Backstory; Bearded dragon who has been sick for quite some time. Vet #1 didn't seem to do much for her after a lot of visits and money. Let her chill out for a little while before trying vet #2 (she stared losing a lot of weight with Vet #1 visits and leveled out after I stopped taking her)...

Thanks for the reply. I am moving to a small town, so hopefully there is a reptile vet up there! It's on my list of things to research. I took her to the vet a couple of days ago, though she hasn't been gaining much weight (it's up an down) she does seem to be stronger. She is going on 3...

I haven't had many BD ewwws. I had a snake, which I recently rehomed due to a move coming up, and he got some ewws. I've also had pet rats and mice (yep, I'm weird enough to be able to feed a previous pet species to another pet) and they get ewwws as well. I just shrug, it's their loss. Not...

I have a female dragon who has been slow and sick for a looong time. I am on vet #2 and one recent suggestion was upping the cage temps even though they are warm enough, though on the lower end of the suggestion spectrum. I keep the basking area around 103ish and the floor at 80. She will do...

My bearded dragon has been having issues on and off for some time now. She has seen two different vets but they don't seem to make a huge difference. I have temp thermometers in multiple locations, so I don't think it's environmental. To be honest it seems like she's had a stroke or...

So, I have been trying to heat up the inside of my enclosure since my dragon likes it toasty (she won't eat if it's too cool and has been on a food strike recently). I bought another heat lamp and turned up the temps on the floor to get her to perk up. Last night I was washing a new basking...

I've read that some will sleep for up to a year and a half. I double checked after she brumated for a while to be sure. Maybe those sources were wrong? But, that is why I woke her up. Though she had no chances it was like, "ok.... this is a bit much." The lack of a natural environment...

My bearded dragon always seems to be slow to get back to eating when she wakes up. I usually remedy it by upping the you have to be careful since, of course, you don't want to cook your dragon. I went up less than 10 degrees but it was enough to kick start her and wake her up more. If your...

I like using hornworms to fatten up my guy, they grow huge and you don't have to feed him 100 of them, just a few. You just want to make sure you have a good cold environment for the hornworms (cooler with ice pack) so they won't grow to big too fast for your guy. Butterworms can be good too...

So, a little history... a little over a year ago my dragon had something in her eye that made it look a little cloudy. I took her to the vet and he tried a couple of things with no results at all. She was losing weight fast as well. She was just going into brumation and after dropping a lot...

So, my Bearded dragon has been sick for a little bit. I had her in and out of the vet's office, 5-600 bucks later, no change. One of her eyes looked infected but nothing he gave me changed anything and she stopped eating. So, I left her alone, she started eating again (stress from the Dr...

She has a UVB tube light and I just bought her a new one maybe two weeks ago just to see if it would help. It is UVB 10. She is on tile. I used saline when I first noticed her eye and it seemed to make it more irritated instead of less. She will watch her food squirm around and seem...

I can try to get an eye shot when I get back home tonight. She perked up last night, after I posted this, and I was doing the meds/force feed ritual. So, she might not be as bad as she seemed before I posted. She keeps on leaving the heat lamp area (I have multiple thermometers so I know it's...

So, I thought I'd look for tips or insight on my current Dragon blues. I have a girl who is roughly 3 to 4 years old. She got what looked to be an infection in one eye. The eyelid that lies in-between her eye and the outer lid was stuck in the middle and it was reddish. Took her to the vet...

I have a dimmer and my spot lights are still to warm, in the 117 degree area with the dimmer all the way down. The smaller watt bulb hit 120 degrees O.o The round bulbs hit around 90 where she will actually bask but much warmer closer to the bulb.

oh, also, she seems to dislike heat a lot. I own a large number of probe thermometers and they will all say less than 100 but she will be hanging her mouth open like she is hot. She also likes to crawl under her log where its very much not hot. She will hang out in the basking spot if I put...

I got my beardie a huge cage since I found it on Craigs list for a great price. It was used for a large snake. It is 2' x 2' and 6' long. its made out of thick plastic and I have slate tiles for the floor. Her basking area is a set of 3 large branches. I have tried basking lights, but they...

So first, don't worry I don't plan on buying Cali sand or any of the other notrious substrates for killing beardies. I have read on here that play sand properly washed is ok. I took my dragon down to my Aunts a few weeks ago while on Vacation and let her run outside (my aunt lives in the...

Oops, I will order another one today then. Thanks.

I have the usually recommended ReptiSun (I think thats what its called) 10.0. Its 6 months old, I was under the impression they are good for a year, is that right? I put her in the bath this morning after waking her but she didn't poop. She is awake now and she ate a little. I got my order...
