My 10 year old beardie had a rough night last night. After her lights went out and she curled up to sleep, she started gaping and opening her mouth a lot, and sit very upright with her nose pointed upwards. She was very sleepy, but anytime she tried to lay back down flat to sleep, she would have...

My beardie is a healthy active little guy (~2 yrs old) However, I've noticed whenever I give him baths he often has a little bit of blood in his stool the next few days, then it goes back to normal. I gave him a bath two days ago, he pooped with a little blood that day, yesterday, and today I...

I was reading up on health issues with Beardies the other day and stumbled upon the topic of tail rot and how it can occur due to trauma. When I bought Rikku I didn't know at the time but his tail had some nips in it which became apparent as he aged (He must have been roughed up as a hatchling...

I've been struggling to find a basking temp that Kuja likes. If it reads around 105 she's always gaping while underneath it. If it reads 100 she still gapes underneath it. She won't gape anywhere else in the cage except for a few minutes when she first gets under the basking light. Is this a...

Hello! I recently bought some ceramic tile for the floor of my beardie's viv. I'm just curious about needing to seal it / grouting the tiles together as I've noticed her toes were getting caught in the cracks occasionally. So firstly, for any experts out there (or anyone who knows more about...

I recently moved my 8 month old beardie to a new enclosure. It's a 40 gal setup with a 36" reptisun 10.0 UVB and a heat lamp. I tested temperatures and the basking gets to 100 F, and the ambient side is mid 80s. Since I put her in the new cage, she only stays on the cool side and I rarely see...

I bought a new 40 gallon tank for my little guy and I'm wondering about the lighting options for it. I know I want to get a repti-sun 10.0 UVB bulb, and I've gotten a dome for the heat lamp. My only question is, I'm considering getting a combination light fixture that's 36" and has a socket for...

I've had my beardie for about 4 months now, and any time I put my hand in his cage he flares up and tries to bite me. Is he going to be like this forever or will he eventually become friendly? He's about 5 months old. . . pretty small for his age ( about 7 - 8 inches) and he's in a 40 gallon.

Please help! I just relocated my baby bearded dragon last night (had to switch apartments) and this morning he (not really sure on the sex) woke up with a black beard. He also threw up his mealworms from last night. (Yes, I know mealworms are bad, I prefer to feed him phoenix worms but I cant...

Alright, I bought a baby bearded dragon from Petco about a month ago and was told he was 4 weeks at the time. Kuja is only about 3.5 inches, and has not shed once in the month that I've had him. He also seems like a very picky eater. It seems as if he ate more crickets when I first got him and...

I have a question about vitamin and calcium dusting for the crickets. My beardie is still a baby, and I'm using the Repti-Sun 10.0 UVB bulb. I just bought Rep-Cal multivitamins and Calcium with D3. The containers say to mix the two in a 1:1 ratio and dust daily. However, I thought I read on here...

Hello all! I have been reading that a lot of you use the Acurite digital thermometer to read the temps in your enclosure and that they can be purchased at Wal-mart. I went to my local store and they didn't have it. I also went on the walmart website, and I can't seem to find an acurite digital...

The other day my beardie got out of her cage somehow and I think my cat attacked her. She has a cut on her head and on her backside right where her tail starts. She also has a bump on her backside right where her tail starts as well. I rushed her to the vet right away and he gave her some...
