I was able to get Spock in to see our vet and he was fine with doing an x-ray. No Eggs, a little poop, they did manage to get her to poop when we were there, but there wasn't anything unusual about it and there wasn't a whole lot there (we all figure it's because she just hasn't been eating)...

We had thought about he possibly being gravid, but the vet doesn't think that's it, as she's been going like this for about 2.5 months now. She's also not trying to dig, but we did buy a large bucket and put some moist sand in it to see if she'd dig and lay, but no dice. She has always...

We're still in a cycle of Spock not eating. No matter what we offer she just isn't interested. We give her a bowl of greens daily and replace them if they dry out during the day as well. We buy a mix of collard, mustard, turnip, and dandelion that we find available at the local grocery...

I started a Dubia colony back in Jan, it is thriving, but now Spock has gotten super picky and will only eat a Dubia once in a blue moon. Honestly she's not eating much of anything, but that's another post (she's been seen by a vet and is clean if parasites and her set up is spot on, she's...

In March Spock seemed to go into a semi-brumation, she was down for a week, we took her out to bath her, she was up for a week and then went back down again. We had trouble getting her to poop after she got back up again and took her to the vet. She had lost some weight (went from 304-277g) so...

We've always offered a variety of greens and squash along with some occasional fruit. She seems to not like fruit of any kind. We tried some endive and bok choy the last 2 days and she didn't want any part of either. Today she's now wolfed down two helpings of collard greens. I think we're...

Hi all, We've had Spock for about 11 months now, she's almost 16" long and now weighs about 317g. A little over a week ago we took her to the vet because she hadn't pooped in a month and was eating very little. Before that she went through what seemed to be a weird brumation. She was down for...

Sauzo, thanks for the response. She's our first dragon so we weren't sure what was up with the down for a week, then up, then down. Now when she was up she wasn't very active which was odd too. We're keeping close eye on her weight. Her UVB tube was bought on Nov 10th, so it's about 4...

We got Spock in May from petsmart. She wasn't doing well for a while and then we got her a bigger home (went from 20G to 40G breeder) and she perked up and grew like a weed. As of Early Feb she was 15.5" long and 296g. She has some nice rocks and a log in her tank (all stuff from the local...

Yep, took her to a local shop that has the best reptile guys ever working there and they confirmed that Spock is indeed a girl! :) She's really coming into her own personality wise and is such an awesome dragon. Isn't she beautiful!

Today was a weigh in and measurement day. Our little buddy is getting bigger. He's now 14" long and 201gms. Here's a funny photoshopped picture my husband took of him at Christmas time.

Well we took Spock to the vet and although it seemed his bacteria was off (they gave him a shot of what I believe is doxycyline) his parasite screen came back negative. We are still having pretty loose poops here. There are no undigested roaches anymore, but it looks like it's mostly water and...

Brandon, Thanks for the response. The temps were actually for the warm side from the floor all the way to the rock/log he sits up on. So that's for basically from where the cool zone ends to the very top of his basking spot. The area he lays in to bask was usually 108-112 for that area. Our...

Spock has had diarrhea for 2 days, my vet can't see him until Monday, and they won't do a fecal cytology until the vet sees him. Is there anything I can do over the weekend to try and help? The poo is very runny, not formed other than the white urates. You can see undigested roaches and...

We have great progress to report this month. Spock has grown 2" and gained 68gms past month. He's officially 12" long and weighs in at 105gms. He's finally eating his salads without being hand fed and boy oh boy does he love his dubias. We're going to move him to mediums soon now that the...

I just think until my colony gets up and running I'll have to order a bunch every 2-3 weeks and if some get to big for Spock to eat I'll just toss them in my breeder bin instead and let them grow

The best prices I've found have been from west coast roaches (which is actually in NC) but have to say that it can take a while for them to get the order ready to ship. The batch I got from Dubi Deli came in a bag not a deli container and were great but take longer to get here since they are on...

Thanks for the tip. I got my colony from West Coast Roaches, so I'll see what they have or maybe I'll check a few other places.

Thanks for chiming in. My colony is 35 roaches total, 25 females/10 males. I know I'll need more, but wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing and didn't want to buy a huge amount right off the bat and have them all die off.

Hello all, Spock seems to be getting more active lately. I'm amazed at how much he's eating. I posted in my Beardie Tales post that he's routinely eating his salads, which he wasn't before. This morning he ate about 8 pieces of collard each is about the size of a nickel as well as some...
