I'm pet sitting for someone with 2 bearded dragons, and I noticed her girl stands strangely on both front feet. At first I only saw one and assumed her crazy kids had accidentally broken it, but both being strange might have a cause. I tried straightening one to see if she could, but it seems...

My beardie, Soul Patch, has been acting wonky lately. I can understand if he's going through brumation, but I just want to make sure that's it. He sleeps a lot more - if I don't pull him out of his hide, he'll stay there forever. If I wake him, he's lazy but himself. When he is out...

Sorry if this isn't an ER post, but for me it seemed appropriate... So I woke up this morning to find my beardie Soul Patch had gone to the bathroom and it was somewhat filled with blood. Red, liquidy, reddish urate even. (excuse the old greens, unfortunately finals week kicked my a**)...

So my beardie, Soul Patch, has been acting a little wonky and I want to get a second opinion that nothing's wrong. It has gotten a little chillier here, so I'm assuming he's considering brumation. A couple strange things though - less interest in greens, less activity in cage (but when I take...

So I noticed the other night that my tiny dragon, Chaplin, has lost two nails on his front foot. They don't seem to be bothering him, and a new nail looks like it's growing out. My theory is there was damage to the nails before I got him and the damage has just grown out. I'm soaking it in a...

So I rescued Chaplin on August 6, 2014. At that time, he was 12" long and about 60 grams. He looked dirty and muted, but eyes were bright and soon he was alert and running after bugs. As of October 6, 2014, he weighs 130 grams, just finished a shed to reveal a GORGEOUS yellow/orange morph, and...

So my tiny one just excreted this mess today. When I first got him, he had perfect movements, though theyve started to get a little more watery. This one, however, is just totally weird. He regularly goes every day or so. Food is an escarole/endive mix (everyday) and about 5x/week, 10 small...

I just picked these guys up from a CL post and I wanted to make sure I'm doing what I can for them. Genders are guesses, somewhat biased on personality and appearance. Can't tell very easily due to low body weight. Both will be getting calcium coated dubia roaches every other day...

I've come to the realization that my dragon is most likely blind. I'm aware of the baby food/syringe option, but am curious about proteins and such. Any suggestions? He doesn't react to crickets, even held right in front of his face, but he does understand how to get meal worms. I just bought...

I'm concerned that Soul Patch may be blind. I first thought this when I realized he reacts to sounds, but not movement. Upon further testing, I've found his pupils don't react to light, and he doesn't seem to realize I'm going to touch his eye until I already have. Is there any other way to test...

On Friday, June ??, I took my beloved monster out of the tank. Little did I know, he had succumbed to a rare virus that had laid dormant for years. As soon as I took him out, I knew something was wrong. A few frantic calls to local vets (my usual was on maternity leave) and we were off...

On Sunday, I adopted this guy from a woman on Craigslist, and I'm just in love. He's still giving me the stink eye, but he's starting to warm up to me. When we got home Sunday, we spent some time outside (on a leash) enjoying some real UV rays, and Monday he came to work with me and explored my...

I just adopted this guy, Soul Patch, on Sunday. After closer examination, it seems to me he has/had MBD, and I'm a little concerned about his tail. He'll be going to the vet soon, but unfortunately the only exotics vet in an hour's drive is only here once a week or so. So, until then, I want to...

Heya, MK5683 and myself have recently adopted a bearded dragon. We picked him up last weekend, and, with a few bumps along the road, he now looks to be doing very well! Stats Age: 2 years Length: 15" Weight: 233.38g Diet: Calcium and vitamin dusted crix (soon to be switching to phoenix worms)...

I literally just got this beardie home an hour ago. I've been hanging with him in the bathroom while my roommate cleaned out his cage. We bought him off someone on craigslist, which I know is not the best place, but we figured we'd take better care of him for sure. The previous owner only fed...
