    Anyone want to share their own vet horror stories?

    This is more of a vent than anything, but I’m just so frustrated with my vet. I rescued my bearded dragon in April of last year. I went over to a coworkers house, saw him in an absolutely pitiful condition, and I ended up taking him home the next day knowing nothing about reptiles. Essentially...

    Clogged femoral pores?

    hi! So I’ve had my buddy Oslo (2, M) since April 2022 and we’ve been through many, many different health issues together, but clogged femoral pores is nothing I’ve ever had to deal with. I picked him up today and I think his pores are clogged? He’s in the middle of shed right now so I had first...

    Any idea why his foot gets this dark?

    I literally took these pictures within a minute of each other- every time I walk by his enclosure his foot is nearly black, then as soon as I start holding him it goes back to normal. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just another weird beardie quirk?

    Any recommendations for the setup? Ideas for more enrichment?

    I haven’t been able to get Oslo out as much recently- I’ve been very busy and away from home. I feel bad about it, and would love ideas on what I could do to keep him mentally stimulated while I’m gone. Also, disregard the dehumidifiers. We have like 90% humidity here, and his favorite thing...

    Beardie’s finger swells up without daily first aid

    Hi! So about two months ago I took Oslo outside, and I’m not sure what happened, but when I looked him over he had a pink patch right underneath what would be his pinky finger where the scales looked like they had rubbed off and it was a little irritated, like just pinkish skin. No big deal. I...

    How long can a bearded dragon go without a UVB tube? Has anyone else dealt with Zoo Med’s return policy?

    Hi! So I woke up this morning and my three month old reptisun uvb fixture was not working. I went and bought a new bulb, and it still doesn’t work. It’s the fixture itself that is broken. I have contacted zoo med since it is still under warranty, but with it being a holiday weekend, and it...

    Why does my bearded dragon have stress spots? Can they get separation anxiety?

    Hi! So my rescue, Oslo pretty much has stress spots any time he’s left in his enclosure. Never when he’s outside of it, though. It doesn’t matter if I’ve taken him shopping with me, have him in the floor, on my chest, or outside. No stress spots ever. But when he’s left in his enclosure for...

    What’s the best flooring?

    Hi! So I recently upgraded Oslo to a 4x2x2, but can’t find a floor I like. The mat I had before was really inconvenient because the poop would leak through and I would have to scrub it on both sides & let it dry (the bottom side was some sort of fabric and took forever to dry) and by that point...

    Hi! wondering what would be the best way to get a sick beardie used to his new enclosure without stressing him out.

    First of all, Hello all! I’m brand new here :). So I finally ordered Ozzie, my rescue, a new enclosure since the one he came in is way too small. The thing is, Oslo is terminally ill. While he’s pretty stable right now, he’s in renal failure and has MBD. When I took him in, the stress of having...
