This isn't urgent, as Shenron sadly passed away at the beginning of this week three months short of his twelfth birthday. After pressing my father for more details surrounding the cause of his death, I got some more information that perhaps my father decided I wasn't ready to handle when he...

Shenron died yesterday evening around 7 or 8. He was eleven years old (would have been twelve in October). I just learned about thirty minutes ago. I...knew it was coming. He was limp when I held him on Saturday, he hadn't been eating or drinking, and had been sleeping almost non-stop. Dad...

So I went home for fall break and celebrated Shenron's 9th birthday with him (though I can't say he was too keen on celebrating with me because he's bedding down for brumation, so he just got a nice bath while I changed the sand in his cage)! It is hard to believe that I have had him for that...

Shenron usually runs all over the place and goes to the bathroom when I take him outside. However, today, it was particularly overcast in the afternoon and rain is expected, so he did neither. Can beardies get lethargic just like humans due to changes in the air pressure, humidity, etc (like...

I thought many of you would like to know about my upcoming project. As a hobby, I create and sell zines, an independent magazine publication. My newest project is working on a zine for bearded dragon owners and lovers. However, I cannot finish the project without your help! Since there is...

When Shenron defecates, recently, the urate is really runny while the actual feces is well-formed and log-shaped (like it should be). I'm trying to bump up his calicum intake gradually by adding the supplement to his greens. Is this something I should be worried about or is it something in his...

I take my beardie outside in the sun for 20-30 minutes a day when the weather is nice, however, whenever I lean do to brush a bug off or it is time to go back inside, he flares his beard at me and opens his mouth, threatening me. Shenron is one of the most docile lizards I've seen and if it was...

All you knitters and crocheters will love this story. I took Shenron out for his daily roam in the living room yesterday afternoon. Now, my mother loves to knit, especially in front of the TV, and since she is currently working on two afgans, there was a giant skein of baby yarn on the floor...

I was giving Shenron his bath, and when he defecated, I noticed he had slight tinges of pink in his urates. Yesterday, Mom gave him some clementines as a treat (too acidic for him, I think, but he ate them before I can get them out) and when I came back home, he had some diarreah in his cage...

Shenron is still continuing his shed, but throughout the shed (except when I bathe him), he shows stress marks. Normally, these are very faint except when he's shedding. I think Shenron stresses when he's going through a shed. Is this typical with most beardies?

Back in June, my whole family went to LA for my twin cousins' b'nai mitzvah. The cat, of course, I could leave alone, but I was worried Shenron would poop in his cage and I wouldn't be there to clean it out. When I came back, this wasn't the case. He had eaten all the food, but seemed...well...

So Shenron finally started peeling (hooray!). However, a few days ago, I noticed some discoloration on the new skin, a color lighter than the skin color normally is (he is a red brown and the discoloration is a yellow color). Is this normal, like how we have freckles and easily comes off in...

At first, I thought Shenron was twitching his hind legs and thought "Oh no, his MBD came back REALLY badly", but fortunately, this wasn't the case. This only happens in the bath. It looks like he's scratching his head with his hind leg, almost like a dog would. Granted, he could be doing this...

I am proud to say Shenron is doing awesome, except for one tiny detail. The poor guy looks like he has doughnut powder rubbed all over him. Now, this means he's about to go into a nice shed, except that it's been two weeks and he's only shed small bits and pieces. Shenron doesn't seem any...

As I posted before, I got Shenron a new basking bulb (Zoomed 150 watt spot light). However, since then (and since we put him on the calcium), he's been acting super lethargic. I take him out in the afternoon so he can get some sun, but he won't actively bask unless I put him in the basking...

Recently, Shenron's light (an All Living Creatures bulb) came apart. Not wanting it to be a fire hazard, my dad took it out and replaced it with a red light. This was an extremely temporary solution, I knew, so I went to the pet store and got him a ZooMed 150 watt spot basking light. However...

The first question is a general one: Should urates always be visible in a beardie's feces? Shenron is going on his normal bathroom schedule just fine (about every 2-3 days), but I haven't seen a urate in his feces since a few years ago. Is it just getting buried in the rest of the feces or is...

This is going to sound like such a newbie question, but just how old can a captive bearded dragon live on average? I have read 5-7, 5-10, 10-12, etc. Which is the correct answer? I don't trust to ask anywhere but here. Shenron is about 7-8, so he's getting on up there. *feels totally...

I really hate to put a post up like this, but... In Chester, VA, there is a place called "Pet World", where my family normally buys crickets (however, I am asking my parents to boycott them and buy from Petco, instead) for Shenron. When I went there last week looking for gut load, I noticed...

Shenron's been doing this since he was a baby, so I don't think it's a case of mouth rot. Shenron, whenever he rests or sleeps, has his mouth slightly open. It's not open much at all, just a really small amount. Does this mean my beardie perfers to breathe through his mouth when he rests...
