My 7yr old 24" 740g male bearded dragon Oscar was taken to the vet. He has difficulty moving his back legs, which makes it difficult for him to move in general. I've also observed muscle spasms in his back legs and tail. This is a chronic issue that has persisted for over 1yr, though during that...

Anyone here have any experience with the new style Reptile UV MegaRays? I just recieved a 100w self ballasted bulb and have let it burn in for 12hrs, and when using my Solar Meter 6.2 and 6.5, I'm observing some VERY troubling results. Before people start posting their experiences from 2009...

It was almost on this very day 6 years ago that you came into my life. You were such a little thing; braving the trip from the pet store in the palm of a hand. Your original purpose to serve as a companion for college roommates. You quickly became so much more. Our time together may have been...

Today while inspecting my male beardie Oscar (His hatchday today...4yrs old!!!), I found what looks like a bruise or a retained shed towards the end of his tail. It looks like retained shed to me, and its even sunken in a bit like its being constricted. But its so dark that I'm a bit...

There are numerous options for disinfecting a reptile enclosure, all of which have their shares of ups and downs. However one class of products that seems to always have more ups is quaternary ammonium compounds, or QUATS. Quats are used universally in the food service and medical fields because...

What are you measuring the temperatures with? Where are you measuring the temps? On the basking spot, or on the wall of the enclosure?

I got my first bearded dragon a little over 3.5yrs ago. Its been a fun ride, with some ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Bacon, a couple days after I got her I remember posting this picture in the intro section. I still have that tiny tank...she lived in it for about 4...

My female dragon has what I believe to be a torn or damaged ligament in her right rear leg. When the incident first happened there was some minor swelling above the knee and towards the hip area. However, it went down within a day or two, and the leg didn't appear to bother her. Upon a gentle...

I just ordered 6 of these free for nothing (except shipping). If anyone uses 48" Reptisun 10.0 bulbs, might be worth a look. http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=556 Reptilesupply.com is a great place. Been buying various items from them for several years now. They stock all the...

Just finished the new viv, decided to wake up Oscar and plunk him into it.... He wasn't happy. He sat there for awhile, then found a place a nice place to sleep. He's in the middle of brumation, and will probably sleep for a week before I see him again. I'm sure he'll appreciate his new digs...

Why oh why did the board delete my post....ahh :p Here we go again...this time a touch shorter. I recently received two replacement Mega Rays for ones that were flaking. I am fairly confident my male is experiencing some eye trouble as a result, but need some second oppinions. Bulbs is 14"...

My female dragon is very active in her tank. Because of this, she has worn her back nails down to pretty much nothing. She doesn't appear to be in any discomfort, and the nails appear to be in good condition, just very short. This is nothing new, ever since about 1yr she has been a glass dancing...

Just thought I would share my real world experience with an often sighted remedy for a mild case of impaction...good old fashion apple sauce! My 1.7 year old female bearded dragon, who normally poops daily, went through a dry spell for the last week. Growing concerned I started giving twice...

I heard my 1.5yo female, Bacon, russling around after dinner....this is what was waiting for me.... Boy did I surpise her :lol: So he doesn't feel left out, here are a couple recent pictures of my male, Oscar You, yes you, get over here...I need to talk to you! These greens are...

My almost two year old male bearded dragon has droopy eyes (the lids). He has been this way since I adopted him when he was six months old. I have never been overly concerned, as he is healthy....and my vet didn't say anything during his visits. I am just looking for clarification, as from my...

Hi all, I got a new beardie a couple of days ago, and I estimate he is around 6 weeks old, however he was not in the greatest conditions at the pet store, so he could have been stunted. This site was a huge help is picking out the proper equipment, for that, I thank you all. However, I still...
