    Brumation in the Spring?

    Hi! I took my beardie to the vet for her yearly checkup back in February and she got the all-clear for her health. I also updated her Arcadia uv bulb in January. However, she is now starting to display signs of brumation. She is lazier, sleeping longer, staying in her hide, and has reduced her...

    Preovulatory Stasis and Surgery/Spaying

    The vet did an ultrasound last week on my 3-year-old rescue beardie and determined that she has preovulatory stasis, which is basically the retention of follicles that have not been reabsorbed or developed into eggs. The vet suggested that surgery is the best route in which they will remove the...

    Normal egg laying behavior?

    About a year and a half ago, I adopted a female bearded dragon. She is now ~3 years old. Since I've adopted her, she has had multiple trips to the vet/health concerns. Her past owner did not feed her greens, she did not have adequate UV, and her enclosure was way too small. Immediately upgraded...

    Constant glass surfing in new habitat

    I have a female bearded dragon that is roughly 3 years old. Three weeks ago, I upgraded her enclosure to a 4 x 2 x 2 enclosure from Zen Habitat. Since I've put her into the enclosure, she has not stopped glass surfing. I figured the first week was normal, but now I am concerned because she...

    Zen Habitat w/ Arcadia Set Up

    I just bought a new 4x2x2 zen habitat for my beardie and I’m very excited to get it set up. In her current tank, she has a 22in t5 Arcadia 12% bulb resting on top of her enclosure approx ~10 inches from her basking spot. For her new tank, do I need to upgrade to a longer bulb at 36inches or will...

    Relocation concerns?

    Is it okay to temporarily relocate an otherwise healthy, gravid bearded dragon for 1 month? Or would it cause too much relocation stress for her? I am hoping to visit my parents for a month (about an hour's drive away), but I want to ensure my beardie would be okay with the move while gravid...

    Weird Throat Behavior

    Hi- I called to schedule a vet appointment already so my beardie should hopefully get in in the next day or two, but regardless I could use any advice for the moment being: Lincoln has been much darker the past few days and has been "black bearding" often. She finished shedding about two weeks...

    Gravid.. for awhile?

    I adopted a 2 year old bearded dragon back in November and found out he was a she in January at the vet. The vet x-rayed her at the time and saw some developing eggs that had not been fully formed. I made her a dig box and ensured all of her lighting, feeding, and calcium was correct. It is...

    Live Feeders on Vacation

    I am going on a brief vacation for 3-4 days and my bearded dragon will be in the care of someone else. My beardie usually eats live feeder crickets, dubia roaches, and/or super worms (along with her salad) every day. Is it okay for my beardie-sitter to feed her freeze-dried crickets for the...

    Stool problems with new adult beardie

    About 3 months ago, I adopted my first bearded dragon from a friend that couldn’t care for her anymore. She raised him since she was tiny, and she is now almost 2 years old. After spending quite a bit of time reading about bearded dragon care, I realized that there were a few things that could...
