-When you have a serious discussion with your SO about the necessity, feasibility, and budget of starting up a breeding colony of dubias or superworms or both. -When your coworkers know your dragon's poop schedule better than their own. -When you're upset because your SO/roommate made...

As of now, some terrible looking cardboard has been doing the job. BUT I have my spring break coming up soon! AND my dad is coming to visit. I think those two things together could make some tank topper magic happen! I'll post once we have something to show. Thanks for replying! It helps to...

Hello all, I wanted to get some advice and thoughts on an idea I had for my enclosure. We just got a kitten and have noticed that she enjoys being up high. This, unfortunately, includes on top of the beardie tank. Not good. This is obviously dangerous to both the kitten (very hot lamps) and my...

Thanks for the info! I'm just trying to do right by my girl. The past few months have been difficult because of a drawn-out move. I had to give my fiancé specific items to buy to feed her, rather than the usually shopping I do, as I was not there yet. Thus, she got a bit of a monoculture of...

I do not at all remember how I heard about beardies. The only thing I can remember was wanting a lizard and my mom and step-dad telling me I had to do research on it and present my findings to them. So I worked on it for MONTHS! Came up with an excellent presentation with a powerpoint...

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! I always wondered what the notes Isis's breeder sent with her meant! 100% Het-Hypo Red Leather x White Hypo (Yellow Leather x 100% Leucistic) Sounds like she would make some cool looking babies if I ever bread her! Not that I ever plan to. :)

One of my favorite things to do when choosing what to buy from the grocery store, to feed my darling Isis, is to try and match it up with what I, or my fiancé, are going to eat. This has become quite the challenge recently. Even though I follow the Beautiful Dragons website religiously, I seem...

Haha! Yes, Isis does that too! She'll go nuts right before pooping. It's almost like she's gotta get things moving for it to come out. I have also heard of my friends dog doing that. He was super old, but right before pooping he'd take of like a shot!

Hello! I have a lovely healthy 2 year old girl who has been going absolutely bonkers for the past week. I was looking into her behavior and, because she had a high calcium level a little over a month ago, I am worried she might have some infertile eggs she needs to expel. We got a dig box set...

Thanks so much! I really appreciated the advice and warning! Will probably just waste the last 2 worms and get my girl some new properly gut loaded ones this time. Thanks again!

Ok, thanks. I have removed the food. They mainly went after the little cheery tomatoes and not the stem. (and from what I read the tomatoes will not be harmful in small doses) Unfortunately November in Michigan is a terrible time to gather mulberry leaves. Any other advice on what I should do...

Hello! Had a quick question about tomato horn worms. I got 4 the other day and wanted to keep them alive for a while. I figured the logical thing to do would be to feed them tomatoes. However when perusing the Beautiful Dragons nutrition chart (for fruit that is ok to feed my girl, Isis) I saw...

Isis went down the week of Thanksgiving (much to the horror of my boyfriend, who was watching her for me) but she's awake now. :blob5: Still waiting for that first poo. I was super excited that she ate some green food; its been over 3 moths since she last did that! I've decided that first year...

The smoke is natural. We use pine wood and needles (from our property) and some times paper as kindeling. And it doesn't quite disable the pheromone, it more tricks them into thinking that there is a forest fire and that they need to hunker down in the hive. Trust me, when one of them stings...

Hello all! I have a question regarding the nature of feeder wax worms and how they are usually bred and obtained. I have a second question, as well. I am a bee keeper and while getting rid of a collapsed hive I noticed a very strong population of waxworms wriggling in the comb. We keep ours...

I did the syringe at the back of the mouth method. Osiris could'nt stand it but there was really no other way for me. So I cradeled him against my chest for extra support for both of us. It also provided me more control over his movement. It took a lot of time at first, but I found putting the...

Wow. I had No idea. Thank for letting me know though.

Is there an SPCA in your area? You could report animal abuse to them or an animal control service.

Im so sorry. Both for the difficult decisions surrounding your daughter's decision and for his pain. we reciently had to go through something similar with both our dogs. One dog my mom strung along for 6 months before finally being able to put him out of his misery, but because of this she was...

Thanks everyone! That makes me feel much better :) And bdalton, I will attempt to get pictures up later today!
