Do any of you have bamboo root jungle gyms in your beardies enclosures? I had fake rock structures made for Ember, but I dropped one and it broke up pretty badly so I need to redo it. I saw the bamboo root jungle gym on the LLLReptile site so I ordered 3 so I'd have a few to choose from. The...

I’m wondering who’s ever had to treat a juvie for pinworms and how your experience was. I just had a fecal done for my girl, I’m guessing she’s about 4 months old, because she was lethargic and not interested in food. I got the results today and she tested positive for pinworms. Unfortunately...

I'm guessing Ember is about 4 months old. She's been shedding over the past week. On 4/10 she finally shed her head completely and then I noticed her upper left leg was starting to turn dull. Today it's finally starting to peel off, but she still has some left to go. I think tomorrow she'll be...

Ok guys, I'm dealing with my first Ember crisis. I went to work and she was fine. This afternoon when I went home on my lunch hour she was breathing rather heavily and slightly puffing out her beard. I picked her up and saw her face around her mouth was shedding and it looks like both nostrils...

About a month ago I went to check out a clutch of babies at my local reptile store. I wasn't ready, but wanted to look. They were gorgeous! Fast forward to today, I called them and was told they only had one left. Was it a sign? Was this the one meant to be mine? I decided to go after work to...

I just looked at an ad for a male leatherback baby. He's a translucent leatherback and it's listing his dad as a hypo trans normal and his mom is 100% het hypo/trans leather. They both carry the trans gene so does this mean this is a bad pairing? I'm not thinking of purchasing this baby. I'm not...

I’ve been trying to figure out when I should buy my starter of dubia roaches. I’m hoping to find my next beardie in March. If I wait too long I won’t have enough smaller dubia to feed. If I order now there will be a week where I won’t be around to feed and replace the water crystals as I’m going...

I’ve been reading up on breeding a little bit here and there because I think it could potentially be something I might want to pursue years down the road when I have the time, room, and money to do it. In all honesty, I don’t think I ever will be ready. I feel I still have a lot to learn about...

Who here has a UVB / solar meter and which one do you have? I'm thinking I might pick one up and was wondering which ones are the best.

I've been debating on whether or not to order some crickets when I get my new beardie. I prefer to raise/feed dubia, but crickets are cheaper as a go to feeder and it would also add a bit of variety. I just went to Ghann's site and got some prices. I went to Mulberry Farms to get their prices...

I've been researching breeders in search of my next baby and have seen a few breeders that offer shipping in unsafe (to me) conditions at the buyers risk. By unsafe, I'm referring to shipping during the busy holiday season when delays are a real possibility and/or when temps are too high or too...

As most of you probably know by now I recently lost Dewey and will be getting a new baby sometime in March or April. In the meantime I’m giving the viv a complete makeover and will be replacing just about everything so the new baby will have all brand new things. The first step was to strip and...

If I feel up to it over the weekend I'm going to strip the paint out of Dewey's viv. I'll be getting a new beardie early next year and while I'm waiting I'm planning on revamping the viv. First I'm going to give it a new interior paint job. Then I'll be making some new fake rock structures. My...

So I completely forgot that I had posted some videos on Youtube of Dewey when he was younger. Last night the video of his bath time popped in my head so I did some digging and found my old account. So, if you're interested in seeing. Here are some old videos of my Dewey. :)...

I miss my Dewey. Today is only the 5th day since his passing and I'm missing him so much. The first couple of days were hard, the next couple of days were better, but today has been very difficult. I keep thinking about his silly antics and it's just making me miss him so much. I miss seeing him...

I'm looking to get another beardie early next year and had a question regarding bath time. I see a lot of you use your own sinks or bathtubs to bathe your beardies. How do you go about cleaning it after they're done bathing? Also, what about soap, shampoo residue from your own use? That doesn't...

Today I made decision that all of us pet owners fear and worry about. I decided to let Dewey go on to the Rainbow Bridge after a two week battle with some kind of major health issue. On Thanksgiving morning he woke me up having a seizure like episode and from then on he was never the same. We...

In my thread in the ER forum I’ve discussed recent happenings with my beardie Dewey. Long story short, on Thanksgiving morning (this past Thursday) he started having seizure like episodes, a little bit of twitching, tilting his head and shimmying backwards, and lack of appetite. His lack of...

Dewey gave me a very big scare Thursday morning (which was our Thanksgiving). I woke up to the sound of him scratching at the wall of his viv. I jumped up thinking he had fallen off of his rock and was trying to get back up. Well, he was laying on the floor and his legs were flailing all around...

First of all, I'm very happy to say that my sweet Dewey's still hanging in there! Some of you may remember last Sept I thought I was going to lose him. He was very congested and his vet suspects he has a heart problem. With the help of a couple of different types of antibiotics and a nebulizer...
