Aww, what a cutie! :D

Oh my gosh, that is precious! :lol:

That's great to hear! Keep us updated if you can, I'd love to hear if the soaks work and if he heals up quickly! :D

Awww, that's adorable! You should post some pics of Mushu in her blankie! :mrgreen:

Hi there! It's great to see someone who is so eager to do their research before taking a dragon into their care! :mrgreen: And good on you for wanting better housing for your dragon, too. Those pet store kits aren't always a good way to go, as you know. A 40g tank would be fantastic. As for...

In my opinion, it would be best to arrange to have someone care for him while you're gone, if that's possible. :mrgreen:

That's great! Glad to hear he's perking up! Once you get the betadine, here's what you can do. When you give him a betadine soak, try to get only the hurt area in the solution, and again, just make sure he doesn't drink it. I would say roughly 10, 15 minutes in the soak then a good rinse...

No problem! :mrgreen: And I'll be watching out for the pic~

Daner923 said exactly as I was going to say; Definitely go with the diluted betadine rather than the hydrogen peroxide. As for the biting, my guess is it was because of a retained shed around his toe. Not exactly sure why he was doing it, but as long as you get it clean and wrapped up, it...

Hi there, It is perfectly normal for your dragon's pattern to be on their shed, no worries to be had there c: As for the questionable spot, it would be best to post a picture of it, if possible That way, it would be easier to tell what it is. Hope to hear back from you soon!

My baby girl Lotan was getting skinnier and skinnier, despite my constant efforts to keep her healthy. I've even given her some extra waxworms and baby food now and then to see if it would help fatten her up, but nothing worked. She kept losing weight so fast, until she finally became too weak...

Using hot water is your best bet if you are doing a full cleaning. I would not use any kind of household cleaner, especially those with bleach or any harsh chemical. Dawn dish soap should be alright if you rinse, rinse, rinse. If you are doing small, routine cleanings inside the tank, I...

Hi there! Sorry to hear about Spyro. :( What have you been feeding him lately? How often have you been bathing him? And if you have a thermometer, what are the temps on his basking spot? Thanks! -Rukii

UV lighting is essential to the overall health of beardies. Reptisun 10.0 tube lights are what I, and seemingly the general consensus of users on here use for their beardies. Whatever you do, don't let him get the compacts, those are just bad news :| I would also recommend a heat/basking...

If you could give us some more information, that would be great. Please give us an overview of your enclosure. What type of substrate/flooring do you have your beardie on? Does it have a basking spot? What type of basking bulb do you use, and what are the temps on the basking spot? What type of...

I agree with everything Luthien said about the warm baths and change of substrate if your beardie is on sand. I could also recommend giving him some plain canned pureed pumpkin or plain baby food mixed with a few drops of olive oil, that should help loosen things up. As for feeding, I would...

Wow, it has been ages since I have been on these forums! I was cleaning out my babies' vivs when I remembered this site and figured I should probably give a little update and become an active member once again. Oh, how I've missed you all! So for the update, all four of my babies are doing...

Well, it turns out that she did have leftover shed skin in her nostrils! I'm hoping that solves it :)

Hmm, I have noticed that her nostrils do look a little bit plugged. And I have her on tile, so its not a substrate issue :P I'm going to go check that option now. Thanks so much!!

My female Lotan has been venting a LOT. Nearly every time I see her, her mouth is slightly open. Her temps are about the same as usual, fed as usual, bathed as usual. Could this be a respiratory issue? What would cause her to do this all of a sudden? She's been doing it for about 3 days now. I...
