    brumating senior girl

    My Rosie turned 14 last June. She has been a brumater for most of this time since she became an adult. I have noticed that it may seem like she's asleep but may not be as her eyes are closed all the time. She does eat but lately she has only had one small carrot but today she didn't eat...

    concerns with our 8-year-old beardie girl

    Our Lil Squirt is now 8 (as of June 18) for a few weeks her coloring is darker than normal - even when she's in her tank under her Mercury Vapor Bulb which we installed on July 25 of 2019, so it's less than one-year-old. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? She is our...

    Mouth/tooth rot?

    Hi all I'm wondering what to look for if/when a beardie gets mouth rot. I was remembering when Deb (sweetiepie) was looking in one of her boys' mouth and noticed that he had mouth/tooth rot. Because of that I looked in Rosie's mouth and saw that the top of her teeth are black, not the bottom...

    not eating!

    Hello all For more than 2 weeks now Lil Squirt has not been eating. Until last Saturday she was avoiding the uvb we had on her. It was a Mega Ray that did good for her until the first part of May. She started avoiding her basking spot and wasn't hungry. She ate about 5 supers and 1/2 of her...

    Which Temperature gun?

    Hi all. I am going to buy a temperature gun. It's helpful to tell the correct temperature in their basking spot, especially when they sit on top of their probe. My question is, is there one that's better than another one? I posted the question on the pogona email list I'm a member of said...

    HELP!!! trouble laying eggs.

    Hi all Rosie woke us up with her scratching about an hour ago. Her dad checked on her because he heard her scratching and turning. When he got her out we noticed her vent seemed swollen and I thought it might be a prolapse so we got her soak tub ready and soaked her. She laid one egg in the...

    Age to breed beardie females

    No, I'm not trying to breed my girls but I went into our local Petsmart to look at, you know, the pretty baby beardies. They looked, to my inexperienced eyes, to be not much older than hatchlings, I didn't measure them but they seemed to be about 4 inches. The lady I was chatting with said...

    heath problem?

    Hi all. Goldie's poop has has a LOT of water in it the last several days. The poop and urate is normally shaped but there is a really lot of water around it. I've never worried because it says she's really hydrated, I believe but my husband is worried as her appetite has diminished the last...

    egg laying female, 2nd round? what soil to use?

    Hi all, This is my first post in this forum. Rosie laid about 22 eggs about 3 weeks ago. She's had a better appetite this spring then she's ever had, even as a baby/juvie beardie. The first egg laying go round was unexpected as the eggs were found in our bed when we were going to put them in...

    What should we do?

    Hi all. Goldie's 60 watt eb mega ray blew on May 13th, probably because it was plugged into an outlet but not into the ballast, anyway that's our guess. We had purchased a reptisun 10 some time ago that was never used, we put that on her and, even tho it's never been used, her appetite didn't...

    Calci sand letter

    I came in contact with this letter some months ago on another beardie email list about calci sand and how it's 'safe' and yet may cause problems. I have it and hope to be able to copy it to this post so you can see it. It actually came from the man to created this stuff and he still swears...

    Superworm substrate question

    We need some bran for the supers we feed to our girls. We used to be able to buy it locally but the only store we know of doesn't seem to carry it anymore. I plan on trying Safeway, we never go there as it's too expensive. Anyway, if I can't find bran, what else can I use for substrate for...

    My Precioussses

    I debated whether this belonged in the introduction's forum or this one but because we lost these two more than 4 years ago I decided it should probably be here as they aren't new beardies, just new to you all as I've never really shared them with you. These first two, Miss O (for orange) and...

    2010 Tucson Reptile show and sale

    We went to this show on Saturday, 9/25. It seemed to me that less vendors were there this year than last year but it was just as packed. We saw something we've never seen before. One was a Chuckwalla, native to AZ and the person who owns it has had it since it was a hatchling and it's 5 years...
