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...

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...

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...

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...

It's been a little over 6 months so I need a new bulb. I see everyone harping about Arcadia +12 bulbs these days. I don't want to have to buy a new fixture for the smaller size T8 Arcadia bulbs, so can I just buy one of these? http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/ard3rela24fa.html Is a typical...

Ramses is a class pet in my class. When I got him two years ago he was malnourished and weighed 116g. He then ballooned up to 379g over the years. Around Jan he stopped eating almost everything. He no longer ate the hornworms and veggies he loved so much. He will eat a few superworms and...

Ok I just picked up Ramses' fecal results and meds... His test said the following: The number of eggs or parasites is the number on the entire slide (not per field) Parasite #1: Oxyurid (pinworm) eggs 1+ 1+ = 2 to 4 eggs or parasites (few) 2+ = 5 to 10 (small) 3+ = 11 to 50 (moderate) 4+ =...

I noticed after the past couple months that Ramses' appetite has decreased down to almost zero. I began to suspect pinworms and patiently waited for him to poop so I could bring a fecal sample to my vet. In the meantime I ordered ReptaidXL. He's been on the ReptaidXL for five days with no...

I ordered some Reptaid while waiting for Ramses to poop so I can get a fecal check done. I've never had to open his mouth to give him anything so I'm a bit unsure of how to do it. He's a very tame beardie so I don't THINK he'll get aggressive. Just looking for any tips from you "pros" :D

I'm growing increasingly worried about my dragon Ramses. He is a class pet that spend time between home and school. For the past two years he has been an absolute hornworn PIG - he'd eat them as soon as they hit the carpet. He also greedily ate his veggies, roaches, crickets, and superworms. He...

I have had Ramses (a small stunted dragon) for two years as a class pet. I adopted him from an abusive owner when he only weighed 116g. I got him a deluxe set up and his weight ballooned to 379g. He was consistently eating veggies, hornworms, superworms, crickets, etc. Sometime around December...

I have an Accurite digi thermom...the kind with the external probe attached to a wire. When I put the prob on top on my DIY rock structure the heat goes THROUGH the roof...like temps over 130. Even though it feels luke warm to my hand and Ramses will happily bask in it - so I know it's not...

I have Ramses (a rescued, stunted beardie) as a class pet in school. Since I'm a history teacher his tank is all decked out in Egyptian decor. The background, however, is just plain blue. I'd LOVE to get a custom background that matches the rest of his tank. Any idea how I can get a background...
