    What if anything can/should be done ?

    Visited a Mom n Pop pet store which had close to 100/150 bearded dragons all over the place, numerous babies, juveniles, adults, and some pretty old ones. I don't think there was a single dragon that had not been disfigured by a loss of tail, claws, entire limbs, an eyeball, etc.... They...

    Spring Fever or Too Hot ???

    I preface this post with the caveat that I have only been a BD owner for the last 5-6 weeks. I've noticed several posts talking about their BD's health and/or activity (or lack of eating) with responses that noted maybe they were going through "Spring Fever".....the response seemed to get alot...

    can a zilla light cause a burn?

    Can't make it out clearly in your pics but can lizards with scales burn ? Seems to me you would of seen other signs of overheating before a "burn" manifested itself on the surface of the scales. What you may seeing is color pigmentation, you can read about "morphs" and related color...

    Adding pelleted food to greens

    Another thing I'm doing is gut loading Dubia roaches with the pellets, my guys supposedly ate pellets exclusively for 4 years but now won't touch 'em. I grind them up really fine and the roaches and/or crickets will eat them, then of course the BDs eat the roaches/crickets. I'm still hoping to...

    4 year old Beardies won't eat greens....

    What did I ask for help about.....feeding greens to my Dragons. I didn't realize this simple question required any sort of health report. But when told..... My response was to tell "Jen" what I had been doing...i.e....feeding crickets, roaches, superworms, assorted greens, assorted...

    4 year old Beardies won't eat greens....

    Well, thanks for the reply. My attitude has been that these guys have been not taken care of at all....I mean two adult BDs living together for 4 years without any UV light, pathetic heating as two 75w bulbs were being used in Lowes utility light fixtures hung 30" off the floor of the tank...

    4 year old Beardies won't eat greens....

    Hi Jen, thanks for the reply. I feed them insects once a day, in the evening.....sometimes 2-3 crickets having been dusted in Calcium, more often 6 or so Superworms sometimes dusted in Calcium. The boy Samson can't catch the crickets most of the time and gets disinterested, the girl Dahlila...

    4 year old Beardies won't eat greens....

    Howdy guys, have had my two kids for a few weeks now, I was told by previous owner they NEVER ate anything but those Repti-somethingorother pellets moistened with water. I seen them eat one the very first day and they have never touched those pellets since. We give them a salad - we've tried...

    The adventures of Samson and Delilah

    Not a whole lot to report....Delilah the female ate some cucumber from my hand, its the first "greens" I've actually seen either of them eat. ALthough I put their Superworms/Crickets in their feed bowls in an attempt to get them used to feeding with greens in their bowl....they have accidently...

    Dominant female

    Hi all, got a pair of 4 year old dragons recently, a male and female which were housed in the same tank since they were little. I've separated them after what I thought was a rather brisk fight drawing blood to the mouth of the female. Maybe this is the wrong forum but I figured folks breeding...

    The adventures of Samson and Delilah

    Hi Deb, Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, especially for such an informative one at that! :D Delilah is the girl shown on the bottom, I'm wanting to weigh them but I don't have a gram scale....I've got a postal ounce scale so I guess that will have to do for now. She is the one...

    The adventures of Samson and Delilah

    Thanks for the welcome, the suggestions, and the reply. I'm a wee bit confused, you're thinking the dragon (male Samson) photographed on top of the female Delilah, in the first picture is the one being dominated ? And you're thinking that its Samson with a misshapened mouth ? It would...

    The adventures of Samson and Delilah

    Howdy folks, Thought I would begin my foray into Beardom with an introduction of Samson and Delilah....please excuse the poor quality of a cell phone. Both beardies were aquired from a local hobbyist who was getting out of the hobby. I was told they are 4 years old and the previous owner...

    Metal Halide lighting

    Thanks again for the reply....I would be interested in reading anything about lighting, please feel free to PM me or post links if you find the time. I'm getting out - well I just sold my last tank earlier this week - of the saltwater hobby and have these MHs for sale when it occurred to me...

    Metal Halide lighting

    Thanks for the replies! One of the pictures show a dual T5 setup, those aren't the MH fixtures/bulbs I was inquiring about, but you're right they were super actinic and blue + bulbs. I would add I do have 10K bulbs and over time their Kelvin rating is supposedly reduced, the ones in the...
