ah, thanks for the help! I was worried about the extra discharge afterwards but she's fine now as far as I can tell.

So, I had to take Serena out of her cage for cleaning and I noticed there was a hair stuck on her. I pulled it off until I noticed there was some resistance, and then I realized that the hair was INSIDE of her. Now, as a person with hair longer than some people's arms, I've had to pull my hair...

The reptile carpet I use now certainly works, but it's a hassle to clean and Serena doesn't seem to enjoy the texture, she's always on her hides, ledges or rocks except during feeding. I have a spare bag of eco earth that I plan to use for a dig box, but I would also like to make a bioactive...

Eating right off the plant isn't a bad idea, my tortoise loved it and it'll let him grab a snack whenever he's hungry, but you need a lot of space in your enclosure and need to grow something that can grow in the heat and humidity of a beardie cage. http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html...

I'm no expert, but I've heard that some dragons who were raised on a pellet diet or otherwise not given greens sometimes just don't know how to eat them, and try to lick them up or just peck at them. Maybe the store or owner who had him before you didn't give him greens. Maybe try assisting him...

My parents might let me get the worms every now and then, and yes, I will be using vitamin and calcium supplements! Thank you for linking the guide, it's super useful. Good to know most of the good staples are stuff I have easy access to! I didn't know they could eat cactus pad, does that...

Aww, my parents said no to the discoids and I'll probably have to use crickets. At least they said I can buy the bulb.

Thanks for the recommendations! I'm not entirely sure my parents will be comfortable with the roaches but I'll try to convince them, they've bought live worms for the compost bin before. I plan to use the reptisun 10.0 but don't have it yet, but I do have a ceramic heat emitter and a basking...

Dubias are illegal to ship to Florida (yet for some reason most scorpions are not. A tiny harmless colony of ovals with legs meant specifically to be eaten is WAY more dangerous than literally all the scorpions you can fit in a truck. sure.), which is unfortunate because they're such great to...

I was finally able to convince my parents to let me get a beardie! I have a local pet store that sells various kinds of great substrate for cheap. I have lots of wood, bowls and hides at the ready to set up my enclosure, but I don't know what substrate I'd need to use. I know sand of any kind is...

I noticed that the two pictures of the beardies that alternate at the top of the site are being housed on sand... shouldn't these pictures be replaced with ones exhibiting better husbandry? Small nitpick but I think we should showcase pictures with proper care.

Maybe one of the reasons he isn't eating is, in addition to his previous husbandry and possible MBD, he's stressed in his new environment and needs a while to adjust.

Is there a blockage in his abdomen perhaps? As far as I know, MBD isn't a thing that just happens overnight, it happens over long periods of time, and it shouldn't develop if you're keeping them in proper lighting. Check if he's been pooping and eating properly, since intestinal blockage can...

I'm not buying one from a pet store because most of them get their beardies from mass breeders and I don't support many of their business practices, but I'm also not buying from an online breeder because it is VERY hot out right now and I don't want it to die during shipping (also some people...
