Our adorable Paisley got squirrelly when I was tucking her in for the evening (letting her fall asleep on me... usually this is something she throws a tantrum about if she doesn't get to do it), so she ran off of me and them jumped off of the couch. This is only about an 18" drop, but she...

Our girl, Paisley, is about 10 months old and we have known for most of that time that she is ADV+, though she has never shown any of the typical symptoms (no stargazing, no failure to grow... she has been a voracious eater of both bugs and veggies her whole life, and has had a lot of brightness...

So sad to get the news that our girl has ADV. We didn't test for it on the first vet visit -- instead we had a full blood panel done, and it gave high white blood cells but there were no other signs of problems (for example, kidney and liver tests were fine.) We were told to come back in a month...

I have seen people advising over and over again strongly against feeding kale and romaine lettuce. The claim for romaine lettuce seems to be that it is "low in nutrients, and too high in water" -- but when I went to look up the veracity of that statement, it turns out that it is only slightly...

We got a new girl at the age of 2 months after losing our last dragon to kidney disease at the age of only one year old back at the end of October. She is now 4 months old and has been growing, seems energetic (When we take her out of tank, she loves to run around and climb and explore), eats...

Hello all... I have been doing some research lately, when I came across some data online that seemed counter to advice that had been given on various beardie forums re: nutrition and staple greens. In particular, I keep seeing two things as the "holy grail" of feeding recommendations: 1) This...

Ash passed away in the small hours of the morning on Wednesday, October 30. We had just taken him to our vet on Saturday, and the vet assured us he was healthy and fine and probably just readying for brumation; but clearly the vet -- a generalist -- was not as knowledgeable about beardies as she...

Our sweet, sweet boy Ash just passed away yesterday morning (I will post a memoriam in the memories forum), and all signs point to end-stage kidney disease / renal failure. In hindsight, I should have seen all of the red flags... but every time we took him to the vet, we were assured that we...

My beardie has seemed strange ever since Monday, and I posted about some issues he seemed to be having with balance and lethargy on the ER forum... but I no longer see a twitch or balance problem. However, lethargy remains (he plops down instead of propping up when basking, and closes his eyes...

I am concerned after leaving my beardie over the weekend (after feeding dubia, and leaving a supply of some green beans and peas)... When I returned, things didn't seem right: a) He hasn't pooped in a few days (but this might be normal as he is getting older? Now a little over 1 year old) b) He...

Hey everybody... this is Ash. I haven't posted about him since he was a wee baby (5-6 months old) back in September. He has grown a lot since then! For the most part, he seems like a fairly happy and healthy guy... until recently. Over the past couple of weeks, he has started glass surfing...

Somehow I managed to forget to turn on not one but TWO heaters, resulting in a pretty cold night for little Ash (6-7 month juvenile.) (Normally I turn on the thermostat in the room, but it is hard because here in California it is still getting warm during the day, up to 75 or so, and then cold...

A few days ago I moved my beardie into his new and improved home (upgraded from 20 gal to 40 gal tank), and he seemed comfortable and content to climb up the (higher) branch and basking area... He was just chilling and basking until, while I was watching, he took a flying suicide leap off of...

I upgraded to a larger tank (40 gal) and so decided to upgrade by UVB to an T5 HO tube one (upgrade from the ReptiSun 10.0 coil lamp)... However, I know 5.0 is not sufficient (especially when it is sitting above screen like mine is), so I ordered a 10.0 but it won't be arriving for another few...

I have been feeding my new juvenile beardie crickets as a primary staple (supplemented with mealworms, collard, mustard, and turnip greens, plus some yellow squash)... but it is a pain to keep driving down to get the crickets (40 minutes each way to get to the nearest pet store), and they die so...

I am considering getting a CHE because ambient temperature is going to be cold during the winter... would a heating element be sufficient to keep my beardie safe at night when the rest of the room is very cold? (otherwise, I will keep him in my bedroom -- the only warm room in the house --...

So, I decided to go ahead and start upgrading to a larger tank now, even though my guy (?) is only 4-5 months old (started with a 20 gal starter kit), since the tank was 50% off. Figured I would go ahead and set the whole thing up, but I am going to need new lights due to the larger tank. This...

Got a baby beardie (a little over 4 months) on Saturday and put him up in his new environments. He seems healthy, active, alert, not aggressive... . Loves eating greens (collard/mustard/turnip) for breakfast and then dusted crickets and some mealworms later in the day. All seems good so far...

I haven't yet seen my beardie use the shallow water bowl/dish (large enough for a dip/soak if he so chooses), but he did love the warm bath I just gave him (and drank a little of it, too), so I was wondering one thing... Where should I place the water bowl in the enclosure -- on the "hot"...

Hello everyone, my name is Matt and I never thought I would be on a forum called BeardedDragon.org (I do find lizards fascinating, but was always partial to turtles and tortoises and, as a first grade teacher, I was considering one as a class pet until I read up and found that they can be pretty...
