    Recurring growths in mouth, vet is stumped

    My vet and the pathologist are stumped as to what is going on with Phoenix, so I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else has had this problem... Phoenix is 3 years old, I've had her since she was a baby. In February of 2016 she yawned and we noticed a giant (like the size of a grape) growth...

    Post brumation behavior

    Phoenix woke up from brumating near the end of March, and for several weeks was glass dancing, digging, basking, and generally very active. She didn't really eat much during those few weeks, perhaps a few bites of veggies and 3-5 superworms per week. From what I understand, this is usual after...

    T5 vs T8

    It is almost time for me to get a new UVB bulb, and I am looking at replacing the fixture as well since it doesn't satisfy me at the moment. Since I'm replacing both the fixture and the bulb, I thought I might look into the high output bulbs while I'm at it, but I am confused about the...

    Accidentally ate paper towel...

    On Monday evening I was feeding Phoenix and she went for a cricket and ate a piece of paper towel about the size of a nickel with it. She likes to shred her paper towels by digging. I try to take out all the shredded pieces before I feed her but I guess I missed one this time and I couldn't get...

    Is she trying to brumate?

    Hello! I have a 6.5 month old bearded dragon who seems like she'd sleep all day if I'd let her. I'm still new to the reptile world so I just want to check if I should be concerned or not. Around a month ago I switched from reptile carpet to tile. Around the same time she started trying to dig...

    questions about juvenile, digging and excavating clay...

    What is the consensus on the Excavating Clay? Is it safe or is it dangerous like sand? I was thinking of doing a combination of tile and the clay, so I could build a bit more interesting terrain for Phoenix. Also to give her something to dig in since she doesn't like the dig boxes I've given her...

    more than relocation stress?

    We moved April 26 and Phoenix hasn't eaten properly since then. She's had maybe 40 crickets, 100 phoenix worms and 20ish butterworms over the past 10 days. Also a couple bites of collard greens here and there. Her set up and diet is right according to this website. We've moved before and it took...

    Hunger strike...

    We moved to a new place on April 26 and Phoenix has not been eating properly at all. Her last day of proper eating was the 26th and since then she has only eaten a couple of butter worms and phoenix worms. She has zero interest in crickets (convenient seeing as I just got my order of 500 in...

    British Columbians!

    I want to make crickets a secondary feeder and use worms (butter and/or phoenix) as primary feeders because crickets are annoying and gross and smelly and I hate buying them in bulk. I also don't want to break the bank paying for the worms and I am having trouble finding anyone who ships to BC...

    Does anyone know where I can find Phoenix Worms in bulk that will ship to Canada-Vancouver, BC specifically? I am looking to switch my primary feeder from crickets to worms because crickets are gross and annoying but I am having trouble finding Phoenix worms for less than ~$13.00 for 100 medium...

    Question about heat lamps and color...

    According to the Newbies Guide the heat lamp should be a bright white light, color temperature of 4000-5000 kelvins. I searched Home Depot high and low with no luck. I eventually gave up and went to the pet store for a white lamp to replace my red (as I have found out red is no good). ALL of the...
