    Beardie seems to have stomach/back spasms or twitches

    Thanks Tracie, and Janie, She seems to be doing about the same. I bought the Herpivite powder and other one listed since I had a differenct calcium dust and was using Fluker's spray on-vitamin for their salads. I was wondering if you can overdo calcium and vitamins? Should I only dust the...

    Beardie seems to have stomach/back spasms or twitches

    Thanks so much for your feedback. She is doing much better, but not as active as I'd liked to see. The twiches seemed to have diminished or gone completely. She is eating some of her salad with veggies and fruit, but not like she did previously. I have purchased a good thermometer as...

    Beardie seems to have stomach/back spasms or twitches

    Thank you both for your replies. Sorry I haven't been in touch recently. She seems to be doing much better. I replaced her bulb with a reptisun 10.0. She has been pooping more frequently and is eating pretty well. (Her main insect food source is superworms or dubia roaches- I have a colony...

    Beardie seems to have stomach/back spasms or twitches

    Beardie went to vet today. She wasnnt impacted but did have a parasite and was given a wormer and a couple different vitamin shots. She seems to of perked up some from that, but I'm sure alot of it was beardie attitude at all the bodily violations. I also got a good thermomer that I have on my...

    Beardie seems to have stomach/back spasms or twitches

    Hi, my year old female beardie seems to be having some muscle twitch or spasm at irregular intervals and is not as active, most likely because of discomfort. This started over a week ago when I became worried about her being impacted (she hadn't pooped in a week.) When I had her out on me and I...

    Best book on bearded dragons?

    I agree the info. on this site is way more expansive and I have had much helpful advice from this site since I joined with my first beardie. I in NO WAY could say enough good things about this site (free, ability to get direct advice to your questions from many other beardie owners, info. on...

    Best book on bearded dragons?

    I was wondering if any of you beardie dragon pros. have a favorite or recommended book on these creatures. There are so many out there and I assume the most recent publications are probably the most knowlegable, but I thought there may even be some experts on this site who have published a book...

    Is something wrong?

    Got new light today (Reptisun 10.0 with lamp.) After a couple of hours of it being on she started arm waving (something I never her saw her do before, so I guess she was happy. ) Humidity has dropped a little and she seems fine now. I'll have to post pics of my two beardies. Thanks for all your...

    Is something wrong?

    Could the reading on the humidity be wrong? It seems like if the humidity was that high there would be moisture on the glass of the enclosure like a tree frog tank or something.

    Is something wrong?

    Humidity is 52% (according to new thermostat) I do not have a water bowl in the enclosure and have not been spraying her. It has been very humid here lately. I live near St. Louis, Mo. and it has been very muggy.What is A CHE? I could not use the heat lamp so much if it gets too hot. I'd...

    Is something wrong?

    Herpfreak, I got the recommended temp. gauge from walmart and her humidity is a little high. Is that a problem, and if so how can I take care of it?

    Is something wrong?

    I'm glad to know about the calci-sand. The dragon I wrote in about has playground sand, and since I have discontinued the use of the flourescent coiled compact and given her time outside, she has defficated, stopped closing her eyes, and oddly enough, has resumed eating (though not intaking the...

    Is something wrong?

    I don't have a reptile leash, but I think I may need one the way she darted. Either that or some kind of pen to put her in. I'll definately get that thermometer from Wal-Mart. I did take pics of her outside and was wondering how to post them. I let my smaller one out today and as soon as she...

    Is something wrong?

    I do need to measure temp. I brought her outside for awhile today, which she enjoyed so much she thought she'd try to fight me when I caught her trying to escape from me in my garden. She's never struggled with me so much. I put her back in her tank, and will puff up and gape at me now when I...

    Is something wrong?

    Thanks for responding! I will lower to basing site to 6 in. when I get a new light. She does have a 100 watt heat lamp. I used to use 150 watts, but it gets so hot in the summer in our living room I lowered the wattage. I only have a couple questions left for now. Earlier it was asked: Can...

    Is something wrong?

    I have unplugged her compact flourescent until I get the recommended bulb. I read some of the article on coil compacts listed above, which really scared me! I just used the type of buld the previous owner had used. I do admit the long article on compacts was a little over my head. So for a...

    Is something wrong?

    I will definately change her bulb. As for laying eggs she has never been bred, but the woman I got her from last year said she was purchased for that purpose and she was just now at breeding age when I got her. Can unbred females lay eggs? She pooped again today, but not a whole lot. (The...

    Is something wrong?

    Hi, I have 2 bearded dragons (both females, seperately housed) and the 3 year old has acted differently lately, although I'm not sure if something is wrong (brumation maybe, etc.) She has been staying on her perch for nearly a week now (occasionally she gets down, but not often.) Yesterday she...
