So i unfortunately have had to potentially rehome Hige due to this being my dissertation year at uni as well as now having a job and a lot of unexpected issues - im never going to be home while he's awake, so i wanted to create a little care sheet for any prospective people. What would go on...

Hige has been brumnating for about a month (though not feeding for about 2) and a few days ago he woke up and started scratching at the glass. He ate 2 small dubia and a little bit of babyfood - his favourite carrot and butternut squash but turned his nose up at everything else. I left him to...

How long does brumnation usually last approximately? I miss having my little guy run around! He's been down a few weeks though and although he had a bright day a few days ago im guessing he's gonna be down a while longer. To be honest it couldn't have come at a better time - i have 8 hatchling...

Got my 8 late june/early july hatch corn snake babies home today - i just had to share some of the photos i took for their record sheets! I have no idea on names yet either :3 They're still settling in so i cant handle them yet. Also they're currently between 9 and 17g - is this normal for 4...

So theres an awesome thread called 'snake shaming' on another forum i use - it is full of pictures of peoples snakes doing something they shouldn't be and how they 'misbehave/act silly' :D I thought it'd be great to see any Beardie/other reptile ones! Sometimes shaming them via the internet is...

Hige hasn't pooped in just over a week, which i expected since he hasn't eaten in over a week. I've been bathing him every few days so he's nice and hydrated. I popped him in this evening and after 15 mins or so he did urates and a completely white poop, bar a tiny black bit at the end. The...

Hige has been visibly getting ready for a sleep. I worry he's too skinny - but there's no stopping him! So i've been readying his set up for it. I just wanted to check i've done it right! At the moment he's 18" long and weighs between 385g and 393g depending on how full of food/poop he is, with...

I need a new accurate thermometer - but im on a budget! Does anyone from the UK have any recommendations?

I went to check on my BD when i got back from university as usual and noticed he had the blackest beard i have ever seen on him! He was otherwise as bright as usual and didn't seem to fussed - running along when i opened the lid as normal. I went to pick him up though to check him and he...

So i got flu and i was wondering: Is it safe to handle your beardie when you're sick? Like, can they catch my bug? Today i've been disinfecting my hands before i handle his food and i just fed him superworms in his bowl. I like to give him an afternoon run around every day and a bath in the...

I occasionally look after my autistic younger brother and he always wants to make something for my dragon, but i know a lot of things have to be specific with beardies and he gets distracted/bored easily, so i went looking for things to do that are easy and simple. I happened to go onto youtube...

So when i took Hige to the vet in august/september re. parasites he told me he looked too skinny and that i should try and bulk him up - this was after almost a month of fattening up! He was much lighter than the female, despite being bigger. He's bulked out a lot more now and i wanted to check...

So im conducting a small research study where my aim is to collect peoples Bearded Dragons weight, length and age. I'd be noting down all this info into a table and eventually, when i have enough info, i want to be able to create an 'average' length/weight vs age growth chart and a length vs...

Im doing my BSc Animal Behaviour and Welfare Degree and since im in my final year (at last!!!) i have to do a dissertation (research project). I'd love to do some research into reptiles, particularly BD's or tortoises, but i am very very stuck for a topic! I figured who best to brainstorm with...

I cleaned the glass of my BD's vivarium a few days ago and he's been pretty weird since. He was normal the first few days and then today he went nuts. He's been glass dancing since 9am and its now almost 2pm here. I did a bit of research and found its probably his reflection, but in all the...

So i finally got my student loans in - almost a month late! It means i now finally have money for Hige's coccidia medicine. I have a few questions about what to do so i get it right first time! : 1) Is treating him safe? I was worried he was starting to brumnate because he slowed down, started...

At his last check, hige had a very slight coccidia problem which the vet recommended i treat with an over the counter wormer, and due to a delay in student finance payments im still waiting for the money to buy it (i expect it to arrive in the next week). Hige seems to be wanting to start...

I've been really busy lately due to university starting back up, student finance messing up and various other issues so haven't been able to play with Hige during the day. A friend volunteered to come round to take him out of his viv and play with him. I got a text at lunch time to say that he...

I finally have the funds to set up a somewhat decent Dubia roach colony. I hate the crickets noise so i want to feed dubia with superworms. At the moment i have around 20 females and two males that have been busy sat breeding, but i haven't been able to feed off any yet. I have the money to buy...

I rescued an estimated 18 month old male beardie 2 months ago and lately he's started to 'discover his beard'. At first he'd tolerate me picking him up and moving him although he'd go dark, get stress marks and maybe beard but he wouldn't hiss, but if i touched him otherwise he would. After a...
