    Trying again to sex my beardie

    Here is my previous thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=244370 It's a little over a month later. She/he is now a little over 100g and 12" long; probably about 4.5 months old. I did twist the tail in the pic. Thanks!

    Help confirm female?

    She (?) is 9.5" and 38g. I'm not sure of age but I'm guessing around 3 months. Can anyone confirm female?

    Older Beardie - what are signs of decline/time to euthanize?

    I know I'm NOT at that point yet but I wonder, for those who have been through this, what are some signs to look for. My female, Pheeny, just turned 11. She had an exam, fecal and blood work in the spring and the vet said she was as healthy as could be expected for her age. At her prime, she...

    Bearded Dragon Amigurumi stuffed animal

    Hi all! I'm the proud owner of two female beardies, Pheeny (10 yrs old) and Ruby (around 6 yrs old). I posted a very long time ago, a picture of a stuffed beardie that I had crocheted. It was a pattern that I made myself but I didn't have it written to post or sell. Over the years, I have...

    Questions about Reptisun 10.0 T5 HO 22"

    I have been using Reptisun 10.0 24" tube for a few years now but when I went to buy more, I saw the new T5 HO. My beardie's basking spot is only 8" away (hung inside the cage). Is it worth upgrading the fixture and getting the new bulbs? Is 8" too close for the T5 bulbs? Does anyone know if...

    I did CPR and it saved my beardie's life!

    My bearded dragon got her toe amputated last week due to a cyst. She hadn't started eating after a week, so the vet told me to start syringe feeding her Repti-aid. She is really sick of having syringes forced in her mouth (for antibiotics and painkillers), so she wouldn't swallow the food slurry...

    Possible toe amputation

    I have a 7yo female who is very healthy. Over the last year she has developed a bump like cyst on her long back toe. I took her to the vet a few months ago and after an xray they determined there was no break. They aspirated it and found some pus. They put her on a course of antibiotics and said...

    Bump on joint of long back toe

    My 7yo female, Pheeny, has always had a small bump/disfiguration on her long back toe. I figured it was from an injury as a baby. But I just noticed today that the bump has suddenly gotten bigger, it looks swollen and has a pronounced spot (scale?) on top. It's a holiday today but I plan to...

    Dark spot on skin for several months

    I have an almost 6yo female named Pheeny. She is very happy and healthy and has been seen by a reptile vet for check ups in the past. For the past 2-3 months, she has a dark spot on her side about 1/2" big that *looks* like it should be a shed spot except that it never sheds. I'm just...

    Advice for frequent diarrhea in adult

    My 5yo female beardie, Pheeny, has been pooping 2-3 times a day for the last couple weeks. About half the time it's runny like diarrhea and the other half it's normal. She is on slate tiles, has a Reptisun 10.0 tube bulb, basking temps around 105, eats collards, supers and butters. Her...

    Does nolvasan expire?

    I have a little bottle of the concentrate that has been sitting in my cabinet for years. My pet beardie, Pheeny, never poops in her cage and has never had any parasites or worms, so I've never really needed it. I just got a rescue though, who has pinworms and it would be good to use it to...

    Zeus - 2yo male rescue - 184g and 14"

    I have vaguely known of this family for years and knew that they had bought a bearded dragon. I have tried, from a distance, to get them to give it proper care. I went so far as to buy them a Megaray (unfortunately, this was when megarays were going thru their troubled times) and bring over...

    Best place to buy a "normal" juvie?

    I have had my beardie for 4.5 years. She is my baby. Well, my niece has horribly allergies so she can't have most pets. She loves Pheeny and really wants a beardie. She is only 8 so I think she should wait a couple years but her parents are thinking about it. I intend to guide them along...

    Vet Gave Dewormers Despite Clean Fecal? Advice?

    I only have one beardie, a 4yo female named Pheeny, 18" long and 530g. She has been a fairly healthy girl and gotten regular checkups with a great reptile vet. He recently left the office and is starting a new practice at the end of September. Wouldn't you know this is when Pheeny would...

    Escaped beardie - warning to all

    My 4 yo female, Pheeny, often sits in the window to sun. I leave her in my bedroom because the cats aren't allowed in there. She has been doing it for years. Well, today I went in to check on her and found that the screen had been pushed out and she was gone. Somehow one of the little clips...

    Amigurumi Bearded Dragons

    For those who don't know, amigurumi is a type of crocheted stuffed animals. I came up with a pattern to make a bearded dragon for myself but before I get a bunch of yarn and really perfect the pattern, I wanted to see if people would be interested in buying them. I have an etsy store that I...

    Upset by animal show at library today

    It was called "Frogs, Bugs and Animals" and I went with my SIL and niece. He had a bearded dragon along with a tree frog, sugar glider, tortoise, chicken, hedgehogs, bunnies, toads, and cockroaches. First of all, he told the kids to be careful with the beardie's tail because if it broke off it...
