You need to let the breeder know that he sold you an ill animal and he should refund you, IMO. I don't know if it is against board rules, but you should tell us if the breeder does or does not refund you your money or offer a replacement. If he does not, you should let us know so that anyone...

I decided not to do it myself because I did not want to hurt the dragon, soI took him to the vet and was told that it was safe to clip the "dead shed" at the end of the tail, if I properly do it. He showed me how to do it: - You have to dip the tail in peroxide for a few minutes to soften it...

I think Reptar's tail might have tail rot and I am planning on clipping the rotted part, but I need something to prevent infection. I was thinking betadine diluted in water (so it looks like a weak tea color) and using triple antibiotic ointment for the area that I clip.

Is this the longest thread on this site?

Good luck with the search.

Would it hurt my dragon if I have D3 calcium?

I'm thinking about switching and I'd like to know why you need phosphorus-free calcium dust as opposed to as the kind with phosphor. Or was it vitamin D3 that you need not use?

Is your beardie a juvie? Sometimes juvies will not eat their salad. Also, he might not be eating as much because he/she just shed and is worn out/stressed out from that. Try soaking your dragon in warm water.

My roommate is taking care of my bearded dragon while I go back home to California for the holidays. He has an arachnaphobia and crickets scare the crap out of him. He said that worms are fine, but not anything spider-like. I'm thinking about ordering phoenix worms, but I'm ignorant to them...

I've posted this a few times before too, but all the the PETsMART stores that I've been to have been great with their pets. All the pets that I've bought from them are in good health.

Finally, someone who sees it the right way! Not every Petsmart is disgusting. I've witnessed something like this at only ONE Petsmart so far, but out of all the others, the conditions were satisfactory. Kudos for letting them know about it. If I were to see something like that, I'd ask to...

+1 about the tile and nail filing, but make sure not to use the ceramic tile since it will not give you this benefit.

First off, let me start by saying that I have lived in California and recently moved to Florida. I have shopped at PETCO and PETsMART at many different locations. I have a bachelor's in Animal Biology from UC Berkeley and I LOVE animals. I'm in school again taking some more courses before I...

I'm not defending the stores, per say. I'm just saying to be fair to them. As far as your comment about your complaints and petitions, it goes back to my whole thought on how some of the people on this site have never experienced the bad conditions first-hand, yet still will sign petitions...

I'm sure that happens a lot that people just wake up one day and want a new pet because it looks cool. I'm sure a lot of the people who post here did the same thing and I am sure that most found this board because they needed help with something that they did not know about after they bought...

You also have to consider that PETCO and PETsMART are retail stores, so you might be asking the wrong people for information. If you ask a cashier, they probably will not know about any of the pets. If you ask a dog trainer, chances are that they will only know about dogs. Same goes for the...

Thanks man!

Hey lamofbodom, Not to be a jerk and single you out, but if you are going to write a letter and try to sound professional, please proof-read it and have someone check your grammar. A lot of people will not take you too seriously if you write like you are in the fifth grade. With that said, I...

I used to live in California, but moved to Gainesville, Florida.
