Hey everyone, I got a call from my exotic vet that just got results back for Sheldon's blood work. Sheldon is 6 years old and like everyone else's beardie, he's my baby. He has a reptisun 10.0 uvb fluourescent bulb and a halogen 90 watt heat light about 8 inches above basking spot. (He likes his...

I got a new beardie about 2 months ago from the pet store. He was free because his back foot was bitten off by a cage mate. I didn't want the beardie to go to the wrong people because all they heard was "free" so I took him. Being that I have owned my other two for 5 years now, I thought it...

I took Sheldon to the vet yesterday because he has been puffing his beard in and out and making a hissing and clicking noise constantly. I know what's normal for him after 5 years of owning him, and this is not normal. The vet said he was definitely struggling and gasping. So they kept him in...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Gizmo and Sheldon! Gizmo is the biggest one, Sheldon is the smaller one with the stubby tail ;) Enjoy! Beardie present anyone? I looked all over for Sheldon...and where do I find him? Sleeping in the Christmas tree!

I have been bathing my boys in a big storage container that fits in the bathtub. It cracked, and I need to throw it away now. I am wondering if it is safe if I just bathe them in the bathtub instead of buying another container? I always see others doing it but when I filled up the tub I could...

I was carrying Sheldon around on my shoulder when I heard him making sniffling sounds. He seems to be breathing heavier than normal, pushing air in and out of his beard. His right nostril seems to be swollen shut. He can open the flap slowly to breathe but then it shuts and blocks the whole...

I got this gel mix that you can cut into chunks sort of like the Naturezone Bearded dragon bites at the pet store (which my boys LOVE as an occasional meal replacement). Supposedly this mix is healthier..I was just wondering if any of you have tried it or heard anything? I just got it for mixing...

I was thinking of another strategy to get my boys to eat their greens by adding flowers. I know that Nasturtiums and Hibiscus are okay to eat, but what about any others? I found a "edible flowers" pack at Byerlys the other day, and wasn't sure if it is safe for them to eat. Here is a list of...

I have two boys. Sheldon will maybe take a bite of greens, then leave the rest. Gizmo looks at it, then leaves it and won't even touch it. Even if I try to wiggle it, he looks away. I have tried mustard, collard, kale, turnip..I add mint in there and Sheldon picks out the mint but leaves the...

My boy has been sleeping under his rock every day for the past 2 months. (Since October). He has not eaten a thing since, although I offer food to him. I take him out every week to give him a bath, and then I let him warm up under his heat light. After about an hour, I offer him dubia roaches...

I have two adult male Beardies. They will always eat the dubia roaches if I offer them, but the past 6 days I have only been offering greens and veggies. They refuse to touch them and have not eaten a thing in 6 days. Now starting two days ago, the two of them are only hiding in their hide all...

I found some real nice pieces of driftwood that I would love to put into my beardies tanks, but there are spider webs inside of it and bugs all over along with dried mud...How do I get rid of these and make it safe for my boys? I've read you can bake it and I tried that for an hour, but dirt...

I was at my vets office a while ago and his comment to me still sticks with me to this day because I COMPLETELY disagree with it. My two beardies were cuddling with me on my neck/chest because they were upset from the vet. He turned to me and said "You know, they are just using you for your...

What kind of flowers do your Beardies like to eat with their greens?

I have two adult beardies and neither of them are interested in their greens or veggies anymore. I try and give them different greens each week with some kind of topping of fruit or veggies. Since I started my roach colony, they get roaches for their protein. They will wait days and not eat any...

Anyone looking for an adult female Beardie or have room to love one? At the Petco near my house, there is an adult female that was found in a dumpster nearby and is up for adoption. She had mouth rot and a digestive problem that she was treated for by the vet and is all better. They don't know...

I'm trying to remember exactly how many hours Beardies need of sleep a night and how many hours of light in the day they need. Just want to make sure my boys are getting the proper amount of each. Also, how often do the uvb lights need to be replaced? Once every 6 months or once a year? Thanks!

Right now I have a 10.0 reptisun fluorescent tube for both tanks and I heard that MVB might be better? What brands of MVB are best for Beardies? Also, do they burn out or do they really last a year until you have to change it? Are they really better than 10.0? Thanks!
