I have three rescue dragons, two male and a female, ranging from middle to old age, but all now healthy. I have noticed that they all have the habit of leaving two crickets when they are fed. It does not seem to matter if they are fed a lot or a little or if they are "starving" or just hungry...

With the weather getting colder here in MN, I will be bringing my crickets in for the winter. Odor is a big issue. Has anyone had success in controlling the odor with some kind of bedding? I have read that vermiculite works. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

My beardie, Henry had yellow in his urates. Is that fungus or a sign of something else going on? Henry is 10 yrs old and was just skin and bones when I got him but is now eating a better diet of crickets, veggies, and the normal supplements. He is now very alert and gaining weight. He has a...

I have three rescue dragons that all need help with shedding. All have the usual viv setup with controlled high-low heat, some humidity, no loose substrate, and something to rub-scratch on.Their diets include crickets, greens, squash, calcium and vitamins. Rocky was a rescue purchased in...

I have three dragons in various stages of health but all are eating and pooping every day. Their urine has ranged from soft white to very firm, almost like chalk. Has anyone info on what is going on and if I should be concerned. Thanks.

I adopted a very sick Beauty 2 months ago and she has recovered wonderfully and enjoys her new home. She shares the living room with Rocky, who was Cera until he started showing guy behaviors when he was out getting exercise. They never are out together and his viv is in an area of the room...

I brought Henry home from the Herp. Soc. mtg two weeks ago. His daytime house is a tank that is 11" w x 18"h x 30"l and has a basking area and stone tile substrate. At night I move him and his basking rock into a smaller container which has a constant temp. He seems to like the set up. He is...

I have been following all the advice on how long to keep the lights on to be sure my dragon gets enough UVB. Well since DST started Cera has been following her own schedule. She gets up at the same time every morning but now instead of staying up until the same bedtime, she goes into her hide...

I went to the monthly Herp. Soc. meeting and brought home Beauty. All the surrendered and found reptiles in our area are adopted or fostered out through our Herp. Soc. She is an adult, looks like older rather than younger, and she is almost comatose. She is about 18 inches and very dark. Her...

I think I'm getting Spring fever. I have the energy and the need to clean my house now but can't open the windows for at least a few months. Is there an all purpose cleaner, besides white vinegar, that is safe to use around a beardie. I'm chem sensitive too, so it makes it hard to clean...

Well this has been an eye opening morning. My new beardie has firued out how to get out of the temporary viv that I set up for her. I lost my Roxi recently ad rescued Cera. We named her Cera after the triceratops in the movie Land Before Time. She has shown us a tenacious, in charge type...

Finished the new viv for my Doser. It is a hodge podge of old materials that are tox-free, but she is happy in her bigger space. Being basically an oak box with one plexi wall, it is much easier to control the temp. I will do the originally designed viv this spring when I can let the building...

Does anyone know of a non-toxic sealer for stone tile. I am putting stone tile in the new viv and need a sealant the can be used inside and does not off-gas. Both my new beardie and I need chem-free sealer. Don't have a garage and can't work outside for at least 6-8 weeks. The tile is...

Picked up a new dragon on Valentines Day, did not plan it but nice it happened. Called on an ad selling her but it really was part rescue as the set up did not have enough light. Her owners were taking care of her for a friend and the friend did not want her back. Her current name is Dozer, as...

My Roxi is just 3 1/2 years old and I think she just died. I'm hoping I am wrong and she has gone into brumation. She is unresponsive and limp and not breathing, that I can see but she does not seem totally dead either. She has been shedding and her appetite has been off but she has been...

I rescued a 2yr old dragon from a relative four weeks ago. Roxy's previous diet was sometimes 5 crickets a day, some mixed greens, but mostly meal worms. She has not shed for almost a year. Her tank did not have a UVB light only a 100 watt daylight incandesent for heat. I now have her in a 40...
