just had to stop in and check on Basil the debonair dragon! He is looking really great!!!

Norris spent his birthday lounging and looking regal (except when he was stuffing his face!) Today, however, he is curled up under his log having a day off. I don't know if it was the fireworks or the fact that it is 106F and raining outside!!! In Vegas...so much for dry heat!? Completely...

Today is Norris' two year 'birthday' with us. Hard to believe so much time has gone by! I took pictures of his birthday salad and his new toys. Yes, I know...no pictures yet. I can't find the camera cords!?! Tomorrow I'm going to see if I can find one that works at Radio Shack.

still waiting to upload some new pictures. Norris is doing great. He did a weird thing a few weeks back that made me think he had a respiratory infection but no! Thank goodness! He is still a healthy lazy dragon. (unless he thinks there might be bugs about...then he is suddenly fierce!) Just a...

Daner, thank you for responding. I might not have been as clear as I should. He didn't have a bath yesterday. I was going to give him one (because I give him frequent baths when he is shedding) but I didn't since if it was a URI the extra water might not be the best. So I don't think he...

Congrats on your prize and Happy Birthday (early) to your son. All the information I'm about to give you has been repeated on these boards all over. I say that because I don't consider myself an expert and I want you to know where I'm getting my info. :D Baby dragons eat mostly protein...

we just added in another bulb to raise the heat a bit...since that seems to be a stand by for sick dragons. (If he is sick) Moved the temp probe to get a slightly different temp and Norris has moved up to it and is licking it like crazy!! He is so silly. Has anyone heard of any reason for a...

Your Boo boy has a wonderful smile! I hope he is all better soon.

Today I went to give Norris his dubia treats and when he opened his mouth to grab up a dubia, a bunch of liquid came out. It was completely clear, no white or any other color mucus, no blood, no bits of food. He didn't seem troubled by it and snapped up his dubia. He is shedding right now...

Hi! All is well over here. I have new photos that are just sitting on the camera and I have a few days off so hopefully I can get some of them uploaded. Norris is doing very well but his chin is completely stained. No amount of bathing is going to get this off. I think he heard that a...

When Norris gets his buggies they come in a white container. He has to be forgiven for being interested in anything that is white! (as is my camera) I'm still working out how to get the video edited. I'm glad he made you giggle. He has me laughing all the time! :D

Norris at about six months of age. (taken Jan '12) His lips are getting ready to shed. Doing the sexy leg with a toe point!

We are lucky in more than just that. We are lucky we found this site the same week we brought him home. Although I asked repeatedly if we had everything we needed for his good health, we weren't told about a UVB bulb...infact, we were given a lot of unhelpful information. I had a job where I...

Just a quick update: I've been wondering when he was going to plump up a bit. Big weight gain since December! Norris is now at 595grams! Not to shabby for a guy who started out a runt! Sorry for the lack of photos. I need to post a video of him attacking his food so you can see how that...

yup, if he is comfortable with you handling him and not too stressed out, take him out and keep giving him a warm bath soak. He will possibly drink water from the bath, and assuredly will be getting some water from his vent. Absolutely keep giving him greens. It will help him transition...

by the way, you can always take in a poo sample to your vet and have them do a test to see if your dragon has parasites or any other problems. It is cheaper and less stressful for your pet to just take in the poop and most vets don't mind if you drop it off. Just call first before showing up...

Sometimes beardies freeze when they are faced with new things. This makes them much easier to handle. You may already know this but you can tell when your dragon is upset because his belly will look grey with sort of leopard rings on it. These are called stress marks. He will probably have...

Hi there. My male still grew another half inch of length after he was over a year old. I figure at a year and a half you can finally call them full length. 22" is where he finally stopped. My boy started off very slowly. He almost died and didn't thrive until he was almost six months. So...

Norris got hugs all around. He is sacked out on top of his log. For some reason he never "goes to bed" like some beardies do. He usually sleeps in his basking spot. His face is so messy right now. In addition to his regular greens, he gets a salad topper. It is normally squash but I picked...

I don't mind giving Norris baths but cleaning poop off the back wall of his viv is a bit more annoying :evil: Norris is back to patch shedding. His belly and leg, this time. He's been shedding a lot lately. Time to weigh again!
