my beardies about 2 years old and the past few days when he wakes up in the morning he freaks out inside the tank. he tries to get out, banging himself against the glass and running back and forth. its a little annoying to be honest with you because its been waking me up lately :shock...

Hi everyone.....the past few days my little guy hasnt been himself...especially right now when i just got in from work! he is hiding in the corner of his tank, and his color is dark. i took him out and he immediately lightened up and seemed happier but just limply fell asleep laying on me. last...

i just had to share this experience because i am so enraged over it that i cant sleep at night. the other day at my local petco (HELL for animals) i saw a tiny enclosure, only about 10 or 12 inches long, filled with baby beardies. selling for $79.99. EVERY single one of them looked like it was...

Last night my beardie looked like he was trying to poop but it was ONLY liquid that came out. his papertowels were just wet, like a small puddle. why did this happen?? ive never seen it before. here is some extra info that might help to give me advice.. he is 2 years old. ive had him for a year...

sanitize everything??? i bought it from another person, so its not brand new, and there used to be another reptile in there. i also have the wood and rocks set up for him to sit on, but id like to make sure those are clean too. i wiped down the tank with clorox wipes and its completely spotless...

i've had my beardie for about a year and a half now. he is almost 2. i've never had any health problems with him, have taken him for vet visits every now and then to get fecals and stuff. i have him in a 55 gallon tank, with plenty of logs/plants for basking. he has a reptisun 10.0 tube uvb, and...

my beardie is about a year old, but hes kind of small still. he is healthy, i bring him to the vet once in a while for checkups. i have him in a 40 gallon tank. i want to know what wattage should the basking bulb be? i have a 100watt in there now, but the thermometer is only reading 95 on the...

My new beardie (9 months old) is really skittish and doesnt seem to enjoy being held. Sometimes when i pick him up he kind of lunges at me and has scratched my face before. I had another beardie for 2 years who passed away a month ago, and he was always SO loving and wanted me to hold him and...

My new 9 month old beardie is shedding for the first time since i got him about a month ago. His whole face and tail is about to shed (i can tell because its a gray-ish color) and lately he hasnt really had an appetite..will this be caused from shedding? he used to eat SO much that i could...

My vet moved out of the area a few months ago, and i just got a new beardie...i want to have a fecal done for him to be on the safe side. The vet that i plan on bringing him to when he is sick, is 2 hours away- so i dont want to drive all the way there just to drop off a sample, when he isnt...

..when people dont understand how attached you get to a beardie? i recently lost my 2 year old who i had since he was a hatchling, i loved him more than anything in the entire world! and everyone (besides my close friends and family) would look at me like....."ok..its just a reptile..its not a...

I just bought a new beardie about a week ago..hes 8 months old. The first day I bought him, he was examined by a vet that works at the pet store (they specialize in reptiles) and she told me he was a healthy beardie. The first day I brought him home, i fed him about 20 small crickets and he...

Can anyone make a suggestion here...I have my 8 month old beardie in a 40 gallon tank, and i had a 100 watt bulb in it, but that only allowed the surface temp to be like between 95 and 100 degrees. So I bought a 150 watt bulb (especially since its winter) but now the basking spot is like between...

I was gone for the day and my sister bought mealworms and fed them to my 8 month old beardie. I heard these are bad for them and im so nervous! he ate 4 or 5 of them. Also, is it ok for him to get close to a 150 watt heat bulb? His basking tree lets him get within 7 inches of the light, my...

My favorite beardie passed away last week and i brought home a new one yesterday. I know hes probably still getting used to his new home obviously, about how long does it usually take? I dont even remember how long it took for my first one to adjust because he was sick when i got him, so he...

This is dediated to my best little buddy. I wish he could still be here today running back and forth on my keyboard as i try to type- which he loved to do i guess he thought it was funny :) He always put a smile on everyones face, even my friends and relatives who didnt care for reptiles were...

I had a vet appointment for him yesterday. She poked at him a little, took an x-ray, and said "im a little puzzled! take some calcium medication and have a good day" i paid almost 250$ for this, and my beardie is getting so much worse. Yesterday he at least agreed to eat something, and was...

My 2 year old little guy threw up TWO times in the last 2 hours. He has seemed perfectly fine up until today. Right now he wont open his eyes and is breathing very heavy. He is a really light pale color except his tail which is almost black?? when i pick him up he barely moves and just lays...

My beardie is 2 years old now, and I noticed the other day he has a lump about a half inch in size under his front left arm. I guess you could say it's right near his belly...he doesnt seem to be in pain, if i touch it, he doesnt seem to even notice or be bothered by it. Any ideas what it could...
