    Need help from Experienced Admin/beardie owner

    Beardies and Cancer

    Tatty, Sorry to hear of Popcorn's passing. I know what you are going through. My last beardie Gizmo was doing fine or so I thought. I teach and he was home with my last summer and then toward the end of August(2009) he was black bearding so I took him to the vet on a Wednesday afternoon...

    Houston 4th Grade Teacher

    As far as him sticking his tongue out at you - yes that is the way they taste. Puffnstuff still does that to me sometimes when I go and get him. Here is what he does sometimes but then once I get him out of the tank he just sits on my shoulder. I can even take him into the pet store with me...

    Hercullette's meet and greet!

    How did it go? My petco had one also, so after the vet's visit I stopped by with Puffnstuff and it was empty. Nobody by the reptiles it was dead for a Saturday. I talked to the person that was there and he didn't even a reptile, but he really loved Puff. Hope yours was better.

    The info on that site seems to be very accurate. I would use it as a bases and then research more as you go on. I started with a 10 gallon tank with mine and then decided that he needed more room because he was climbing everything, so I upgraded to a 20 gal long and he seems to be very happy...

    leopard gecko shedding

    I usually just spray water on the feet and get them really wet and help the shed off. Do you have a moist hide in the tank for him that usually helps with the feet.

    10 year old - lifeless

    I'm not sure you need to buy a new hood. If you have a fixture for a tube light here is the light you should be using: http://www.petmountain.com/product/reptile-fluorescent-bulbs/504983/zoo-med-reptisun-10.0-uvb-bulb.html or you can consider a MVB (your tank is big enough). Sorry I can't be...

    Where can I get egg crates??

    Go to your local diner and ask them to save some for you. Most will do that, most of the time you can get 8 or more a day. The best part are they are FREE!!!

    calcium question

    So, it's ok to dust his salad instead of his feeders right. Also is there anything I can use instead of the vitamin powder he really doesn't like it.

    calcium question

    Ok this may seem silly but I need to know if it is ok to do. I put a dish of green in the tank 2x a day for Puffnstuff sometimes he comes down off his basking spot to go to the bowl but usually doesn't eat any. If he is by his dish and I sprinkle the calcium on it he will chow down on his...

    Please help!!!!! RIP dear one

    I'm with you I would not put him down either. Spike might not be eating if he is ready to shed. I know that Puffnstuff doesn't eat much when he is ready to shed. Please keep us posted and let us know what the vet says on Friday.
