    Flyboy and his furry friend

    Back in March my family had to put our beloved Bruno to sleep who was with us for 12 years. He was a very big great dane x bullmastiff x ridgeback. He had a lovely temperament however he once confused my guinea pig with a chew toy... and so I never really let him interact with Flyboy in case he...

    Setting up a larger viv. Tips?

    I scored a great deal on eBay today for a brand new Reptile One Saburra 120cm vivarium with the cabinet stand for a wonderful price (viv alone is sold in stores for double of what I paid). I am very pleased! :D But there's a few things I'd like to do differently to my current set up when it...

    Issues with Flyboy [He's now getting better]

    I'm a bit worried about the recent behavior of Flyboy. A quick summary before going into more detail: - Harder urates - Little red sack, smaller than a pea, poked out while he was pooping twice this week and then went back in when he was finished - Eating less and less of everything - Is...

    Suddenly doesn't like back/sides being touched

    In the past few days my boy has been acting strange when I go to pick him up. He lifts his chest so I can scoop him up and don't have to touch his sides. If I do touch his sides, he kicks his leg at my fingers. He doesn't seemed stressed by it. Here is a video of the behaviour...

    Lost colour after shed

    My boy is on his 4th shed in the 4 months I've had him, and after every shed his colours have been bright and vibrant. This time though, I can't even tell he has shed! It's funny because I could see a lot of orange coming through when the scales initially started to go dull, but now there's...

    Flyboy

    Tomorrow marks 3 months since I got Flyboy (name inspired by a character from George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, I'm a bit of a horror buff). I got him on September 5th, 2013. He was 2-3 months old, so now 5-6 and just over 11 inches. I can't believe how much he's grown in that short amount of...

    Different looking poop - should I be concerned?

    Hi, my beardie's poop has looked consistent until this morning where it had spotty (?) urate, I am thinking possibly the crickets haven't digested properly? I was just wondering if anyone think it is something I should be concerned about? Here's a photo: http://i42.tinypic.com/11j553k.jpg...

    Basking rock - how hot is too hot?

    I'm talking about the surface of the rock itself. I've noticed mine getting very hot. It doesn't burn me when I touch it, but IMO seems a bit much for my beardie's belly. I've only got a wall thermometer (digital probe one on its way) so it might not be accurate but it was around 43c yesterday...

    First beardie

    Hello all, I got my first beardie on Thursday, a male juvi named Flyboy. He's in a 3ft enclosure (I got the whole start up package), with a 5.0 UVB tube and infrared heat lamp. For substrate, I am using recycled paper pellets. I was hesitant to use it but was assured it would be fine. I'm...
