    RIP Dexter :-( (29/09/12)

    I guess this post will explain why I have been absent for so long.... I have copied and pasted this from my forum. It has taken me until now to pluck up the courage to come and tell you all. :(

    REALLY worried about Dexter... :-(

    Dexter has been acting weird over the last few days, with racing around his viv with a dark black beard, BITING ME! (*sob*) and puffing his beard out. Generally looking AND acting severely piffed off. The ONLY thing that has changed recently is that I have moved from being in my bedroom 24/7...

    Dexter's viv...

    As you all know, Dexter is currently living in a 3ft x 2ft x 2ft viv... WHEN the council finally come and fit my starlift, I will be spending a lot of time downstairs, instead of living in my bedroom 24/7.... Simon has suggested that I will probably want Dexter downstairs, where I can see...

    A change for Dexter....

    After reading Gail's rather derogatory comment about "spoiling and hand-feeding fat stuffed dragons"... I felt very upset and guilty as Dexter had developed a VERY lazy attitude towards eating his bugs. If it wasn't within immediate reach, he would literally look up at me and sit there waiting...

    need help/advice/input on Dexter's bug schedule

    Hi guys, I'm totally open to suggestions on this, because I'm at a total loss... At first we were feeding Dexter 10 Med/lrg locusts a day alongside his daily bowl of veg. We realised that Dexter's live/veg ratio was about 70:30. As he's guesstimated to be 3 years old, I know it should be...

    bit worried about Dexter :-(

    Hi all, Simon and I discussed Dexter's diet, I felt that he was eating too many locusts compared to his fresh produce. Because of this, I was worried about the longterm effects on his organs due to the high level of protein intake. I don't know if he was listening, but after our conversation...

    Dexter - bit of blood between urate and poop...

    Dexter NORMALLY poops like clockwork, between 08:00 and 09:00.  There is always a poop to clean up by 09:00. Yesterday he didn't poop by 09:00.  He pooped after 16:30, after we fed him his locusts. In between the urate and the poop was about 1.25ml of blood. :( His eating habits have either...

    website suggestion.....

    :?: :idea: I had a look at about 70 of the photos that have been submitted to the website... I fell asleep after that, I don't think I'll EVER get through them all. :lol: The intro to the photos is as follows: I seriously think, from some of the photos that I have seen, from a shocking...

    question about Dexter's "description"

    I've just found out what translucent means, (thanks for that!) But i'm intrigued to know what the rest means... According to my friend, he's a "translucent, citrus, micro-scaled leatherback, (poss. Het hypo.) Obviously I know poss means possible, but what does het hypo mean, what does citrus...

    Dexter's "lumpy finger"

    Dexter has one finger on his left hand, the longest one, where it has a couple of lumps. I am wondering whether it was a dodgy past shed, damaged from a fall, a growth, (or two) or something to worry about? It doesn't bother him remotely when I gently touch the lumps, so I'm guessing it's just...

    moderator input...

    Hi guys, I'm sorry for posting here, until I know who the mods are, I cannot pm them direct. I have replied to a thread on the forum, what I have said is highly important and necessary, however, with being poorly, I don't know if the WAY I have said it, is polite enough, or comes across in the...

    stress marks on bearded dragons....

    I am now REALLY confused and would love it, if someone could enlighten me, or at least TRY to get it into my thick head! :lol: Here is a photo that Jason posted about the other beardie in that most dreadful shop, where LG came from? Kirby's reply: My confusion: IS THE ENTIRE PATTERN ON...

    Eyes shutting all the time?

    Dexter has been a part of my life, and my family for 23 days now. (I can't believe I've had him over three Weeks! :) ) Since Simon put Dexter's brand spanking new T5 tube & reflector in... I have noticed a change in Dexter's behaviour. Prior to this tube, I would sit and cuddle him, and think...

    the "All about Dexter!" Thread - (adopted 15/12/2011)

    From now on this will be Dexter's thread, of updates, photos, weigh-ins etc. I figured I would keep it all together, should anyone need to know Dexter's history, I won't have to go trawling through various posts of him, to get a timeline. Though I have created a file on polaris office (android...

    a bed for Dexter?

    Hi guys, Question for you all.... Dexter has made it obvious that he likes snuggling up to me, he's started burying his head between my fat neck, and my cardigan, which means most of his face is covered. I put him to bed on his blanky at 8:30pm tonight, and when I checked on him just, he had...

    "Other Pets" Section?

    I know that you are primarily about Dragons, and that you have provided places for other reptiles to go... but what about furries (cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, chinchillas, mice, rats, degus, gerbils, guinea pigs etc. etc..) or OTHER PETS, which could cover tarantulas, insects, aquarium life...

    Chicken babyfood/catfood to replace live food?

    My Fiance feeds his blue tongue skink pure cooked chickenbreast (fit for human consumption) either as the sheba cat food, or he literally buys cooked chicken breast from the deli counter at Tesco.... apparently according to the BTS forums he frequents - this is ample "meatstuff" for his beardie...

    Just a quick question...

    Can someone let me know how to create a blog in Dexter's name? When I go to create a new blog post, I created it, and it stored the whole blog as My Pets... I wanted to be able to call the whole blog "Dexter's Den" or something similar, but cannot see where to create a category of that name...

    ceramic heat bulb VS halogen spot bulb

    Hi guys, Let's disregard for a moment that my UV set up is total pants. (T5 set up = 12% D3+ tube & Arcadia electronic starter, to arrive and be fitted tomorrow! Woo! Hoo!) _________________________ On the reptile forum there has been a debate between ceramic bulbs and spot-type bulbs...
