As some of you know, I have a habit of taking in special needs dragons over the years. Working with an exotic vet has allowed me to be able to provide the care these guys have needed over the years with out breaking the bank. Yesterday, I got wind of a local shop that will not be named having...

Hey guys it’s about time to replace Spitfires light and I am having trouble finding ARCADIA 12% UVB T5 HO 22 inch anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get one? I’m USA based. If not I’ll have to look at my other options but I really like how this brand preforms.

Hi Guys, I lost Ziva a few months back to what was most likely adenovirus going off her pathology results. (No cross contamination between her and Spitfire. I have strict protocols) So I sent Tracie the test for Spitfire and it came back positive.(I am talking with her about disinfection and...

Well, Zivas been sick again, took her in and did blood work, xrays and a fecal again So far the only thing that’s comeback fully is the fecal. I should have everything else today. Guess what. My poor kid has Isospora. Can I get some help as far as disinfecting everything? What do I need to...

I’ve had Ziva since July 2018. No history was picked up at 150 grams and 13 inches. Was told they guy could no longer keep her and that was all I got history wise. 2018 and 2019 great. No real health issues. Ate anything and everything, always was begging to come out when I was home, even more...

Hi guys, Zivas had some weird healthy issues for a long time. Earlier this year she had a mass in her abdomen that turned out to be a large urate that was stuck. Hard as rock and about the size of the last joint in my thumb (so like 1/2 inch long) She finally passed it with some meds, daily...

So if anyone of you knows Ziva, you know she’s a rescue with medical issues. Some of these issues result in her not eating like she should. Well I discovered she really really loves the repashy omnivore gel food. She ate more of this today than anything else if offered this month, and trust...

So last night I got home, was giving Ziva her normal pm love and snack, and I noticed this on her scales between her hips. Cleaned up up, applied some SSD and called it a night. Got up this am, cleaned her up again, and saw this!!! (Photo below) I took her in with me and dropped her off at...

Well, on my lunch yesterday a friend who works at my old job at a petstore called (I won’t say what one). They had a return of a baby bearded dragon with “blood” on its face, lethargic, not eating. Because of Covid, all our local reptile vets are booked two weeks out, even my own Hosptial. Due...

Hi guys! With the warmer weather and Zivas new cage, her mercury bulb is getting to hot for her. Can I use a thermostat on it? She’s got an arcadia bulb for UV so I’m not worried about a thermostat reducing the uv out put of her mercury bulb. I ended up having to shut her mercury bulb off all...

Ziva hasn’t been acting right this past month or so. She’s now refusing to come down to the floor to eat her salads, or even bugs(and she loves bugs). At first we thought it was a site issue, but her vet can’t find anything wrong with her site. She’s also having either very loose stools or...

Hello!! It’s been a long time! After my last dragon passed, it took a long time before I was in a place where I could get another one again. Honestly for a while I never thought I’d get one again and they I came across her. My dads a woodworker for fun, he learned from his father and he can do...

Hi guys! I'm about to have surgery here soon and I'm trying to make things as easy as possible on myself and my roommates should they have to step in and feed Ziva. While I was away for four days I premade little baggies for my roomamte to feed daily and that was super easy, but with surgery I'm...

I was sitting out with Ziva today and noticed her right eyes clear area seemed larger than her left. Has anyone seen anything like this before? She’ll come to work with me on Monday and see her vet just incase.

So it’s been almost 8 years since I’ve had a dragon in the house. My last dragon died of what her vet assumed was old age. Last week I walked into my local petco to pick up some food for the goldfish pond out back, and I saw a sign that said “Thibk adoption first, we have the following animals...

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pet/4442210347.html Was browsing for a new cage for my tarantula and came across this. I recently moved into an apartment and can't take anymore reptiles other wise I'd snatch up the one with the really really kinked tail. Won't someone please rescue these babies!?

This is how Roy sleeps..Ignoring the soft things to sleep on

So my boy is doing this weird thing at night. I turn out his lights, rooms pitch black, he goes to bed like a good boy. Then in the middle of the night, he wakes me up.. Running back and forth, glass dancing, freaking out like somethings wrong. I get up, turn the lights on, nothings wrong...

So there was an accident at work today, one of the other bearded dragons turned on the other little one. He lost almost all his tail.. So I took him home with me : ) He's adjusting well, already basking, doesn't seem to bother him to much. As soon as hes all healed up and has a clean bill of...
