    Clear/transparent urate?

    A few minutes ago, I had Jasper out for some roaming time and thought he was going to the bathroom, but when I checked it was just clear and watery. Should I be concerned? He hasn’t eaten anything out of the ordinary in the last few days and hasn’t touched his food yet today, and had just his...

    Mild diarrhea, no vets open

    The last two times Jasper has had a bowel movement, it has been watery, almost like mucous. It also had a tiny bit of undigested food, what looked like a couple slivers of bell pepper skin and superworm shell/exoskeleton. I tried to get a picture, but it was while he was out of his tank sitting...

    Combining adult roaches in Dubia colonies?

    Hi! A few months ago when it started cooling off, I started slowly cleaning out some of my feeder bugs since Jasper wasn’t eating much and about to go into brumation. I gave him what was left and left the bin empty - I thought. I just got a new container of small roaches (1/4” - 1/2”) to...

For instance, different types of clover - white, green, red, etc.; or dandelion greens from common, red seed, or Japanese varieties?

    Ventilation and heating safety

    I’m trying to better insulate a 24” x 24” x 48” wood sided tank with a metal screen lid and have a couple questions: How much of the screen can be covered safely to keep in heat? It does have a small vent in the back panel for cords, but I doubt it provides much air Do you recommend a safety...

    Baths for Femoral Pores

    For a couple of stubborn blocked femoral pores, how often can you soak or bathe safely? I don’t want to cause scale damage or over hydration, but after three 20-30 minute warm soaks over three days, they have started to soften but are still not coming out. Even that has been a struggle since he...

    Hello! Jasper looks to be getting ready to shed in a couple places, including the top of his head. He has a couple scales that shed individually last week, and look like they might shed again. He has two in particular that are very indented. This is the first time he has shed his head since I...

    Advice on nail maintenance

    About two months ago now, I adopted Jasper from home that wasn’t able to take care of him properly. Since then, he’s been doing great. The day after I brought him home, we trimmed off about half the length of his nails, which were very, very overgrown - literally no bleeding when cutting off...

    How to remove stubborn stuck shed?

    Good morning, Jasper here has been starting to shed around his feet the last couple days, but one of his toes is having a lot of trouble. I’ve been soaking it, but his nail is getting dark now and I’m really worried about the tissue dying. I also don’t want to damage the skin by trying to pull...

    DIY Hide dry time?

    I’m just about finished with a custom basking rock and hide for my dragon, but I’ve seen a lot of conflicting advice about dry times for sealant. I used Minwax Polycrilic water-based over a top layer of grout. Some places say to give it a couple days to air out, but others say to give it up to...

    Won’t eat from dish?

    I recently adopted a neglected bearded dragon. He’s the first bearded dragon I’ve owned, and I’m still struggling to find out certain things. In the month or so that I’ve had him, I have had little success with feeding. He doesn’t eat much at all. I wasn’t able to get much specific information...
