    Beardie fall, can't tell if she's okay

    Hey all, Bean fell off of her log today(the tall one near the light). It's maybe an 8 inch drop from the log to the floor of the cage(which is lined in paper towel). Luckily I was in the room with her, and for a minute or so she was puffed up, black beard, running around the cage. At first I...

    Bean's follicle surgery/spaying story

    Hi all, This past summer was an incredibly tough one for Bean, and I wanted to share her story to hopefully get some information out there to beardie owners in similar situations, or who may suspect that their beardie is having trouble developing and laying eggs. In June I noticed that her...

    Sick/possible nausea

    Hi all, Bean isn't feeling too well tonight :( She's been gagging/twitching her head and arching her neck forward every 15-20 minutes as though she's going to vomit. She's asleep right now, but has her head up as though she's basking(eyes closed though). I tried to bundle her in a blankie to...

    Hurricane rescues

    Hi all, I'm in Lower Manhattan and just regained power to my apartment. If you or anyone you know in the area is out of power and worried about your dragon, I am more than willing to provide a temporary home until your electricity is back. I know how bad the power outages are and want to make...

    Worrisome "marbles" in belly

    Hi all! I haven't posted here in quite awhile (school has taken over my life) but I wanted to share an issue that I'm having with Bean, and see if anyone has any insight into what my be the problem. He was eating well up until the past week, when his appetite stopped completely. He's not...

    Getting temps up when its cold out

    Hello! I've been so busy of late, I wish I could be posting more! :( Anyway - It's been getting colder up here in the Northeast, and I've noticed that the temps in Bean's tank are decreasing slightly as well. He's set up now with a Reptisun and a 100 watt household bulb during the day, and a...

    UV hood not working?

    I came home the other day to find Bean's Reptisun turned off, so I assumed that the bulb had died and rush ordered another. Now that this one won't work, I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the fixture that it's in. It's just the basic black ZooMed fixture that fits an 18" bulb...

    Vomiting water

    I just gave Bean his bath and he drank quite a bit, when I picked him up, he climbed on my shoulder and threw up several times. Now he's basking, black beard, and breathing very slowly and deeply. I make him a large salad before I leave for work, and then after his bath I usually give him his...

    Older dragon

    Hey all! Just returned home to CA to visit my family, as well as my two reptilian kids, Pebbles and Rockie. Pebbles looks great, but Rockie's health doesn't seem to be doing well. We just had his 10th birthday, so he's definitely an older guy. He's VERY skinny, has trouble moving his back legs...

    Bean: New Photos!

    It has been TOO long (case in point: Bean's old thread is locked, but here is a link viewtopic.php?f=49&t=117495 :lol: ) We've moved to a new apartment, and everything that goes along with it is so time consuming. Bean is so big now, and such a happy boy(sunning in the window as I type this)...

    Substrates to minimize odor?

    Bean is a wonderful boy, but his poo's are something to be reckoned with. He recently had a vet check-up and is parasite free, but I've got him on paper towel right now, and the smell tacked on to the fact that I live with two other people is becoming a bit of an issue. Is there any safe...

    A few days without UV?

    Bean's light burned out on Saturday, so I expedited a new Reptisun 10.0 from petmountain, and it should be here tomorrow or tuesday. Since I've been working all weekend, I've had it set up so I have his regular light on all day (its about 80 degrees) and then I crank up his heat lamp before...

    Constipation...? :/

    I've been having my roommate feed Bean during the day of late as I've been working and he can't go without food for a full day. I took a look at the worms he's been eating and theyre far too big, something I should have checked on before leaving a note for my roommate. His behavior hasn't...

    Stephen Colbert on bearded dragons!

    I was lucky enough to be sitting front row center at Stephen colbert tonight, and before the show he did a q&a out of character. I shot my hand up and he picked me and my question was "if you had a bearded dragon, what would you name it?" and he stopped and said "male or female?" and I said...

    Bean, Bean, Bean: New Photos!

    I've had little Bean for about 4 days now, and he is quite the handful. You can find a little back story on him here: viewtopic.php?f=44&t=117392 Here are some new pictures of the loveable nuisance from today. He eats (and poops) like no other. Its unbelieeevable! Hes only a couple of months...

    Introducing Bean!

    Hello everyone! I've been in a bit of a rut lately as my baby rescue of 5 days passed away last week. I really, really wanted a bearded dragon here in my new apartment (I have two back home with family) so I made the decision to order another one right away. It was more impulsive than anything...

    Baby is worrying me...URGENT!

    I got Basil about a week ago, and he hasn't been eating much which I thought was due to relocation stress. His tank is set up properly as well. His eyes are extremely sunken in, which I thought was due to dehydration, so I've got him soaking 2x a day. I've been giving him calcium and...

When I first held him/her, he was shaky and cold, but after a bit of babyfood, a bath, and a microwaved washcloth, he/she wont stop moving! I...
