My dragon ate a centipede! I didn't feed it to him, it just fell in his tank and he ate it before I could stop him. I'm not sure the species, I live in NJ, it's small and they are all over this year. Is this dangerous????

Does anyone else's dragon love to climb up their hair and sit on top of their head? Just curious. :lol:

Vladimir was having a heavy shed after the stress of the power being out after Sandy. It seems like it has been harder than normal for him to get it all off. There was a piece left hanging on his beard, and I know I shouldn't have, but it had been like a week, and I started thinking it would cut...

I live in NJ and we lost power for 9 days in hurricane Sandy. I tried to keep my Dragon warm as best I could, I kept him with me all day long every day, until I found a pet store with power willing to take him, but he did get pretty cold at night. He seems like he came through it fine, but now...

I'm about to be hit by Hurricane Sandy Sunday into Monday... I'm afraid we may lose power. I have some hand warmers but it won't keep temps as high as normal. know that that herps are better off on an empty stomach if the temps drop, but should I still feed my Dragon (and my RES, Box Turtle...

I've always noticed that my dragon get a little hyper when he gets live food, especially worms. It seems like "the hunt" excites him and then he runs around looking for more worms. He also has a habit of going over to the one side of his tank where he can look down into my box turtle's enclosure...

I'm curious, when and why do your bearded dragons "black beard"? My 2 1/2 year old male is not an aggressive dragon in the least, but he occasionally has a black beard for no apparent reason. He doesn't act sick, he doesn't puff up, sometimes he acts somewhat agitated (glass dancing) but not...

I was giving Vladimir his "juice", Pet Authority's Acidophiluz+. I started him on it way back when he had to be on antibiotics when he had a case of parasites and I give it to him now just as a supplement and he loves it. Anyway, he loves it a little too much, he just bit off the edge of the...

My husband was carrying Vlad, my 2 1/2 year old Beardie and I was walking behind. Vlad started trying to climb up his shoulder and he was having a hard time controlling him so I took him and he calmed down, but then I noticed one of his back toes was in a weird position sticking up. When I...

I've been using shelf liners as the "substrate" in my bearded dragons tank, I'm pretty happy with the functionality of it, but I'm not crazy about it aesthetically. I was thinking of either using AstroTurf as a kind of washable carpet, or getting self adhesive vinyl tiles and doing the bottom of...

My Beardie loves to sit on pillows and cuddle in blankets. Right now I only let him have soft items when he is supervised. Would it be OK for him to have soft items in his tank all the time like a pillow or stuffed animal or ferret bed or something like that? Or would it pose a safety threat...

Here it is, Vlad's BORING home. It's a glass 40 breeder. The floor is shelf liner. He actually does fit in the larger of the two caves (barely) he does have a bowl, I had it out to clean it when I took this pic. I've been trying to think of some ways to make it nicer for him, but I also don't...

Vladimir is a 1 1/2 year old male Translucent morph. A while ago I noticed a few black speckles on his body that I did not remember always being there. I was not overly concerned because they were small, they weren't raised, they didn't seem soft, they didn't smell... so I decided to just wait...

I was wondering, what, if any, diseases can Bearded Dragons catch from human beings? I have a cold, should I not be handling my dragon? THANK YOU.

I have a 1 1/2 year old male bearded dragon. He's got a great temperament and is well socialized with people. He is my first and only dragon. A friend of mine has a female dragon he "doesn't have time for" and asked me if I want her. She's female, I'm not sure how old, but from the pic I saw is...

Vladimir Putinontheritz is about 1 year and 3 months old. He is 17 inches long. he lives in a 40 breeder. His UVB/heat is a MVB, and his spot gets to around 110F. A little while ago, as his growth slowed down his appetite really seemed to drop off quite a bit. At first I wasn't too concerned as...

Poor Vladie. I put his hammock up again last night. He didn't have it for a while. He had pooped IN the hammock so I had taken it out for cleaning but forgot to put it back. I put him in the hammock and just a few minute later I looked at his tank and he was on the bottom of the tank with the...

I wrote yesterday about my dragon's beard going darker than I have seen it before, and was told it was probably hormones (he's 9-10 months old) but his beard is black again today and when I turned on his light he had pooped where he was sitting (he always moves away from it once he poops) and an...

Vlad's beard turned really black today. I've seen it darken and get lighter but this is definitely the darkest I've seen it. He doesn't seem angry at all, and he's been eating fine. I had him out earlier visiting with some house guests in a room that is a bit cooler than his tank, but he seemed...

Vladie tries to eat anything green. I forgot & painted my fingernails a light sparkly shade of green and now attacks (He's not biting me so much as WHIPPING my finger with his tongue!) my fingertips when ever he can see them! LOL. Just thought I share :D
