Yesterday we adopted/rescued a female BP, the same age as our male: four years. However, little Squeak is about the size of a four MONTH old (similar to the size of our Drake when we got him). Squeak's spine is prominent, but not overly so, and she appears to have a small "bump" just beneath her...

What do you do? The kid down the street, whom we know hasn't been taking proper care of his dragon for five years running, stops by and asks if we/my son would like to adopt her... ...for years, we've wanted to get our hands on this poor girl who, thanks to our badgering years ago, has at...

Hey all, It's been ages since I've been on the boards and I'm in need of some input. Five-year-old Cloudy, who is graying everwhere in preperating for a shed, somehow scaped his chin and peeled off a bit of shed off before it's time. I believe he's managed to knock off a scale given the touch...

Hello all, Been awhile since I've been on this board! We adopted a beardie today from some people we know, and were surprised to find when we went to pick him up that he is a bit of a rescue. Was hoping to get some advice as to how to care for our new dear boy. Spike is roughly about 4 years...

So it's been awhile since I've spent regular time on the boards... been trying to get myself back up to date! :) It seems many of the MVBs have been called into question over the last year, year and a half... :dontknow: The short story: when we switched from tube lighting, I originally went...

Hey all, Haven't posted here in a long while, but have been lurking regularly to stay up to date. And today, would love some feedback from those who might have some time... Some people we know are looking to re-home their beardie. They know that we have a beardie that we absolutely adore...

Hey all, New to the Snake forum. Until a few weeks ago, it's been "all beardie" for our family. But thanks to the local annual reptile expo (where we were to buy NOTHING! :wink: ), we just couldn't resist this little bugger... The is Drake: He's so pretty, and soft! Very sweet and mellow...

Find the REAL animals! (That's our cat, Hawkeye on the lower left. Wherever Cloudy is, Hawkeye is sure to follow.) Cloudy loves his teddy. :love5: Best to let sleeping beardies lie... or sleep straight up and down, if that's what they prefer! LOL Thanks for playing along...

What does this beardie need you to know? That his owners should have perhaps checked under "her" tail sometime in the last few months because things have certainly changed under there... Our girl is no girl (and I'll spare you the pictorial details). But here's a recent head shot of our boy...

Hey All, Well, Cloudy has moved into her new pad (a 75g), and she is enjoying all the extra space! However, I'm now [of course] struggling to get a good gradient, temps are running low across the board, and in general, taking a long time to heat up in the am. The old 100w T-Rex just isn't doing...

Hey all, Well, it was bound to happen sometime. Received a batch up crx today (500 order) and most died on route. If I have 100 alive, I'd be surprised. I called Flukers and they are sending out a replacement shipment tomorrow. It was the agent's theory that they became overheated. It's mild...

Hey all, Just received our first batch of phoenix worms, and Cloudy really likes them. (Crickets are, for the time being, "of the past" as far as he's concerned... and fine by me!) :mrgreen: A question though, do I need to be cleaning the bedding off the worms? Now, when they warm up and...

Hey all, We just received our first batch of PWs. The bd appears to enjoy them very much. :mrgreen: At any rate, a perhaps silly, and not totally necessary question, but I'm really curious... why is it that the care of PWs is so EASY? For example, why do I NOT have to feed them, and how do...

And Cloudy is shedding!!!!!!! :blob8: :blob8: :blob5: :blob5: We couldn't be happier! Since we ditched the Zilla compact, and replaced it with the ReptiSun, things have steadily gotten better. Cloudy is eating more, sleeping less, is more alert, and in general, seemingly much more...

Hi all, I'm trying to decide whether or not to cut the screen top to "unveil" the UVB tube. Right now, we're in a starter tank, 15 gallon, longish (2 feet), but quite "squat" (only 10 inches high I believe). In his/her favorite basking spots, Cloudy can get to within 8 or 6 inches of the...

Anyone else had this problem? We recently upgraded our Zilla compact (EEK!) to a ReptiSun, and our beardie, Cloudy, has been doing very well. He's more upbeat, sleeping less and eating more. He sits under that new bulb as if willing himself to grow! Things are definitely looking up. He's really...

Thanks to this informative (and friendly) forum, we've been learning SO much. Our baby, "Cloudy" has not been thriving as of late. He (or perhaps SHE :wink: ) has been increasingly sluggish, getting off to bed early, and the appetite has been waning. He is approximately 4 months old and only...

Hey All, Thanks to this wonderful forum, I've learned that the UVB we've been using is NOT good (it's a compact/yikes!). I ordered a perfect-a-strip, and a ReptiSun, BUT, I can't seem to pop out the bulb that came with the fixture. :? My ReptiSun should be arriving later today and I can't...

Hey all, New poster here. Our son has a beautiful little beardie baby in a 15-gallon tank. We're looking to trade up. Our local pet stores don't have any tanks larger than 40 gallons, which we've read is the minimum for a beardie. We're inclined to go higher. Where's the best place online to...
