My Ziggy is having his first brumation. He is 19 months old and 23.5 inches from snout to tail tip. He has nice fat pads on his head and tail base, etc. He's been asleep five days now. I have his lights off and his enclosure mostly covered with a blanket (I left about 2 inches open on the...

I hardly ever wear nail polish but yesterday for fun painted my finger and toe nails purple. I didn't give it much thought today though while hand feeding Ziggy his collard greens (he's just now 6 months old and 18 1/4 inches long from snout to tail tip). I have to entice him to eat his...

I'm just wondering if this is a difference between girl and guy beardies or just each beardie having their own habits and quirks. Have you all noticed gals going in one location and guys going where ever they happen to be standing when the need arises? My sample size is small considering I've...

We took Ziggy (7/14/2012 approx dob) with us for Labor Day weekend at the beach. We have a small 20 gal set up for our in-laws leased beach house that stays there. It has a basking rock, wood hide, reptile carpet and heat lamp. No UVB. The temps were also a little low at 98 degrees on the...

I'm wondering what oxalates in food are and how they affect calcium absorption or hydration of reptiles? I've noticed in the food charts that some foods are listed as occasional foods due to having high oxalates, so I'd like more info about it. Thanks. :)

I bought this for reptiworms. :) Is 55 degrees the ideal temp? Our little Ziggy is adoring the worms and is up to around 25 a day (at 5-6 weeks old). We don't really like wine, so I've put bottled water and sparkling water in the extra shelves. It's a six bottle cooler and super quiet and...

I've heard about this discount, but can't find it anywhere. Is it still valid? If so, what's the coupon code so I can start using it? I just purchased a wine fridge so I can start buying them in bulk to feed our new addition. Thanks.

He/she is named Ziggy for his/her zig-zag back pattern. I am still grieving for my beloved Dreganna who sadly passed after having trouble digesting superworms and a bad reaction to the enema that her Vet performed. :cry: :cry: :cry: She was just at 1 year old and I had trouble with her...

I took Dreganna to the Vet yesterday where she was given an enema which caused her to promptly poop. There was a urate plug and some undigested food in it. There were not any parasites but the Vet said to give her meds for inflamation of her intestines and used the term protozoal. She's 201...

We went on vacation last month and took all of our dragon's enclosure gear to the vet and had to leave her for a week at $12 a day. After returning home, Dreganna wouldn't bask and wouldn't eat for a week. She then started finally eating again but not enthusiastically so I bought her...

I'm wondering if this is Dreganna's natural yellow color coming to life or the start of yellow fungus. She's predominately been red and brown so far without any yellow. She's in the process of shedding currently.

How long does it take to work? I had to leave Dreganna at the Vet for 8 days while we were on vacation. I left detailed instructions which they seemed to follow for the most part except for baths. They didn't give her a bath at all from what I can tell. I usually do baths every other day for...

At 10 months old, she isn't old enough to be scratching due to needing to lay a clutch of eggs, right? I asked earlier on here and was told they needed to be at least 18 months old but usually closer to 2 years old for eggs. It's rather comical to watch, she's been scratching like this a few...

So, Dregan is 10 months old now and I switched from carpet to sand colored slate tile a few days ago in the enclosure. We thought we had a boy based on what the vet said months ago (at 5 mo old) but we're pretty sure now based on the pictures that he's a she. I guess we'll just lengthen her...

I've tried the search function on this site but I can't find the link. I want a beige/sand colored hammock for Dregan but all I can find are green ones. I know I ran across a link on here once for someone who hand made pillows, blankets and hammocks for bearded dragons. Could someone please...

I put carpet under his log hide. Which other fabrics would be an ok choice? He sleeps in the hide at night so I'd like him to be comfy and not get his scales caught. In the pic he was black bearding because I had just placed him back in to his 'changed' viv. He's just chilling and looking...

Dregan is now 9mo and when he was at the vet he wasn't quite six months old. The vet said he was "pretty sure" on a boy. Here's a pic. I'm really hoping Dregan remains a boy since I'm not looking forward to lay boxes and unfertilized eggs if he becomes a she. Thanks for looking and all...

Dregan never gapes in his enclosure and usually basks where it is 105-106 though his basking area ranges from 102 on the rock to 110 at the highest part of his branch. He's still a juvenile at 9 mo. Anyway, my question is why does he keep gaping when we go outside in the heat? We live in...

We've recently been given access to a vacation home to use whenever we wish. It's a 2.5 hour drive from our home and we'd like to go once a month for 3 or 4 day long weekends. That doesn't mesh so well with feeding Dregan his greens / feeders daily. We'd like to bring him along and have a 2nd...

I didn't think beardies were supposed to be able to learn cause and effect type activities. For the past few weeks though I've refused to give my 7mo old dragon, Dregan, his morning worms until after he's eaten some of his salad. I'd just pick him up and place him by his food plate if I...
