So Harley is 5 years old and overweight. I had her to the vet early last week. The vet took xrays and did a blood test. She said there was no impaction or broken bones and that her calcium level seemed a little elevated. She originally was just not using 1 leg. She also does not poop unless you...

First off, thanks AHBD for all the help. Well after about a week and a half of me sweatin bullets and worrying about Harley, she finally laid eggs this morning. 23 infertile ones and now she is back to her pancake lazy self. Gave her a nice long warm soak and she drank some water, played around...

Ok so from my other thread of active and peeing, looks like my 4 year old beardie girl is going to lay eggs. So i guess i need a lay box but I'm not sure exactly how it works. I read the thread of setting one up but do i just put my beardie in there and leave her there for a few days? Or do i...

Ok so i got a question. I've had my beardie just over 4 years since a baby and the past week or so, she has been REALLY active and dropping little dollops of urate a few times a day. She also has been dropping a little poop every day. She hasnt eaten in probably 5 days or so since she has been...

I've been using the Zoo Med Reptisun 10.0 T5 HO for a while now but recently they have been hard to find locally. Seems most carry the Zilla Desert 50 T5. Anyone use these? Are they any good? Has anyone used a solarmeter on one? I would prefer to buy locally as I don't want to run the risk of a...

Ok so I've Harley almost 2 years and she has been great except not eating veggies. Anyways back in November she got RI so I took her into the vet. I had blood work done, a mouth culture and the vet did some kind of listening machine hooked up to Harleys chest and said there was no pneumonia. So...

As the title says, I'm wondering if it's too close. I'm used to T8s and from the research I did, most people are saying 10-12 inches for T5 and from a thread I found, a gal did some testing on them with a solarmeter and found at 8 inches with a reflector, the light put out 286 at 8 inches and...

Ok so my Harley went to the vet yesterday and had bloodwork, mouth culture, checkup, some kind of lung monitoring thing and was told she has URI but not pneumonia as her lungs sounded good. She seems fine as in she eats, poops, is alert etc etc but I was worried since she did cough a few times...

My question is if I handled a reptile with URI and I washed my hands, can my reptiles gets get URI from my clothing? I'm worried because I handled a lizard with URI and it was sitting on me and when I got home, I washed my hands and stuff and then plopped down on the couch with the same clothing...

As some of you might have read my thread in the health section, I weighed Harley today and she is fat! No way to sugar coat it. She is 1.3 years, 17-17.5 inches and 610 grams! She is the cutest little girl but she is lazy and loves hers bugs and doesn't love the veggies. My question is how do...

Ok so I just weighed Harley because she looks really chubby. She has what I would call a quadruple chin :P Anyways, she is 17 inches long and weighs 610 grams. I'm mostly wondering because when she sleeps and has her head down, it's like her quadruple chin gets in the way and you see her beard...

Let me start off by saying Harley is 1.3 years old and has always not been a huge fan of veggies. She will eat about 4-5 pieces of collard/mustard/dandelion greens a day but she loves her dubias/hornworms/silkworms. Well the past week she has decided greens aren't good anymore and will only eat...

I've been reading all this positive posts about Reptaid. I've been thinking of getting some for Harley as just a "supplement" to use a few days at the beginning of every month just to keep things running smooth. I was probably just going to inject it into dubias as she loves those things. My...

Ok, so with it being summer now, I decided to take Harley outside. The last 3 or 4 times we go outside, she is petrified. She gets that scared eye look and black beards, pancakes and opens her mouth. She wont move but the minute I bring her back inside the house, she is back to her cuddly...

As the title says, does anyone soak alfalfa pellets in water? I was thinking this might give a good source of water as well as softening the pellets for the roaches.

Ok so I had my windows open and was cleaning the house and as I walked past Harleys cage I noticed a wasp fly by me. It flew into Harleys cage and starting bouncing off her UVB tube. Well before I could act, Harley spotted it and did a flying leap off her ledge and grabbed the wasp in mid flight...

Well im starting to plan out Harleys new cage and im debating on whether I should get a 48x30x18 or 48x24x24. Im using a MVB so my concern is the height of 18 inches not being the needed 12 inch distance. Any of you guys out there got either of these size cages and got any input on the pros and...

I've been thinking of giving Harley some hornworms as a variety to her dubias,butterworms and silkworms but I've heard mixed responses of whether they bite or not. So anyone know for sure if they do bite or can hurt a dragon? I've heard people say they break the mandibles with tweezers and read...

Anyone else have their dragon do this? Harley just started today. She ate her normal breakfast of collard and dandelion greens and a few dubias. After she was done, she basked for a few then started licking/picking at the basking rocks and digging at them. She also stands up on all 4 legs really...

As the title says, i'm wondering if anyone knows a good beardie vet in the Seattle Washington area. I've checked the Herpvetconnection but that was last updated in 2008 so i'm looking for a more updated list. It's getting close to Harleys time for a checkup and figure I might as well start...
