My cat got into my beardie's cage this morning and it looks like she scratched his right eye. Is there anything I can put on it to help the swelling/irritation go down? Or do I just leave it alone?

My lab sends lots of vertebrate species to be CT-scanned for our research. The scans are then uploaded to a program called Osirix, which allows us to manipulate scans in 2D or 3D. My beardie was scanned last month, and I did a quick 3D volume rendering: Later we'll manipulate the scans by...

For the past 10 weeks I've been away at an internship and wasn't able to bring my beardie along, so my roommates have been taking care of him. Before I left I prepared a bunch of collared greens and spaghetti squash, chopped them up, and wrapped them in individual tin-foil balls as daily veggie...

I'm about to get a male/female pair of tribbies, and I just have a quick question. I've been googling their care for a while but there seem to be mixed opinions about heating. So can any tribbie owners clarify whether they need a heat pad or not? I appreciate any advice. :)

I'm interested in breeding my male bearded dragon. He's a 4-year-old 16" sandfire morph. He's a bit petite, probably because he was quite sick when I received him as an 11" juvie; he had some improper caring, but he healed quickly and I take him to the vet regularly. His illness had nothing to...

I was at the pet store the other day and saw a product that I'd never noticed before. I didn't inspect the item much, I only glanced at it, but from what I saw, it looked like it was a calcium spray for reptiles. Right now, I use a calcium/vitamin D3 powder, and it's so messy and it sticks to my...

Hi everyone! I have a quick question concerning quarantine. Right now I have a 3-year-old bearded dragon and two tarantulas in my dorm room. Well I'm a bit concerned about the fact that the only living space I have is a 12'-by-12' dorm room, and I'm going to go to a reptile expo in a couple of...

A friend and I got together a little over a week ago and started working on this plush, inspired by my beardie, Irwin. :D It took a very long time to make, and we got stumped a lot by the anatomy (it was the first time both of us had ever attempted to make a stuffed animal). Most of the parts...

Hey everyone, I have a question concerning heating my beardie's basking side of the tank. I have an 8.5" black ceramic heat emitter and I usually use regular 100-watt light bulbs. I remember that setup working in the past, but for some reason, it doesn't seem like that's doing the job anymore...

I went to Petsmart today with Irwin, who was such a celebrity - a bunch of people stopped me to ask questions about him and pet him and stuff, it was so fun! I was there to get supplies for the new gecko I'm gonna get in a couple weeks, but also to get some new items for a complete feng shui of...

...I was quite bored at the time LOL :mrgreen:

A friend of mine recently started getting into making animal and cartoon character hats with fleece and felt and sewed by hand. I went to her house yesterday, and she showed me how she makes her hats, and after making a quick visit to the fabric store, I made a beardie hat, modeled after my...

My beardie recently "woke up" (I guess you could call it that) from his brumation and is really skinny - well, for a beardie anyways lol. I went to the pet store today to get him some crickets and instead saw some boxes of live wax, meal, and super worms for sale. I'm really sick of dealing with...

Now that the AP Biology exam is over and the school year has winded down some, I asked my teacher if I could bring in my bearded dragon someday and do a presentation. He said I could, but I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I'd be more comfortable doing a tarantula presentation since I have more...

This has been worrying me for a while now. Ever since Irwin got out of brumation a couple months ago, he's gained a new behavior that I'd never ever seen him do before - head bobbing. He's only doing it in his sleep, but it's very frequent (he probably bobs a few times every 30 minutes or so...

Something very bad happened today while I was asleep on the couch. This morning, I was woken by my mom, who was freaking out and screaming at me, saying something about my room and smoke. So I ran up to my room, smelled a very strong and putrid odor, and found my dad up there, carrying Irwin's...

Scan your beardie with your computer scanner! :lol: It doesn't hurt them or bother them, and it looks adorable! From my old scanner (Irwin was awake here): From my new and better scanner (Irwin was asleep this time; he's a deep sleeper, so it didn't disturb him):

I'm sure a lot of people have weird stories of their beardies eating or trying to eat something really odd... Well this one has to top them all off. The other day, I was trying to forcefeed Irwin (he's been refusing to eat lately...) when he suddenly grabbed my thumb and bit the tip of my...

...again. When I first got him (about a year and a half ago), he had it, along with pinworms and giardia. And the vet bill was crazy. He got healed up and everything, but about 3 months ago, I sent in a fecal sample and they said that he had coccidia again. So, yet again, I bought the medicine...
