    can't keep food down

    So, things have been going along swimmingly with our little Princess for four years almost. Been through egg laying, several brumations, etc. NOTHING has changed in her tank or her diet -- everything is all the same. But a few weeks ago, she began to eat her food (small pieces of yellow pepper...

    some observations to pass on

    Well, the last time I posted was back in April, I think and Princess was in egg mode. That was new for us. I can report that a) she went through two separate egg laying phases, separated by about two weeks. We didn't find the egg(s) from the first phase, but we did from the second. We dissected...

    Egg laying report

    If some of you remember, a couple weeks ago Princess was apparently going into egg-laying mode (very active, digging on the hard wood floor, no eating). And some of you generously shared your expertise on creating a place for her to lay her eggs. So, first we tried her cricket feeding tub with...

    Digging

    Mine is doing exactly the same thing - except she prefers to go through the digging (sort of looks like swimming on one side) on the hardwood floor. She just looks at her sand and says "let me out". She's pooping ok, isn't dehydrated. My guess is she's going through the lizard version of a...

    Creating a "habitat"

    Hi. We added an addition to our home, which is going to allow me to move some filing cabinets, etc. and will free up quite a bit of space in the bedroom in which Princess' terrarium (cage) is located. She is a large lizard (18 inches, six years), and the cage we have is barely big enough (50...

    We lived through our first brumation!

    Hi, all. This is just a "report from Princess-land" - in case it is of interest to others who are even newer to beardies than we are (pretty hard to do!) We have now had Princess, a 6-year old 18-inch beardie, for 1 year, 4 months, and have successfully negotiated our first brumation! We have...

    Coming out of brumation?

    Hi. There has been a lot of discussion about brumation - in particular, going INTO brumation. There has been less discussion about coming OUT of brumation. Do they just wake up one day and act hungry? Do they go back and forth for a while? Princess went into brumation in August, and we've been...

    Meet Princess!

    OK , everyone, let me introduce Princess (I don't have pictures yet). She is 5 years old, kind of a blue-gray, and is about 18 inches long nose to tail tip. She is very tame -- likes to be carried, held, and hand-fed. She HATES baths. She loves to hang off her basking platform in the oddest...
