    Stuck shed? Black back

    OK I will make a concerted effort to raise the humidity by misting the cage and monitoring it. Thank you all, promise I will keep you updated. :)

    Stuck shed? Black back

    Oh good you think it will eventually come off? That is a relief, it doesn't look necrotic do you think? I will start misting his cage (although the hates it when I spray him lol). Do you think once daily or how frequently? I at one point was monitoring the humidity but then the battery died in...

    Stuck shed? Black back

    Hi all. I’m starting to get concerned about this black coloration on my dragon Neo. It looks like stuck shed and it’s been like this for over a month. I thought he would eventually shed it off but it’s not changing. I’ve given him warm baths and rubbed the area with a toothbrush but I don’t know...

    Hiding Over Two Weeks - Brumating or Sick?

    So I think we figured out the problem. We took him outside today and let him bask in the sun for about 10 minutes until he warmed up and then gave him a bath and he pooped!!! Now, he really had to push, he pushed hard about 3 times until poop started coming out. This is not normal for him at...

    Hiding Over Two Weeks - Brumating or Sick?

    That is a great idea, yes I will do this tomorrow! I usually like to give him roaches on the back porch so he runs after them to get exercise but since he's been hiding I haven't taken him out there.

    Hiding Over Two Weeks - Brumating or Sick?

    Oh sorry you did say non Citrus. Got it. I will try to gently open his lips to hydrate him as you suggested, thanks! I did weigh him today, he's 534g right now. I've also measured him and he's ~19 inches. I bathed him hoping he would poop but no luck. His last poop was on 06/24 and he has a few...

    Hiding Over Two Weeks - Brumating or Sick?

    I have never seen Neo drink a drop of water. When I put him in the bath he does not drink. I've angled his head down to show him its water he will not drink. I use an eyedropper with water right on his snout and he will not lick it. I lightly spray his face so its dripping wet, he lets it drip...

    Hiding Over Two Weeks - Brumating or Sick?

    Hmm...yeah, I never considered the color temperature the of basking bulb. I figured its just a heat source. The light is a GU10 Halogen bulb, box doesn't say the color temperature but it does have a yellowish tint not exactly bright white. I just ordered a kitchen food scale, I am curious of...

    Hiding Over Two Weeks - Brumating or Sick?

    I use a hand-held digital thermometer gun. On the slate rock the temperature is 92*F and when I put my bare human hand on it its not hot to the touch. I will say he never really basks on it for more then an hour. He always moves to his log. The UVB bulb was purchased in February of this year, so...

    Hiding Over Two Weeks - Brumating or Sick?

    My wife and I are going insane trying to figure out what is wrong with our bearded dragon. His name is Neo and he is about 10-11 months old. We don't know his actual age because we bought him from Petco on October 1st 2022 and they told us he was 6 weeks old which would put his birthday in mid...

    What insects if not crickets and dubias?

    So what is it that is so bad about meal worms? I can scratch out impaction as I've fed mealworms for months at a time and had 0 issues. Is it the that they are fatty? Is the only reason they're "bad" is because there are "better options"? What if those better options are not options for me lol...

    What insects if not crickets and dubias?

    I was curious what other options are there if you do not want to feed crickets or dubia roaches? Hornworms and silk worms seem difficult to keep and only good as a snack? BSFL are too small. This leaves us with mealworms and superworms which everyone says to stay away from. I will NOT keep...

    Just curious

    How bad can a bite be? I've seen a few videos of people being bitten, but none seemed to even be bad enough to break the skin. I guess if its a food bite?

    Already 18 inches

    I was wondering the same thing. At first I thought maybe I miscalculated my beardie's age due to his size but looking at Joey they seem to be about the same. I measured Neo last night and he's about 17", so right in line with yours. Are you planning on getting a new enclosure? I have him in a...

    Obese beardie?

    Thanks! He does seem big for 5 months old. The pet shop told us he was 6 weeks old in October and looking at pictures of him at that time he was definitely a baby. So maybe he's a few weeks older but he has to be around 5-6 months max. I do feed him 3 times a day. I don't think Herman is too...

    Obese beardie?

    Yeah I am pretty sure he is a male. I've seen the two bumps pretty pronounced but I will get a picture and post it here just for a second opinion. Do you think "he" could possibly be a female?

    Obese beardie?

    Thank you guys so much for replying! So he is a leatherback, thank you for confirming that! My wife liked him because he wasn't so "spikey" and I wasn't sure if he was a morph of any type. He was listed as a "red morph" in the local pet shop we got him at but after doing some research there is...

    Obese beardie?

    Lately my bearded dragon, Neo, has been looking a little fat. We took him home 10/01/2022 (at 6 weeks old) and I believe he was born in late august so he's about 5 months old now. About 3 weeks ago now I was feeding him a diet of 40% mealworm : 40% bsfl : 20% salad. He was starting to look...
