My daughter has a female crestie , she turned 1 yr old last May . My daughter would like to add another but I am concerned that they may not get along . I was thinking of getting an older one to be sure it is also a female . It this possible to add another and have them live together in the same...

a little hard to see with the shedding.But the side of his mouth stick out a bit further than the top .He does still get insects at least every other day , supers , butter worms & hornworms are his favorite but he will also sometimes have dubia , silk worms or a wax worm here and there . His...

For some reason Jim seems to shed his lower jaw and neck more than the upper jaw and head . This started in spring when he came out of his slow down . It seems like the bottom jaw is getting slightly longer than the upper . It is not really a big difference , just a little off when viewed from...

I had thought that Jim would not grow much more since his winter slow down . I had been told that since he was the size of an adult when he was about 10-11 months old that he should not grow much more . Just for fun I weighed and measured him today . He has grown an inch since May ( now 22in)...

Yes , he will run around the room and sit on my son as he plays . Same as he always has . Still gets his daily bath which he likes and will sometimes splash around . he nibbles his greens and has some live feeders ( a changing variety of - supers , wax , horn , butters , dubia ) every evening ...

Jim has a large hide / basking platform in his 40 g breeder tank since last Sept . He has only used the hide once that I have seen . And that time he was half in / half out of it , then later came out to bask again. Today after warming up he went into his hide and has been there all morning ...

Jim usually puffs up every morning within an hour of his lights coming on. i just consider it part of his morning wake up stretching routine .

This beetle was still a light reddish brown .

I was doing a deep clean of Jim's cage and noticed a little hole / tunnel in the bottom of his basking platform . It seems a stray super had tunneled into the styrofoam a while back and recently come back out when it turned into a beetle . I found the beetle hiding under the platform when I...

Jim is 16 months old and about 21-22 inches.

They have been hard since Feb , sometimes the outside was softer with a harder inside . But now they are all hard . Sometimes there is a tint of orangish near the end of the urate before the poop begins , but not everytime . When he gets a bath he will drink a bit if I do not drop some on his...

The UVB is 8 1/2 inches from the basking spot , so with him sitting there he is no closer than the 6 inches . Yes, I have given him hormworms , but the urates were still harder then normal . He would have 1 a day for about 2 weeks and there was no difference . I am going to buy another...

I am going to try this again , if anyone has any ideas please let me know . Jim only poops once a week now , he is 14 months old , 21in long and 525g . He has a repti sun 10 , gets a 20 min bath daily . I measure his temps with a gun and his basking platform I try to keep around 105 . His...

What problem could be caused by being too close to a uvb bulb ( repti-sun 10)? I know they can have eye issues but is there anything else ? Could being too close be the cause of hard urates?

During Jim's piggy stage he would average eating 50-60 1/2 in crickets a day .

So Jim turned 1 yr in March . I have been trying so hard to not freak out over all the little things he does . But I have some questions . He had slowed down a great deal in Nov , not a full brumation but what others have said is a winter slow down . He eats little but basks and runs around...

I had been looking around on other sites ( forums and some breeders) and had noticed that most said that urates are supposed to be somewhat hard not soft or liquid . That it is totally normal as long as they are white. Any opinions?

I realize that all beardies are different and may all behave differently . But I was wondering about winter slow downs . Do they come out of it as the days get longer or is it more of a temperature thing ?

They were not hard when he had his fecal done . It has just been the last few weeks . He is not eating very much right now due to a winter slow down . He does get a 20 minute bath every day and even drinks while in the bath .
