pale than the rest.

I wish I could get a clearer picture of the underneath. It literally looks like skin in one spot. Smooth. There’s some texture coming back as if the scales are re-growing though. That’s rather new.

Hi! So about two months ago I took Oslo outside, and I’m not sure what happened, but when I looked him over he had a pink patch right underneath what would be his pinky finger where the scales looked like they had rubbed off and it was a little irritated, like just pinkish skin. No big deal. I...

It’s like 85% outside. I have two dehumidifiers in his enclosure, my fan on, and an air conditioner constantly running and I still can only keep his humidity in his enclosure at 45-50. But I wiggled my uvb tube a little yesterday and it suddenly turned on. Seems like it just has a short in it...

Would they be willing to refund me the money? I’ve never dealt with them so I don’t know what to expect their customer service to be like. It’s pretty warm here, just extremely humid. I’ll try to take him out when I can, it’s just hard because I’m usually at school or work from 9:30 until dark.
