    Black discoloration around eye/chapped lips

    Hey all, haven't been on in a while. But I have some cause for concern. Ju is around 10 months now. As of late, two black patches have showed up around his eye and modem one looks like it has a cement shape groove to it. His lips are also very pinkish from being chapped or dry. We've dabbed...

    Sudden bluff agression :/

    If anyone has followed JuJus story over on Beardie tales, you'll know that Yes spoiled and the baby. We had a little sibling rivalry when my husband rescued a rabbit for me. Now they are OK with each other. Well we added a new edition thanks to Denver Repticon. Now Jax (2 yr old spotted python )...

    Curbing "sibling rivalry"?

    When we got JuJu he was (still is) our baby and were babied him mercilessly (still do). To date he's been with us for....2-3 months now. 2 weeks or so ago my husband brings home a female rabbit for me that was a rescue. Poor thing was supposed to be snake chow but only escaped at the cost of...

    Blood in stool freaking out!

    This morning we put Ju in his normal window spot to enjoy the sun. It was hot enough to make him move his bowels on his pillow. When I picked it up, I noticed a small blob of blood next to it (not in his urates or really in the poop). The paper towel I used did indeed confirm blood. I called the...

    "cheaper", larger reptisun uvb tubes?

    We have a 40g 36x18x18 (we plan on upgrading probably in the next 6 mos or so) but we need a bigger uvb tube and no one carries above a 24 in. I would at least like to get a 32-36 in mounted into JuJus viv. Does anyone have any good websites that sell that size UVB tube for a decent price...

    How often to give herptivite?

    Finally! I found it a little cheaper (19+ most places) and bought some herptivite (same company that makes rep-cal ). We also use rep-cal three times a week on dinner feedings. I read the back of the herptivite and it said mix with rep-cal; but manufacturing caused the break down of the beta...

    Pellets as intermittent feeders?

    Curious query. Ju jas been on a feeding frenzy lately and it take 2-3 days (sometimes 4 thanks to the wonderful postal system)for our dubi order to arrive. Would pellets and veggies be ok for the couple of day supplemental feedings?

    40g to small?

    We have a 3 ft x 17 in x 2.5 ft 40G tank. Now that we've started actively furnishing Jus viv I feel like it's too small for him to actually grow in. The question is..is it too small and how much bigger should we go?

    Meet JuJu **4/4 we're growing like a weed! pg5**!

    To make a long story short, my husband and I purchased our first BD back in early January. It certainly hasn't been without it's trials and tribulations (lighting, No appetite, etc). But since JuJu is back to his normal babied "love me" self, we figured we finally introduce him: ). From JuJus...

    Artic weather and warm viv?

    Like most people here, we've had artic temps all week (-12 and dropping ). Ju lives in a 40 gal (tall) viv that heats fine when it's warm but is a bugger to heat when it's freezing outside. I've tried running both domes, my deep dome and my CHE. But nothing really gets it past mid 90s. I have my...

    How to further help shedding?

    Ju is on his second she'd since we've had him. Poor thing is shedding and trying to scrub off the skin. We bathe him three times weekly but seeing him trying to scratch is kind of pathetic. So is there anything we can out in viv that's safe to scratch on and will get the skin sloughed off.

    Still only "picks at food".

    We've had this problem before and it went away, it's back again, this time with a vengeance. It's been two weeks since JuJu has eaten what I what I would consider fully. He's 10 inches long and a steady 37-38 g (I weigh him every morning before he eats). We've tried small crickets, medium...

    sleeping somewhere out of the norm?

    Other than the eating bit, now JuJu is sleeping in her little house. In the three weeks we've had her She's never done it. She's always slept under her lamp on her basking tree or on top of her house. We don't know if it's because it's cold(it snowed the night before and got down to 4 degrees...

    will this kick ever stop??

    Our beloved beardie is around 4 months and a proverbial pain the butt. She goes through periods of where she "starves" herself, at least for crickets. At first it concerned us, but everyone we talked to (even the vet) told us it was just a phase; kind of like what human toddlers do. We started...

    sand whipping?

    We just recently purchased reptile sand for our juvie, and needless to say She's happy as a clam. However, she whips the sand with her tail. We can't figure out if itsa tactic to stir up crickets, as a form of play or fighting with her reflection?

    Tomatoes?

    So we have a picky juvie who had eating issues a week ago. We were told to offer a variety So we do. We have a fruits/veggies /greens list on the fridge for her. She seems to Ike veggies (carrots) and we read today from two sources that she could have tomato. So...my question is is tomato safe...
