Hi I got a new beardie female last year. She was 2 years old and gravid when I got her. She laid 17 eggs. On the advice of the people at our local reptile store, we set up a fishtank heater incubator (we can't get a proper incubator). We had the eggs in a tupperware with damp vermiculite. We...

Hi He seems fine this morning - a bit annoyed with me for forcing his mouth open for fluids but otherwise ok. I was worried last night because he was very black and seemed dazed but that has passed now That is the only dewormer that they have at the reptile store and the guy there who breeds...

Thanks Tracie I used beaphar wormer for reptiles. The active ingredient is levamisole 25mg/ml He seems ok so far - just a it skittish and his pupils are quite dilated, but I might just be being paranoid

Hi I just dewormed my beardies. They are on day 2 of a 5 day course. The dose is 0.2ml per dragon but while I was dosing Merlin, the dispenser on the syringe broke and he got about 2.5ml!!!! It is 7pm here and the emergency vet knows nothing about reptiles ANY ADVICE???

I'm in South Africa and most people that I've spoken to here don't bother too much with providing a lay box for their BDs. The breeder I spoke to thought I was a bit...

Hi I got a new BD on Friday. She's 2years old and gravid. This will be her 3rd clutch. She was housed with a male all the time before. Now I have her in a tank on her own and she seems really stressed. I know that she will be very active before she lays but she really seems freaked out. She...

Thanks! I know it was a very stupid question but no one seems to state the obvious!

I have another sort of stupid question! I am getting a female beardie tomorrow. I have 2 males (who live very happily together). The guy I'm getting her from says she's gravid. Does this mean she is carrying eggs that should be incubated? If I have it right, they mate and then they grow the...
