We took in a partial albino leo from a law student that was rehoming her because law school is so demanding on her time. She seems very well cared for, and healthy. She is 1.5 years old, a total sweetheart, and seems to be adjusting well to the move. We have had her 2 days, and finally got her...

(note: title was changed after we got him) We have been over in the beardie forums for years... Love my beardies, they are my kids too. We have a new member arriving in a couple days, all I know at this point is that he is a California Kingsnake, he's about 1 year old, approximatley 18 inches...

So the decision was completely up to Carl, because Xena was his babygirl, and I know no-one else in the world can ever replace her... but he has always wanted to raise a baby dragon, seeing as how 3 of our 4 are rescues, and adults when we took them in... So darn if they aren't totally like...

Ok, so Quasi has a hard time with live feeders, yet he looooves to hunt. We pick out the white soft supers that have just shed, because they are so much easier for him to chew (he is missing 1/2 of his upper teeth). He bolts across his cage or jumps a foot at a time to run and get 'em. So...

Retained shed can be serious. One of our mods went thru an ordeal with her Ming, and her story has inspired me to post our story now. Our ordeal was not quite retained shed, it was instead a bloodclot in the tail. Xena, our 5-year-old girl, has had some retained shed on the end of her tail for...

We finally figured it out, why Quasi slobbers and bites his tongue! For those of you who don't know Quasi's story, we rescued him last year before Thanksgiving, and he was severely malnourished, small for his age, and was formerly housed with others. He was a doorstop dump at a local petstore...

For a 5 year old beardie, she's pretty spritely still. This spring, after everyone was super lazy brumating, she will jump 1/2 the length of her cage toward Crash... it reminds us of a new puppy that pounces and wants to play. She does this, all the time with a creamy white belly, but a...

(new scope pics added 12-13 & 12-14!) If anyone else has learned to do their own fecals to help save money inbetween vet visits, I have some questions... We have ordered the Amscope 40x - 800x scope with USB camera, I know its more than we need, but the kids can use it for other stuff, too...

Hi, I think I finally have my own name. My new family calls me "Quasi", for Quasimoto in a story about a Hunchback of Notre Dame. I have a hunched back like that, and my spine is all curvy too. That's ok, I get around ok... I lived with some other people for awhile, I've lost track of time so I...

Our original thread got auto-locked: http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=110150&st=0&sk=t&sd=a But here is an update for those of you who knew we took in a rescue mid-July ... we did officially name him Psycho, he is nuts. I do honestly believe there are a few other animals...

I have been hand-picking the Japanese beetles off my ROS, which is finally about 8-9 ft tall this year... I also have a scent trap to draw the beetles away, so I don't use any pesticides straight on the plant. Would the flowers be safe to feed Xena & Crash & new baby? Or could the beetles have...

Crash & Xena ran out of supers, and weren't in the mood for dubia. Ok, run to store to get a couple dozen until the bulk shipment arrives. Hmmmm... they only have about 8, and they're not real healthy looking. Ok, off we go, but our eyes had to check the beardie tank before we leave (y'all know...

Ok, I've been around the boards for a little while now, and have really read up on the lighting issues. I would not call myself an expert, but have taken notes on all the lighting issues to give my two proper husbandry. We use the PowerSun MVB UVB bulbs, 100watt for each enclosure, in the...

Ok, I have become paranoid of fireflies -- my heart hurts for anyone who has lost their beloved dragon to this seemingly innocent little bug... but now I find myself doing a "firefly check" of clothing before the kids come in at dusk from playing... and if we run an evening errand or whatnot...

Ok, I'm sure I'll be getting cute pics before y'all know it, but it's really safe for them to eat these? I have lots of windowboxes & planters, and I'm growing all these (including "supertunias, the ones that love to drape over the walls & boxes)... is it ok to give Crash & Xena a little bit...

Ok, so we're gearing up the lake trailer ... dragons going with us ... have 40 long w/tank divider for weekend housing (mostly nighttime usage) ... BUT we bug-bomb at the beginning of each season, to rid the trailer of spiders / ants. It just dawned on me that the carpeting may hold residue of...

Was running low on chow in habitats, so I did the fridge thing to buy a day's time (until dry chow arrived) ... they seem to be taking a really long time to get moving again? What is normal timeframe for them to act normal? We just got HW eggs (kids wanted to try hatching them) -- made the...

We ran across this product, and before we bought one, were wondering if anyone else uses it to sterlize viv furniture or tiles, etc. -- basically anything that gets nailed with poo? It is supposed to eliminate bacteria, fungus, mold, etc -- and claims to kill staph, salmonella and e-coli +...

So I'm sitting here checking the email for work, and daughter hollers, "Mom, come quick, Crash is bulging his eyes!" -- so grab the camera quick, NO batteries... oh, yeah, killed the batteries the other day, grab new ones... Get over to the tank, and with kids underfoot, cannot hold the camera...

Hahaha, I just couldn't resist this one -- Crash lately seems to really love being petted ... but his favorite "pet" is with hubby's beard! Oh my, I don't think I can compete with that one! :roll: Crash has gotten tangled in my hair, and likes to crawl under it and 1/2 way around the back of...
