My beardie has a lump on his tail that the vet thinks is either a tumor or cyst. He wants to go right ahead and take it off. We have surgery scheduled for 1/29 and I’m honestly really scared about the anesthesia. Looking for some reassurance/other owners whose beardies have been fine after going...

Hello, I took my bearded dragon on a blanket on the roof to play. (It’s enclosed, we live in Brooklyn so there’s not many other places for him to be active) and he ate a spider. I tried to pull it out of his mouth but it was already gone. I’m really scared it was infected of venomous. The vet...

Hello all, I just ordered some water crystals for my dubia roaches and it came with this roach chow. Do you think it is healthy to feed them or I should just stick with fruits and veggies? Thanks!

Hey all! Since the days are getting longer, should I be keeping LJ's lamps on for longer than 12 hours? I have heard some do this and others do not. I am not sure of the possible up/downsides. Thanks!

My dragon has been on antibiotics for almost two months and is not showing an improved WBC count. The vet still does not know what exactly he has and we are going in for an EPH Monday, to see if we can determine what the WBC are reacting to. We switched from the antibiotic Excede to Fortaz...

Hello! My bearded dragon, LJ has been fighting an infection for quite some time now. In late November, I brought him to the vet for an impaction. While we were there, I also had them take blood and they found an elevated WBC count. They took X Rays and do not think he has a URI, however, will...

Hey all! I’ve been using a 150 watt heat bulb for some time, however I noticed my beardie started avoiding it. Since this, I switched it to a 100watt - which he seems to like better. But it’s not getting his enclosure hot enough. Does anyone have any tips? When I mount the 150watt bulb, the...

Hello! I currently live with a roommate, who has a cat. I just stumbled across information that states cat germs can be highly infectious to beardies. My dragon and the cat are not allowed to/never interact. However, the cat sheds A LOT. I am always vacuuming, there’s never been fur in his...

My beardie’s last two poops have been very strenuous for him. The Urate was rock solid. He’s currently being treated for an infection, so he just finished three rounds of injectable antibiotics from the vet. (although they told me this is not the cause of the hard Urates). I was giving him...

Hey guys! I was wondering if you all had any suggestions/tips to make LJ’s enclosure better? He has Arcadia T5 Pro 12% and the dimensions are 48 x 18 x 21 (I asked my vet if this was too small and he said that as long as LJ gets adequate free roam time, he should be just fine. Let me know what...

Does anyone have a suggestion/links for a nice hide? My local stores don’t have any nice ones and I am having trouble finding one he feels cozy in.

Hey guys! I need a good multi vitamin for my dragon. Does anyone have any experiences with Arcadia Earth Pro A? From what I have read, it seems the most natural and broad spectrum to me, but I am not sure. We already do calcium without d3 with most meals. Every 1.5-2 weeks, I will give him with...

Hey all! My beardie refuses to drink water. He winds up getting fairly dehydrated and a little wrinkly, so I shoot water water into his mouth with a syringe. I try not to do this often because I don’t want to accidentally aspirate him. He gets baths every other day, sometimes daily if I think he...

My poor girl has an infection and was prescribed .2ml of Orbax every 48 hours for 10 days. She is also getting .25ml of Lactulose to clear an impaction caused by the infection. Should I also be administering a probiotic with these drugs? I have been emailing the vet, but I am having trouble...

I am trying to make my beardie a dig box, because I have noticed some major frustration in the sensory department this week. I’m not sure what substrate to use! We had an incident a few months ago where she ate her old tank decor (a plastic leaf), so I would prefer nothing chunky that she can...

Hello! I have to get my beardie’s poop in for a fecel test today. I was hoping she would have pooped by now, but alas she has not. Is it okay if I put her in the bath before her lights have turned on? I really want to get the poop in to the vet today before I have to leave my house.

Is it normal for the little patch inside of my bearded dragons mouth to be brighter red than the rest of her mouth?

Hey y’all! Does anyone have a vet they really like in New York City? I currently go to the Avian and Exotic Center on the UWS, but I’m not thrilled. Everytime I call them with questions, I feel dismissed.

My bearded dragons poop is really runny and today her urate looked darker than normal. I’m really concerned but the vet said they can’t get me in for an emergency. Please help

I moved about 6 days ago and my bearded dragon is taking it really hard. She has not pooped at all since the move and will only eat bugs. (This is unusual, as she used to love blueberries). I gave her a soak the other day, no poop. I am trying again this morning but I am getting really nervous...
