    Shed or respiratory disease

    Can shed head (maybe shed in nostrils) cause open mouth breathing? My dragon is eating well, maybe a little less active (due to shed?), but he has no ocular or nasal discharge. It probably isn't thermoregulation because he is doing it often at surface temps of 98F. Thanks in advance for your...

    Mold and Superworms: Please Reply

    I have a plastic bin with a few hundred small supers for my young dragon. About once a week, I put a carrot in the bin to supply the worms with moisture/prevent cannabalism. Usually, I remove the remains in 2 days, but this week I forgot and the carrot leftovers stayed in the bin about 4-5...

    Animal Cruelty

    I think some of you may have been following this story on a previous thread earlier this year. I came upon this and thought some may like to know the conclusion. Like most animal cruelty cases, the punishment is puny compared to the crime. This is true even in Georgia where we have felony...

    Proud Beardie Mom/ Thank you All

    Hello All, I've posted a couple of times but never properly introduced myself. I have a 9 month old BD from Draggintails named Dudley Draggy. I call him Draggy: not terribly original, I know. He is my first BD and I love him more every day! He is 19.5" & 420g. He is super-gentle and trusts...
