    Wheezing/Coughing post-brumation

    My 5yo female bearded dragon went into brumation in July and started roaming around again yesterday/today. I noticed today that she was coughing/wheezing or something. She'd puff up, lurch forward, and make a squeak sound of some sort. The coughing appears to stop when she's in her hide on the...

    Stuck Shed / Behavior Change

    I have two bearded dragons, Dezzy (female, 5yo) and Percy (male, ~8yo). They're in separate tanks that are each 60x28x29 (240g), mixed soil/sand substrate, misc logs rocks and hides in each, 99-104F basking spots depending on the day, 80F cool sides, unsure on warm side temp currently, and...

    Nail / tail concerns

    https://www.beardeddragon.org/media/20230511_190713-jpg.65445/ I went to give dezzy a bath because of some pretty large areas of shed that have taken their time to break, and I noticed a few concerning things. First is the picture above. The nail is almost sideways and you can see the dark...

    New custom tank design

    I'm purchasing six 1/2" 48x96" pvc panels and two 1/8" 24x48" either acrylic or glass panels to build two tanks. The idea is to have a minimum size of 60x30x30" (LxWxH). Aside from the above listed panels, budget is of no concern to me for other necessary materials such as venting, light...

    Health concerns about new beardy

    Pictures: Rescued beardy I took this 7-8yo beardy in as of yesterday (April 9th, 2023) afternoon. I've a number of concerns regarding his health due to prior care. To start off, I will mention that I'm working to replace his entire setup ASAP with initial changes being ditching the repticarpet...

    Custom Tank Design

    I am starting to plan out a new tank for my current beardy and I will likely build two near identical tanks to have a second beardy in the near future. The basis of my plans so far is to use three 8x4' pvc panels to build a 60x30x30" tank. I'm planning on having a solid top with either sliding...

    Taking in unwanted beardy

    Ive found a 5yo male seemingly healthy bearded dragon that the original owners are not interested in keeping. It was originally for their kids but when the kids lost interest, the parents took over until they could rehome it. Between now and when I pick him up some time in the coming weeks...

    DIY Tank Decor

    I currently own a tank that's LxWxH 42x24x48 inches. It is split roughly in half with two levels. Unfortunately she primarily only uses the upper level and a middle level that splits the ramps due to the lower level not being as warm or decorated. I dont have any current pictures right now but...

    Egg Laying

    My beardy is a little over 3yo now, and has laid eggs three times in 2021. I don't recall when the first batch was, but the second and third batches were on October 28 and November 30. Is it normal to lay 20 some eggs on two days so close to each other? They're not fertile as she hasn't mated...

    Eyesight

    I am slightly concerned about my beardy's eyesight although Im not sure if it's an eyesight issue, a learned behavior, or me simply overthrinking. Her two favorites are crickets and blueberries, but it seems that she either wont eat outside of her tank or that she needs the heavy lighting of...

    Eggs

    My 2.5yo female beardy just laid 5-6 infertile eggs. She did not show any difference in behavior or an intent to dig prior to this. Is there anything i should do? Any concerns?

    Tail rot, scab, or poop?

    Additionally she drank too much water during her bath today and was regurgitating undigested food from yesterday. She's a little over 2 years old and her basking temp is between 100-105. Is this a pressing concern right now or just watch her going forward so it doesnt happen again? I baited her...

    Morphs

    I know breeding leatherbacks and silkies can cause health issues for them, however I was curious about whether or not breeding things like zero, witblits, and weros can cause issues for them? I was also wondering if weros always have black eyes or if the ones Ive seen were simply translucent...

    Going outside

    If they get stressed when taken outside, should you even bother trying to acclimate them to going outside or leave them in the comfort of what they're used to? I've taken my girl out a few times and she just hunkered down in the grass or crawled back up to my neck.

    Discolored foot

    Could someone give their thoughts on this? I'm not sure if this is shedding or something abnormal, but her one foot has been a different color as shown above for awhile. When she sheds normally, her scales become duller rather than brighter/diff color. That foot is the only splotch that is like...

    First Snek

    I'm doing research around the possibility of getting a snake. I've two questions to start off but will likely add more later, anyways: 1. Does anyone have recommendations on snek species that feed on something other than rodents or lizards? I could 100% feed a snek anything else but not...

    Diet

    At what point would you start transitioning bearded dragons from two insect feedings per day to one, and one per day to not a daily feeding with more emphasis on greens? I'm hoping it won't hurt for a 2 year old to cut back a little bit on insects because every order Ive had online or from...

    Wall Running

    As long as I've had my beardy, she's had an obsession with running against walls. In her earlier glass tank, the assumption was her reflection or some other stress causing glass surfing. But it doesn't matter whether she's in a 20 gallon, 200 gallon, or a 20ft by 20ft room... When she's active...

    Do females go into heat?

    Main question is in the header. Over the past few days, the behavior in my girl has drastically changed. She's normally pretty content just basking all day aside from going to eat/poop, but for several days now she's been running nonstop from 9am until 3pm. She's actually managed to severely...
