Rocky is half brumation now. He stays in the cool side facing the wall splayed out on his rock. All day long. Occasionally I see him turn his head and peer at me through the corner of his eye. He isn't completely asleep. I take him out once or twice a week for a warm soak so he will poop...

Rocky just turned 1 year old this September, Yay! And within a few days after his birthday he started to act a little differently. Appetite was down and he seemed more lazy. Then he started going over to the cooler side and would climb up his rock and face the wall. At first when he did this...

Beardies are so funny! They are creatures of habit and routine. Whenever it is around the time Rocky gets his live feeders I can always find him facing the door of his viv looking out to see if he can catch my eye. He also knows what feeders I am getting him by the direction my body goes...

]Just redid my live viv and while lots of folks contributed to my original set up such as Pangea, LLL Reptiles, Bugsincyberspace, and Joshs Frogs...I wanted to give an Shout Out to Mike at NEHERP for all his guidance and help putting it together! Plus their awesome products for vivariums! Here...

Rocky's tropical neighbor Petrie, my new crested gecko, has gotten a vivarium make over! It is a LIVE vivarium and very exciting to make. So different from setting up a dessert tank for my beardie Rocky! After setting up my live viv the first time, I deconstructed it all and redid it all...

Eureka! Success! I had an excellent session tonight with my new crested gecko, Petrie!!!! Normally he is like the Road Runner and just zips off whenever he senses my finger getting closer and begins twitching that tail threatening to drop it. But tonight, he was overall much calmer and...

Okay, so I made a decision I would not adopt another beardie so I can spoil my Rocky and give him my attention. BUT, I didn't say I wouldn't consider adopting another reptile...(hope my husband isn't reading this! LOL) So I am curious as to what other folks have on the forum aside from...

I wanted to get some feedback on whether or not Reptaid is a better option for dealing with Coccidia than Albon. My vet has put Rocky on the Albon for the Coccidia but I have heard that there has been some negative effects from it, and that many breeders prefer Reptaid. Any advice on this...

Poop 4 was a squirty and wet as all the others except this time it occurred the next day rather than a few days inbetween...and it was not egged on by any pumpkin. Rocky started getting excited when I was putting his dubias in his dish and I guess it got him worked up for the 4th messy &...

Rocky was adopted about two weeks ago via Dragons4You...I have a thread with his travels and such...he has been having very sporadic poops...3 total poops since he has arrived. First looked like a cow patty, wet but not runny and it was about 4 days of back up...next was about 3 days later and...

Just when you thought Rocky movies were over...surprise a new star is about to emerge! Rocky #12! Hi, I am still a juvie on the forum, but have already felt so welcomed by the members and administrators that I feel like folks here are family. Pogi was my baby beardie I adopted about 4 mths...

After his diagnosis last week of septic arthritis, and a new round of coccidia...I was wary about his prognosis. It was taking him a long time...almost two hours...for him to get himself out of his sleeping area and over to his basking spot. I was having to give him his worms because he just...

I just noticed that Pogi's back left leg appears to be lame. I have seen him dangling it from his basking tree but just thought he was letting it hang down. But then I noticed how he hasn't been bending it or trying to grip anything with his nails on that foot. At closer inspection he is...

I bought a small container of dubias from repticom expo about three weeks ago. the guy told me I could keep them in their original container and just toss a carrot, potatoe and dog food pellets in there once in awhile to keep them feed and alive. I thought sounds easy enough. But now I'm...

What are the 'sweet spots' on beardies? I believe all animals have them...you know, the spot that when you touch it they don't want you to stop! I believe Pogis is on his brow above his eye and down towards the side of his face. Whenever I stroke that area he will close his eyes and tilt his...

Not sure if this is typical behavior but Pogi did something funny today. I put his greens in his tank n noticed a little while later that some were scattered about. I was glad to see he was investigating his greens. I picked up the pieces that were scattered so I could continue to know when he...

Good news and bad news. Good news is at his recent recheck, Pogi has gained 4 more grams! So he is averaging about 2 grams a week. Not sure what the growth chart should be, but I felt pretty good about hearing that he was still growing. Bad News...still has the coccidia. On a positive note...

So I thought Pogi was out of the woods. He has had two weeks of treatment for Pinworms and three dose treatments for cocidia. After his first round of he pinworm treatment his fecal was negative and I guess the coccidia was no longer elevated. But they gave me the second round of pinworm...

I wanted to know what you all recommend for keeping track of the temps & humidity levels in the tank. I have those goofy gauges that stick on plus I have a point and click Zoomed digital reader...but I'd like something more consistent. I do have that Exoterra large 38x18x18 tank that comes...

Okay, I get it. Beardies need to eat veggies when they are young since their diet becomes greener as they get older, right? But not all beardies 'like' to eat veggies. Like my Pogi. I realize it has only been a couple of weeks...and he is still recovering from a bout of pinworms...but I get...
