Hi! My Beardie, Stryker, passed away yesterday after 5 years. How do I clean and disinfect his 40 gallon? What about his new carpet, log hide and driftwood? I hate to throw anything outo. Help !

Hi! Stryker just turned 5 on 1/27/17. (HATCH DATE) He is very strange. Hardly ever eats. Only has 1/2 dozen Supers once a week. Alot of times he leaves them to die. Gets a bath every week or two. Sheds all the time. Rarely poops, except in bath usually. Today he got a short bath. My...

My granddaughter's Leo sheds constantly. She helps pull off the skin. He does have a damp box with moss. We got him a larger one two weeks ago. All of a sudden, his beautiful tail shrunk like a pencil. His mouth looks bloody on the outside. One eye isnt right. He may be losing a toe and he...

Hi! It's been a while since I've been on. Stryker was 3 years old on January 27th. Unfortunately, he has passed through several owners/caretakers in our family and though I am concerned about him, I have not been paying the poor boy much attention. My husband feeds and bathes him. :oops...

My 1 1/2 year old male Beardie, Stryker, bit me for the first time tonight! I was trying to feed him some applesauce with olive oil by dropper because he hasn't gone to the bathroom for a week and a half, which also was the last time he got a bath, and he bit right thru my fingernail and back...

Hello! We got a Gecko yesterday that is 3-4 years old that someone was selling on craigslist. He (I think!) came with a 20 Gallon tank and a 2 lamps. One empty and one with an old kind household bulb. So, since I've turned to this site before to learn about Beardies, I thought y'all could...

When I was bathing my beardie, Stryker :love5: , today, he closed his eyes for a moment and it looked like he had light blue bags under both his eyes. Is this normal? He is a year and 3 months old. I thought I had all the correct lighting :study:, although I was thinking his Reptisun...

Hi! I checked in on Stryker this morning and found his cage a mess-carpet all bunched up and basking wood all askew and Stryker running around like crazy and I mean, this was weird because he mainly stays on his basking spot all day and hardly ever moves around. I think my 10 yr old...

I live in South Carolina, USA :D and I use a water conditioner called Reptisafe to bathe Stryker in. No one ever told me to do this, but I used to have aquatic turtles and we used this to treat their water. I'm sure it's safe, but my question to y'all is: is it necessary-or should I use...

Stryker just turned 1 yr old. He's 17 1/8 inches long and about 456 grams. He has been on crickets (which he sometimes refuses to eat) and mealies all his life. I know, :roll: they're not good for him, but that's the only way we could aford to feed him this year. He is now up to 50...

I would like to download one of my own pictures of Stryker as an avatar. All the pictures in my computer's photo gallery were too large. So I opened up a photobucket account and transferred all my beardie pics there. I then picked out a photo I like and resized it to 100 x100 pixels. Can...

Hi, Everybody, My beardie Stryker is now almost 11 months old. I'm pretty sure he's a male. Anyways, my granddaughter has been resposible for baths the last couple of months, so I don't know when this happened, though I didn't notice it when I handled him last week. He has a discoloration...

Tonight we had a scare of sorts. My granddaughter went to take up Stryker's bowl and he was sitting in it and I think looking at his reflection-which I never noticed him doing before. He's almost 8 months old. Anyways-and we're still not sure if he's a he or she-his beard was the largest and...

I want to buy crickets on line for Stryker. I live in SC and have pretty much decided to go with Ghann's. Any body have anything to say about this distributor? Also, I had initially come across a video or two about how to set up a cricket keeper (for 1,000+ crickets). Now I can't find it and...

This may sound a little weird, but do any of you ever kiss your beardie? :oops: I want to so much cause I really love Stryker, but I am afraid of Salimanella. We do "Eskimo Kisses" instead and rub noses. Stryker seems to like it. :lol:

I've had my beardie for 3 months now and I don't know what stress marks are! Or where they are? Or what causes them...besides stress? :? My beardie has little circular and oblong and lined designs on his belly-but they have always been there and don't go away. My breeder said this was...

Hi! We found bookoos of "sweet ants" (the tiny, tiny ones) in Stryker's salad last night! The salad was made of kale, carrots, squash and blueberries. He never touched it...and they came marching in! The salad was left out all day-as usual. We do seem to have these ants this time of...

Hi! I am a rather new beardie Mom. We got Stryker II on May 11th, 2012 at 3 1/2 months. So he's about 5 3/4 months now. He is 10 inches long and weighs 48 grams. I don't know whether this is good or bad. Can someone tell me whether he's a good size and weight? He seems robust and healthy and...

HI! I am jings55, but you can call me Joanne. My Grands call me "Mimi." I live in South Carolina, USA. My family and I are are new Beardie owners. I just wrote an article in the RIP section concerning Strykers' namessake, Stryker I, also known as Ms. Stryker, who died exactly a week after we...
