    Helping a sprained leg

    So when I woke up yesterday, my boy Cheeto was avoiding using his front left leg very suddenly. When he got into his basking spot, he dragging his leg up and letting it lay limp. There was no swelling and he was alright with me touching and (very gently) squeezing the arm to feel it but seemed...

    Beardie passing undigested veggies

    So today I got home from work, and I found that my beardie Cheeto had passed undigested veggies - specifically what looked like the mango I gave him as a treat. I've noticed it a couple times but it wasnt much - there was a single small piece of bell pepper in his poop a couple times, small...

    TV preferences?

    I have a story, and a question for you all! My beardie Cheeto Puff is in a new place in my new apartment. He'a in the main room now, and he really enjoys watching TV! His basking spot is set up in a way (unintentionally, but I'm leaving it) that he can bask and watch, which he has started doing...

    Question about age

    So, I don't know how old my beardie is, and I'm wondering if he could be older than I thought? I got him on May 10th and he was about 6 1/2" long then. He's a bit over 12" now (he wouldn't stay still long enough to be measured today, I'm guessing 12 1/2") However, I noticed this week the buldges...

    Going to be away for a day, help?

    So I've had a weekend away planned for months and all my sitters have cancelled on me! My beardie is roughly 4 months old. My plan is to leave Friday morning and return Sunday morning around the time he wakes up, so he will be fed his morning feeding Friday and normally on Sunday, but I don't...

    Different colored scales?

    Cheeto has these differently colored scales and I'm not sure if they're normal or not. I haven't noticed them spreading and they're only around where the colored scales meet the white and seem to be a similar color to some of his less pigmented scales. Hes going to a vet for a normal checkup...

    Cheeto Puff!

    I've never properly introduced me or my boy :) Hi! I've been interested in beardies since elementary school, where my 4th grade class had one as a class pet! I've been in love with them since! I used to keep fire-bellied toads but now was a good time to take the plunge into lizard care! My baby...

    Skinny legs??

    So, my boy Cheeto is fully capable of running around and has no weakness in his legs but they don't seem to be getting any bigger. He's had some small appetite issues over the last two weeks but nothing indicative of any serious health issues (relocation stress immedietly followed by shedding)...

    Arm backwards but not weak?

    I didn't catch a picture of it, but my baby was laying on the side of his basking rock with one arm backward. He doesn't have any other issues walking on it and he isn't turning his hands inwards, so I'm hoping it's not a health issue. He's only done it the one time that I've seen, and had...

    Crickets too big!

    So I've hit another problem - my shipment of feeder crickets were too big! I had ordered a smaller size, but received crickets of 1/2" and up! I plan to buy new feeders, but I only have enough of his small crickets from last week to last through today! I had this problem at a pet store as well...

    Beardie prefers greens to crickets?

    Hi! Last Friday, I brought home a 7in long baby beardie. The little guy has suffered a bit of relocation stress that he's started getting over, but I have noticed he's got a preference for greens! He chases and eats crickets fine at least once a day, yesterday he ate about 20 (a big...
