My dragon has developed a rather large, provably 2 quarters worth of area, gray spot. She has been with my mom for the last week and she says it started smaller and is growing. It doesn't look like shedding. The color is much different. More gray less pale. I am having to post from my...

I have a bag of guinea pig food that I have no use for. I was wondering if this would make a decent base for roach chow? It is Min 20% Protein, Min 4% Fat, Max 15% Fiber, and Min 150 mg/lb Asorbic Acid (Vitamin C). Would this be high enough protein?

I am about to move back to school and I finally have a house (not living on campus). This means I will be bringing my little (not so much anymore) girl with me. I will not have good access to crickets so I am looking at starting a turk colony. I have a few unanswered questions though. Any...

No changes so it should have been at that for several days now. Shortly before, though I switched her bulb from an incandescent one to a halogen flood lamp.

OK just a quick update. I got a probe thermometer and her basking hammock is at 107 F. Is that good or is it too high?

I don't have a probe thermometer. Can you recommend one. The only ones I have been able to find are for meat and their calibrated range is far too high. The only ones I can find are specifically "Reptile thermometers" that are outrageously overpriced. I have looked at Walmart and Lowes and...

There were probably 3 undigested. I fed her about 55, whatever was in the cup from PetSmart. Her basking spot is a hammock so its hard to get a surface temperature, but the thermometer on the wall about 7 inches above her spot (out of direct light) reads 100 F, so I imagine her spot is...

I have a 13 month old. I fed her wax worms on Tuesday as a treat (she usually gets them every 1-2 months). Today she pooped out undigested wax worms. There doesn't appear to be other undigested food (i.e. greens, squash, etc.), just the worms. Should I be concerned about this, or is this...

My dragon has been having large hard urates for a while. Since I am away at college I only see here ever 2 or 3 weeks and have yet to see what my mom was meaning when she said this. Today I saw and I truly don't think this is typical. She dropped a urate today that was almost a cm in diameter...

Ok that makes perfect sense and appears to describe her behavior to the tee. Thanks for the replies and complements on her!

My beardie has been exhibiting some strange behavior recently. She has started glass dancing and digging at the corners of her cage. It varies, sometimes she acts like there is something outside the cage she wants, sometimes she acts like she is hunting crickets, even though there aren't any...

OK I will try a combination of misting greens, a little romain, and upping bath time. As for calcium, I thought that could be causing it, so we cut back considerable and even have stopped for a while.

What type of lettuce? Iceberg? :-/ or leaf? We have done baths, but they never last 20 min. I usually put her in the sink and scoop water onto her back. She will just sit there for a few minutes and then without fail she will all of a sudden start trying with all she is worth to climb out...

My dragon has been having issues with hard urates for a while and oftentimes will not poop unless she is given a bath. I have done some research and found that the problem is probably caused by dehydration. My question is how do I get her to intake more fluids? She normally eats greens...

Ok, we stopped supplimentation all together, started wetting her greens, and have been giving her things like squash (squash has caused soft poop in the past), and she has been off and on for the last couple weeks. She pooped just fine for a few days then went back to not pooping, unless she is...

So my bearded dragon hadn't pooped in over a day so I out her in the bath to help. she finally did poop but the white portion was huge and hard (over 2 in long and bigger around than a pencil). She is 34 weeks old and 19 in long. I am afraid that if I hadn't helped her she might not have been...

That looks GREAT! I wanted to do one just like this. Do you have any pics of the process?

I figured the less stress the better so I got her cage cleaned as fast as possible and got her back in. Right before I put her in she was still acting upset with me but I didn't see anything in her throat. She has been fine all day since.

She is now acting REALLY scared if I try to touch her.

OK so I moved my dragon over to a tub in order to clean here cage and she was enjoying her morning salad so I moved it with her. I just went to pick her up though and she bearded me and opened her mouth, and there were tons of carrot in the back of her throat. I am afraid she has some stuck...
