    Poor Copper

    My oldest, Copper, will be 2 this August. He is sweet and lovable, and quite the ladies man, lol with 4 females what's he got to lose! However, this is starting to take a toll on the poor guy. He tries to mate with practically everything...from my son's slipper, my mitten (as this started...

    An Interesting Occurrence

    Today after returning from work, Copper, my 18 month old male, was glass dancing. As usual, I let him out, to run the house, as he does virtually every day. All of a sudden, one of my boys tells me that he's grabbed my glove (it was actually my mitten). At first I didn't think anything of it...

    Cohabitat Living Question

    I recently was given 3 babies (maybe a few weeks old). They came with a 10 gal, a Zoo Med Dual Light Fixture with a day light and Reptisun 5.0. Temps and all are okay, they are eating dubias and crickets, though they seem to prefer the dubias. One's appetite practically insatiable, one's ok...

    I couldn't do it...now we are 7

    Well, I got a call from a friend who owns a pet store locally, and she knew us too well. A woman came in, her son has 2 adult dragons, who mated...laid eggs. Though she was able to relocate the others, she had 3 from the clutch, that she just could no longer care for. She brought in the 3...

    Has he gone crazy?

    So, recently, Copper has had these moments (sometimes all day) of hyperactivity. He runs around his tank jumping from his basking spot to his shelf for the UV basking. He'll climb his walls seemingly to get closer to his heat light, or stands on his hind legs reaching up to his UV light...

    I don't know what to make of it...

    Ruby, my red beauty is not acting like her usually self. She has pooped frequently, however, when she goes, its super soft, almost liquid, urates, and small poop (usually not more than an inch). Today however, her poop stank the entire room, and she did not want to leave her tank. She looks...

    Okay, so I've had our colony for about 3 weeks. We've witnessed some mating during food and water changes. Yay! :blob5: But after we cleaned the bin last week, we noticed that one had molted and looked strange. Upon cleaning the bin tonight, we noticed that it had not changed at all...

    Cleaner Crew issues

    I recently ordered, and received, the "Cleaning Crews" for my dubia colony. When I opened the containers, I had 10 mealworms in a bunch of debris...no larvae, beetles, just mealworms! I was advised by the company to wait 2weeks for movement that what I got must contain eggs. It's clearly...

    Our Little Happy Lair! Featuring Copper, Onyx, and Ruby!

    It's amazing what almost 4 months can make. That's when my love got me Copper, September 5, 2011. He has 4 other sub-adult beardies who currently reside at his ex's home. Copper was the ideal pet, and we have had no problems with him from the start. His vivacious & mischievous attitude...

    Rescued Onyx, but now he's so lethargic

    I rescued Onyx this past Friday, from a pet store. The girl that helped us, well she was less than informed about beardies; we'll just say...Anyway, we brought him to his new home, a mansion to what he was in. His new home is a 20 gal tank, newspaper substrate, a tunnel, and a perch. We have...
