Hey guys, I know I haven't been on much but I have a tiny question. Today I noticed a strange thing sticking out of his vent. Upon first glance, it looks like a seminal plug. I also touched, not pulled, the thing and it didn't feel like poop. It felt, well, rubbery. And it could be a seminal...

Hi all, I have a quick question. Is this light dimmer the ones I see people on here recommending? http://www.amazon.com/Lutron-TT-300NLH-BL-Credenza-Dimmer-Black/dp/B00024BJZE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Nim's basking spot seems to be a bit too hot and I have a 75 watt bulb in the fixture. So I...

Hi everybody. My Nim is being upgraded to a 20 gallon tank. Now, before you get all up in my case, I have some things to say. One, we are moving in two to three months, and that is definite. Two, I'm asking to see if my tank looks alright. Don't pay attention to the temp because it is still...

Hello, I was just wondering how many people here have healthy dragons with the genetic droopy eye. My Nim used to have droopy eye, here is a pic that shows it really well. This one was way back in the summer. He was otherwise healthy. Here is a very recent pic, his eyes look normal now. His...

Hello everyone, I have another quick question. My Nim is 8 months old and perfectly healthy. His appetite is great, his energy is great, he's growing nice and big and his poops look good. I know that winter is upon us and that most beardies are brumating. The thing is, is that my Nim didn't show...

Okay, I have a question. My Nim is currently 8 months old, I've had him for 7. He's always been eating two medium sized meals twice a day. I'm just curious at when to cut it down to one feeding a day. Like, at what age should he get one large feeding a day? Just curious. Thanks in advance to...

Hello everybody, I have yet another question. But this time I'll get right to it, well, it's also the subject title. Does freezing kill parasites in crickets? I have this question because mom accidentally bought some probably parasite ridden crickets. From Petco. I had a scare from their...

First, I don't know where this should really go. I thought 'General Discussion' would be good. Second, this is my question/problem. So, one, two or three months ago my Nim got some crickets from Petco. He did a runny poop the next day. Then he did a good poop, and a runny poop, good poop, good...

Hey everybody, I need some help with this. So, winter has hit Maine and it is super cold, yet still no snow, LOL. We have been having some money problems, it started after I got my Nimrod. Two months after. Now, we don't have the money to buy heating oil for our house. And our house was built so...

Hello everybody, I have a quick question. First, I'm not sure whether this belongs in 'Feeding' or 'General Discussion'. I decided it would fit better in feeding. So, for my question. I've had Nim for a long while now and not once has he gone out of the house. You know, like a drive to the pet...

So, I was bathing Nim tonight and he did something that I have never seen before. He acted like the bath bin was a dig box. He kicked the water just like I have seen beardies in dig boxes do. Is this weird or normal? He usually hates the bath, but it looked like he was enjoying it. He can't be a...

Hello helpful kind people, I have a few questions. First, is this what a beardie vent is supposed to look like? (I know this picture is red. But that is my camera and Nim didn't like being held like that either. And no, he is not on his back. I would never do such a thing.) Also, when I lift up...

I was wondering about this. I did a site search for droopy eye but nothing like this appeared. My Nim has genetic droopy eye and I'm wondering, where does it come from? Like, where did it originate? Anyone know?

So, I was in our basement doing laundry and saw a bag of Calci-Sand from when we had our leos. I decided to read it and it said something that confused me. Here is what it said. "T-Rex Calci-Sand is the only substrate for reptiles designed to be not only ingestible, but digestible when...

I am basing this off two odd poops and we don't have the money for a vet if he does have them. I'm going to post a few questions to see if he has parasites or not. 1. Is there always smelly runny poop with parasites? 2. What type of parasites do crickets carry? 3. Is there always weight loss...

Okay, I am confused about the calcium for my Nim. Here is the cause of my confusion. So, I didn't give Nim calcium for a week or two after I got him. Then I bought some and started dusting. Using the schedule I think everyone uses on this site. Calcium: One feeding a day for five days...

Like the subject title. What are they for? You know, these. The black spots on the shoulders. I know they are natural but it is freaking me out not knowing what they are used for. So any guesses or answers would be great! :D Thanks in advance.

The Beautiful Dragons food chart says phlox is a edible flower for dragons. We have this type of phlox by our house. Phlox Paniculata is it's Latin name. I'm curious if I can feed some of it to Nimrod. Has anybody else tried feeding their dragon this? The Beautiful Dragons chart has it but...

Like the title, how many a year do they need? I'm asking this question because the closest herp vet is in New Hampshire. Right now we are pretty close to New Hampshire, I could walk to the border. But when we move we'll be moving farther away from New Hampshire. Far enough away to where the vet...
