Update: Well,,,, continuing baths do not seem to be going anywhere. No worse for sure, and he's nice and clean, and his thighs are all supple and soft, but the pores show no improvement. Thanks for the link to the video. I have seen that one before and it's been in my mind to try it. That's...

Hi; Decided to move from a topic in general (beardie has claws under middle). Have decided based on that topic that the subject Beardie (JL) is a male (was thought to be female for the previous 6 years). Have also decided JL has large femoral pores and 4 of them have visible waxy substance...

Update: JL is starting to not enjoy bathes. His femoral pore area is nice and supple, and does not show any sign of infection, but the 4 pores with the waxy feeling protuberance do not appear to be getting smaller, or softer, basically no change. The longest one, when you wiggle it, can be...

Thank you "AHBD", that sounds like a plan! Will pop up progress report in a week or so with update. cheers! cjack

Hi Responders; Indeed, they do look like those in the link. Main difference is 2 of them seem really long, like his toenails. Actually his toenails are shorter. I did upload 2 pics, now all I have to do is figure out what to do with them... https://www.beardeddragon.org/media/31297/full...

Lets see if this works. That part about "protrusions" suddenly makes me wonder, maybe my she is a he. :) JL is in her / his cave,,,,, getting JL out is sort of like starting a war, so if you wouldn't mind waiting, I'll post a pic tomorrow. That assumes I can figure out how.

Hi MrPhuzz; Your set up will work fine to get you going. You will go through the growing pains and eventually find what works for you. Don't get all wrapped up in science, don't over think it. Doobies have been around for millions of years, they aren't going anywhere. I started with a...

Probably fruit fly larva. Icky things. The warmth and moisture bring them out and they will spawn in a heartbeat. I have a Dubia colony, and just yesterday spent 2 hours transferring the Dubias to another enclosure because suddenly the active enclosure had a crop of tiny little fruit flys...

Hi; I've been feeding my Beardie (JL) Dubias for about 4 years now. She also gets greens daily. Someplace I read 1 doobi is equivalent to 5 or 6 crickets. JL is cyclic, sometimes she can eat like a hog and other times she's just not that much into it. In general she gets 2 or 3 doobies a...

Hi All; Haven't been on here in years, but today I discovered something new to me, so must post. Nice and warm now, and beardie (JL) has just begun a nice molt. For the first time ever, JL was sitting in the water dish today, never seen this to date. So I took her (pretty sure she's a her)...

My Beardie, JL, is a bit over 2 years old now. He tips the scales at about a pound, and he's 18" long, as best as I can measure. For the last year I have been taking him outside on occasion, usually a couple times a week, except when it's too cold. When he was younger I used a leash, with a...

Thanks for the info, I'll press on with that plan! I've started leaving some vegees laying on his feeding area after he decides he's full. He's started eating them later when I'm not looking, sort of like he's sneaking a treat. What a character.

Zax; Hahahahahaha,,,, that Rocky is a hoot for sure! Lovely markings on his belly & future beard! (which I saw in the 2nd video). He reminds me of JL's antics when he was a youngster. They sure are fast, and no in-between speed, it's either 0 or 100. Anyway, rock attack similar, although...

Zaxtor; Q1 - UV is reptilite fluorescent, UVB 10 if I recall correctly Q2 - No Q3 - No Q4 - it's the only one he has chewed on, he's got some brick pieces he likes to sit on and drape his tail over, and rub on once in awhile, but the sandstone piece is the only one I've seen him bite at. He...

Thanks for the reply! The rock is pretty innocuous, oval sandstone, like most chunks of sandstone it is uniform in color, and has weathering, has some fracture lines running through it horizontally. You know, regular ole Texas sandstone. Overall color is essentially the same, the only "spot"...

My beardie has changed some behavior patterns recently, one strange activity that has started up about a week ago is walking up to a small oval sandstone rock in his enclosure and licking and biting at it for a bit, then he leaves it alone. This goes on maybe every couple days, for a few...

Hi All; First post, have beardie (JL) who is a bit over a year old. Suddenly he is changing his likes about eating, I'm trying to figure out what to do next. He has eaten crickets happily up till now, as of about the last 2 weeks, it's "cricket, meh". He still likes superworms, but mostly...
