For those of you who have beardies and other pets: how does that work out? Do puppies bark a lot or try to get at your beardies, and does the barking scare your beardies? Do you keep them in the same rooms or do you have to keep them separate? Is getting a dog a really bad idea for someone...

My beardie has a large, discolored (slightly darker) patch on his stomach that I noticed a week or two ago. He has had coccidia for months. We just moved to a new state and the move was very stressful for him, since he stayed in a few different houses and his tank did not reach as hot temps as...

We just moved to Manhattan and I am looking for a new reptile vet. I live in the UWS/Morningside Heights and work in Chelsea, so either of those areas would be ideal. Please give suggestions. Thanks!

I recently switched to FlukerFarms as my cricket provider, but I have noticed that there is some sort of strange beetle larva in the boxes of crickets. The most recent shipment had tons and I am worried about feeding some to Charm by accident. Does anyone know what they are? Could they be...

Hello, I am considering starting a colony of Dubias and would like any information I can get. Are there any links with comprehensive info and instructions? How much does it cost to start a colony? Once you start it, how much to maintain? How long will it take before I can feed them to my...

Where do you give your beardie a bath? I used to use a large tupperware, but Charm has outgrown it. I am nervous to use the tub, since that probably has residue from soap and shampoo and all sorts of chemicals. Today I used the bathroom sink, but was nervous that he may be able to jump out...

I am moving to a different city and will be driving 6 hours or so with Charm in the car. How do I keep him warm and happy while we are traveling? I have a pet carrier (really for small dogs) to keep him in. What should I make sure to have in the carrier with him during the trip? I have been...

Until recently, I did not use a lid on my tank and the lights are attached using clips. However, Charm recently learned how to escape from his tank and I have started keeping the lid on when I am not in the room. I've been told that the screen blocks the UV light - is that true? If so, what...

Since we got Charm, he has been pretty lazy and spent most of his time basking. About a week ago, he started getting extremely active and runs around his tank all day, even knocking over his furniture. He also learned how to escape so we had to start putting the top on the tank, which we have...

Charm has been sick for a while with coccidia (parasites). He was treated but not much changed... Until this week. Starting about a week ago, he poops every day (used to be every 2 or 3 days) in much smaller amounts. It is also a much more solid consistency. Is this a good sign that means...

Charm is 9 months old. Since I had him I fed him only veggies and crickets, but this week introduced mealworms into his diet. I have found that ordering crickets in bulk is somewhat unreliable and I want to have a constant source of protein for him even if I get a bad shipment of crickets...

Hi Everyone, Charm is 8 months and protein is still a big part of his diet. We usually buy our crickets in bulk and feed him from the same batch for a week or two, but recently large percentages of the crickets have been dying. Charm has had parasites for about 2 months and we are worried...

We are moving this summer and may need to be in a car for 7+ hours. How do we keep Charm safe, healthy, warm, and happy while we are traveling?

My beardie enjoys burrowing - when I take him out of his tank, he often burrows in the couch cushions. However, I am currently using terrarium liners as substrate. I have heard a lot of bad things about sand and don't want to use it, but I think it would be great for him to have something to...

I always get nervous holding my beardie outside his cage because he often tries to run for it, and a couple times has managed to launch himself off the couch before I could catch him. I know other people who just let their beardies sit on their shoulders while they walk around, but I'm so...

Sometimes I worry that my beardie is bored. He spends most of his time basking and there is not much for him to do. I take him out when I can but my apartment is too small and cluttered to really let him out of his tank frequently. Are there toys for beardies, or other ways to entertain them? I...
