I have a recently acquired beardie who seems to be brumating, but even the vet said it was an odd time of year for her to do that. Is it still possible? I got her about 5 weeks ago and she has not eaten much as all (perhaps 4 leaves of veggies) and she is hiding in her hidey-hole all day...

About 2-3 weeks ago I purchased a beardie from someone on craigslist. She seemed very healthy, the family was very nice, but they had lost interest in taking care of her. :roll: She had previously been on crushed walnut, but I immediately switched it to tiles. She is still in her same 50 gal...

Hi all, I'd like some advice about laying boxes. My female beardie looks like she is about to lay (infertile) eggs; quite fat, lots of digging and scratching, and not eating the past week. (I hate beardie hunger strikes- they always make me nervous.) I have only had her for about 2 wks, but she...

Hi all, it's been a while since I last posted because I've been without a beardie since my last rescue, Bowser, passed away about a year ago. I just got a beardie from someone on craigslist, and quite frankly I'm labelling it a rescue because this thing is SO overweight! Poor girl. (The family's...

Hello all. I've only had my beardie, Bowser, for a couple of months now. He usually eats his veggies voraciously and will eat as many supers as I'll let him, but he has been lethargic and lost his appetite for the past couple of weeks. Normally I would just chalk this up to brumation, but he...

I rescued a beardie (Bowser) a few months ago, and he has had a rough start in life. While I was at the rescue, I noticed that Bowser had some weird growths or callouses on his legs. (See pics) They are pretty regularly spaced, and honestly seem like some kind of wart to me. The vet there said...

Hi all. I have a question about housing a male and female together. It's been a while since I've had a beardie, but I have an eye on these two beardies that are listed on the facebook marketplace by what seems to be an incompetent owner. :x She says they have MBD, and I've asked her for more...

Hi all. It is unfortunate, but my beardie is suffering from impaction. I have already taken her to the vet and am doing all I can but I wanted to share the info on this forum so that others can possibly learn from it. Yoshi is a 2.5-3 yr old female beardie. She woke up from brumation, went poo a...

Hi all. I was just wondering if anybody was familiar with beardie signs of aging. Yoshi is healthy and relatively young (only about 3 years) so I am not worried about it per se, but she does seem to have "mellowed out" from being a youngster. Just curious if others have had similar experiences...

I have an odd issue at the moment. I set up this WONDERFUL terrarium, I'm SUPER pleased with it. Lots of plants, a waterfall, and even an underground den! I am very pleased and can't wait to get a garter snake for it! So what's the problem? Well I did have my eye on this albino checkered garter...

Hi all! Just wondering, since a lot of you have dogs, how your dogs got along with your beardies. Now no, I'm not planning on letting them both out on the floor at the same time, but my new dog, Tucker, has a fascination with the beardie (Yoshi.) Right now, the beardie's tank is on the floor. I...

Hi guys. I was wondering if any of you might live in Florida/Miami area and could give me a suggestion for cheap veggies. I moved here from Ohio last week and when I went to buy some kale, it was $3.00 at the "cheap" grocery store, and it none of it looked healthy. It was only $1.00 in...

I had a near disaster today from my lighting setup, so I'm looking for a better way to have the lights installed. I usually slide the lid to the side, with lights sitting on top of it, when I need to feed Yoshi. However, I recently got a new tank and didn't realize that when I did that, the main...

Perhaps this is a bit of a silly question, but what materials do I need/ how do I tile the floor for my beardie's new viv? I have a 40 long with a small crack on the bottom (I sealed it up with aquarium sealant.) Since I got the tank for free, I wanted to go ahead and do something nice for the...

I got a great deal today on a 40 gallon long tank, so I just wanted to brag. Happened upon craig's list last night around 1:30AM, just browsing to see if anyone had a 40gal long tank, and happened to find one within 30 minute drive. Guess what? Free! It was from an aquarium/fish store and the...

Hi all. I am curious as to reptile laws in Florida (specifically, Miami.) As I understand it, there are sometimes laws outlawing reptile keeping in tropical climates because people are afraid they will escape and destroy the native species. As far as I've been able to find out, there are no such...

Hi all! I wanted to share this comic I made of my beardie. I made it for my mom; she took care of Yoshi for a month or so when I couldn't, and she started to really like the beardie! She pretends that she doesn't like reptiles and hates feeder bugs, etc, but she grew to like Yoshi and even talks...

is there a way that I can post a powerpoint and a word document? I did a really cool (to me) experiment regarding beardies and I wanted to share it.

Hi all. I wasn't sure which section to post this under, but feeding seemed most appropriate. i'm a cehmistry major at a University in Ohio, and I am doing an experiment this semester regarding the nutritional value of crickets. Particularly, I'm going to look at the phosphorous and calcium...

Hi all! I was very happy to happen upon this site, there is an absolute wealth of information here! I was worried about Yoshi so I asked for some help in the health forum, and the vet has now given her a clean bill of health! Here's a cute pic of how she decided to hang out the other day- no...
