Know this should be under health, but... Crixus laid eggs back in July... same behavior now, same patterns w/ everything.. eating, pooping, mood... w/ captive BD' s is it true any time of year is possible to be holding? She's rather plump which is a huge difference from last year this time...

Crixus just laid her 1st ever clutch last week, she's totally recuperated, but now I'm worried it's going to happen again right away (the cycle, not the eggs).... is there usually a set time of year or can this occur year round?? It took a lot out of her.. infertile, but a lot of work...

I went on vacation for a few days and came home to 13 eggs in Crixus viv... I had someone feeding her and they said there were originally 18... she has dried yolk on her mouth and feet, why would she eat them, do they have nutritional value at all??

I was wondering how many females vs males needed to start a small colony of dubia?? Is it 3:1 or.. Also-- Time frame until able to feed, do they grow rather quickly? How to create a consistent temp. in New England where seasons change and temps fluctuate frequently, are there ways to do this...

I'm a bit at a loss because after taking Crixus to the vet 2 weeks ago and providing her w a lay box she has stopped digging. Yesterday she was bloated with a belly that felt like a balloon, today she seems to have returned to her normal shape.. she's eating like normal but not active.. she's...

I know I should simply wait until the morning to call my vet, but after digging for 2 weeks Crixus woke up bloated today. I gave her a long soak and she did eat, but she's been out 3 times today and just laid on my shoulder or chest the entire time everytime when she'd usually hop down and go...

I believe my beardie is trying to lay an infertile clutch of eggs... she's been digging all morning and is now taking a break it seems, is this normal to take a short break in between digging? How many days should it take, is it on the first day or does it vary?? Asking because not only am I not...

Crixus will be 2 in October... I've kept beardies for a few years and never had this issue to this extent.... today she has been WILD!! An hour after lights on she was making a lot of noise in her viv, climbing like crazy and scratching. I let her out and she relaxed for an hour just looking out...

Crixus hasn't been outside since last October (in NH so 4 season weather) .. she was out last week without any problems, but today when taking her out she open mouthed puffed out with no hiss, but did let it be known she was not pleased. Is there an easy way to get the beardie used to the...

Just bought my replacement UVB on Amazon 10 minutes ago for $11.30 which included shipping... should've stocked up... they have some left, but don't wait too long.. they had the 18" & the 24" sizes... just thought I'd share this amazing deal for anyone that's been holding off because of the...

Crixus is 1 year next week and am wondering if any1 has had a beardie that young go into brumation..... also, is there another "form" of brumation that is less severe that doesn't completely knock out their appetites?? I'm asking because although I'm aware that they do slow down quite a bit on...

Not my 1st rodeo (but never had a healthy BD either), but wondering when your BD's reached 1 yr. of age if their eating slowed down.. it's been off and on as far as a huge appetite.. nothing odd or unusual so not worried about an underlying health issue, but Crixus has slowed down on live...

Crixus will be 1 year on 10/30.. he now poops less frequent which I expected as did my other beardie.. She is well hydrated w/ soaks given every other day and twice a day when she reaches the 5 day mark w/o a poop. For a couple months now it may be a week to 9 days w/ no action.. when it does...

Prob. nothing to worry over, but curious what the little lumps are on both sides of Crixus located where the elbow meets the body and a bit sideways basically on the sides of the tummy... they're the same sides and never change, what are they.. what organs are they??? I've studied pics of the...

not sure if this will is close enough or clear enough to tell, but I've always thought Crixus was a boy, but now that he?? is old enough I'm starting to doubt that a lot.. any opinions would be appreciated..

Pic of Crixus after his soak.. about fully grown @ this point.. http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd414/jacody11/IMG_2684_zps19407342.jpg

Crixus will be 11 months on 9/30 and he hasn't shed for some time, now I know this is normal as my female slowed down quite a bit w/ the shedding about the 8 mo. mark or so.. she seemed to be full grown by a year or possibly sooner.. I thought that they could keep growing until 1.5 years.. is...

Over the past few weeks I've noticed that each time I put Crixus back I have a 4" long area on my arm where it's against his back and is red and looks scratched up, but goes away after 30 minutes or less.. does anyone else run into this, is it just the scales aggravating my skin??

I know I may have asked this previously, but how often should a 10 month old be pooping?? I know Crixus is well hydrated, but since he's gotten older he's only pooping 2X/week.. is that indeed normal?? He only eats crickets and collards w/ a bit of squash.. TIA posters.. :P

Just a question about what certain parts are technically called on a beardie.. the indentations above the shoulders behind the head are epaulets (sp.)... what are the parts on both sides of the beard that look like chunky cheeks.. I know this may sound strange, but I've always wondered and...
