Okay, so after I witnessed my rescue, Sienna, the other night doing a full on slow bob while she was sleeping, I've got to thinking perhaps something else is triggering this. First off, here is an example of what I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boU-T4AbsJA This has all took...

So I had Hermes out with me while I was on the computer. After digging himself into a nice little hollow, he crashed so I went and brought Sienna out so she could get some additional time outside her viv. It was getting sort of late, so after about 30 minutes she too found a place to hunker down...

So ever since I brought my female, Sienna, into my house, my male Hermes has been in a constant upset state. Originally she was in the same room as he was but I ended up moving her into my bedroom so he wouldn't see her anymore. Thing is, he still knows she's in the house. When I take him out of...

Okay, so my male decided to come out of brumation today. How long do you guys allow them to get back to themselves before handling them again? Hermes was sort of out of it and fidgeted a lot when I picked him up so I wasn't sure if he needed some time to adjust now that he's awake. I did give...

Browsing through craigslist I came across this ad for a 3 year old: http://denver.craigslist.org/for/3972321109.html This animal looks bad. Not as skeletal as some I've seen listed here but the growth and the long nails tell me enough this animal has received little to no decent care. Equipment...

Where do you guys get the egg crates for roaches? Do you buy them somewhere or just hit the local markets and ask for the used ones they would discard? Ordinarily I would be okay snagging some from like a Walmart or something, but is it possible the crates might harbor something bacteria wise...

Hermes has not really shown much improvement since this thread: viewtopic.php?f=45&t=194678 Recent changes are: - Further Decrease in appetite - Stays in hide 100% of the time - Has slight motor control problems - Skin sensitivity - Dark stress colors and spots all the time Over the past two...

Those of us on reptile forums have been made very aware, whether directly or indirectly, how dangerous Calcium Sand is to reptiles. Given the cases we've seen where beardies have consumed the sand to the point of death, has there ever been a push to inform these manufacturers of the hazards of...

Today when I was bathing Hermes he passed a poop in the tub with a fair amount of blood. The quantity seemed on par like you pricked your finger with a pin and a small amount formed near the wound. Might not seem like a lot to a human, but for a small animal like beardies that seems like a lot...

I'm gearing up to start working on the new viv this weekend but I still need to snag a few more critical items. One of which is paint to seal up the interior of the viv. So what paint did you use? I am a painter (artistic) so I know there are paint brands that contain lead or other harmful...

I have plans on building a new viv over the summer but I'm curious if anyone has built using aspen wood. The local hardware store has precut 4' x 2' boards to act as a base, with 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 inch available. But aspen seems really soft, so I was curious if it would be considered too fragile to...

So Hermes has been taking full advantage of his new hide that I constructed and has virtually decided not to come out for the past 2 weeks. When I look in there, he's not sleeping, just laying in the dark. Generally I can tempt him out with food but lately he's not that interested, even with his...

Title is what it says... The last few days Hermes has been passing stool with a lot of undigested food in it. Just a few moments ago, he pooped in the bathtub as I was bathing him and I noticed, after he started thrashing a bit and breaking the mass up, there was about three pheonix worms that...

Considering how little I know of this, I'm wondering if Hermes is showing signs of shedding or if his odd dull color on some parts of his body are just old skin that never came off. Is something like that possible? That it never sluffs off and damages scales underneath? Here's some images to...

Ello all! Tomorrow is a big day for both myself and a future member of my household as I will be purchasing, and transporting, my first bearded dragon. I'm extremely excited about this, having been prepping my home and buying new bulbs as well as as a host of other accessories and food. The...
