I posted a thread in the memorial section if you'd like to know more about his life - he had a rather interesting one.

Three years ago I saw an ad on Craigslist for a beardie and cage for $40. I called and asked if they would give me, a teacher, a discount. They said I could have him for free! At the time I didn't know much about beardies. I soon discovered he was malnourished and stunted - he was two years old...

He mucous membranes were very pale for they ran blood work for anemia - it was normal. Then they did an x-ray and ultrasound. He had fluid around his heart and/or lungs. They said it could be caused from a tumor (likely since the ultrasound showed nothing), a bacterial infection (unlikely they...

He's never been "active"...he's a big slug. He is still very black (4 hours later) and his eyes are closed (which is not uncommon for him...

I've had Ramses over three years. His temps are always 101 in basking, 10.0 UVB, and everything. He was fine when I gave him some green beans for breakfast this morning. I just looked at him and his beard is BLACK which his never is. The last few inches of his tail also have dark stripes which...

I was feeding Ramses his breakfast and noticed the tip of his toe is swollen. It doesn't seem to bother him and he still chased after his worms this morning. He does have a 6" high basking platform that he likes to "jump" off. Could he have broken something? He just got done shedding if that...

If you are going to paint you need a ZERO voc paint...very few local stores sell it so don't bother. I bought mine online...a brand called Ecopaint. It's safe for animals, babies, and reptiles lol. It takes temps well over 125 with NO smell or vocs.

Todd (from lightyourreptiles) and I went over the numbers and with a total height of 24" and 14" between the bulb and the basking platform that a 12% bulb (with reflectors) would be too much UVB and he advised me to go with the 6%.

Has anyone seen a 36" dual-bulb T5 fixture with reflectors? The only ones I can find are for fish tanks and the tops are curved. I need one with a flat top so I can mount it in my viv...

I keep my animals in my living room so I need enclosures that look classy - furniture like. Here is my hamster enclosure with the doors open: Yes those are red LED lights hooked up to timers for night time :P I wanted to make beardie an equally cool enclosure. Since he is a stunted beardie...

That was one of my guesses, but this has been going on for a few months now. Also I have never seen her dig or even attempt to dig.

Well I dunno if it helps answer the question, but Ramses is a FEMALE (99.999% sure). SHe has only eaten a couple superworms all week and her weight is now 393g. She also hasn't pooped in almost 2 weeks despite warm baths and belly rubs. :banghead: And to make things even weirder her face is...

His appetite was dropping long before he took the prescription meds. I don't think he is constipated because he pooped last week. He is just not pooping much since he isn't eating much. I give him baths to hydrate him and massage his belly, etc. Other than that his behavior seems pretty...

My beardies appetite has tanked over the last few months. He used to gobble up veggies, hornworms, and superworms with glee. He hardly eats anything now...this week I think he's only eaten 1 superworm. The week before he ate a total of 6 and a couple pieces of veggie. I took a fecal sample to...

Is it ok to have the basking bulb (during the day) on one side and the ceramic heat emiter (at night) on the other? Or shoudl both bulbs be on the same side?

I need one JUST like this that is 2' instead of 4'. I need to be able to attach it to the roof of my enclosure - I do not want to hang it from chains, wtc. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-203137160/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=t5+strip&storeId=10051

I'm a social studies teacher with a beardie as a class pet. Long story short he was abused and stunted by his former owners. He weighed 113g when I got him and he now weighs around 380g! :mrgreen: Since he is rather small he fits nicely in a 55g tank on my windowsill. Here is a pic: While...
