So I've read through the various "eye closed" posts on here, but I feel I need to describe mine specifically. Khaleesi is keeping one eye closed, all the time, and when she does open it she does so reluctantly and it looks irritated. There's no discharge or swelling, but the color looks off. I...

I emailed her. *****. Keep it going "troops"!

Is it just me, or does NO ONE have grown dubias to sell any more? Every person who normally sells them on this forum is out, as are the other online roach retailers. Is there a global shortage or something?

Haven't posted many pics, so all you pic lovers out there, here's a few snaps of our beloved dragon. We just found out she was female when "he" surprised us with a clutch of eggs, which made sense because we'd always THOUGHT she was female but a vet made a mistake and told us she was male which...

Very perky as a matter of fact all afternoon after the big lay. Right now she looks kinda tired, but still totally alert and active. It's also a half hour till bedtime for her. She's not straining that I can see. Thanks for the reply.

Hello all, I got what I thought was a female about two years ago. Later on, a vet said "surprise, she's a he- found sperm in the fecal." Well, there must have been a mixup at the lab, because today she laid a clutch. Now I'm worried and posting this in ER because in my emergency...

Khal Drogo Hussein O'Gradaigh is taking it in shifts. He'll spend a couple of days dozing under his log or inside his turtle shell, then he'll spend a day or two out and about. He seems like he's not sure whether to brumate yet or not.

Second the parasites. Take a sample to your vet, more than likely it'll be positive for excessive pinworms or something.

Switch to dubias- they're healthier AND cheaper.

I keep my roaches in a Cricket Keeper and use the dishes that came with it.

A slew of "nays" will probably follow this post. Most of the experts on this forum will tell you that there's no such thing as completely safe sand, even ultra fine or "digestible" sand. Even putting the impaction risk aside, it still has a way of harboring bacteria, and can get into the eyes...

Awesome pics. Hate to be the jerk who criticizes, but in the friendly spirit of mutual support, I gotta put it out there- all the old experts on this here forum (of which I am not one, but I listen to them) will tell you that cohabitation is bad. You said "for the time being" so I figure you...

I got one at Lowe's. I wouldn't trust pet store stuff, especially Petco. They have a habit of making ineffective products (stick on thermometers and hygrometers, for example) and/or dangerous products (sand) just cause they know people will buy them.

Second the overpricing. 400 beans? Apparently beardies are having their own housing bubble.

I've also heard of it getting in their eyes, just one grain, and causing infections and the like, but that's not as common. No matter what you do, the beardie is gonna eat sand, and enough grains over enough time risk an impaction in their intestines. There are people who've used sand and...

So my young beardie (Khal Drogo Hussein O'Gradaigh, about a year old) doesn't have a sand box. What I want to know is... Is a sandbox very beneficial/recommended/necessary? If so, what should be in it, since sand is bad news?

Would you make them in any other color? I'm thinking like a dark wood stain.

There is no age at which sand is a good idea. It will always harbor bacteria, pose an impaction risk, etc. I predict this thread will explode in 3...2...

Mine's the same way. Almost never goes in the viv unless he's left in there too long.

Congrats on the beardie. Please allow me to give you some very important info, and forgive me if I sound nit-picky. Here's the best guide as to what you should be feeding him. http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html I'll second the mealworm thing- those can be dangerous for him at...
