    Gryphon Is Miserable

    Hi Everyone, I moved with my Gryphon July 14. He is not adjusting. He has a new pen but it is furnished with all of his old stuff...rocks, logs, posters etc. His lighting and temps are what he prefers, 98 hot 70 cold respectively; same T5HO. All Gryph does is cower and HIDE. I try to hand...

    Safe Trees And Plants

    Good Morning! Gryphon loves the Christmas tree. Every time I turn my back he's climbing into it. He will sit in it for hours if I let him. Obviously I can't leave the tree up forever so I googled safe indoor trees and plants for bearded dragon. All I saw was conflicting advice. One site said...

    Leashes

    Hi Everyone, I am not sure in what forum I should post this; it's regarding safety. Earlier today I took Gryphon outside for sun as usual. We were out about 10 min. & he was walking and nosy as usual when he suddenly bolted. He went 30 ft. in SECONDS!! I couldn't catch him. Thank goodness my...

    Blood After Poop

    Hi Everyone, Two weeks ago Gryphon ate a piece of cement. So quick! I browsed this forum and tried not to panic while I waited for him to pass it; which he did two days later. It was rather large, ball bearing sized, sharp edge. I didn't see any blood though I went through the poop wearing...

    Just One Egg

    Hey There! My friend has had two beardies since they were 2 weeks old. He thought they were both females since they got along together in the same enclosure for the past year. Lately the little one has been bullying the big one so he separated them. Yesterday the big one laid an egg. Just one...

    Brumation Maybe?

    Hi Everyone, My 8 month old is showing all signs of brumation for the last 2 wks. No surprise, the weather temps dropped from 90 to 65 degrees 2 wks ago even though his tank temps, UVB & schedule has remained the same. My worry is I read several articles that stated I shouldn't allow a...

    Beardie Likes It Cool?

    Hi Everyone, My dragon is almost 7 months and I guess he's going thru some changes. Gryphon starts glass surfing immediately upon waking at 6am and continues all day, so after he eats his mealworms I take him out & put him on his window sill to bask in real sunlight. He used to sit there for...

    Change in poop!

    Hi Everyone, My 3 month old has always had well-formed "normal" poop until about 2 wks ago. He had a few days of diarrhea, which I blamed on the sweet potato (baked) he likes. I stopped feeding this & continued with greens, which he doesn't eat much of, and of course lots of crickets. Now...

    What is enough UVB for large enclosure?

    Hi Everyone! I am building a 6x3x2 tank for my rather large baby. I'm going to use Reptisun 10.0 T5-Ho 39W for uvb.(34") Is one enough for this large of an enclosure? Is one 100W basking lamp enough? I already have a black ceramic bulb for additional heat since my house is always chilly and...

    Gaping/gasping

    My 3 month beardie is shedding profusely, gaping and breathing heavily. He's never gasped like this before. I sprayed him for 10 min. to soak him and was ready to rush to the vet, but now he seems better. Should I still see the vet? His tank temps are 105 & 80F, respectively, and he ate 30...

    Hello and Thank you!

    I received my baby dragon quite unexpectedly last Christmas. Gryphon was only 4 in.long and I was terrified I'd kill him because I knew NOTHING about caring for him. I found this site and hit on it probably thousands of times during sleepless, panic-filled nights. He is now 15 inches and still...
