viewtopic.php?f=1&t=151498 Thanks :)

Aww, that is so cute :) My kids are having a hard time losing our guy as they were really attached too. My son has some pretty extreme anxiety and depression issues and frequently, I would shove Beardie into his hands when he was really keyed up. The quiet and gentle nature of Beardie was a real...

DOH! Good luck to you too :) I guess I see some people entering who have these amazing lizard rooms and tons of beardies of all sorts of special hybridization and wonder why they want to win this one. Ofcourse, I would love a "mutt" as much as one who has special colors or textures of skin. We...

Thanks all! I made a post under Gen Discussion about a contest I entered to win a baby. If you feel so compelled, you can read that and vote for me on Facebook :) I decided to let fate determine how soon I get a new baby.

Hey there everyone! I know I have been scarce the past couple of years (went back to school in addition to being mom to 5!!) but I used to come here a whole lot and I know a lot of the "old-timers" here will remember me. I lost my 7yo boy recently, most likely after he got hold of a firefly :(...

My guy also liked cooked chicken and turkey (I would give him some turkey on Thanksgiving, not as a regular food). I wonder if that would be ok as a protein staple. Or maybe liver (I give that to my rats). I just hated dealing with crickets. It's like learning how to take care of a newborn all...

Hi, I am actually a long-time member here but haven't been coming/posting recently until Beardie got sick. You might not remember me. I think we first met at the frog forum actually. Beardie didn't make it through the night. I did dust his bugs and greens but also kept the vitamin powders in his...

Does your beardie like fruit? Most of them go nuts for some kind of sweet fruit like watermelon, peaches, mango etc. What you do is take collard greens and run them through a food processor until they are chopped to about half the size of cole slaw veggies and then mix with fruit or other veggie...

Thanks Deb.

That's ok. He is a gorgeous orangey-yellow color but seems pale today. He has always been vigorous and since buying that case of worms, his belly really filled out too (but not hard like you would expect if impacted plus has been pooping). He only just today has been acting weird like this. He...

Nora, I just saw that you lost Tatsu. I am so sorry! He was truly a majestic beast! I loved hearing about all of his little antics. I think he was up there in age with my guy, Beardie (7yo). That is actually why I came here today. Beardie is quite sick and I don't know if he'll make it...

I found him this morning with his tail sitting in his own poo (he never sits on his poo) and looking lethargic. I took him out to bathe him and clean up the mess and he is totally limp but will hold his head up still and look at me. He isn't putting his feet right when I set him down and he...

Hey everyone! I don't know if any of you remember me but I thought I'd come and post and share my beardie story. We have this new small business pet store that specializes in frogs (we love froggies!), darts and other tropical and aquatic varieties in my town. They also have reptiles and...

Shoebox is perfect! It is insulated, cheap and it keeps them from being stressed by seeing birds and stuff that might upset them otherwise (my guy is freaked out by birds, hawks to be specific). The rice sock is a great idea.

Unfortunately, Flukers is crap...anything they sell. I would switch to Rep-cal calcium with D3 and Herptivite (also made by Repcal). Get rid of the mealworms too. Make sure prey is appropriately sized (no longer than the space between the eyes). The twitching makes me think MBD though. A MVB...

Your food schedule sounds good but get rid of the new sand! That calcium sand is death to beardies. What happens is they eat it and it clumps up in their gut and they get impacted. Think clumping cat litter. If you really want to try a sand, get the kind made for children's sandboxes and make...

I may be a day late and a dollar short (I haven't been online a lot lately :oops: ) but I wanted to add that steam is what they use to sterilize surgical instruments and hence the best means of killing "cooties". The key would be to have a machine that uses a high temp, almost dry, vapor. I am...

What about one of those steam devices? Steam is used to sterilize surgical instruments. Surely it would kill adenovirus if you steamed it good. I've heard of others using these things for their animal tanks since they don't utilize chemicals...

Nice to meet you Shannon. Your Norbert is adorable! :) -Melissa

I would just put a divider into the 150 gallon. It is plenty big enough for that and you would be able to do it sooner than having to build a whole new place for them. Sometimes that behavior of lying on one another is a dominance thing. One tries to steal the UV for him/herself. You could get a...
