So basically, I got a brand-new 40gal ZooMed tank. I haven’t fiddled with it lately, but the other day I picked it up, or moved it or something, and the door just flew straight off. I know the picture is pretty vague but basically the door isn’t going in all the way. Only one of the screws is...

I finally bought a bigger bulb (100watt) and I think Jessie is much more happier with this than his old 50watt one. I had to mess with it a bit (accidentally got temps up to around 126,, yikes lol) but now I think I can confidentially say their basking temps are about 110/111 degrees F according...

He's okay! I took him to the vet and there's nothing wrong with him haha. He just wasn't eating for some reason. But now he's climbing all over the place and eating bugs and fruits whenever he can! I still can't really figure out why he wasn't eating. Maybe he was stressed or stubborn or...

Long overdue update haha! He went to the vet, and it turns out he's not sick. The vet couldn't find any respiratory issues in him and the only problems he had was being a little underweight because he was barely eating and dry because I suspected a URI. I think you might've been right about the...

My new young beardie Jessie is sick with what I’m speculating to be some kind of respiratory infection (vet appointment is on Saturday). I do live where it’s very humid so I guess this was a given. But I just saw some fresh poop today and I’m wondering what this is exactly?? Here’s a recent...

This is so so so helpful thank you so much. I actually didn’t know crickets could bite either. That’s strange. I will try and update this thread with his condition :) Just for future reference, not saying I will do this because I would much rather cure him instead of forcing his little body to...

Yeah, :/ Today I found clear/white boogers around his mouth, so I’ll be calling a vet tomorrow (since the offices are closed today) to see if I can get an appointment sometime soon. I’m starting to think his “pop” is more of a crackle but he’s so little I can’t really tell. Until I can get him...

Forgot to include a picture of him, whoops. Sorry I’m not the best photographer haha.

Thank you. No I haven’t really reviewed my tank; his tank is quite small (10 gallons, at the time i bought him he was so tiny I unfortunately didn’t think it would bother him if he stayed for a while) but I’m currently working on getting him something between 55 - 75 off of Craigslist or...

I’m feeling extremely guilty, selfish, and shameful. I’m not even 100% sure if it’s my fault, but I’m almost certain my juvenile/baby beardie (who I’ve only had for 2 weeks honestly) is sick with an RI or cold, and I’m not sure if I’ll have the opportunity to get him to a vet. I feel like I...

Update: Checked on them before I went to bed (lights had already been off for them since 10pm-ish) and I saw them doing it a couple times with a pop noise, although I’m still nearly positive the noise is not consistent. They aren’t moving their head around in their sleep either, which I’ve heard...

He's eaten greens (basil and mint) I've hand-fed him a couple times, but recently he's been more stubborn and only eats bugs. I'm unsure how to coax him into finding them more enjoyable + have him expand his palette :/ I've heard of force-feeding some stubborn beardies but that seems a little...

Ahhh thank you for all the wonderful advice!! I'll definitely use this as reference. And yes, as far as I know, he's been eating his crickets. I think him shedding has made him a bit picky but generally he eats when given something that actually moves.

This picture isn't 100% recent, I will try to get a recent one in a few, but he was still breathing hard when this was taken (last week-ish) so I hope it's useful. The UVB I have right now is a coil within a dome positioned above the screen lid as close as I can get it to the basking side...

So, I'm a newbie to beardies. I'm a newbie to having reptiles in general, so obviously I'm a bit paranoid :( . Almost two weeks ago I bought myself a new young/baby beardie from Petsmart and he/she's (too young to gender yet, I think) been doing pretty great according to everything I've been...
