He has a mouth infection. I knew there was a reason he wasn't opening up! The vet said he's a good weight so she wasn't worried about his low eating yet (we went in early!). If we can't get the meds in him, or if they don't help, we'll talk about syringe feeding. I can't get the photo to...

I can't figure out how to upload a pic. He's very handsome. I've been trying to hand feed him. He looks at it so he can still see. Today he opened his mouth a tiny bit, and I was able to slide a wax worm in. He's not sticking his tongue out or trying for the food. He's seeing the vet today.

Yes, Aztec. He's done great with our set up for all these years. He's pretty sluggish now. He's been slowing down for years but would still perk up and eat when we fed him. Now, he can't get the food even when we feed him. His tongue goes the wrong way if he even tries. We'd been struggling with...

This post has been helpful. My 13.5yo beardie seems to be fading after brumation. He's been slowing down for years and has had to be hand fed due to vision problems. He's extremely sluggish coming out of this brumation and isn't eating. Even when we feed him, he can't get anything. I think his...

I'm sad because it seems like our 13.5yo beardie might not be with us much longer. He'd been slowing down for years but always perked up a bit after brumation. He's had trouble seeing and has mostly needed to be hand fed for a couple of years. After brumation, he's really sluggish and doesn't...

Hi everyone, Our dragon, Aztec, was just diagnosed with Giardia based on a fecal sample. He just came out of brumation and has been active and hungry. He doesn't have diarrhea or any symptoms. The vet said he looks fantastic. Where would he have gotten this? I know it can come from fecal...

I'm so excited! This is my first time submitting a photo of Aztec, and there he is!!! Info is correct. Will we be able to the specific calendar with our beardies in them? Great pix, everyone! What an attractive bunch!

We had a little photo shoot with our favorite Pilgrim, Aztec. :-) http://lizardmom.wordpress.com/

Hi everyone. I tried searching but didn't come up with the post I needed. I used to get superworm bedding premixed from an online source, but I've changed computers and email addresses and can't find the company. It was a great bedding/gutload mixture. Anyone know who it might be from...

Lexie, I bet Godzilla has been a handful if he's been in mating mode. We're probably a little luckier to have adopted a female, but the egg thing makes me nervous. I think we have another year or so before that may be an issue. The vet said some people have their igs spayed/neutered. We're...

Hi everyone, I just started a new blog for our lizards. We have our 4-year old bearded dragon, Aztec, and our 1 year old (and recent adoptee) green iguana, Inca. http://lizardmom.wordpress.com Enjoy!

I've started reading that site (and posting) before we got her. Inca went to the vet this week and is in great shape. Her fecal came back clear too! We're really enjoying her so much already. We have a new reptile blog: lizardmom.wordpress.com to share their antics.

Ok, I'm trying not to be too scared. I just took an iguana home from the humane society. He was abandoned when his family was evicted. My friend who works there contacted me right away, and I went to see him (not for sure, just easier to pick one pronoun). He's absolutely beautiful, very...

Hi. I've been asked to consider adopting an iguana who was evicted. We're going to build an indoor enclosure, but it'll take us a few weeks, and we'd have to take the iguana home soon. He/She is under 2 feet long. What is the best enclosure we could use until we can get a larger home...

Hi! I'm not sure if this is an acceptable post, but I'm having a hard time finding Rep-Cal Herptivite and Calcium (without D3 since we have an MVB) in our area. Are there online suppliers that you've had good luck with? I have plenty of suppliers that I like for the feeders, but we're running...

Mr Blue, I am truly sorry to hear of the latest torture you have been forced to endure. I can only surmise that the people are on to us. They must have discovered our secret dragon correspondence and are plotting against us. It sounds like the people are using the following torture...

Dear Mr. Blue, I have read your latest log and think that code names are in order. It seems that our communcation has been intercepted by others, although it seems to be kept within our species. I don't think that the people are on to us. I did hear of your tail-whipping story and have one...

Dear Tatsu, The reference material you sent to me was very enlightening. I am named after a group of people who used to sacrifice other people. My concern is that if we do succeed, how will we get our worms and squash? If it helps to know, I last weighed in at over 700 grams, so I should...

Dear Tatsu, I forgot to mention the latest in the heinous list of atrocities I have been forced to endure. Now the people are talking about bringing another beardie into my domain! They claim that I was so wonderful that they want to get another dragon. Don't they know that this is my house...

Dear Tatsu, After the abuse I have suffered over the last few months, I would like to enlist in your army to help with world domination. I have always been a very mellow dragon--I've never bitten anyone, I eat my salad, I sometimes poop in the right place, and I rarely complain about...
