So just this morning the UV light was flickering pretty badly. After a while it seemed to be working fine, but then suddenly just went out. I've never had that happen before, I wonder if the light just went bad or if its the whole fixture? The light itself was only a few months old, the fixture...

I haven't been on here in a while, but I have been taking photos of Nova over the summer. Lets see If I remember how to post photos. He takes a walk across the sidewalk. Part of the yard dried out and it was like a desert there, Nova seemed to like it. He would look all around and crawl...

So for a while Nova seemingly has eating problems... But... It turns out that he wants me to hand feed him! I gave him some superworms today and he just sat there looking at them, but when I picked one up and held it close to his mouth he took it from me right away! Then he just sat there...

So at the beginning of this month I replaced the UV light as it was six months old. But, I noticed that over the month it has slowly gotten a purple glow to it. Does that mean somethings wrong with it? Also Nova has lost his apatite recently too, so I don't know if thats related to the purplish...

For a whole week now, Nova hasn't wanted to eat. He stopped eating his greens and then stopped eating worms. He has eaten only three super worms since saterday. I find it odd as it actually got warmer here recintly, but at the same time he got less active. Also his fat pads on his head have not...

First backstory. This past spring and summer I took up a new hobby of growing cactus from seed and keeping exotic cactus. But I ran into a problem of finding out my mexican cardon cactus can apparently get "frost" damage from temperatures below 70f and having water on it! So I thought maybe I...

Yesterday when I had Nova outside, he was just relaxing in the grass when a plane with a banner flew over really low. He took off running! I followed him and he was all puffed up with his mouth open! I scooped him up and took him inside. He pressed himself under my chin and I held him for a...

So after having lunch, I went and took a look at my beardie to see that somehow his foot was horrifically broken and twisted! It took me a couple seconds to realize that it was actually shed skin that was peeling at an odd angle, lol. I had a panic for a moment, but it was fine. Does that happen...

Today Nova has started blackbearding and doing an odd gape. He opens his mouth like a regular gape, but then after a second opens it wider. Also he keeps gapping even after his body is cooled off when I'm holding him. Could he be having some kind of breathing problem?

So first backstory to what I think is the cause of whats happening. My little Nova was a very good eater! I got him as a hatchling and fed him upto 20 small crickets a day and he seemed pretty stuffed. He also ate several kinds of vegetables everyday. After a few weeks as he got bigger he would...

Recently I have noticed that Nova seems to have some sort of swelling in his hips. Also lately his apatite has gone down and he hasn't pooped as often. This morning I took a couple photos of the swelling and the one side seems to have almost disappeared. So yeah, it doesn't seem to hurt him...

So my little Nova likes to eat clovers. But only outside! He will not eat them from a bowl in his tank or from my hand. I have to take him outside to the clover patch for him to eat them. Also he will eat the bearded dragon pellets, but also not from the bowl, I have to hand feed them to him...

So last night I was watching tv with little Nova and he went to sleep on my chest. He did a little wiggle and closed his eyes and got all relaxed. It was so cute and nice.

So my baby Nova has a really, really soft belly! The scales are very smooth and just feel silky soft! None of my previous beardies had soft scales like that. I wonder why Nova is so soft?

So today, when I turned on Novas lights, after basking for a few minuets he started running back and forth and glassdancing! Also seemed afraid and oddly skittish. This continued all day and stopped at about 2:30 pm. Then I learned that there was a 3.8 earthquake 130 miles south of me at 2:18...

Ok, so here is my new baby, Nova! Hey, who are you? I am little. Can I come out? What is all this? Thats all for now.

So my new tiny lizard Nova seems to be pretty picky! He will eat many crickets, but if they have calcium powder or vitamin powder, acts like he can't see them! I've gotten him to eat a few small clover leaves, but only once! Also I ordered some black solder fly larva and after watching them and...

Hello, I decided to get a new baby bearded dragon! He's so little! I'm not sure if he's weeks or days old! So the little guy was the biggest one there and also fairly active and alert. One of the others was really hyper, I touched it and it started jumping all over! I got him yesterday in the...

So my local small pet shop is getting baby beardies from a new breeder this Tuesday. I'll be going to look at them. I need some advice to try and do better with this one... What would the best staple feeder insect be and where can I order them from? Also its a possibility that I'm going to be...

Its honestly hard to believe! I still look into the tank to check on her, only to be sad and disappointed she's not there anymore. I didn't realize I had that habit of walking by to just look at her. I haven't done it any less! I guess it got ingrained on me to always check on her? Its actually...
