    Purple LED Plant Lights

    I recently moved my plants next to my adult (6-year-old) beardie's enclosure to overwinter them. I use purple LED lights that are on the same timer as the heat lamp, CHE. I have noticed he has started trying to bask on the side of the enclosure next to where the plants and purple lights are...

    Overheating but won't move from basking spot

    Cass is 6 years old and usually semi-brumates for a few weeks during the summer. Last month I thought he was doing his normal thing, but then he stopped going in his cave, he would just sit around all day, not eating. He was losing weight rapidly so I started giving him greens/veggie slurries...

    Can't figure out what's wrong

    I have a 4-year-old beardie who has just doesn't seem to feel well. He has been on Flagyl per vet for trichamonas every two weeks, one dose left, but it's not helping. He had one good day last week, his color brightened and he was running all over, but turned out he just needed to poop. He eats...

    Baycox "survey"

    I was talking to my vet today about Baycox because he wanted to prescribe Albon for my 9-month-old and 5-month-old beardies. I have used Baycox once in the past with pretty good results, but he said it has not been tested long term in reptiles and he wouldn't risk it. I'm wondering how many...

    Probably dumb questions, but...

    OK, I have a couple questions. do the color of stress marks change as they get older? About a week ago I noticed Norm had very mild stress marks, but instead of the dark color they are light grey with orange in the middle (he is an orange dragon). Is that normal? He started his Panacur paste...

    Dead/Live Superworms in container

    Hi, I go into our local Petco every Tuesday because the manager clears out any superworms and reptiworms over a week old and gives me 75% off. I went in yesterday and got a few 75-count medium superworms. When I got home, the smell was awful and there were quite a few dead black ones. There...

    protecting food

    This made me laugh so I just wanted to share it. I have spoiled my two beardies by hand feeding and am trying to break the habit, so I set a bowl of dubias in with Cass, which he ignored...until the cat heard them and decided to watch from the other side of the glass. Cass immediately jumped...

    Dubias and Poop...(warning...poo pic!)

    I was feeding my older beardie, Norm, crickets for the first few months of his life and he always had "normal-looking" but very smelly poos. I thought that's just how they smelled, first beardie and all. Then I tried dubias and he quickly dumped the crickets and would only eat dubias as his...

    Noremac and Cass

    Hi, My son got Noremac back in March when he was about 6 inches long, and I posted a few questions, and have been lurking ever since. My son got fed up with me "mothering" his pet and told me to get my own...I thought about it for a few weeks and then found a beardie clearance at PetCo...$18...

    Relocation stress?

    My son got sick of me 'mothering' his beardie so I had to get my own. Petco was having a 'beardie clearance' ...$18 for the bigger ones. I held one and fell in love...he was so calm, especially for a baby - well, 10 inches. I've had him (Cass) about a week now and have him in a 40 breeder...

    Food dish/tongs versus hunting?

    Hi, we got our baby beardie, Noremac, about a month ago and he is doing great...eating crickets and a few veggies every day. We recently switched to bigger crickets as he has grown a few inches since we got him, and I expected the number of crickets he eats to decrease because they are larger...
