So, I've got a rescue in - I'm told four years old, though rather small and has been poorly/incorrectly fed for at least two years before I was called in. Appears to be female: no raised femoral pores, flirts with boys on sight, only one faint central genital bump at the base of the tail, and...

The bulb keeps flickering, both my heat bulb and the indicator on the thermostat. I'm guessing it's on its way out? Any advice/fixing suggestions?

I'm amused to say that Frank's taken to slapping me. He was sitting in the tunnel and I leaned over and tickled his ribs with a finger through the mesh. He grumbled at me, so I tickled him again - and he swatted at me with his left hand. :D I left him to it, and went back half an hour later...

I've seen a few adults in my care do it - I wanted to find out if anyone else has noticed this too: some dragons seem to stash food in their beards to finish later on. My first dragon used to do it when she had green beans - I'd see her sitting in her basking spot, with her mouth open and...

I had been worried about my big dragon, Tsam, for the last few days: he's been sleeping a lot lately, being grey faced and generally quite grumpy - until I facepalmed on realising what the problem was. Tsam hasn't been sitting in his bath or eating his greens like he usually does - he'd been...

Before: A violent scrap of bones and teeth. He had a vile attitude, a nasty bite, and a quick temper. After: These days, he's plump, confident, calm and a real sweetie. I'm so proud of Jacques.

Mocha's been with us for about five years. She's always made little "pop" noises, and the vet's not been concerned - it's normal for her. She's also a terrible one for infertile gravid-ity (it's a word now) - usually four clutches a year, between 18 and 22 a time, despite her being a petite...

First of all, I'd like to introduce my helper, Robert. He's our newcomer, and is turning out to be a real asset to the team. Now, we were asked how to make a simple leather harness. First of all, you'll need some stuff: Essential: A lizard A swatch of strong leather or suede A pair of sharp...

Objectophilia - the love of objects; specifically in this case, lust towards. I've always known Hyphen, with his poor eyesight and his... "developmentally challenged"-ness is pretty odd, and has a "thing" for several objects. He's not particularly picky - he's had affairs with hearth-places...

We've had one of the vivs empty for about five months now, since Jam passed away - and today, a new rescue occupant arrived to occupy the available "room to rent" on the ground floor of the dragon towers. He's about a year old, a good weight and size, and he's my first "stumpie" - he's got at...

I admit - I've not had this problem before. As most of the regulars know, I've got several rescue dragons, most of whom have turned up in horrible condition, and Frank's no exception. I'm told he's four years old, but he was the size of a yearling when he arrived. Poor little guy had woodchips...

So, there's this adorable meme of Chris Pratt going round at the moment. I took one look, looked at Rich, and he went "Let's do this!" Four of five slightly sleepy but willing dragons later - et voila.

I'm sorry to have to say it, but we lost Jam last Saturday. I don't know what happened. She'd had a lovely time that day - woke up in a patch of sun on the balcony, had a breakfast of locusts, a quick poop, and then a jaunt out in the sunshine to town. We met lots of nice people, had lots of...

[Administrator Comment: Being a fan of both bearded dragons and Kickstarter projects, I decided to allow this project promotion. I know... it's rare that I allow self promotion, but Kickstarter projects are something I like to support. For those not aware, Kickstarter is a site where people...

I've started up a Kickstarter "beardie-bodycam" project, and I wanted to ask if it would be okay to write a post about it; what I'm doing, why, etc. It's pretty straight-forwards, as you can probably guess from the description! I respect if not - that's why I haven't linked it here, as I...

It seems some members of bd.org have very long memories! I got a message a couple of months ago asking whether I'd be making another batch of dragon soap... My original ingredient supplier emigrated, which was kind of inconvenient! (I tease, and thank SoapyOlive for her help most sincerely.)...

In another thread, I'm documenting Jam's surgery in depth - however, I have a question that I don't want getting buried in the rest of it! :) She has a large run of stitches down her belly as a result, done on the 20th. I noticed today that her belly scales have started going creamy coloured -...

Hyphen has been known for some of his finest "sexy leg" poses - but this one blows all his previous efforts clean out of the water. Introducing, his signature move: Points are available for "model" Zoolander style "pose name" suggestions! :lol:

Posting for those looking for info on egg binding! NOTE: If you suspect your female is egg bound - DON'T wait. Get her to the vet. An xray might be expensive, but a dead beardie is worse :S My big female, Jam, is terrible at laying eggs. I don't breed with her (or any of them, actually) but...

So, in August, this vicious little scrap of bones, teeth and attitude turned up in an old Xbox box. I was told he is about two years old, and was called "Fred". I could tell he was about half his ideal weight, badly starved and had serious personality problems. I promptly found out he was...
