So over the past week my dragon is wanting to eat less and less and just wanting to lay still in the corners of his home. eyes open but just laying there like a lump. just over a month ago I used to put the cricket feeding bin up to his home and he ran out into it to eat. then slowly over the...

Hey my Orion is about 5-6 months old. Pretty healthy and has had a good appetite. recently he like to hide in his hiding spot a lot or in the back corner up top where he wont be getting much UV light or heat. Im a little worried he is not staying healthy because of this habit. here is a...

Hey, I noticed my Orion didnt poop at all yesterday at all which is odd because he usually goes daily in the mid morning. I just fed him in his feeding box and he let out a monster!! It had to be at least 5 poops in one!. was disgusting to pick up. Is this normal for a dragon to hold it in for...

So last night after his lights went out a tried to re-adjust his timer settings for orions heat and UV lamps. I moved the heat lamp so it was sitting ontop of the black melamine wood. I forgot to put it back on its metal holders. so I leave for work this morning before the lights came on and...

So I was at Michaels arts and crafts store and seen they had for 4 dollars a gel pack that can turn into 4 liters of water beads. good deal! but they are designed to moisture plants. it says it contains super absorbent polymers and water. this toxic to crix or roaches??? thanks

Hey just curious to why everyone here choose to own dragons or reptiles in general? whats the appeal to you? I choose to have one because I read they are very well tempered and easy to hold. Plus they are different. They are not a cat or dog. I have always been different so I thought a lizard...

So I found out today that my dragon Orion has enough guts to try and jump 5 and a half feet onto ceramic floor! I had him on my shoulder working in my kitchen and he jumped off onto the floor with a huge thud. then ran off. he seems fine though.. walking OK and everything. but wow what a thud. I...

Anyone else have a bd that walks in slow motion up its branch or something after downing a bunch of crix? just wondering if its still in hunting mode even though there is still some crickets walking around the bottom and my bd is heading up its basking branch??

Hey what do you think of instead of using tiles (which my little guy seemed to hate when I put it in because it got no traction on it) using the fake rock wall method of polystyrene, grout and mod podge with some sand thrown into the podge before it dries to give it that gritty feel. the sand...
