    Jazzy - Super Citrus Leatherback Update

    I haven't posted much about Jazzy since I got him about 7 months ago. Here's the old thread http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=165607 I can't believe, looking back, at how much he's grown. Last I measured him he was at about 16 inches. He just turned a year old on Sept...

    Major problems with 9yr old BD

    There have been some serious concerns with our 9yr old bearded dragon today. He has been panting and taking heavy deep breaths...hadn't pooped for a few days either. At one point he kept his back end still and started flailing his front end around somewhat violently...smacking into the glass...

    Does Brighter Colors = Happier Dragon?

    Just curious if there is any relation to the colors of my beardie and whether he is happy/comfortable. He is a Super Citrus Leatherback (still a juvie at 7 months). When he eats, he gets a much brighter color...especially when eating his Dubias. I did notice that certain things make him go...

    BD poop stains rock structure

    I made my whole rock enclosure and all of that for my viv, put about 4-5 coats of mod podge over every area and let it dry for a good week. My BD pooped on the rock structure for the first time today. It stained it really, really bad. It now looks bad and this is only one time. What did I do...

    My new 4x2x2 Birch/Pine Viv + Custom Rock Structures

    I just wanted to share my new vivarium setup with everybody. It is a 4x2x2 and it took me a solid month to build the enclosure, stain it, trim it, build and paint the rock structures, mod podge everything, etc.... I didn't realize how much work it was.....but it was so worth it with such a...

    Cage Cleaning

    I had a thought today about how I clean the floor of my lizards cage. I have always just used a clorox disinfecting wipe to clean it out followed by a wipe of a paper towel to "dry". Is this an okay way to do it? Should I be using a bleach mixture instead? This is for the daily cleanings of...

    Sealed Wood Floor for Enclosure??

    I am building a 4x2x2 Birch Plywood Enclosure. I have stained the inside and out and polyurethaned it in and out (a 2-in-1 stain and poly). I am going to seal the inside with mod podge to kill any lingering fumes or toxins. This got me to thinking. Can I just put 2-3 coats of Mod Podge on...

    Polystyrene MESSY!!

    I am working on some sculptures for my new 4x2x2 viv that I'm building and the polystyrene is ridiculously messy. I go out and work for a bit and come back in with little white pebble pieces static clung all over me....end up tracking all over the house. I think my wife might make me sleep in...

    A cheaper live feeder?

    My juvie beardie is about to eat his way through my wallet. I can get 500 5/8" Dubois for around $40 but that only lasts him about 2 weeks. $80 a month is a lot more than I expected to spend. Is there anything I can do? A cheaper food maybe? He is only 11inches so no supers.

    Colors have changed in the past 2 days

    Hi. I am a little concerned about my new Beardie. He is about 5 months old and smallish for the age at 11" from tip of nose to tip of tail. About 1 1/2" Body width. When I got him last week he was really bright colors...yellow with bright orangish patterns on his back. Yesterday and today...

    This cabinet to make a Viv out of???

    Would like to get some thoughts. I am thinking of purchasing this TV stand (link below) to convert into a viv for my beardie. At $74.00 shipped, it isn't much more than if I was to build my own 4x2x2 and this one looks nicer than the one I could probably make. Dimensions: 43.465"W x 24.094"D...

    Meet Jazzy - My Super Citrus Leatherback

    This is Jazzy. I just got him off a member on here and he arrived just recently. I thought I would make a thread and just keep adding pictures while he grows. He is right around 5 months old right now and has one of the coolest personalities of any of my past beardies. I came up with his...

    Kale as a Staple

    I see mentioned on here that Kale is not good as a staple and have a question. What is better.....Kale as a Staple, or no greens. I have been struggling to get my dragon to eat his veggies. This morning I tried a salad with Kale topped with Raisens. He munched on it for quite a few...

    Do Beardie's get picky with age?

    Just curious if people notice their beardies get pickier with age in regards to their food. Mine is about 8 years old and I have noticed he's not nearly as active as he used to be...some days he's more active than others. More than that, he seems to be getting pickier with age. I had problems...

    Male or Female (pictures)

    For some reason I thought this was a female when I first checked her. Vet says a male (and he based this on the size of the little nubbin's on the underside of the back legs...not on the lumps at the base of the tail). Anyway, after re-looking at it I am inclined to agree with the male...

    Different Types/Colors of Bearded Dragons

    Is there a guide or something anywhere that explains (with pictures) the different colors of bearded dragons that you all refer to here on the forums? I would really like to see what some of these look like as babies and adults (more as adults) so I can more easily decide which type and color I...

    Bearded illness contagious to humans?

    I have been wondering... are there any things that a bearded can carry that are contagious to humans besides the possible solmonella. The different parasites and other stuff? It will be a couple weeks before I get her to her vet appointment and worry a bit about myself, and even more, about my...

    Won't eat Veggies but loves Superworms

    I am hoping somebody can help me here. My Beardie (19" adult) will not eat her veggies. I have only had her a few days but anytime I put in her veggies she isn't interested. I am giving her a mix of collard greens, mustard greens, and turnip greens. She will sit there and star at them for...

    Crawla and her Viv

    I had this in my intro post but thought better suited to here so I'm moving it. Her name was crawl when my dad had her (thought she was a boy). We are calling her "Crawla" for now, but I am going to let my 5th graders pick her name the first two days of school. She really likes to sit on...
