First, from all initial evaluations and observations she is okay. I brought her outside before putting her harness on, she got spooked by a plane and ran off our deck, falling 8 feet landing on brick patio below, Saturday at 5pm. All my fault, put on harness first then go outside Did not see...

Devlyn got to go romp in the garden, then visit the park, and finally get some hornworms to refuel after a big day outside It was too darn frustrating to freeze frame in Google photos app so I used another app and took a screenshot this image took forever to get I went mad getting this...

Devlyn cares more about food than her own life Typical beardie It's like she forgot how to move her feet and hold on while being overly excited at eating a big beautiful flower. She fell off her log and did a roll to right herself Zoom and enhance on the reflection She got better...

Devlyn had her annual vet visit last month. I had written her full chemistries and results here on the site. Her Hematocrit being 40%, high value, and her low frequency and inconsistent quality poops being the thing I want to discuss here. On average poops every 4 days (sans brumation). This is...

I live in Minnesota. Which is really cold in winter. Without fail I always seem to need a vet visit during winter. Normally I use a cooler, size of a small suitcase, to pack up my beardie. Add towels and heat packs. Use a luggage strap to keep lid on while moving. Works great. For unknown...

This is about Quetzal. About 5 year old male, adopted August 7th, 2022. Last vet visit September 7th, 2022. It seemed like starting November 1st he was starting his brumating. Appetite loss and spending time in his hide a week on/week off. Possibly pointless background info: I was told he...

Now, I'm now sure plenty of people have one dragon so an enclosure on a table works well. I'm curious for what anyone uses for multiple enclosures. DIY shelving? Pre-fab metal shelving? After looking through YouTube world I was disappointed at the lack of shelving discussions. Watching a 15...

I must be blind. Could someone please point out how you add beardie names to your profile so it shows up under the avatar? Thank you.

Hopefully in 5 days or so I will have an answer, but I thought I would put this up before the weekend. Devlyn has been having a mystery illness since June this year. Overall she is acting fine. Stable weight. Active and basking. Good appetite. Happy coloring. The symptom is loose and watery...

I've been thinking of getting a new rescue beardie for awhile. This guy has been in the Snake Discovery adoption island for something like 3 months? That was after his quarantine too. Something about him just called to me. He can be Quetzalcóatl but Quetzal works good too The history we have...

What prompted this is I will be going to my annual vet check up with Devlyn on Feb 14th, the most romantic thing to do of course, and I thought about seeing if my vet had any insight into beardies and antioxidants. Of course fresh greens, veggies, and fruits have antioxidants which probably can...

This isn't about brumation directly. My girl brumates herself fine. Unfortunately a few weeks ago in October my beloved kitty passed away of old age. She always did her job and kept the house rodent free. It's very clear the wild mice from outside have found their old ways into the house and...

Recent blood test for Devlyn! Our big goal this year was to lower her calcium blood level. Because while it was overall okay it kept going up & up. Which would be bad. My vet hypothesized if Devlyn is making eggs she was resorbing the materials. She is 2 years and 11 months old. Has never laid...

Devlyn ate 1. Exactly one roughly dollar coin size banana pancake. I'll call that a success. I used organic everything, including extra virgin olive oil for the cooking. 1 medium banana (aka dessert banana) worked out to a perfect 100 grams. For less sugar plantain banana would be better, but...

Rare banana treat ?

Apparently I've been too heavy with the calcium dusting. Or maybe this is the first step in Devlyn making eggs? She woke from brumation Jan 10th after sleeping 119 days, my brumation champion. She is now 2.5 years old. Old enough to make eggs, but she never has been gravid before. Vet did not...

Hey everyone. I was diagnosed with salmonella on 12/28/20. Symptoms started 12/25/20. I definitely did not get this from my beardie. She is still brumating! I want to prevent her from contracting my illness. I have latex gloves I can use. She will wake from brumation very soon. Which means I...

Yo! Someone in our local herp community accidentally had green anole babies. I got 2 of them. I traded the green anoles for about 150 dubia roaches. They came with a little enclosure they are living in right now. I got a 100 watt CHE heat bulb and T8 5.0 bulb by Zoo med. I've read conflicting...

Hi all I have read through the guide directly from Arcadia https://www.arcadiareptile.com/lighting/full-sun-baskers/ that shows this strong bulb should be about 18-24" inches from basking site. Is 48" to the ground still okay for the 14% T5 with reflector? I don't have a UVB reading meter and...
