I recently took my beardie to the vet for a check up to see if he was good to brumate. He about 14 months old, and was starting to show healthy and natural signs of brumation, so I decided to see if he was ok to do so. I took him in, they took him inside, and I waited in the car. They came back...

I have heard from many different sources that a water source is not needed and it is even recommended to not have one in the viv, as it can raise humidity. I already have issues maintaining humidity, and when I had a small water dish in his tank, it raised the humidity a ton (even being out of...

My beardie has recently when through a time when he would not touch any food, and he seemed very exhausted. I was sure this was just brumation, and I just kept an eye on him. Recently, he has taken an interest in black soldier flies. I am curious to know if he just lost interest in the food he...

My first beardie just turned a year old a couple of months ago, and now it seems like its time for brumation. I have never really dealt with this before, but I have done a TON of research on this. I am 99.9% sure his recent behaviors are just because of the brumation season, but I wanted to...

I have just started going to in-person classes, something I have not done for months now. My beardie is so stressed out with these changes that he won’t bask,eat, poop, or do anything but sit in his cave when I’m gone. As soon as I get home, he’s “happy” and acts perfectly fine (he’ll eat and...

I guess my beardie has gotten a little too used to me being with him and interacting with him. I go to school before he wakes up, and my mom goes in my room and he’s trying to get out of his tank, climbing all over the screen and hanging upside down, glass surfing, moving things around in his...

My beardie has had soft/mushy poops for the last week. He hasn’t been going more than he used to, but it has definitely gotten softer. The stool itself looks like a normal color, and the urates seem like a normal color too, not tinged orange or yellow. He has plenty of excess water surrounding...

My beardie turns one year old in a couple of weeks. Just recently, he started to be very lethargic and tired. He never wants to bask. If I put him on his basking platform, he’ll get off of it to hide. I keep checking to make sure it is the right temp, and it is. He still moves around some, just...

I have been trying to research more into feeding and diet for a one year old beardie. When I first did the research all those months ago, I was told to feed one year olds once a day with insects (and a feeding of veggies everyday) until they reach 18 months. After that, they can eat every couple...

My 11 month old has had runny poop the last few days. He seems very healthy otherwise. He definitely has no problem eating, and is still very active. Husbandry: 50 G vivarium with paper towel flooring (temporary, I usually have tile, but new tank and I have to get more) T5 10.0 uvb tube that...

I just wanted to clear a few things up. My beardie is soon to be 12 months old, and I can’t find a reliable source of information as to how often I should feed him. Many websites say you should switch to mostly veggies at 8 months of age with feedings every other day, though I know that to be...

I recently bought a 50 G viv for $20. It came with quite a few hides and branches, all included in the price. I couldn’t pass on it, but I also want to make sure my beardie will be safe. The previous owner said that his beardie died from “natural causes”, though I have many thoughts on the true...

My 10 month old has been acting a bit different the last week. He seems really tired (though he still moves around and eats fine). He hasn’t pooped in 4 days, which is unusual for him. He usually poops every other day, though I understand they aren’t always constant. He hasn’t eaten as many...

After struggling with ordering and receiving live insects, I decided to try my luck with raising mealworms. After about a week, I was seeing tons of healthy pupaes. A few days later I had hundreds of healthy darkling beetles. I replace their food often and make sure that they have plenty of...

It’s that time of year again, and my beardie has been glass surfing non-stop. Because of this, he has rubbed his little feet and toes raw. I have been giving him daily betadine soaks and putting neosporin on when needed, but I have concerns about one of his feet. There seems to be a red sore in...

My 10 month old beardie hasn’t shed for a month or two. He seems to be really healthy otherwise, and I’m sure he’s eating enough! He gets two feedings of 100 large BSFL a day, as well as a full bowl of fresh veggies daily that is refilled if needed. His stools seem to be very healthy! I know...

During the day, my humidity stays at about 35%-40% at all times. At night, however, the humidity rises up to about 55-60%, which really worries me. I don’t have a water bowl or any other source of moisture in the viv or even in the room. Is it possible for my beardie to get a respiratory...

I am almost completely out of live insects. When I noticed that I was starting to run low, I immediately put an order in. The order has been delayed with everything going on, and I worry about what I'll do until they come in. I had about 200 feeder mealworms that I have already fed off. I have...

Hi! I have been experiencing a change in my 8 month old beardie's behavior over the past few weeks. Here is his viv layout: Lighting: 10.0 t5 HO tube uvb; on at 7 off at 7; roughly 10 inches away from nearest basking site; covers 3/4 of cage with hides if needed to get away Basking...

Hi! My beardie is 8 months old. We got him when he was 2 months old, and haven't had many problems with him! He has always appeared very healthy and was very calm and gentle when handled. Recently, he had diarrhea. His poop went back to normal the next day, so I just decided to keep an eye on...
