    Good Enclosure Decorations/Items for Climbing & Exercise?

    I have a 4 foot long by 3 foot high enclosure for an adult Beardie approximately 27" long and am looking for good ideas on what kind of items I can put in it. I'd love to make her walkways and ramps for her to climb on, but am not good with making things by hand. Are there any good companies...

    Beardie Hiccup?

    Thanks for the reply, I just noticed it. Happily, about an hour or 2 (time dragged so slowly I'm not sure exactly) after I posted this it stopped happening. I left him on my lap and kept watching him for another 2 hrs or so and again for another hour this morning and it seems to have passed as...

    Beardie Hiccup?

    Tonight my Beardie George started what sounds like hiccups, about 5 hrs after eating and 2 hrs after lights out. He was doing it once every few minutes but lately its happening less and less. There're no bubbles or liquid coming out, or any clicking sounds which I read is sign of respiratory...

    Introducing my new baby Glaurung

    Everyday when I open my front door coming home from work I see (and hear) a flash of orange as he runs inside his cave. Then he won't come out until feeding time and goes back inside until a while after I go away. I'm sure he's just getting used to his new home, and this new giant towering...

    Introducing my new baby Glaurung

    Thanks all, I agree he's beautiful, of course I'm biased :lol: Yeap I felt so bad having to keep him cooped up on Tuesday, especially since he was scratching to get out for at least 30 minutes before settling down to sleep :( He's still a little skittish but that's to be expected. He...

    Introducing my new baby Glaurung

    First off, where did I get his name you may ask? Glaurung is taken from J.R.R Tolkien's Middle Earth, where he was the first of all dragons (aka the father of dragons), and one of the foremost lieutenants of Morgoth during the First Age. Tolkien described him as a very powerful dragon who...

    One Eye Puffed Shut, wet looking, HELP

    Yeap I was thinking of getting an autopsy (I forget what it's called for animals) but I'm sure that's really expensive and I'd hate to see her body cut up anyway. She was layed to rest in the sunniest corner of my parent's beautiful back yard on Saturday. Thanks for all the help/comments to...

    One Eye Puffed Shut, wet looking, HELP

    Now I'm worried again, I think she died last night!!! :cry: She was slowly dragging herself around yesterday late night. It looked promising when I got home at 4pm since her eye was about half as puffy as it had been and she was laying and doing her usual "pushups" under her basking lamp...

    One Eye Puffed Shut, wet looking, HELP

    John @ ReptileUV thinks the bulb is responsible and has already shipped (or will today) a replacement for free. Hopefully my sweet Moko will be back to normal within a few days to a week 8)

    One Eye Puffed Shut, wet looking, HELP

    I noticed her with 1 or both eyes closed at times but thought it was just normal during basking? I hope I didn't effect her permanent eye damage because of it :( Thanks for the info on the Megaray I will contact them and see if they think that is the cause. Meanwhile i have turned off the...

    One Eye Puffed Shut, wet looking, HELP

    Got home and her eye was even more puffy! But worse that that I think she threw up her food. There was a normal shaped, green poo as always happens after eating alot of greens. But about her body length away from that was a pile of whole superworm pieces covered in clear liquid as well as some...

    One Eye Puffed Shut, wet looking, HELP

    Thanks for the quick response :) I've had the Mega since late October 2009 and haven't seen her closing her eyes any more than usual, which isn't often. Would eye drops help get whatever might be in there out and if so what kind should it be? Thanks again!

    One Eye Puffed Shut, wet looking, HELP

    When I woke this morning and checked on my beardie Moko, an approx. 12" female, one of her eyes was puffed almost completely shut and the eye that could be seen looked wet. I keep her on nonadhesive shelf liner and have had her since last July, purchased from a breeder), under a Mega-Ray 100...

    Gaping a sign of overheating?

    Ahhh I got it now thanks for the replies! Whew I feel better then since I do have the MVB approx 12" away from her (directly over the half-log at her favorite basking spot on it). I was worried when seeing people saying their beardies were within 6-8" of the light and not being too hot. Then...

    Gaping a sign of overheating?

    Hi all, I have an approx 11" nose to tail beardie who has recently started gaping when the thermometer is showing 102° is this normal? I have read on the forums here that this is normal but the book "your happy healthy pet: bearded dragon 2nd edition" by Steve Grenard says when they gape it's...
