Oh, don't you love when the inside of their nostrils shed but it's stuck there? As long as both of them aren't stopped up, gently massaging the skin should help. That's the most you can do. Actually picking off the skin before it is ready to come off is risky. You can have premature skin...

Oh my heavens, that picture makes me want to cry. This is my first post in about a year, but I remember I rescued my Beardie, Zeusy from a fourteen year old that only had a solitary UVB (no basking light, sand substrate, 20 gal for a supposed 2 year, AND a heat rock) The craigslist ad had the...

Oh I hate that stinkeye....My beardie scares me more then my mom when she gets mad. :lol:

My beardie does this, and my fiancee and I call it the "poop dance." He hates pooping in his vivarium, so we have to get him in time before he gets all upset and poops. He also bonks his nose against the vivarium too. Dragons have an odd way of expressing themselves sometimes.

Today, we decided to go to petco for the reptile rally. We brought Zeusy there, and everyone was saying how colorful and orange he was. Funny, I thought he wasn't that colorful since I adopted him in November. I loved him nonetheless. No other people showed up, so he won 1st place in the beauty...

Haha thank you ZeusAlmighty, lol, but Zeusy won't even touch worms. We tried a superworm at petco today and he had none of it... I tried waxworms *not as a staple* and he just stared at them. He's so set in his ways. The specialist said to puree the greens and stick the slices of butternut...

Zeusy is almost 3 and i'm putting the salad in once a day. tried bok choy yesterday and he HATED it. He tends to like the greens half dried. he was brought up on iceberg (not by me, he was adopted), and i spray his butternut squash with vitamins 4 times a week. He won't even touch escarole! He...

Hello fellow beardie lovers, I've ran into a wall with dealing with Zeusy. He WILL NOT EAT ANYTHING but crickets every few days. OCCASIONALLY he'll eat butternut squash from my hand, and he's chomp up dandelion flowers. But NOT dandelion greens. I've tried him on Kale, collard greens...

Zeusy is a 2 1/2 year old beardie, and he has been eating less and less each week. Not to the point of emaciation, but enough to make me worry. He has leftover crickets, and only eats butternut squash from my hand. My fiancee thinks he's having a minor impaction, but he seems to be pooping fine...

Oh my gosh do beardies love to jump! I took Zeus outside and he started licking the rain off the grass. I was like, "so that's how i can make him start drinking! :blob5: He's always like-- Jumping on the base of the sliding glass door and peering out. I have to find that picture... They're...

Thank you Gail. I will purchase that ASAP. He was raised on Romaine, which doesn't have much nutritional value...so we're experimenting still. he seems to like escarole...but i know that's high in vitamin A, so i don't feed carrots too much. :study: I look forward to him trying dandelion...

I've been afraid to, but i'm gonna just come out and say it. 1.) I need a 10 Reptisun long bulb & most likely the station that holds it. (We have a 5) Suggestions? 2.) My beardie is about 2 1/2. I feed 30 large crickets *dusted w calc* once every 2 days. Is this enough? 3.) I feed him mixed...

Thank you. I will look into getting the proper height and the right temperature for him. Every time I look into Zeus's golden eyes I really am so happy we have him in our lives. :mrgreen:

Thank you for the input...So beardies do not need places to hide? It's so confusing due to the conflicting information out there. I'll scour the web for something that can get him higher to the lamp. Local pet stores really don't have extensive sections for reptiles, unfortunately.

Hi all, I see there are a lot of brumation/hiding kind of things going on in the Behavior thread, but my problem doesn't seem too related. Zeus is a rescue and only had a 5.0 reptisun UVB when adopted. We added a 100W halogen basking lamp on a stand adjacent to the UVB. The digital thermometer...

such color! I see Zeus looking out the window all the time. i figure i'll find him a harness soon. he even jumped on the door and peeked out the glass dangling there on the sliding glass doors

butternut squash. he does backflips. Well not literally.

Ok, so i've had Zeus since I started here on the forums. Sometimes he's downright SCARY. And I mean with the way he glares, it looks like he's cursing you out silently. I wonder if other beardies look this way sometimes, because Zeus would never hurt a FLY! Maybe a cricket, but not a fly! LOL

thank you for your advice. For some reason Zeus HATES collard greens. So i'm hoping in the new supermarket that opened I can find other kinds of greens. Today is cricket day, and he had red lettuce and green lettuce, but it's better then iceberg or romaine. The old owner fed him iceburg. omg i...

I have a 2 year old rescue beardie named Zeus. He used to be very picky, but he'd eventually give in and then eat kale, but not that much. Then I found he liked escarole and would eat it without us even doing much, with us sprinkling butternut squash on it. He's ENAMORED with butternut squash...
