I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but my dubia bin ALWAYS stinks. I recently cleaned it out entirely, got rid of the entire base of frass and put in all new egg crates. That was maybe August or September. It stinks already. Pretty bad. You can be in the same room, but not next to it and...

Anybody ever try mason jar salads? I saw it on Facebook (I think) as an idea for my lunches, and thought 'why not try it for Sidney?' So yesterday morning when I was making his salad, I made three more in mason jars. Supposedly they stay incredibly fresh for at least five days. I just tried...

Quick question. I've noticed Sidney swallowing a lot. Like a big gulp. He does it almost continually when i pick him up. I thought maybe he was just thirsty, but he'll even do it after a big drink from the tub. I don't hear any clicks (I practically stick his nose in my ear when he does...

I have a question I never in my life (pre beardie slave life that is) thought I'd have to ask. What is the best way to sort Dubias by size? I have an overload and Sid hasn't been eating them at all! I'd like to sort them to feed him just mediums or something, and maybe sell a bunch off. I...

I recently adopted a 2 yr old dragon and he came with a colony of roaches. Well, it's pretty apparent I have NO idea how to care for them. The egg crates are very damp and the temp is about 68. This is within about a week. Supposedly there are about 1,000 in there and the bin is not very big at...

Hello all. I'm starting a new thread for my new dragon and will do a memorial thread for my beloved Zilla, who was my first dragon. We've had Sid for 5 days now, and wow! I can't believe how different of a dragon he his compared to Zilla! I still consider myself new to beardies since I'd...

Hoping someone would see this in ER, but no luck. Anyone? viewtopic.php?f=45&t=203955

Hi all Wasn't sure if I should post this in ER, or health so forgive me if it needs to be moved. I finally caught on video what Zilla has been doing for 2-3 weeks now, but then today on the web cam I saw something a little more urgent. A little back story: I took him to the vet a few weeks...

Hi all, I've tried not to be worried, but I finally hit that point. Zilla will be two years old in February so he's finally old enough to brumate (which I am NOT looking forward too) so I completely expected the slow down. But, I have no idea if he should go to the vet at this point. He has...

I'm not seeing what the difference is? One says high output in the name, one says it in the description. http://www.petmountain.com/category/286/1/reptile-fluorescent-bulbs.html (it's the first two bulbs in the link) They both say reptisun 10.0.

Ok, I'm an id!0t. It's official. For whatever reason (I'm sure there were many at the time) I decided to get small superworms instead of the large superworms that I normally do. Well those suckers are pretty small. I realized how stupid I was only AFTER I dumped them into a new bin full of...

Bathed Zilla just now since he decided to lay on his poop :angry5: and when I rinsed him off the second time, I noticed these spots on his legs. Not sure what the green on his belly is either, but I think it could be his fleece blanket dye, or perhaps the stair corner thing in his tank dye...

OMG I just had a heart attack. I took Zilla out of his cage for some snuggle time before night night and the booger took a flying leap! Holy cow! I was in the kitchen pouring a glass of wine and he crawled up my arm to my shoulder where he usually stays for a bit. Before I knew it, he LEAPED...

Maybe its just me - I have never eaten any 'greens' in my life - not collard, not mustard, not turnip, none. Never even really heard of them until I moved to the south. For whatever reason, I decided to taste the mustard greens. I had been noticing Zilla would really dig in to eat them, but...

Hello! My step son just came for the weekend and has a cold. Can our beardie catch it from him?

Hi all. Never in a million years did I think I'd get so excited about a lizard pooping in his bath before. Lol I want to potty train him, so I'm super excited. He's only ever pooped i the tub once. I was hoping today was the day since its Saturday, since he hasn't pooped in about a week and...

Does anybody else wake up their beardie shortly after sleepy time just to get a little snuggle while they fall asleep on you? Some days I can't get home at lunch, and when I get home after work the lights have been off for around 30 minutes. Sometimes I pull him out gently and snuggle for a...

I'm beginning to wonder if it gets to hot in the tank at night some nights. Sometimes Zilla falls asleep on his stuffie, which is not directly under the CHE. Sometimes I cover him, sometimes not. (Usually depends on how bright the living room will be for awhile.) Last night, he fell asleep on...

Hello! I have a quick question. My Beardie is about 11 months now and had been a picky eater for a little while. I changed his lighting around and got a better thermometer (thanks to ALL the great info here!!!) and he seems to be much happier and alert. Sometimes he tries to sleep in the...

So Zilla has decided to be a picky eater right when I have probably 20 big fat juicy hornworms left. And they've eaten all there food...... What can I do?
