About two and a half years ago, three of my class mates and I all got 6-week old baby beardies from the same clutch. They were from a private "backyard" breeder, not from a reptile show or reputable/ experienced breeder. The babies were all normal and healthy at the time of purchase. They all...

Hi everyone! I am debating getting a MVB for my beardie, Alejandro. He has been battling a fungal skin infection that is mostly cleared up, and the vet said that more UVB light may help. He is a "normal" pattern with some yellow, and I've also heard that the MVB's help bring out their colors...

Alejandro suffered a bacterial skin infection back in March. He got it from playing outside and is now no longer allowed to touch the ground lol, he always has to sit on a towel when we go outside to get some sun. Anyways, the bacterial skin infection caused a lot of skin sloughing. He also...

Hi everyone, This isn't urgent at all, but I'm curious to see what other people think. My little boy, Alejandro is about a year old now. Most other beardies I know that are around his age will happily eat their salads and veggies. He has been offered collard greens and shredded carrots since...

Im pretty sure that my little boy has yellow fungus. He has yellow/orange, soft, moist hyperkaratotic plaques on his beard and chest. He I'm not sure what else it could be but any other ideas would be appreciated. I'm mad at myself now for taking him outside (to get UVB) because he must have...

ALejandro always gets up and basks for a while in the mornings. Until about 10 days ago he was very active during the day. Recently, after laying in his basking spot for a while, he has been hiding wither in the corner of his viv or behing his bonzai tree. This would not concern me, except...

This evening I got back from classes and noticed that Alejandro had some edema under his chin. He does not seem to be bothered by me touching it and he still ate his dinner eagerly. I, however am extremely concerned about it because I would hate for anything serious to develop from this...

i just like this pic, and Alejandro likes reading about his own species :) http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=918385396232&set=a.914082863542.2525309.9131107&pid=48150719&id=9131107

I bought a new thermometer (one of the digital one with a probe) yesterday. Alejandro HATES it. Its kind of funny to watch, but I don't want him to hurt himself or break the probe. He keeps gaping, puffing up and biting it. Apparently he thinks its so weird threatening creature. Hopefully...

So I'm originally from RI but am currently a grad student at UFlorida. I got Alejandro while I was down here. I'm starting to plan for winter break, and was wondering if anyone has taken their beardie on a plane before? I'm only going back for a week... and I can't decide if it would be less...

I was just curious as to what color/ pattern my baby, Alejandro is. He's 9 weeks old now and has gotten a lot more yellowish with light red stripes under his ears. His head and legs have turned significantly lighter and more yellow from the duller pale grey color he showed as a hatchling. His...

Hi! My 8 week old, Alejandro has just decided to give up on crickets. I feel like he's really young to not like them anymore, and i'm not sure why he's over them. He LOVES worms- meal, wax or pheonix. He hasnt really taken an interest in veggies but likes those little "bites" cubes. So far...

I've gotten my 7-week old "Alejandro" to be comfortable with handling and he will come up to my hand to be taken out of his viv. He seems to have potty-trained himself probably because its so much warmer in the basking area of the viv than in the rest of the house. So far so good with him but I...

My 6-week old beardie has been alternately closing his eyes one at a time. Often it happens when he is tired and before he falls asleep. He is otherwise extremely healthy and alert. He shows no signs of vision impairment, but I am worried about potential UV-B damage. We currently have a...

My month-old beardie is very friendly, but there were a few things I was wondering about. He's usually good to be picked up except for occasionally scurrying around his cage before i take him out. When i hold him he usually sits quietly on my hand, but sometimes he "passes out" and closes his...

Hi! I just got my first beardie (he's also my first non-mammal pet ever!) last weekend. He is a month old, and about 6" long. I was just wondering if there is a standardized body condition score chart for bearded dragons which would be similar to the ones used for sheep, horses, cows etc...
