It took about 6 weeks to get my James to eat on his own. It was sad and frustrating. I wondered if he would ever recover. He did finally, and he is doing terrific. You can see his story here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=102706 Barb

I googled and viewed images of the Agamas and while they are very blue, they don't look like the one I saw today. I have no need for another lizard, this little one just intrigued me with his/her beautiful blue beard. :) I really don't like going into this pet shop but I may have to just to...

I had to stop in my local pet shop today. I took a look around and he had a 'false' bearded dragon. He was beautiful and looked like a baby beardie with a true blue beard. I asked the owner about him but he wouldn't tell me much. About the only thing he told me was that they don't get as big...

One of my guys isn't great about eating his salads. I found the trick though. :) If I dribble some baby food squash on it, he gobbles it right up. He loves his squash. :) Barb

It was near 100 degrees for over a week here. I live in an older home and the a/c only cools enough to make it more comfortable and to remove the humidity. I bought thermostats for the enclosures. They come with a long probe like the thermometers. I have mine set to shut off the basking light...

There are some posts on here, maybe in Behavior, that show amazing results with aggressive beardies. Possibly search for the word aggressive? Barb

She seems to look ok, but I am absolutely no expert at all. She seems very alert, not too thin, and her color looks good. Just by the pictures I would not be concerned about any major health issues. But again, I am no expert. :) Barb

Well I'm a sucker for a mistreated animal...... viewtopic.php?f=3&t=100762&hilit= viewtopic.php?f=3&t=102706&hilit= This 'breeder' sure doesn't seem reputable or too responsible if she does not have the proper set up or lights for her and allowed her to get beat up by the others.... This...

Well there is little that James won't eat now. :) Here's an updated picture. Thanks to all who make this site possible. He wouldn't have survived without all your help. Barb

Thank you Pigging out is what he's doing! lol The first thing he does when lights on is go to his dish of pellets. He doesn't even warm up before he starts chowing down. He'll eat as many worms as I put in there. I'm trying to get them mixed with the salad so he gets some of that too. I figure...

Well it's been 6 weeks now since I got James. This week he has decided it's time to live. :) He is eating everything in sight. It was touch and go for awhile. He would sort of eat if I syringed it. He would pick at live stuff, but never reliably. I got the phoenix worms a few weeks ago. He...

Thanks. :) I was just curious. I know often times the same product can have a huge price difference depending on how it's marketed. Barb

I live in Kansas and our temps fluctuate a LOT. For example, right now it's 44 degrees outside. Last week it was around 80. It sure makes it hard to keep the tank temps correct. I'm looking at thermostats online. There are a couple brands in the $25 range. (affordable since I need 2) Is there...

I was at Wal-mart getting a replacement bulb for my outdoor lights. I noticed they were selling Brinks Mercury Vapor bulbs for somewhere around $10. It had cautions on it about being dangerous and needing to read warnings. I found no specific warnings on the box and no insert inside it. I...

Frank has settled in nicely. He gained lots of weight and is getting a nice belly on him. He doesn't put up too much fuss when I pick him up anymore. He doesn't seem to like being held, but will tolerate me. :) He LOVES the squash baby food. Who would have thought?? lol Barb

Well yesterday I tried a different approach. I took his basking log out. Without that, he actually walked around and explored a bit. In his exploring, he munched a few pellets, maybe sampled a green, and ate a couple worms. It worked today too. His appetite isn't great, and he gives up pretty...

My update in neither good or bad really. He's still hanging in there. He's putting on a tiny bit of weight according to the scale. His poos are not regular. He did last Tuesday and Wednesday, and then not again until today. I am offering him super worms, crickets and wax worms. He might...

If he's just boarding there, it's certainly the owner's fault and not the pet store. Hopefully the pet store owner will talk to the owner about the poor guy's condition. If there's any way you could care for him, you might talk to the pet store owner. I would let him/her know that I was...

He had me really concerned yesterday. He looked very uncomfortable and had no interest in the crickets at all. Saturday he was very happy to eat a few. Sunday he ate one. Yesterday none. I opened his mouth and popped in a wax worm yesterday. I gave him 3 or 4 syringes of water along with more...

He pooped!!!!! I'll update more tonight. :) Barb
