Hi! I just noticed before that my Beardie couldn't shut his right eye properly. It looks like he has a bit of skin that has shed or something caught right in there and when he tries to shut his eye it is keeping it open it a bit! I feel really bad for him because it looks painful and annoying...

Lately I have been watching a lot of videos on youtube of people walking around and showing off their massive pet collections. These are the type of people who have something like 20 snakes, 10 lizards, 5 turtles, birds, dogs, cats, spiders, fish etc etc, the list just goes on. I always thought...

I took my Beardie out for a bit of natural sunlight today. He wasn't technically outside but we have a glass room here where we keep pot plants and it gets really hot in there. Since the room is mostly glass I thought it would give him a chance to absorb some natural sunlight. I put him in the...

And is there such a thing as giving them too many baths? Is once a day too many? Should it be only once or twice a week?

Hey everyone, I thought I would give you an update on my little guy (Pringle) and his (or her) enclosure. When I first got Pringle I didn't have the tank set up for him, so I just sort of had to quickly put something together so he would have somewhere to live. The photo below is the tank on...

Hi guys, up until recently my Beardie has been in a tank that was half wood chips and half paper towel. I saw him eat one of the woodchips though which made me very nervous so I decided to speed up the tank renovation and remove all the wood chips. There are now no wood chips left and the...

I put the gutload onto the crickets carrot like the packet said to, but is that the only way to do it? For example, could you sprinkle some gutload directly onto a Beardies greens or do they have to consume it through a second party eg the crickets.

My thoughts are with all those affected by these terrible floods in Queensland, and even the flash flooding that happened in Victoria overnight. Both are said to get worse and it's just horrible. I don't know if there are any members of this forum from QLD but if there are then I hope that you...

I think I just found one in my house and am interested to learn about them.

I'm freaking out! Okay, let me explain. I was just cleaning my teeth and getting ready for bed tonight when I look down and see two little eyes looking up at me and there was a lizard on my carpet, in my house! I completely freaked out. Now I know what you're thinking, how can someone who owns...

What does this mean?

I feed my Beardie crickets in his tank and he sometimes misses some. I know you are supposed to remove uneaten ones but I sometimes miss them too and they always seem to find little areas to hide. For his basking spot my Beardie has a log which instead of a fake log is a real one that I bought...

Details: http://vhs.com.au/ I have never even heard of this, but I saw some videos on youtube of previous expos and now I really want to go. Is anyone else here thinking of heading to the expo?

My Beardie seems extremely stressed right now. It's night time and I just turned off his UV light and when I do that he usually just curls up in the viv or in his house to sleep, but right now he just wont settle down! He keeps running up and down the length of the tank and his stress marks are...

Okay, so I have been on this site for a while now and whenever I talk about food I seem to be directed to this site called 'Beautiful Beardies' and a nutritional information page. My only problem is I think this is an American page. I live in Australia and don't know half of those things. Now...

My Beardie tank currently has a lining of paper towel. The paper towel creates an especially white reflection on the glass and he often sees his own reflection in it, and sometimes even tries to chase crickets' reflection instead of the real crickets. I really want to get one of those desert...

I have had my first ever Beardie for 2 days now and as a first time owner I need a lot of advice. First of all I have noticed that my Beardie has dark colours on him which I have read can be because of stress. It's only been two days so I assumed he would have some relocation stress but I don't...

Okay I have had my Beardie for two days now, very first one and I am having trouble feeding him crickets. I'm not scared of the crickets or anything, but I just find it hard to get them from the container they come in to the tank that my Beardie lives in. When I open the container (over the...

So I just got my first ever Beardie today who I have named Pringle. He has only been home a few hours and seems a bit unsure of both his new environment and of myself. I expected him to be like this at the start though, he needs to get used to things. He has eaten some crickets and I also cut up...

I just got my first Beardie ever, so I'm a bit worried about my lack of knowledge. I just set up the tank, I have a light, UV light and a heat lamp. The heat lamp doesn't actually have a bulb in it yet, they didn't tell me that in the store so now I need to get a bulb for it. What bulb should I...
