My one beardie Paprika that I got from a breeder online has mites. I had checked her over pretty good when she came home but she is orange/red and of course so are the tiny mites so I didn't see them. I didn't realize they were there until last week when one showed up on her underbelly. So I...

Sigh.....facepalm.....hope someone decent picks it up and then proceeds to give some luvin.

Babies and smaller sized dubias just look like rollie pollies and are actually kind of cute. I can handle them all with no squeemishness except for the large full sized adults. For them I just wear a special set of gardening gloves to pick them up LOL. IMO crickets are little demons. I...

As suggested I would wait until your beardie has had a few weeks in your home for relocation stress to calm down unless there is an indicator that something is amiss (or its cheap to see a herp vet where you are at). It also depends on where you are getting your beardie from. Large pet store...

One of my rescues Peppercorn was placed in a tank with an adult male when she was a baby and needless to say it beat her up good. The customer returned her to the breeder and eventually she ended up being rehomed with me. Peppercorn has a permanent S shape to her back and she cannot use her...

Normally you wouldnt' store beetles in a fridge regardless so Im not sure that would be a good check. You can wait for the worms to get a little biggger then check them in the fridge if they are super tiny right now. Or just let them grow and see how big they get. Your not treating with...

Like the above poster said. If you had the worms in a container and did not separate any of the worms to force them to turn into beetles and you got beetles anyway, you most likely started with mealworms or what they market as "Giant mealworms". Giant mealworms are usually given hormones to...

Ah yes, Cayenne is a ladies man and hes always striking a pose. He is probably the beardie closest to my heart because he is the only one that I was really concered with death as a real possibility and his growth is so slow. I'm determined to get him to grow to a healthy adult! He does the...

I got a scope for $129 and it has a camera so you can view things on your computer. I haven't set the computer part up yet LOL. Once I do, I will see if I can take screen shots of things. That would be very cool. You should see what dubia parts look like in poop. Sometimes its like whoa...

Thank you so much! I am hoping he continues to do well so I can see what he looks like when he gets older!

Grats on your cute beardie!

Hooray- Looking cute!

This is my littlest dragon rescue Cayenne. I got him from the Petstore and he was very sick, dehydrated, was barely moving and could not hold his head up for long. He had some issues with his eyes as well. He is also very small but has wiggled his way into my heart. This is Cayenne after...

Others have said they put theirs in the washer and dryer but you might need to soak and rinse in bleach or quats first? Maybe someone else can chime in on this one. I melted a portion of one in my convection oven so I just threw all of my rugs away since I didn't want to deal with it LOL. I...

WooHOO- great minds think alike. How did you make the screen? Does it fit in the tracks? Thats Saffron's cage (my large rescue male with the broken and perma-bent tail who smashes and bashes everything) so I have to figure out a way to make it stay in the tracks and be held in place by the...

Hehe yeah in my glass tank upstairs I use a 100 and still have to supplement with a CHE if its really cold. The melamine just seems to hold the heat in. I am even cracking the doors open on one of the top condoz because his cool side temps run too high. Its getting heat from the tank below I...

Toltrazuril can be used to treat coccidia according to what I read online. Flagyl is for flagellates (giardia), protozoans and can help with other bad bacteria when the levels are out of whack. I'm not sure if the yogurt has to be sugar free. Just don't use milk based. An actual probiotic...

For those of you using Critter Condoz, what wattage are you using for basking bulbs? I ask because in my 36 inch tanks I have 50 watt bulbs. Between them and the heat generated by the reptisun and the height of the cages I have to dim the 50's down to barely on to get correct temps. Then when...

I shall post more pics as my Paprika gets older. We shall see if she keeps her cute little short snout or if it gets longer. :wink:

I am fighting coccidia myself so I will tell you what I have found out. Don't worry too much about the Coccidia but prepare to be really good at cleaning. I have 7 beardies. 2 came from breeders (one has low coccidia), 2 are older rescues (one had high coccidia) and 3 are from pet store...
