    My Precioussses

    It is very warming to hear of the love between beardies and their humans, as in the above-posts. Goldie will be in my prayers, too, and I'll keep sweetiepies' suggestions in mind if any accidents befall our KittyKitty. I have found one way to get my snuggles and so far it's been safe: I wear a...

    can beardies brumate in the summertime?

    Thanks, diamc, for your interest in KittyKitty. He is doing fine now with his waking and sleeping habits, has his normal energy back, and enjoying being spoiled! One thing I can't seem to get him to do, is to eat his veggies. He used to like them and he has a passion for meal worms. My...

    Thermometer is placed exactly where you specified, and happy to say he has returned to his "normal" self, and habits. You all have been terrific. Thank you.

    can beardies brumate in the summertime?

    Thanks, again, for the latest information, and I'm trying to take all this in consideration. He is just a tad over 19" long and I'd love to post a picture of him; I tried before, and can't seem to get the photo on. If someone can tell me how to do this, I'll post one. Lol, I have an archive...

    can beardies brumate in the summertime?

    You've given me so much help/tips, and I'll apply them. I'll answer the previous questions, though: He loves his baths, and I have no problem with giving him fluids (he was at a vet's about 8 mos ago, and we needed to give him oral meds for a tummy irritation and he took them well)...

    can beardies brumate in the summertime?

    During the two years we've had him, he normally had the pad and the Zilla bulb both. Yes, it is a Zilla UVB. His digesting temperature has been normal, and the thermometer (don't know the brand) is normally at a minimum of 80. Tank is about 40 gallons, normally feed him mealworms, crickets when...

    can beardies brumate in the summertime?

    Thank you for the reply; I'll take all in serious consideration, and here's the answers to the questions asked: It's been about a week without a lamp on, although he's on a heated pad...the kind made for terrariums. He is outside in the sun twice a day for about 45 minutes each. His age is...

    can beardies brumate in the summertime?

    Our little guy has a great appetite, but chooses to crawl into his cave, and stay in the cool. I haven't been running his light during the day, due to his outdoor exposures. Am I forcing him into brumation because of this, or is this normal? :study:

    Lights used during brumation?

    KittyKitty, age unknown by vet, is now brumating. This is the first time since we've had him (2 years). He's healthy, just over 19" long, and now staying in his cave, kinda' sleeping. Do I use any heat at all, or any light at all? I've been using his "night light" but not the day-time light...

    Thanks for input, beardie lovers. We will try both suggestions, as KittyKitty has 14 days of oral meds within those incredible jaws! :banghead: Much appreciated.

    Brumating beardie's temperature

    Our adult beardie, KittyKitty, seems to be in brumation. He's in his cave and all appears well. However he's very cool to the touch. How can I be sure he's not getting too cold, and should I still spray a mist in the tank for humidity? :study:

    Can beardies have hemorrhoids?

    Thanks for your answer, Gem - is a vet's visit suggested, or are there OTC things that might help? I also noticed you commented on a beardie's "clicking". What do they click with ... teeth? New one for me! Regards to all beardie lovers :P

    Can beardies have hemorrhoids?

    KittyKitty is healthy acting in every respect. He's also "house trained" and does his potty jobs outdoors on regular outings. The last few times we've had him out, there were a couple of tiny drops of blood after he pottied. Not IN the potty, but on the grass. He strains when he has a BM...

    KittyKitty has a pinkish lipline

    Hi! My male beardie is beginning to show different colors after we adopted him about 7 months ago. During those 7 months he's had a successful shedding, (right after we got him), and now his citrus ancestry is coming through...handsome citrus around his edges and light patterns here and there...

    Hurt from a jump?

    I tried to put pictures of our little guy on the site, but they didn't go ~ I guess I need some help getting a pic on. It's almost midnight here in southern IN, so I will try tomorrow.
