I think she may have had a bacterial infection or microscopic parasites in her gut. A healthy dragon should not have poop stuck to its vent every day.

Hi congrats on Marlboro, he's BIG. Sounds like he is really enjoying his new home. I want a ferret hammock, that just looks so comfortable.

Thanks for the links. I will check it out.

Hi Tigg, just saw your posts. I believe in science too. I like to know how things work. Cholecalciferol (D3) is synthesized in the skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol by the action of ultraviolet B (UVB) light. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. I have the Reptisun 10 and it makes my UV...

Jumpstart works best if you hold your little darlin' while feeding and then wipe her mouth with a wet kleenex so she is not all sticky all over the place.

Jumpstart has malt syrup and molasses, both good natural sources of vitamins and sugars, and cod liver oil (yeah it's old fashioned but good for man or beast - omega 3's), and a bunch of extra vitamins and minerals. It's basically a ton of concentrated sugar and fat calories plus vitamins so the...

I have used Jumpstart and it works. One of my dragons was quite ill with watery mucous diarrhea. She rapidly became very thin and weak. I used Jumpstart to get her fattened up again so she could get her energy back and it worked really well. She ate it warmed up from an eyedropper and seemed...

No it is not normal. One of my dragons had that problem when she was sick because her poop was too wet and sticky. Is your dragon sick? I had to gently bathe my dragon after she went so that her vent would not become sore or damaged. I also had to feed her 3 times a day with an eyedropper...

The color changing in bearded dragons is very cool. My dragons can change their black stripes to blue-gray and vary the amount of orange and yellow showing, as well as bearding. This color change is made by cells in their skin called chromatophores that contain bits of color. They have...

Since they only use one hemepenis at a time, it is likely he would still be able to reproduce. Did you ask your vet this question? Here is a link to a good article about prolapse of the hemepenes that also answers your question near the end: http://www.anapsid.org/prolapse.html Good luck and...

I used to have tile for my bottom, too, but now my bottom is sandy. (I don't sleep enough either.) I have a scoop made out of metal screenwire I got at the pet shop. What to do with the doo? Double kleenex and down the toilet. It grosses me out if they poop in the bathtub so I'm glad they...

Howdy. I switched my dragons onto children's play sand sifted through screenwire when they were 11 inches long. Before that I had saltillo tiles (made of the same stuff as clay plant pots). These look kind of desert like. I like the desert look too. I tried paper towels but the crickets get...

Woah. I was searching posts because I was worried about a few little bubbles in my dragon's poop. I got her some soy yogurt. Now I realize I shouldn't be worried- I should be GRATEFUL. Someday in the future, all homes will be powered by renewable, clean burning, natural dragon gas.

My dragons are wild for sage I grow in my back garden (salvia-organic gardening). They were pretty indifferent to salad prior to that and started eating salad enthusiastically when I switched to the fresh sage leaves. They seem to very greatly prefer fresh dandelion from the farmer's market...

How much sand? I just have about an inch or two it's pretty uneven and they rearrange it into different dunes. I put in just enough so there are not bare spots, although they dig around in it. I got a bag of children's play sand at the hardware store and used about a third of the bag at...

I switched to sand when my dragons were about 11 inches long. It seemed like they would have no trouble passing a little sand with their enormous poop. I use playsand sifted through screen. My dragons tend to want to eat small things that are red, orange, or yellow so I sift out the tiny red...

We have only had our dragons since it cooled off in the fall. I just took them to see natural sunshine falling on them through a window for the first time a few days ago. We have solar film on the window so they get neither uv nor heat from the light. But they were fascinated by it and sat...

My juvenile dragons are needing a manicure too. They keep entangling themselves on anything cloth lately. They have 2 limestone rocks but I don't think basking is really wearing on their nails much. I used to have them on clay tile when they were little but they are on screened play sand now...
