    Courtship, or just hostility?

    Haven't been on in a while, and now I have a question! Besides the typical black-bearding and arm waving that beardies display when they are aroused, does the male usually bite down on the female's neck (in my case this afternoon, her cheek) in his attempt to mount her? Today Bentley scared me...

    Popeye needs to lose weight!

    Hey all, I just took in a rescue this afternoon named Popeye, and my herp expert says he's loaded with problems: calcium deficiencies, roundworms, not to mention the fact he's been kept in a 30 gallon tank in an elderly couple's garage all his life! They didn't know how old he was or what his...

    Bentley's grown up!

    Bought him when he was a tiny little guy in mid-December, now he's pushing 20 inches and his coloration is really coming along nicely. He impresses our family herp vet every month with his charms :wink: haha And now that I look at it, his forehead darkened slightly probably because I pulled...

    Potty training!

    I set Bentley on on my bathroom counter top and begin to fill his large tupperware bath bin with warm water in the sink. He instantly knows the sound of the running water, and climbs down the edge of the sink and in to his bath! After some submerging and swimming around like a spiky Michael...

    Help on friend's iguana?

    I've had a good friend for several years now, and back in December around the same time I bought my baby beardie she was given a baby green iguana for Christmas. I've spent countless hours researching and talking to people about the best way to raise my sandfire Bentley, and now he's a happy...

    Bedtime Routines

    What does everyone do for their dragons when its time to go to sleep? I take Bentley out and let him roam my room about an hour before I go to bed, and he'll usually find an article of clothing to dig in to and fall asleep in. When I'm ready to turn out the lights, I pick him up in his...

    Scrawny arms?

    Bentley weighed 235 grams at his vet appointment a week or so ago, and he's pushing 16 inches long. The doctor said he's a healthy, handsome, and noticeably cheerful dragon. But as a look more and more at everyone's pictures of their own beardies, I wonder if mine's arms and legs are scrawny...

    Spoiling your dragons?

    Does anyone else have a spoiled-rotten beardie out there? I swear, Bentley just watches his meals hop away now. I have to pinch a cricket or waxworm in my fingers and hold it in front of his face or he doesn't even bother. If I don't swish him around in the bathtub to his heart's content, he...

    Oh, Bentley

    Just took these yesterday... my little movie star! Here's Bentley with my dad, probably considering tasting his beard I love this one because I can almost here him saying, "Huh?" Bathtime! And he can't resist posing for the camera Out-of-focus, but he's still got that sly look on...

    Having a hookworm and coccidia issue

    Took young Bentley to the vet yesterday, she was thrilled at how chubby and alert and loving he was all through the visit. I gave her a small baggie containing a fecal sample and we left, then about 2 hours later I get a call at home from the clinic telling me he's tested positive for hookworm...

    I'm having a difficult time sexing my beardie.

    Anywhere I take him, public opinion is 50/50 on his gender. I've had herp vets, reptile experts and a breeder all give me their opinions on his sex, and they all seem to think different things even though he's over a year old and this stuff should probably be easy to determine? Ya see, he has...

    Goodmorning to all!

    I just recently joined so I felt like introducing myself, my name's Angie and I'm a senior in high school in California. Below is Bentley, my sandfire beardie (and also first!) who consumes 80% of my income and follows me around the house. I found this site and joined up immediately, I love...
