And I have NO idea what for. He was sat on my leg (like he had been for an hour) while we were watching tv, and I was stroking his beard like always. Next thing I know, he's biting me and visibly putting quite some beardie strength into it. Then he let go and looked at me like 'What, I shouldn't...

Is it ok to not use substrate and just leave the bottom of the tank bare wood? Spike's taken a liking to the taste of his repticarpet so I've taken it out, but it'll be a day or 3 until I can get something else he'll not be able to eat! I'm thinking slate tiles, cause his claws are starting to...

Are there any kind of bugs you can give other reptiles that are dangerous for beardies apart from lightning bugs? I'm just wondering what kind of different things I can get him, because he refuses crickets and only eats locusts and greens. I want to see him take on an armoured cricket, but...

Anyone have thier beardie out pretty much all the time? If Spike's not out he finds a corner of the viv and sulks until I feel guilty enough to bring him out again. :lol: He seems to like being out with me, my arm is cramped because he's fallen asleep on it. :roll:

Well Spike's eyes are watery and sticky again, it had cleared up for a while but it looks like it's back. I never figured out what was causing it in the first place. When I woke him up today he couldn't open his left eye because it was stuck together, so he spent a minute furiously rubbing his...

I had Spike on my shoulder earlier and felt him crawl off onto the sofa, so I got up, turned around and couldn't see him. I looked around the sofa, under the sofa, absolutely everywhere. This went on for almost 20 minutes until I get too hot and take my hoodie off. There he was, all warm and...

Has anyone else noticed that when thier beardie lays his head on a rock (Spike HAS to have a 'pillow' :lol: ), it's beard will go patchy black and white? While I was posting this, he opened his mouth really wide and it clicked pretty loud. I know he's ok cause he just ate like a pig. It looked...

My friend just gave me his gravid (infertile) 3 year old female. She's been very well looked after, and should be laying within the next week or so. She's healthy but I'm cautious, so I wanted to know if there is any way to make sure she lays them all or if it's just a case of making her...

I have a spare glass viv that i'd like to move Spike into, as it's taller and he likes to climb a lot. I'm not sure it's big enough, so would like some advice if possible. Spike is 15 inches long with a bit of tail missing, and the viv is 31" tall, 31" long, and 17" wide. Will he be comfortable...

Well my mom decided to make me move Spike into the kitchen because she 'wants him to be more sociable'. He's staying at their house until I move into my new flat in a couple of weeks. He only just got over the last move, and doesn't like lots of noise. Which there now is. I HATE the fact they...

I rescued Spike a week and a bit ago, and he's doing awesome. The guy didn't really seem interested in Spike, and when I first asked his name the guy was like 'uhh... Spike', like he was trying to think. I know him as Spike now, and I keep thinking that I'll keep him as that, but the thought...

Spike has really watery eyes today, both of them. The fluid, whatever it is, isn't totally clear and it sticks a little to my finger. He went to the vet recently and she hardly glanced at his eyes. I'll be spitting flames if something is wrong. I'm going to get her to call me today. In the...

My beardie is staying at my parents' house for a couple of weeks and my brother is in a band. He's always on his drums, and he's having the whole band over tomorrow. He refuses to reschedule, andd I'm not able to be arounnd or take the beardie anywhere else. I'm assuming this will stress him...

Hey, I'm a little unsure of my UVB setup so I just wanted to check here that all is as it should be. Right now I have Spike under a Reptisun 5.0 (I know, it was all I could get hold of!), and the tube is just connected to the 2 plastic ends and held to the top of the viv with clips. Do I need...

I've made various posts here about my new guy here already, but since he's a rescue I'll tell his story here. I first heard about spike when a friend told me about someone she knew selling a beardie cause they didn't have time for him. When I got to the house, he was huddled in a corner with...

Hey, my little guys just started puffing and kind of throwing his head back. This is the first ive seen him do it but i've only had him 2 days. I've not seen him drink any water or eat much greens, but I did give him a small bath when I got him home as he was filthy. He's off to the vet...

I got Spike yesterday from a young family who obviously didn't know much about beardies but he seems healthy and happy, if a little skittish (maybe from rough handling, or lack of handling). He came in a 4 foot wooden viv. He now has a basking light and a Reptisun 5.0 (mum stopped off at the...

How do i know my little guys stat is working? I got him from a young family yesterday and his conditions were poor. I now have him under a basking spot, but I have no idea if my his stat is working or not. Is there any way I can check? I have no thermometers right now, but it's on my list of...
