Last night, we came home to see serum and blood coming out of Tiki. We rushed her to the vet where he diagnosed Coccidia. We have take her to several wellness visits before and they never caught this. The Vet said that a very well cared for and fed dragon will not show signs until it is to...

No need to move to Health - trust me. So I walk by Tiki's house and she's flat. Head down, pathetic, barely moving, eyes half open. Kind of freaked me out, so I got her out. THE SECOND she got out, she was super tall and proud dragon, bright open eyes, running and scampering and licking...

Morning :) Our high today is 55*. We still wanted to take out little girl and give her a snuggle, and playtime and whatnot. But it was a bit chilly in the house, so we found the heating pad, set it on low and plopped her on it. It's got a cover on it that feels like fleece. IMMEDIATELY -...

I've heard this weird story that Bearded Dragons actually live in the wild. What a lie! They can't exist in the wild! Who would make their salads?!?!?! They have to be cut to perfection! They couldn't possibly survive on WILD food - what about parasites? And I think all the wonderful...

And definitely NOT an arm wave. Just curious if anyone else's dragon does this. In the mornings I'll walk by Tiki's house, and she'll "wave" at me. Not the cute little arm wave you guys are used to, but she flexes her hand out all the way, fingers out straight, then put it back wherever it...

Morning :) So the end, about three inches, of Tiki's tail is quite dark compared to the rest of her body. However when she has her morning bath, it all evens out. What's up with that??? Is she OK? I've heard of tail rot and am now a bit ancy. Thanks!

This seems to be a "health" thing :) Go ahead and look at Asheville, NC on the radar. We have a massive cell to the northwest, and then Hurricane Lee is to the south. Screw this weather. Anyway -- I know that dragons need higher temps... eh, 85-95-100 to properly digest protein. HOWEVER -...

This is a photographic expression of my irritation - and also includes Tiki! For all of the genius camera owners - why does the background always appear MUCH clearer than the foreground? She went outside today - and then went to the store with us - she had a fabulous time! Still - the...

It's a stupid question - but I still want to ask it. I have seen MANY times on this forum, people will post something they think is SUPER cute, and other members will tell them it isn't normal at all - and some instances require a vet visit - and that's the only way to learn sometimes :) So...

I suppose this is general - it's not a health issue. Searched the boards and found health related issues - not mine! Saw a dragon today that looked SO VERY MUCH like Tiki (http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=153774 hello Horus!) - but had black nails. Tiki has clear...

As some of you may know, Tiki was a rescue, and slowly but surely, we've been getting some good, healthy weight on the little girl! Her legs shed less than a month ago, and now one just shed AGAIN. How often does the normal dragon shed? She's about a year and four to six months old at the...

... served my dragon soy yogurt covered crickets to help with the Panacur medication. Yogurt covered crickets........... My day can't possibly get any weirder.

This may not be "general" - up to the mods ;) My heat lamp for the Tikster has died. FEH. It irritates me greatly. It was TWO MONTHS OLD. And now it is dead. Which is probably a sign - I need a CHE anyway for winter so the infrared won't keep her awake. Is two months the normal life for...

And it is indeed a conundrum. Tiki had some Panacur for her pinworms. It was recommended that she have some soy yogurt. I tried carrot shreds and berries in it - nada. So then I dropped in, one at a time, waxworms. She devoured it. I'm also considering dumping some crickets into her normal...

I'm hoping this is the same behaviour. Tiki is currently doing this on her rock and her Jacuzzi. Her face is about ready to shed, and she's all kinds of itchy! She's just scratching herself and trying to make the shed happen faster.

Tiki just had her FIRST TWO superworms. There may have been eight total chews for each worm. She is between 16.5 and 16.75 inches (she REALLY wants to play right now). I'm just worried she may not have chewed enough - she inhaled them!!!!!!!! They freak me out on a MASSIVE level, so my sweet...

My dear Tiks is shedding her head! This (to me) seems to be one of the more annoying parts to shed. This morning she puffed up like a madwoman over and over. I've read elsewhere this simply helps to loosen the skin to ease the shed - correct? But she also puffed her whole body in the...

Afternoon all :) So I've been buying the Tikster greens - and they all seem to have white spots. Upon further research, I find out that a white spot in a leafy green is actually a fungus (ICK). I threw them out before the feeding. She's stayed on squash and carrots with a massive amount of...

Dragon Mama freaking out!!!!!!!!!! The doctor just called me and my sweet little baby dragon has PIN WORMS!!!! I think I need another beer. Where's the "Smilies" for beer? She acts perfectly healthy!!! She plays and runs like an Olympic sprinter - eats like a horse, snuggles, basks, etc...

I've read about some nice employees here. I'm glad your experience was better than mine. Hubby floats around to different Valvoline's (3 in town) - whichever one needs him. So he was on the other side of town today. Went to pick him up and there's a PETCO there - never been to one of those...
