    Making weird hiccups? (Video included)

    I always offer Gamma (my teen male dragon) water from the sink since he doesn't understand stagnant water. Sometimes he takes a drink and today he did. Now he seems to be sucking in air randomly and making noise. He spit up a little bit. His beard is black. His whole body just seems to be...

    Rolly Pollies?

    Not sure how to spell them, but are they safe for beardies to eat? They are super easy to raise (my hermits eat the babies). I am looking for some good staple feeders that I am not afraid of. I only have silk worms so far. I am raising meal worms but those are not staple. I am afraid of phoenix...

    Regrowing a nail? It was bitten off completely though

    So when I got Gamma he was missing the very tip of some of his fingers and toes, probably from when he was housed with many dragons as a baby. Just now though I noticed a TINY TINY TINY nail like thing sticking out of one of those fingers? Is this something that is possible?

    Are horn worms healthy? I am getting conflicting Info

    My bearded dragon has only been eating mealworms as of late (his choice, I keep trying other food and I've had his enclosure checked out multiple times and have confirmed he is just weird). I think he would def. be willing to try horn worms though and so I would like to get them. I keep hearing...

    Stopped eating for a long time, now he only wants mealworms?

    My bearded dragon Gamma, is a teen beardie. For the longest time (past few months) he decided he doesn't want any food (unless it was wax worms and I refused those). Well, finally he has decided to start eating again this summer but the only thing he will eat are meal worms. I have been giving...

    Free Sick Rescue Beardie

    Hello. Today I was at Petco with my little brother. We were contemplating getting a beardie hammock for our crazy teen beardie. While we were there we saw one of the pet store workers carrying a baby bearded dragon. He was REALLY bloated and dark. He couldn't open his eyes and he looked very...

    Always stressed, sleepy, and doesn't want to eat

    I've had my beardie for about 6 months now. He grew from almost 11 inches to 18 inches last time I measured him. He is in a 40 gallon Exoterra with tile flooring, a log on the cool side and a basking branch on the warm side. He has a MVB, UVA basking bulb, and regular heat light. On the warm...

    What are your Beardie nicknames?

    I have lots of nicknames for my dragon. He is name is Gamma (after Gamma rays because he is so high energy) but I also call him Gamba, Gambit, Goblit, The Goob, Dragon, Gamma Goblin, Lizard, Gammer, Gammers, and Gremlin. Anyone else have silly nicknames they call their beardie? =) Also, I...

    Vet had a hard time telling, I do too, boy or girl?

    When I first brought Gamma home I thought it was a she. There was a lot of digging going on but it turns out "she" was too young to have eggs anyway. The vet couldn't tell at the time (this was a few months ago) so we went with "he." Today "he" started digging around, which I know male dragons...

    Found a site with great deals on enclosures!

    I just posted this at the Hermit Crab Association as well. Here is the link http://www.glasscages.com/?sAction=ViewCat&lCatID=4 I haven't checked shipping costs but it seems like really great deals at this place. I can't imagine getting a 40 gallon for less than 120 most of the time and these...

    This makes me sad

    So, I saw this at LLL reptiles, these poor beardies have their tails nipped and they are all missing a foot (as a result they are cheaper). I will post a link at the bottom. It really breaks my heart. I really wish I could take one in...

    Hardly pooping and often stressed?

She has tile for substrate and is given kale, pretty pets juv. iguana food, and full size crickets. I use a normal light bulb for light and warmth, plus a...

    Cutest story I've ever heard about a beardie!

    So, one of my friends told me that when she went to a family party, one of her nephews who was about 8 years old was really into Eragon and found a rock that looked like an egg. He decided right away that it was a dragon egg and so he took it inside, wrapped it in a blanket and sat on it to keep...

    Wakes up stressed everymorning?

    Gamma wakes up with black spots every morning and stress marks though she seems calm. She also seems to puff up once a day. She is a juvi, so maybe the puffing is her learning how to do that? I am uncertain. Is this normal? If not, what can I do? She is in a 20 gallon until I can build her...

    Choking?

    My beardie has both pinworms and coccidia so we have to syringe feed meds each day. Thus far there has been no problems. We just gave her the meds and now she is puffing up her beard and making weird sounds where her mouth opens and she is pushing out air. It almost sounds like a sneeze. I have...

    UV sterilization?

    I have a special UV light that has mercury in it. It's a degerming light. Does anyone know if this would work on coccidya or pinworms?

    Dark spots? Did shed skin get pulled off?

    My beardie has been shedding throughout the week. I haven't pulled any of her skin. I gently run a tooth brush over it (very, very, very, gently). While in the bath she immediately started itching. She used her foot and scratched most of the skin off her head. I worry because she has dark spots...

    Jumped off my couch, chair, and bed?

    First, I would like to say that on all of these occasions Gamma has been fine and secondly that I tried to prevent it. She is just so fast and unpredictable! Gamma is about 11 inches or so and very healthy. I just have noticed she doesn't seem as cuddly? I've not had her quite a month yet, so it...

    GammaBeast tries to "help" with chemistry

    So, Gamma kept scratching at the glass until I took him out and he went running all over my bed and exploring (sometimes jumping). I have been studying for a chem test but I thought "ah well, I don't mind a break, maybe he will hang out on my bed while I study." This is pretty much how things...
