Congratulations Basil. Those are some very nice pics, especially the main one. Very nice to see a bearded dragon as pet of the day. He is quite handsome.

Okay I have 5, so here goes:
1. Sinclair. - My 1st bearded dragon came from The Atomic Lizard Ranch. (Shipped)
2. Pancakes - Adoptee from beardeddragon.org. (Shipped from VA)
3. Tyger - Purchased through beardeddragon.org member breeder. (Shipped)
4. Tassadar - Adoptee from...
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Lizard intelligence is greatly underestimated by too many people. They are capable of communicating, learning, being trained, and recognizing people, and even training their owners to a certain extent. :D

I agree with the previous poster about needing to change out the uvb light to a reptisun 10 tube light. The compacts are not recommended, as they can cause eye issues and do not provide the appropriate uvb. Get her as much natural sunlight as you can, keep her hydrated (supervised shallow...
If I take a bearded dragon with me out for a short trip, it would not be to Walmart, as there is no such thing as a quick trip to Walmart, but seven never in a million years. I have taken one on trips to Petsmart, and even a brief stop by Office Depot on the way back from Petsmart. Plus my...
There might not be a problem with the hood. I had a similar issue with one of my hoods where the light would come on in the morning, but would periodically go off like when opening the doors of my beardie's enclosure, but come back on if I adjusted the bulb slightly. I did a little research...
I would be more worried about dehydration, so make sure that you are soaking him in warm water for about 15 to 30 minutes on a regular basis. I have had beardies go on mini hunger strikes, but they usually can't resist when I offer them baby food through a needless syringe. A favorite is a mix...
Poor little darling, how someone couldn't look at her and tell she wasn't okay is beyond me, but at least she isn't suffering anymore, and you tried very hard to help her.

Actually veiled are supposed to be at least somewhat omnivorous, so the addition of some veggies won't hurt her. Make sure you are mixing some calcium in with the food. Maybe even mix some plain pedialyte in. I had a male veiled chameleon a few years ago, and he would eat an occasional bit of...
There is a Repticon show at the Gwinnett Fairgrounds next month towards the end of the month. There have been a lot of bearded dragons at the last few shows that I attended. Just google Repticon Atlanta.

Thanks for the update. It is good to know that the delay is not nearly as bad as I thought. For the record, it was not my intention to bash Bob Mac. I have personally spoken to him and exchanged emails with him, and do agree with other poster that he is a good guy who genuinely cares about...
I was thinking about ordering some extra Megaray bulbs to have some backups on hand just in case (and for future use) when I noticed that there is a shipping delay until @ 10/21 for what seems like all if their bulbs. A five month shipping delay seems extraordinarily long, so I was wondering...
When your beardies and iguana have their own mini fridge just for their veggies. When your beardies also have a wine cooler just for their worms, and you have multiple bins of dubias and superworms for them to eat. When the first thing you do when you wake up is to go check on your beardie...
