    No bowel movement in a month

    Hi, My lovely 9 month old beardie has gone an entire month without going to the bathroom. He's been far less active, spending about 50:50 time between his den and the basking spot. He is only eating a minimal amount of bugs (1-2 Locusts each day). His weight has remained constant the last...

    Small white dot on bottom of eye

    Hi, Not sure if it's something I should be concerned about, as it doesn't seem to bother him, but my beardie has had a small white dot on his lower eyelid for a couple weeks now. At first I thought it might be calcium powder, but it hasn't gone anywhere. Does anyone know what it is / whether...

    Can chopped up larger feeders cause an issue?

    Hi, My beardie as an addiction to dubia roaches. With smaller dubias, he'd happily go through 20 in one sitting. That however adds up to a significant cost each meal. Something I've noticed today is that he is willing to eat larger dubia roaches that have been chopped into an appropriate size...

    Estimated adult size? 3 month old is 13 inches

    Hi, As a background, my lovely male beardie is 3 months old as of yesterday. I'm keeping track of his weight + length each week, and today he weighed in at 80 grams, and a snout-to-tip length of 13 inches (!) I couldn't believe it so triple checked. I can't find many resources online to track...

    Stuck shed? Pale turned to normal colour with no shed

    Hi all, My beardie, 9 weeks old, has been shedding quite well until now. His tail turned pale about one week ago, indicating an imminent shed, but since then it did not shed, and now his tail has reverted to his regular colour, albeit a little paler in colour, but nowhere near as pale as it...

    Is my beardie a morph?

    Hi all! He’s only two months old and is developing a really vibrant orange tint; can anyone say whether he has inherited some colour morph? He’s also a bit above the ‘average’ length at 10 inches already.

    How bright (not hot!) should the basking bulb be?

    Hi all, I have a question I couldn't see the answer to on the forum. Given a proper setup otherwise (UV, etc), and two bulbs producing equal heat at the basking spot, does the brightness of the bulb matter? I ask since I can use either a typical reptile basking bulb, or a halogen spot bulb...

    Is his tail healthy?

    Hi, He is six weeks old and his tail has been a pale shade since I got him two weeks ago. Is it stuck shed? Baths don’t do much for it, almost as if it’s the skin colour? Lighting + temps are on point, and is eating well.

    Basking temperature: air or surface?

    Hi all, I have a 5 week old beardie and I wanted to check whether I'm properly setting the thermostat. I have it set so that the probe (black end bit) is measuring the air temperature near the basking spot and set to adjust for 110f. The basking spot however is a wood branch, and I notice with...

    New baby beardie (4 weeks), feeding question

    Hi all, I’m so glad to have discovered this community. Loads of useful tips. I have a question about whether the feeding habits of my young beardie are healthy. Basically, he will only eat 1-3 dubias / crickets at a time before getting either full or otherwise losing interest in food. Then, an...
