    Bearded dragon Jack-O’-lantern

    I tried to carve a bearded dragon’s head on a pumpkin. I think it turned out ok but I could not put much detail in pumpkin and Ember has a lot of detail. She was not happy because I woke her up for the photo. Up in the corner you can see what it looks like when lit from within. Here is a close...

    What’s the best way for 1 person to give meds orally?

    My little Ember Rose was starting her first brumation and after a few weeks of her waking up off and on I noticed her poo looked a little different. So I took the sample to the vet to have a fecal done. The people at the vets said it appeared like average dragon poop. Once the test results were...

    Change UVB tube during brumation? Or Wait.

    It is about time to change the fluorescent tube so I was thinking I could wait for Ember to finally wake up from her brumation. Would that be alright? Because is she is in her cave sleeping all day and not getting any benefit of the UVB. This is our first brumation and I would like input on what...

    Brumation I hate brumation

    This will be the first brumation for Ember Rose and I. So I am not sure how long it will be. I knew it was coming but not this soon. It sucks not being able to pick up and hold my dragon. She sleeps most of the day inside her cave, sometimes I see her eyes open. Every once in a while I have to...

    Ember's 1st Birthday

    Today is Ember’s 1st Birthday. I made her the party hat and we took a trip to the Charlotte NC Repticon. I was able to show Ember off to Carolina Designer Dragons the breeder I got her from.

    My dragon seems to like to be cold.

    Starting in July when I take Ember out of her tank to run around, after walking the perimeter of the room sometimes she goes to the A/C vent and lays next to it or just stands in front of it and stays there until I pick her up. Also she goes in the bathroom and seems to like the cold floor even...

    Building Styrofoam basking spot/cave.(Finished)

    I have finally started to make a basking spot/cave for Ember out of Styrofoam. I had all the stuff I needed to make it for a while now but been too lazy to start.

    Finished making harness and leash.

    This is the first harness I made for Ember out of some duck cloth material. Then I used the same pattern but on vinyl because the edges don’t fray like with cloth. Today I just finished making this harness and leash for Ember. I decided to paint some pink on it so people don’t mistake her...

    My dragon ate a June bug. Should I be worried?

    I had Ember basking in the grass and a June bug landed close to her. As I grabbed her it was already in her mouth. She is 9 months old and the bug was about the size of a finger nail so she had no problem eating it in a few chomps. Just wondering if it will be a problem? She seems fine and had a...

    Starting a garden for my dragon.

    Today I started my very first garden for my bearded lady Ember Rose. She is 9 months old and is a lot like me because both of us don’t eat many vegetables. I decided to start a garden to see if it would save any money. Most of the green I get her go bad since she does not eat them. I don’t like...

    Ember Rose my first dragon

    I got interested in bearded dragons about a year ago. In January 2012 I rescued a green anole that was in my office at work. I did not know if he would make it since it was so thin and dehydrated. I always wanted a lizard but I knew the set up costs a lot. I have spent over $500.00 on the little...
