Huh, well maybe they're just being difficult! All these guys are different so maybe we just have to accept the fact that we have the picky/stubborn breed of dragon!

Yes he still eats his bugs when provided. I thought about that but I thought he was to young yet. He will sleep all day and longer though if I let him. otherwise fecal came back clear so its not parasites.

Yep, another post about a dragon not eating their veggies! I haven't posted in awhile but I've finally had enough and need some advice. My boy Felix is just over a year old now and although he's a sweetheart and has the correct cage/lighting etc he refuses to eat his veggies. Now he used to love...

A 20 gallon will probably last you 2 months! No, I'd say you'd be safe with the 20 gallon until your dragon gets to be about 10 inches (4-5 months old?) and after that that most people use the 40 gallon breeder or custom tanks that are 4x2x2. If you are looking to get one tank and stick with it...

Thanks guys :D Maybe it's just the "scientist" in me but it's so interesting to see how differently members of the same species develop. There's defiantly a genetic factor but when it comes to our dragons it's incredible how much we can alter their growth/health both before and after hatching.

My boys a hardcore country fan! Honestly though Ive noticed his behavior changes when the base to a song or movie is turned up but otherwise ive yet to see him Bob his head to the rhythm or anything.

Can't seem to copy and paste tables so links will have to do: 5 Male and 5 Female charts from ages 6 weeks to 6 months --- http://www.dachiu.com/beardeddragoncare/growthcharts.html The wonderful beautiful dragon's website, one full chart and a few up to 6 months ---...

I love going through old posts and seeing all the babies grow but you can't go back and measure a picture so I've been keeping track of my first dragon's growth. I've seen several people (including myself) asking if their dragon is too small/big so I thought it would help to have multiple...

I'm majoring in zoology in the US but haven't done very much acedemic research on reptiles yet. What kind of journals are you looking for? Ill go ahead and look into our online library and try to find some for you.

I'm really sorry to hear of her troubles Esther, it sounds like shes had a rough time but shes got the most loving parent and I'm sure you'll be able to make the right choices for her. I hope she stablizes soon and her bloodwork comes back with some clear answers :(

Could you just bring in a sample and have them test it and give you the results? You can probably find good medicine onlinear for cheaper plus some of the more experienced owners/breeders here might actually know of a better medication then whatever the vet recommends. If they're just running a...

So many suggestions when really its going to be up to Kratos to show himself. As long as your overnight temps aren't to bad then there's no reason he couldn't still be out there. I mean he certainly doesn't look like normal food so if anyones dog or cat found him then I'm sure the owners would...

Ditto :)

You need to set up a photobucket account, there are instructions under the "Photo Expressions" section. And its definatly not normal but in addition to pictures as much info as you can provide on him and his set up will be helpful. how big is he and hoe much is infected? How ling has he been...

Really all you can do is wait it out and hope they can digest and pass it normally. Two days ago I had my boy sitting up on the picnic table and some kids found a Forest Tent Caterpillar (very common on our area) and they brought it over so i could look up on my phone what it would turn into. In...

Interesting... ive never noticed a worm come out whole but maybe the heat and juices from his digestive tract just sucked all the nutrients out it but the skin was tougher? It'd be gross but ifyou cut one open you could see it it really was stil whole or if the insides really had been digested..

I understand that completly but I'm pretty sure I got some extra frisky and hardy bugs to start with! I weighed them out and I think I've got roughly 1000 babies from newborn nymphs to 1/4".

Could you mail in a fecal sample? I think id be worth calling them and asking. All they need is a little bit of fresh poo so unless you were going to get bloodwork done or something I don't know why they'd need to see him in person. They might need his weight though so if that's the case you'd...

Everything except the thermeter is correct. I cant get a link right now but your looking for a little rectangle with a digital read out screen and attached to that is a long wire with a thinker part at the end. Type in "zoo med digital thermometer with probe" into amazon and that should come il...

I'm so sorry. I hope he comes hack home. Your son must be devastated. My only suggestion is to put his basking spot or cage outside. There's no way to know if he actually knows where his home is but I lost my gerbils once and I put the cage out with the door open and the next morning one was...
