The biggest risk is drowning and a common risk is respiratory infections. Does she show any signs of struggling to breathe or coughing? If not, she's probably okay, but I'd keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't do that. It's possible she doesn't know she can't breathe underwater and...

Aside from what people have suggested, such as local places and what-not. If you're willing to ship a pet and package them safely, I'd absolutely recommend the small company: https://www.emeraldscales.com/rehome The company has the co-owner called GoHerping on YouTube who is a 18 year old who...

This is more of a silly idea and I'm wondering if people notice much of a difference: I'm intending on buying both Silkworms and Phoenix Worms- together exclusively. I noticed that Silkworms have Serrapeptase, a pain reducer and calcium efficiency increasing enzyme- plus a lot of other things-...

Hi! Welcome to the beardie-loving family! When it comes to rocks, stones, or wood (NOT pine, cedar or fir as they're toxic), I tend to bake them at 300*F for about an hour. However, you have to keep a close eye on the wood or it can catch fire when you're not looking. Edit: I completely...

Hi there! Is he shedding? Shedding tends to irritate them and cause them to not eat- although it's safe to assume this isn't the issue, it's always a possibility. Edit: Does your beardie display any signs of discomfort like a black beard? (Stress marks are fairly common with young-yins since...

Goodness! What a gorgeous, happy, baby! (Stress is typically shown through chain-like markings on their underside and jaw.) As for the hand-feeding only, I wouldn't even sweat it! Some do prefer hand-feeding, but it's likely she'll become more interested in bugs running around at some point or...

Hi guys! So I've had my second beardie for two weeks, picture of her in another post- I plan on doing a formal introduction soon. I currently use a typical fake-rock prop, ha it kinda rhymes, and that's her main basking spot. She's beginning to outgrow it already and I'm debating on how to go...

Figured I'd poke this forum a little. The more and more I look, the 700-800 range is always lack luster to fill- makes me wonder what element the Sun has that we can't contain in our bulbs- at least for elementally composed bulbs compared to LEDs. LEDs are definitely capable of a lot, but...

D'aww, thanks! As for the urate, she's definitely healthy on that part- nothing abnormal. Just a typical white color! I suppose I was paranoid about her eyes due to the surprise of her immediately being acquainted with the basking spot and doing the iconic jump-scare of eye bulging. Which...

If you're referring to the humidity within the tank, 68% is quite a bit higher than what a bearded dragon should be exposed to. The recommended range is 40-35%. Having high humidity like that can result in an RI (respiratory infection). I absolutely insist on scheduling an appointment with a vet...

I recommend trying to schedule a visit to the vet as soon as possible. Based on the coughing, it typically means they're sick. What lighting, tempatures, and humidity levels do you have in the tank and how often do you bathe her?

Here's the image, I looked at other posts about it and I assume it isn't an issue in absolute? (She likes to sprawl out on my arm while I watch videos to wind down.)

My beardie goes nuts for yellow squash, I cut it into small little pizza-shaped slices and she snatches 'em up and saves them for when no one is watching. (Storing them in her beard.)
