    Are multiple dragons significantly more work than one?

    So I have my awesome boy Toa, but there is this poor adorable dragon at petco who is now 6 months old and is half off. I know the people who work there and they take good care of their reptiles so I'm not concerned about her health. I know it would be more food, plus an additional setup. But is...

    What is this hanging out of vent.

    I went to take Toa out today and noticed something hanging out of his vent I gave him a bath and very gently brushed at it with a soft toothbrush to see if it would come out. It didn't move so I didn't want to mess with it if it's still... Attached..? Any help is appreciated. I can try to get...

    Cleaning your dragon?

    9 times out of 10 plain water is enough to get Toa clean, but lately he has been pooping on his basking spot and laying in it. His tail was covered today! Luckily I smelled it before putting him on my shirt. :puke: So my question is, when water isn't enough what do you use? I found some...

    Toa drank water and some came up later

    So, Toa drank water from his bath for the first time (He is a year old, I've had him for 8 months). He drank for like 30 seconds or so, put his mouth in the water and I could see his beard moving. After his bath we were hanging out on the couch and he decided to jump off my chest down to my lap...

    An X-ray of an impacted leopard gecko.

    Toa's vet posted it to Facebook the other day. I don't know what happened to him but am hoping that since he was at the vet it all ended well. I know we all here about it but I've never seen an X-ray of what it looks like. Thought I would share.

    Suplements during brumation

    So, I am pretty sure Toa is brumating. He's sleeping more and maybe only eating a few greens a day, completely ignoring his reptis and supers. He still likes hanging out outside his viv is getting his 2-3x per week baths. My question is do I need to worry about supplementation while he is...

    Just want to brag and say thanks!

    I took Toa to the vet for the first time on Friday. As the vet (awesome reptile specialist that is close to my house! If you happen to be in San Diego I can give info) was asking about housing, feeding, and general care, every time I answered about how I care for Toa, the vet nodded his head in...

    Night time temperature

    Due to the lovely warm weather we are having the night temperatures in Toa's viv are bottoming out around 80-85 deg. F. Is this too high? I know usually too cold is a concern but I was wondering if it needs to get lower than this? I can't leave the window in his room open because his humidity...

    Wild caught hornworms

    Just wanted to preface this by saying I haven't tried this, I am just curious if it would work in theory. OK, I know wild caught bugs are bad. Especially hornworms if they have eaten off a tomato plant. Also, if you buy a live plant to feed you dragon they say to replant it and wait a few weeks...

    Another poop question

    So I did do a search but didn't really find the answer to my question. Here it goes: So I have had Toa for almost a month now (got him from petco) and since I got him he was pooping everyday before I got home from work (nicer for me since it was so... fresh...). Starting about last Friday or so...

    Temporary outside enclosure

    So I have a large storage bin that I was thinking of using to keep my 4 month guy Toa safe while enjoying the beautiful weather. My question is if I wanted to put a rock or maybe a branch in there with him would I need to sanitize it first? He probably wouldn't be out there for more than half an...

    New Beardie Mom

    Hello everyone! Here's my story on how I found my new little buddy Toa. So on a quick trip to my local Petco for some cat food I came across this gorgeous 6 yr old beardie that had been basically neglected for four years by his previous owner. The animal lover in me flipped and I wanted to take...
