My beardie's digit is swollen, and it is blackening near the claw. It is also sensitive for her when it is touched. I'm going to take her to the vet this week, but I just wanted an opinion on what it could be until I get in. I'm thinking it is either gout or retained shed? Any opinions...

Are both neosporin and polysporin safe for beardies? My beardie had a pimple on his left eyelid a week or so ago which brushed off. But now the spot is raw and getting purple. Which should I put on his eyelid?

I can't seem to get any temperature in between for Ty's basking spot. The two lightbulbs that I have to choose from produce somewhere between 94-97 degree temps on his rock, or they give 105-107 or so. Which would be the better basking temp to go with? He's an adult dragon; at least 3 years old.

Ok, Ty has been having problems with his right eye for awhile. If you have looked at, or check out my old threads, you'll see that. For the past couple of weeks I have been applying an ophthalmic ointment that the vet gave me to his right eye, which has ulcers from some sort of trauma. At...

Since I moved Ty (an adult beardie) off of sand about a month and a half ago, he's been shutting his right eye. He'd open it if moved or if he were moving himself, but once he lay still he went back to shutting it. He eats fine still--supers and greens both. I had been putting saline in it...

My beardie has had his right eye shut since I moved him to a sand substrate (for about two or three weeks). I moved his sand substrate out recently though because he kept his right eye shut most of the time, and I figured it was because of the sand. Is there a certain saline solution I should...

Since yesterday, my adult beardie Ty has had his right eye shut. It doesn't seem as if its swollen shut--when I pull him out of his cage he'll open his right eye for a bit, shutting it once he's comfy. I have two enclosures for him. Right now he is on play sand substrate (NOT calcisand); the...

I just took my beardie, Ty, out of the bathtub. I think he swallowed too much water or something--which is weird because I was watching him the whole time. He's in my room right now and he was foaming and spitting out water. Is there anything I can do? 5 minutes before I pulled him out he...

Hey, some people need to find a home for an uromastyx. I don't think I'll be able to help them out, but could someone tell me if there are any good uromastyx sites just in case?

I just ordered 500 supers. I'm going to get a big plastic container to keep them in, but what should I put in the container and feed them with.

Ok, so my girlfriend and I went to the arboretum by our school and outside our apartment and took tons of photos of Ty (short for Ty Rannasauras Rex, cuz he likes the macho name). I figured I'd share them on here, because I always like lookin at y'alls pics, and hopefully y'all will enjoy...

Does anyone elses beardie do the tail whip thing when you pick them up without supporting their arms? It may be more of a tail whirlwind thing.

Where's the best online place to buy superworms from?

So my Ty hasn't eaten a superworm in 5 or so days (yes, he's 17", he's big enough). I'm not too worried it or anything. I don't think he's lost weight, and he's still eating his salad and stuff. But since he hasn't really been eating, his stool has been almost nonexistent (save urates). His...

I got him about a month ago, but I haven't had time to post pics and stuff. I named him Ty. He came from some people who didn't want him, so I gladly accepted him. He's about 17 inches long right now. Lookin smug: In house for first time: Lookin: Bein' cute: Since he is 17", I assume...

I'm getting a new beardie and housing it in the enclosure that belonged to my previous beardie that died a couple months ago. I don't think the last beardie had yellow fungus, but it may have. Anyways, what should I use to clean out the cage? And what dillution should I use? White vinegar...

The vet that I was taking Jean to before he passed called me the other day and said that some people were unable to take care of their beardie and needed to find someone who could take care of it. The receptionist who was calling said she was taking care of it now, but wondered if I would be...

April 25th, 2008 - November 10th, 2008 Jean, homie... I love you dude. Beth and I picked you out despite two missing toes and a damaged mouth. We both drove an hour and a half back to Nac with you in a little Petsmart critter box--we couldn't wait to put you in your new home. You were only 7...

My beardie Jean's toes have been looking bad for the past month or so. At first I kind of thought it was a retained shed or something, but I don't think that's the case. As of now, ALL of his front toes are swollen. A few of his back toes are even worse: they are a darkish red, completely...
