    Teddy-cake, Teddy-cake, ladies' man!

    Make like a plate as fast as you can! Yesterday I took Teddy out for the first time since he woke up. No matter where in the yard I set him, he'd make a bee-line for the gap under the gate. Normally, I would have opened the gate and let him go for it, but I didn't have the key... Instead, I...

    Juniper branches

    They're putting a house in the empty lot next door, and will be removing two monster 40 year old juniper bushes. If I can get them peeled and clean, can I give them to Teddy to climb on, or will they give off some kind of fumes? I know cedar wood smells, and pine; I don't know about juniper...

    Made my first blankie!

    It looks soo cool! I had the fleece for a while, but I've been too chicken to use the sewing machine until now. I was helping my sister cut squares for a quilt, and when I spotted the green "poofball" fabric I had to snag it. It matches the pea-soup fleece perfectly! I never did measure it, but...

    Taking beardie camping

    It's still a long way off, but I'd like to ask anyways. :wink: We are planning a week-long camping trip for the first week of June. Depending on the weather, I'd like to bring Teddy with me. It will be in an area that's known to be warm (Oakdale, CA, roughly). Would Teddy like it there...

    Enrichment for beardies

    I was watching a documentary on some captive bears, and thought about beardies when the zookeepers were hiding breakfast all over the bear habitat. I thought about one of the beardies here, I think it's Kazi, who deliberately flings his salad everywhere, then spends all morning finding every...

    Not beardie- bluebelly

    I work at a machine shop, and the owner came in with a little bluebelly hatchling, all covered in oil and little metal shavings. I know he's no beardie, but they are so darned similar, I wish I can help him! I got him as washed up as I can- he's only two inches long- and looked him over under...

    Fighting fungus ~New spot on elbows?~

    Tomorrow will be the last day of Teddy's injections for his URI. He is cured! Yesterday, however, I spotted a darkened yellowy patch on his side. It's about an inch long, half inch wide, and is proving near impossible to photograph. I will keep trying. I have seen treatment mentioned in...

    Treating an upper repiratory infection

    Last week I noticed Teddy was getting listless, and was starting to blow bubbles. Today we saw the vet, and he confirmed a URI. Dr. Nakamura gave me a series of Fortaz (did I spell that right?) injections, and showed us how to administer them. Then he gave us a surprise medicine- a bottle of...

    Tell me why....

    Tell me why I love my beardie so much, I'd be willing to out up with all the indignities I do to keep him happy and fed. The only thing I won't do is crickets. :mrgreen: Today I got my silkworm starter kit. This evening I learned what the silky chow smells like. :puke: I used Glade twice...

    Hissing cockroaches

    With my dubia starter I got some hissing roaches as a bonus. Once they get going, could I feed the excess nymphs to my beardie?

    O-M-Gosh, I just saw something C-U-T-E!

    And I didn't have a hand free to take a picture! (OR a camera :roll: ) I saw something scurrying in a parking lot, and spotted a tiny hatchling bluebelly (AKA fence lizard). He was barely an inch and a half long. His resemblance to a baby beardie was uncanny! When he decided to make a break...

    Looking for a one-stop-shop

    Is there such a place? :roll: I want to buy: silkworms and hornworms for the beardie, and fruit flies for the baby mantises. And food for the caterpillars, too. :blob5: :blob8: :blob5: :blob8: :blob5: :blob8: :blob5:

    55 long

    Oops. I heard about the sale at PetCo, and had Dory get the 55 while we could still afford a big tank. I had NO idea it was that skinny! Is it OK to use, being only 13 inches wide? If we have to, we'll try to return it, but I don't know if there are any 40 breeders left in stock, because of the...

    New BD slave....

    Hi! A neighbor kid down the street has a very large BD, and I have enjoyed handling her as often as I could get away with it. It was instant love. Every time we see some at the pet store I beg, but gosh! They are just soooo... expensive. We were at our local Petco getting fruit flies for the...
