    Rehoming 2 year old male beardie

    I have a male bearded dragon named FlapJack, just about 2 years old, that I am looking to rehome to somebody with more exotic animal experience, specifically bearded dragon experience, than I. I am posting this here because I want to avoid craigslist. Anyone who has been actively viewing or...

    Can I use branches from my backyard for reptile tanks?

    I wanted to put some climbing/"enrichment" branches in both my bearded dragon and snake tank. I know that people can collect and disinfect branches to do just that, but I wanted to know your thoughts on it. You can also get grapevines- I totally get that- but they are very pricy to get several...

    Advice on taking beardie outside and most comfy leash choice

    I want to bring my beardie in my backyard with me on a leash. I think people take them out without leashes, I did that once and he was all good, but my mom doesn't think it is a good idea at all to bring him outside. Thoughts on that? Can I take him outside on a leash? If yes, which "design"...

    Is he too skinny?

    I was wondering if my bearded dragon is too skinny. He is about 20 months old. I give him a few leaves of greens in the morning, he is really picky about them, usually eats a few. Right now he gets a small handful of watercress in the AM and eats most of it. I give him 1" roaches, about 5-6 a...

    Very active beardie? Normal?

    Hey, I was wondering how often and for how long you let your beardie roam. I have an 18 month beardie, male, and he has been really active lately, glass surfing, wall surfing, bumping wall/glass with his nose, etc. He has been doing this for months, I think ever since he came out of brumation...

    Roach subscription and vitamin question

    I started a subscription of 25 (3/4") roaches delivered each week for my beardie, who is 18 to 19 months. The space between his eyes is about an inch, but he seems to do much better with the slightly smaller ones- he struggles a bit with the 1 inch size roaches, especially if they grow a little...

    Can I feed organic spring mix every day?

    Hopefully this can be a staple food- it is a great way to get a BUNCH of variety in one "package", much less waste, etc. If I were to buy the 15 greens/veggies I have listed below, I am not sure my family would even get through it while it is fresh- and we incorporate a lot of veggies into our...

    Vegetation help

    I have been doing a terrible job in providing my bd with a range of nutrition- right now, he gets the same old thing- collards, and bell peppers, that he does not touch-if he does, it is barely- and superworms, 6-10 every other night. This means that he is not only eating 90% insect at age...

    What is wrong with my beardie?

    Ever since my beardie came out of brumation, I haven't been able to keep him stable/consistent. He is just about 18 months old. He is dark half the time, and either runs around/glass/wall slides, or has his "hands" propped up on the glass doors to see outside. He also lays down kinda snuggled...

    What is too cold for a night time temp drop?

    Hey- I have had my beardie for a little over a year and a half now, and feel like I FINALLY have the hang of temps. I am using both a probe thermometer and a temp gun (adjusted to wood emissivity) to measure the basking spot, which is a stick, and it reads roughly 103 degrees ( I am still trying...

    Safe soap for beardie?

    My BD, who is just now a full adult (18ish months), seemed to really spike his energy up after coming out of brumation. He runs around like a madman, sometimes, almost always, dropping at least a small amount of poop at some point. I am very proactive about picking it up- but I know he runs...

    impaction/parastites?

    My BD went to the bathroom today, and there was just a tiny little urate, and a "smear" of poop, that dried quickly. What does this mean? I offer collard greens daily and feed superworms

    How often to feed insects?

    I have an 18month-ish beardie. I know I should feed veggies daily, but do I still feed insects daily like when he was younger? Maybe 10 medium roaches and a hornworm or a couple superworms per day?

    Bloated BD?

    My BD seemed SUPER bloated up, I picked him up and it went down a lot, but he still seems a little bit bloated. It kinda looked like he was stretching his beard, too. Why?

    Any post-brumation advice?

    First time beardie owner, and he is finally just around 18 months now. He came out of brumation a bit ago, don't remember exactly what month/day, and seems to be doing way better than before. I feel like he had a really, really long period where he slowed down, before he actually brumated fully-...

    How do I know if my bearded dragon is happy?

    I was having an issue the other day, that the last couple of days he had wall surfed and jumped up the walls- I figured out it was too warm in there, unplugged a bulb, and he is 95% better now :) Glad I got it fixed for him. He has always been interested about looking out the glass, though. Not...

    How do I stop the glass surfing?!!! And Is my beardie okay?

    My bearded dragon recently came out of brumation, and is glass/wall surfing like absolute crazy. I am looking at him right now as he paused, and he seems to be breathing hard, (from running around?) He is LITERALLY trying to jump up the walls- sliding back and forth against the glass, seems to...

    Veggie/Fruit Master/Reference List??

    Hey, I was wondering if someone had a website that had kind of a master list of veggies that are good staples, occasional options, rare options, treats, etc that they liked. Like, every vegetable. It would be nice to have a list on the fridge/to take shopping than looking up individual things...

    Should I encourage burrowing?

    Do bearded dragons need to burrow? I know that FlapJack scratches around at night, which might be related to that natural instinct/behavior.. should I get some excavator clay or something for him? I don't want a loose substrate, but I think you can put it in a portion of the tank? Hmm, let me...

    What hide do you use?

    I don't feel like the hides that I have in my tank give my adult beardie quite enough coverage. The black plastic hide box I have fits, but he doesn't go in because the doorway itself is too small. With the half logs, it seems like his back legs and tail stick out. I am not sure how hides work...
