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...

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...

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...

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?

Hello all, Khal Drogo Hussein O'Gradaigh is still not eating. In fact, I haven't seen him eat in about two weeks. He might be sneaking a bit of salad here or there, but not enough to be sure. Tonight, he ate a dubia- because I popped it in his mouth while he was gaping. Otherwise, he acts...

Khal Drogo Hussein O'Gradaigh, my fine beardie, doesn't eat much. He's been switched to dubias for a few months now, but he only eats a few, like less than 5 a week. He's about 10-11 months old,17.5 inches, weighs a good 350 grams, but I fear he isnt' getting enough nutrition. I give him...

Khal Drogo Hussein O'Gradaigh is at it again, confusing his loving human caretaker. He is reluctant to hunt. He only hunts crickets when he's really hungry, and rarely hunts dubias. He will literally ignore a raving cricket/roach party, BUT as soon as I reach for the tweezers, he'll take lots...

2 weeks ago, I introduced my man to dubias. He loved 'em. He ate over 10 the first day. The next couple of days, he continued to enjoy them a few at a time. Now, he doesn't seem to be eating any. He'll give them a little lizard lick and walk away. He also doesn't eat much veggies...

So...Khal Drogo Hussein's latest troubling behavior: Drogo is a 7ish month old male, about 17 inches. Over the last week or so, he's been very rambunctious, bordering on aggressive (though not towards me or any human). Every afternoon, when I take his furnishings out of the tank to collect...

Drogo (the dragon) will occassionally, as in once every other day or so, be seen to gulp, and I think I've noticed the little click sound as well. There's no discharge, no stargazing, no other common signs of URI. Is it possible for a dragon just to be mildly congested, like a human can get?

Khal Drogo Hussein O'Gradaigh, relaxing awkwardly.

I've had Drogo for about 6 months now, and he never, ever hangs out on the cool side of his enclosure. Unless he's chasing crickets that way, he's almost never seen away from the hot area. He always chills in or around the basking spot, 24/7. The temps are 105-110 on the hot side and about...

Where can a fella get roaches NOT FOR BREEDING but just for feeding? Does anyone sell grown roaches just for that? It seems like every website just has colony-starting roaches, but I'm not cool with a whole colony in my house. I just wanna dump a few in the viv and forget they ever existed.

Ok so.... Khaleesi (pictured above), has become a significant part of my life, as I'm sure you'll all understand. So when she got sick recently, I scoured this forum for answers, until I decided she needed a pro. After seeing a local vet with only basic herp knowledge, I finally took her to a...

Hello BD.org, I posted this week in Health and ER about Khaleesi and her blotchy appearance, lack of appetite, and lethargy. The vet has basically narrowed it down to 2 possibilities, one likely and good, the other unlikely and horrible. What do you think? Is it a.) A rough shed, which is...

Hello all, I've posted in Health about a recent loss of energy accompanied by watery stool. Today her lethargy was more extreme, and she developed a blotchy color pattern, with light and dark areas on her skin. The watery stool came first, with no loss of appetite. This was last week. Over...

Hello BD.org, Khaleesi spent the last week making somewhat watery, soft stool. Yesterday, she didn't eat anything (although I wasn't home to feed her and had my brother stop by to do it, so maybe that affected her appetite) or poop. Today, she didn't eat anything, but pooped a normal, solid...

I'm seeing alot of dead crickets lately in the KricketKeeper. Is it safe that I use WIpeout 1 to clean it? I dry it out completely and let it air out before I put crickets in.

Hello all, Here is a link to an online petition demanding that Petco re-evaluate their standards when it comes to beardie care. Spread the word and maybe we put enough of a scare into some fat cat execs to effect change. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/stopbeardieabuse/
