    Obi-Wan

    I have some bad news all. My little baby beardie died while I was work today. I came home, and saw that he was in one of the corners of the cool side of his tank. I picked him up, and unfortunately he would not open his eyes or breath. I am so sad right now. Thank you all for the advise that you...

    Swelling at the joints.

    The vet said it was pseudogout, so I was hopeful that he would be able to recover from it. Unfortunately, he will not eat any of the greens I have offered to him including: strawberries, blueberries, kale, and collard greens. He will only eat Phoenix worms and some dubia roaches I have; which...

    Swelling at the joints.

    He did an x-ray, and he said he could tell that it was pseudogout and not gout as the swelling was inside the joints and not around the joints. I would say that he looks to be 2 and half months old. The vet did do an x-ray, but he said that he would not recommend doing a bloodtest or aspirate...

    Swelling at the joints.

    Well, it seems that the swelling has reduced a bit since yesterday as it seems that it maybe linked to some dehydration issues. I'm hoping that I caught it early enough that it will not become permanent, and that it goes away entirely. I actually should have mentioned that he actually said it...

    Swelling at the joints.

    So I took Obi-Wan today to the vet. I have some good news and some bad news. While he doesn't have MBD, he does have a pretty several case of gout. I'm not sure what I can do. I have never seen eat any veggies even if I try to hand feed him. Now he will eat only one little worm, and then ignores...

    Swelling at the joints.

    Well, it seems that the soak made him a little happier. I could tell that he had really brightened up, and almost all of his stress marks had really faded after I had pulled from the soak.

    Swelling at the joints.

    I talked to the Exotic vet close to me, and they said that it should be safe me to wait until tomorrow to have him looked at as they had no more appointments for today. Here they are: http://www.seavs.com/ The lady I talked to said that giving him a good soak might help. So am I doing that now...

    Swelling at the joints.

    I did see that two weeks ago that his head started to shed, and then it seems to have stopped. The rest of his body didn't shed at all. He is about 7".

    Swelling at the joints.

    I have had him for a month now, and I got from a PetSmart. Does he move around much? He really doesn't move around much. But I have been giving him Phoenix worms twice a day, with 2 or 3 Dubias. He goes nuts and runs after them. From what I can see, he has been doing regular poops daily...

    Swelling at the joints.

    Can you see if holding down CTRL on your keyboard and then using the mousewheel to expand the page? That should work. The swelling is in each limb.

    Swelling at the joints.

    Hi All, I am really concerned with my beardie. Just today it seems that he is not really wanting to eat, and only had two small Phoenix worms in the morning and only one right now. He also has some swelling in his joints. Is this normal for shedding or something else? I included a photo of the...

    Obi-Wan's Thread

    Reptisun 10.0. Got both the fixture and the bulb from Big Apple Herp too. I have it attached with long strip of 3m double sided tape. I kinda wish I hadn't used something so permanent as it is really stuck to the tank.

    Obi-Wan's Thread

    Hi all, I have had Obi-Wan for about two and half weeks so I thought it would be a good time to post a thread for him. I got a few pics of him with my cellphone's crappy camera. Let know if you see anything in the pics that I could change to make him any happier. Edit: I forgot to mention that...

    Hi from Obi-Wan and Carver Bain.

    Yeah, he has been pretty lazy since I brought him home. I have a lower heat night bulb that I have on him right now, and he is sleeping on his basking cave. He did eat two crickets earlier so I think that's a good sign.

    Hi from Obi-Wan and Carver Bain.

    Hi all, I wanted to introduce myself, and brand new beardie: Obi-Wan. I've been a lurker on the forums for a couple of weeks now, and I was trying to decide between a ball python and BD. I'm really glad I chose a Beardie. A little about myself: I'm a 29 year old dude from West Virginia living in...
