How in the living hell. Do I keep cats away from my lizard tank and off the top screen? My family (despite my arguments) got not one but THREE cats. So now I’ve been sitting next to my lizard tank watching in terror each time the walk into the room trying to keep them off of it. Tired of this. I...

I think I’m developing an allergy to crickets. I have been using crickets since I’ve had my dragon and recently I fell ill and was in my room for a very long time and I slacked on cleaning the cricket tank so a lot of dead ones built up and my room reeked of them. I’ve cleaned it since then but...

So, I’m either a paranoid first time beardie owner or my dragon just gets sick a lot and it always resolves on its own. Its likely that I just get paranoid with any little change in behavior. So, starting from the beginning, my little girl Ryuk had gotten really lethargic and sick, vet had...

Can beardies eat semi-cooked greens? I was looking up ways to keep greens fresh longer and they recommended “blanching” them, or dipping them in boiling water and then freezing them? I waste so many greens and buy new all the time. Just trying to cut cost. But of course if it isn’t good for her...

Hello! I’m looking to potentially build a new enclosure for my beardie. Could you post pictures of your homemade or handbuilt enclosures? If you could give me any advice on safe materials and the best type of tile that isn’t too slick but easily cleanable? She has a hard time getting around on...

Because of this quarantine the vet office in my area is not doing appointments. My beardie recently has had frequent watery stools that seem to barely be digested at all. It also smells very terrible. Her basking temps are spot on, her UVB is new. She is still eating fine but my goodness does...

My dragon has been very lethargic lately. It is the winter months however he has just turned a year old and I didn’t think they brumated till older. He hasn’t moved much from one spot in his tank and even when I get him out he doesn’t play or move around. Only time he moves is to eat. His poop...

Its been a while since I’ve been on here! As a first time beardie owner I think I’ve finally got an okay grasp of day to day care for my little one. He is getting so big and I’m starting to notice the more adult like features showing up! What a cutie!

My beardie currently has one eye that is a little swollen compared to the other. I’m not sure why it doesnt seem to be bothering him other than the fact that he is “buldging” his eyes more than normal and when he sleeps. I will post some pics below but its sort of hard to see the difference on...

I left for three days, my mom was supposed to watch my lizard but completely forgot about him in my room. I went in there, his beard was black, he eyes buldged out but closed he didn’t look like he was breathing and he didn’t respond to my touches. I turned his light on and picked him up, his...

So I want to give my beardy a horned worm but im actually terrified that he is going to choke on it. If I give the size of my dragon and and size of the worm could someone give me an idea of whether its a safe sized worm?.

I was recently told they might be too fatty and should only be used on occasions. Is it okay to feed primarily superworms? He is really thin and Im trying to put some weight on him anyways.

I know you aren’t supposed to use loose subtrate with beardies. I currently use reptile carpet however it is SO hard to keep clean. My beardie uses the bathroom on it daily. I’ve tried methods of getting my beardie to only go in water or a specific spot. Nothing has worked, he goes whenever and...

Help, i got a new uvb bulb and hood. Can i place this on top of the mesh? I know it blocks up to 50 percent of the uvb but i have a high output bulb. If not, how can i mount a hood

Ryuk, specifically this evening has just kept finding his way under his repti carpet and hiding there. His temps and everything are fine... any clue? He has only done this like once in the past. He doesnt seem stressed or anything, his color is fine. Was being all energetic earlier today. He is...

Crickets are so expensive and so hard to breed. I want to start a roach colony but heard that there are some really bad health issues associated with them. I live in an apartment and my colony would have to stay in my room. So how can I avoid developing an allergy to them?? And can they infest?

I’ve not noticed any chnages in my beardie but within the period of a few days his toes have started curling up?! If it is MBD it has progressed SUPER quick. I’m only 16 and I don’t get paid till Friday, I can’t afford to take him to the vet right now. HELP PLEASE I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART...

So Ryuk has recently be using the bathroom in his sleep? He also is sleeping a lot more than normal. He is too young for brumation? He is spending a lot of time in a little cave on the cool side of his tank and sleeping all day. I wake him up in the morning, then by the evening after school he...

Im a super paranoid mama! I got Ryuk thinking he would be a great starter reptile, boy was I wrong and misinformed. I would never recommend a bearded dragon to beginners unless they had access to constant guidance!! However, despite this I am determined to make sure my baby is happy and healthy...
