RI stands for respiratory infection. Wendy

Congratulations Basil. Those are some very nice pics, especially the main one. Very nice to see a bearded dragon as pet of the day. He is quite handsome. Wendy

Okay I have 5, so here goes: 1. Sinclair. - My 1st bearded dragon came from The Atomic Lizard Ranch. (Shipped) 2. Pancakes - Adoptee from beardeddragon.org. (Shipped from VA) 3. Tyger - Purchased through beardeddragon.org member breeder. (Shipped) 4. Tassadar - Adoptee from...

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Lizard intelligence is greatly underestimated by too many people. They are capable of communicating, learning, being trained, and recognizing people, and even training their owners to a certain extent. :D Wendy

I agree with the previous poster about needing to change out the uvb light to a reptisun 10 tube light. The compacts are not recommended, as they can cause eye issues and do not provide the appropriate uvb. Get her as much natural sunlight as you can, keep her hydrated (supervised shallow...

If I take a bearded dragon with me out for a short trip, it would not be to Walmart, as there is no such thing as a quick trip to Walmart, but seven never in a million years. I have taken one on trips to Petsmart, and even a brief stop by Office Depot on the way back from Petsmart. Plus my...

I have Sinclair, Pancakes, Tyger, and now Tassadar. Wendy

There might not be a problem with the hood. I had a similar issue with one of my hoods where the light would come on in the morning, but would periodically go off like when opening the doors of my beardie's enclosure, but come back on if I adjusted the bulb slightly. I did a little research...

I would be more worried about dehydration, so make sure that you are soaking him in warm water for about 15 to 30 minutes on a regular basis. I have had beardies go on mini hunger strikes, but they usually can't resist when I offer them baby food through a needless syringe. A favorite is a mix...

Poor little darling, how someone couldn't look at her and tell she wasn't okay is beyond me, but at least she isn't suffering anymore, and you tried very hard to help her. Wendy

Actually veiled are supposed to be at least somewhat omnivorous, so the addition of some veggies won't hurt her. Make sure you are mixing some calcium in with the food. Maybe even mix some plain pedialyte in. I had a male veiled chameleon a few years ago, and he would eat an occasional bit of...

There is a Repticon show at the Gwinnett Fairgrounds next month towards the end of the month. There have been a lot of bearded dragons at the last few shows that I attended. Just google Repticon Atlanta. Wendy

Thanks for the update. It is good to know that the delay is not nearly as bad as I thought. For the record, it was not my intention to bash Bob Mac. I have personally spoken to him and exchanged emails with him, and do agree with other poster that he is a good guy who genuinely cares about...

I was thinking about ordering some extra Megaray bulbs to have some backups on hand just in case (and for future use) when I noticed that there is a shipping delay until @ 10/21 for what seems like all if their bulbs. A five month shipping delay seems extraordinarily long, so I was wondering...

When your beardies and iguana have their own mini fridge just for their veggies. When your beardies also have a wine cooler just for their worms, and you have multiple bins of dubias and superworms for them to eat. When the first thing you do when you wake up is to go check on your beardie...

I second the slate recommendation. With sand there is a risk of impaction from licking at the sand. It might not happen but it is a possibility. Wendy

An UTH is not necessary and not recommended. The foam background is not necessary either, but it also doesn't hurt anything either. I only have one beardie house which came with a foam background. I left it in, and he used to climb on it some when he was smaller, it made him look like a...

You could try putting some dubias in a small bowl. When mine was that little I left Phoenix worms in these little mealworms bowls that I found at Petco. I also used the small plastic Phoenix worm containers to put dubias in. They are really good at getting out of those, but perhaps a shallow...

The Zoo Med basking bulbs are sold at Petco as Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamps. Those are what I use. http://www.petco.com/product/4969/Zoo-Med-Repti-Basking-Spot-Lamps.aspx Wendy Whoops you said UVB, and I was thinking heat. Zoo Med makes the Reptisun tubes, but I have found them more at...

You could try some baby food. A favorite of my beardies is a mixture of turkey and squash. They also really liked squash by itself. You can add a little water to thin it if needed. Then use a syringe (the one's without a needle) and dab a little on his snout. They usually lick it off, but...
