    Adult Male Bearded Dragon Stomach Volume

    I posted this ln my other thread but also thought to make its own thread. Does anybody have any idea what an approximate volume of an adult, male bearded dragon's stomach would be? I can't find anything online, and the vet actually didn't give me a specific amount for Kazoozle's tube feedings...

    The night before last I found Kaz awake at 11:30. Usually he sleeps soundly. He had his eyes open and a dark beard. He was very lowly contrasted and pale as well. The next day I found he was still pale and had a very dark tail. Additionally, he was darkly bearded off and on. I made an...

    Large enough hides for adults

    Recently I've started looking for a large hide for Kazoozles. At 19.5 inches and 480 grams, with a width of 3" and a standing height, if he squirms low, of about 2" it's been hard. I'm not using any wood or similar materials, so that knocks those out. I need something opaque. That knocks out a...

    Kaz - 2 years old - Blood in stool - No parasites

    Kaz is a two year old dunner leatherback. When I got him he was positive for coccidia and pinworms. Both were treated, and he was cleared. His stool began to become bloody several months later, so we rechecked it and had pinworms again. We treated again and began offering soft bodied feeders...

    URI -- Breathing Distress

    Faranth has a bad URI. She's seen a vet and was prescribed Baytril pending a return on her throat culture. She is in VERY bad breathing distress. Our emergency vet here that sees herps is useless. They couldn't do anything to help her sister. I'm looking for ANY suggestions on helping with...

    Bearded Dragon Related Gecko Question - Details Within.

    I have a bearded dragon who has been diagnosed with microvesicular steatitis, portal hypertension and hepatic edema. Her food needs are outside the normal for an adult bearded dragon (who usually take 20-30% of their nutrition from insects). The vet has told me to pull fat and protein (insects)...

    Microvesicular Steatosis, Portal Hypertension and Edema

    My bearded dragon, Odahviing, had a vet appointment yesterday. Her vet appointment wasn't horrible, but we did get some less than desirable news. The vet tapped her abdomen, the best way to look for fluid. He came back with 10 CCs of very bright, yellow fluid. The colour and amount are both...

    Oh god why, ew! Gross or Funny or Just WTF Feeder Stories

    Oh god... I learned something new. Dubia Roaches will live with their heads bitten off. This one did. She bit it off then refused to finish for the longest time. It lay their twitching! Also, guts squeezed out. Faranth lapped the big, huge ball of white and orange goo up joyfully.... Oh ew ew ew!!!

    Scaling A Starting Dubia Colony Correctly To My Needs

    Dubias aren't bad at all. They're sort of cute actually, and I like the tickly legs. Most importantly, my little guy LOVES THEM. He was being cricket fed alongside his silkworms, phoenix worms and occasional treat hornworms. He loves a chase and is very active, so the crickets were a part of his...

    Praziquantel vs Fenbendazole for Tapeworms w/

    I have a seemingly healthy 3.5 month old male dragon whose fecal float showed a small amount of pins but an EXTREMELY high amount of tapes. My question relates to the use of medication. Normally it seems there's a tendency to treat with Panacur (fenbendazole) in instances of parasites. However...

    "Problem" Corn Snake and a Husbandry Question

    I have a corn snake I have taken home. This poor, little guy had been at PetCo for at least six plus months (but less then a year -thank PetCo for the precise age information >.< -).

    Yarrow!!! HELP!! Safe to eat?

    Odahviing tucked in and had several mouth fulls before I stopped her. That is to say, a couple leaves. Yarrow is safe for humans, even used in brewing. But not on the beautiful dragons page. Why does my lizard keep eating weird stuff?!?

    Gas and Weird Poop/Bubble IN Poop

    Our Odahviing poops while swimming. Not normally a cause for concern except that she did this today. That bizarre, eyeball looking thing is a MASSIVE bubble of gas, and I'm not sure if I should be worried. That's it floating in the water. It looked like that on the paper towel after I fished...

    CATNIP?!!? HELP!

    Odahviing ate a big mouthful of fresh catnip I was hand shredding for the cats. I grow it in my garden. It was clean and grown pesticide free, 100% organic. She only just ate it and has not even began demonstrating any effects at all, bad or otherwise. I may be jumping the gun but could find...

    ReptiBreeze?

    I'm going to be driving to Michigan, something that I usually do yearly. I stay for two weeks, and the hubby goes home after one. Usually we leave a pet sitter the house key to watch the cats, she comes twice a day because two kitties take medication. No big deal. This is the first year we've...
