I feed low protein feed for my roaches. I believe it is healthier and better for the roaches. All the feed that I use is in the 14-16% protein range. The higher protein will get them to gain weight a little faster but at a health cost.

My female dragon was a year old when I bought her. After a month she laid an infertile clutch. About a month later she acted real restless and started head bobbing at me and my wife. At this time she was also black beard for most of the day. I talked to Tracie about it and she had a few...

I thought it might be a vitamin and/or calcium deficiency. I have been giving her the Vitamin B complex that beautiful dragons sells. Also I have gave her a few doses of the liquid calcium glubinate. No change yet.

Sorry for taking a while to reply, we are in the middle of moving so things are a bit hectic. I moved her closer to the UVB and bumped the temp us a little too. No change yet. I called my rep vet and they are booked for about 3 weeks. I do use a local vet that I really like but he is not a...

I was told by tracie not to dust 5 times a week for adults. My uvb is the tube not the compact, I know that the compacts are bad. I have tried to move the basking spot to a higher tempature a few times last year but she just doesnt want it that hot. If I go much above 95 she will never go...

She has been acting this way for a few weeks. She has never laid eggs the 3 years that I have had her. Her urates look normal, white and not real hard. She absolutely loves her bath, she will just swim and swim and when I get her out she gets pretty mad at me. She gives me that look of "I...

My adult female has been acting strange the last few weeks. When she walks she kinda wobbles and almost falls down. Occasionally when she is getting out of her hammock she will fall over on her side and has a hard time righting herself. Also when she tries to eat a roach or worm she will till...

My dragon has had a retained shed in her ear canal for a while. She has went through 2 or 3 sheds and it is still there. My dragon is about 3 years old. I have tried using a Q-tip dipped in water to keep the shed moist while she is in the bath. Is there anything I can try, I have not tried...

To shed some light on the subject: I use a 'florescent' UVB bulb. I use the Reptisun 10.0 Do NOT use the reptiglo bulb. To get UVB for you dragon you will have to use either a florescent type bulb or a mercury vapor bulb. As for a basking light anything that puts out a good amount of light...

I have not used this design but i am planning on making one like this when i move in a few months. http://www.arbreptiles.com/cages/incubator.shtml

Mine are growing, its just slow, i have added 2 different batches to the orignal so i have several sizes growing. My largest ones are now probably about 3/16" long now.

When i transfer my beetles i just pick them up one by one and transfer them. It does take a while but i have had good luck like that.

This sound just like my male dragon. No eating salad but will eat worms. Not much basking, mostly hiding and sleeping. He did the same thing last year and i was extremely worried but found out it was just his way of brumating. He is already doing it this year, he seems to go in pretty early...

After she laid her eggs on sunday (9-28-08) she ate like a pig. Like i said in a previous post the vet told me to keep an eye on her and he would make it right. She ate and ate and ate...but never had a bowel movement. It is now 10-6-08, 8 days later still with no poop. I figured she might...

Yesterday i notice 2 of my beetles were chewed up. Upon closer inspection i noticed very small worms. :D I guess my first batch just didnt work, but this one sure did. I removed all the bedding and put in a separate container.

Im not sure Fres, i was wanting to know also. I have been trying to breed them for a while. I get plenty of beetles but no babies yet. I had beetles for over a month and i removed all the oats and put it in another container to hatch the eggs. Well after another month i still have no babies...

Yes it has been and ordeal for her and a big adventure for my wife and I. I am hoping we are near the end, still have to get her stitches out, that appointment is Oct 14. Still have a few doses of meds left (oh boy fun fun) but like i said nearing the end.

When I checked on her this morning she had a small poop with one egg with it. That made a total of 11 eggs passed!!! She ate very good this morning and ate quite a bit of salad during the day. I called the vet this morning and he told me that he tried to work as quick as he could so she was...

Hello thanks for the quick replies. She hasnt acted like she was in pain but has been very restless, head bobbing and some black beard the last week. I assumed (never assume i know) it was the hormone differences. She has also been digging like crazy but i thought that maybe her body was...

OK, big news as of right now (sunday 9-28-08 4:25 central time) she started to lay eggs. What in the world is going on. She has laid 8 so far. I am completly at a loss as to what is going on. She has been digging for the last few days but again i figured it was hormones. If she had her...
