Dear Bearded Dragon. Org community, You've read much about the adventures of Electra and Salsa--Electra's emergency surgery and Salsa's long-(and finally successful) fight against parasites. Finally, some good news to share--my partner and I got married on Sunday and the "girlz" were our...

One of our girls exhibits a very unusual and adorable behavior--when we put her close to our faces, she gently reaches out and slowly paws at us. It is very gentle and "seems deliberate" though she may just be reaching out to not fall. Our other girl doesn't do this . We're curious--do anyone...

Hello BD community, Please forgive the multiple posts today; I'm just worried sick about our baby girl post-prolaspse. So after the vet did the emergency putting -back of the colon, she suggested we consider spaying Electra. Electra is nearly 5 years old. She didn't lay at all the first two...

Dear BD community, We are very worried about our big girl Electra. She prolapsed today while pooping in her viv, thankfully she went to the vet right away, and the vet was able to get it back inside and put two small stitched on each side of her vent. She's been laying a lot of (infertile)...

Hi all, I've been playing around with iMovie to try and help my students learn video editing, so I figured I'd make a lizard video and I thought this group of folks would probably enjoy it. It's not, ahem, a prime example of the kind of the best video editing skills, but it is cute. I hope...

Any beardie owners (hardon mizookan) in Israel or the Palestinian Authority? I'm curious to know if folks there find our community here.

Hi all, It's been a crazy weekend in our lizard-loving house.... I'm writing to seek your advice about our younger beardie, Salsa, who has had a rough go of things in terms of pooping and her GI tract. When we adopted her a year ago she had a host of problems with parasites, which were very...

My big girl just ate a hornworm from the garden. She was in the bed with collard greens at the time, but by the time I caught her chomping it was too far down her throat to get it out. How poisonous are wild hornworms? We already called the vet, but wanted to know what I can do in the...

Hi all, We found some huge cicadas out in the yard.My guess is that they are no good for beardies, but I was curious.What's their status. None of our girls have eaten them, so I'm just curious. I know bees in small quantities are ok, and lightning bugs are lethal. Are cicadas ok for beardies?

Hello all, We're very worried about our 4 year old Electra. She is usually a very friendly, mild-mannered girl. In the year since we've owned her, we've never seen her beard get this dark. Yesterday, she was in the garden and she ate a small honeybee. It didn't seem to bother her (and she's...

Hi all, We just bought a big kiddie pool for our 4yr old citrus, Electra who is weighing in at a whopping 715 grrams. I'm just curious, what are recommended beardie workouts? We let the water warm up in the sun and let her swim around--but do they need intervals or anything like humans? I...

Hello all, I'm worried about our big girl Electra. She is nearly 4 years old and has just hit 720 grams. She has been steadily gaining weight all spring, but no sign of eggs. She hasn't been eating much these last few weeks and she's making very small poops, way less frequently than she was...

We had our little ones out in the garden today (one at a time, so the male doesn't get excited by the female), and our little boy started licking the dirt and looking like he wanted to taste it. I think he might have gotten a mouthful, before I picked him up and got him out of there. I know...

Hello everyone, We had our lizards out in the garden, and our big girl just ate a HUGE bumblebee. I couldn't grab her before she got it. Are they poisonous??? Help!!! Do I need to make her vomit? I tried to put my fingers in her mouth and get it, but to no avail. I'm terribly worried about our...

Tonight, our big girl fell asleep with her mouth slightly open. It's about 70 in her viv, so it's definitely not too hot. Is this a normal thing or something we should be worried about? (She has never done it before--it's not a full gape, just a little cracked open). She is pooping and eating...

Hello all, We recently determined our 1 yr old dragon, Salsa, is male and not female (by performing the sexing ritual of tail lifting). He is head bobbing/black bearding like mad, and especially if he ever catches a glimpse of our older female dragon, Electra. Tonight he started pacing around...

Hi all, Spring is coming on strong in KY and the ants in our kitchen are back with a vengeance--I've even spotted a few in our girlz' vivs. Obviously I take them out as soon as I see them, and we're trying to get the problem in our house under control--but I"m worried about the best way to do...

Our little beardie, Salsa, is nearly a year and as far as I can tell a bit of a type-A beardie. She thinks she is 2x her size, blackbeards at the other dragon we own (who is twice her size) when she sees us handling her, Electra (the big one). She even blackbeards at her own reflection in the...

hello all, Our little girl Salsa has had quite a run with parasites, though last fecal was all clear. We've been giving her acidophiliz and doing all that we could to break her little hunger strike. The good news is that she absolutely loves worms--supers, silk, horn, butter--she likes them...

Help. I'm not sure if it is normal for a dragon to go through a period where his/her eyes don't respond that well to light. Our girl is doing well, has been gaining weight and responding well to calcionate supplements and Ponazuril (for stubborn coccidia), but I noticed this morning that her...
