    Leopard Gecko care questions

    I heat my tank with a heat mat and heat bulb both on the hot side. I use a regular dimmer plug in from a DIY store for the light. Dusting once a week or every other day is just fine. They need calcium because there isn't enough in their usual diet. They need the D3 with it because this is...

    Just wondering if this is normal....

    Had my leo for 10 years, and yes she slows down her eating in the winter. I live in the UK so it gets pretty cold here, I have her lamp on full and heat mat in winter. She's my greedy baby and usually eats 2 or 3 times a week if needed. I usually feed her once a week to keep her weight down as...

    Pinworms, now what?

    Hi, I've owned quite a few pets and never, luckily had to deal with a parasite infection before. I would like some help and tips on cleaning and for him to not catch them again. We now obviously have vet bills and other bills so we are on tight budget. I can't just buy a steam cleaner and...

    Weird eye movement?

    Haha, we just thought that all this beard business is because he's a young male. He's been grumpy over the past week or so but before he made a beard display every morning. So my partner thought he was getting ready lol!! Glad to know it's normal. It looks really weird! Brons has very light...

    Concerned about parasites

    That's a good idea, I'm gonna get him one of those plastic boxes for his bathing now. The bath was creeping me out. Would it be safe though? I haven't taken a bath since we got him here. We've only showered. So I don't get worried now is that okay? I've just heard loads of people put them...

    Weird eye movement?

    After bathing our dragon Bronson, he did some very strange behavior, leading up to the weirdest thing I've seen! He was pretty grumpy in the bath. Then when back in his viv, we fed him. 2 crickets ad water cress. He was ravenous for both and was cramming down his veg. He kept picking only...

    Concerned about parasites

    Taterbug: Thanks for such a detailed reply. I'm in the UK, and I don't know if there is by mail fecal checks but the vet I went to is an exotic vet and they offered it to me. I will sort out a way to get it to them though, I really need him checked. To be honest me and my partner have been...

    Concerned about parasites

    Hi I posted previously about my Dragon Bronson http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=203973 He had been having on/off runny poops. Sometimes with blood. About a month ago (around the time of my original post) I took him to the vet. (apart from suspected parasites he is...

    Possibly sick dragon, need help :(

    Again I thank everyone who has helped on this forum. He seemed to improve for a day, and this morning I found him sleeping in his diarrhea. He likes to sleep propped up against the glass. I took the following photos because I'm getting really worried now and I can't travel to the vet until...

    Possibly sick dragon, need help :(

    Thanks for the suggestion. I've had Leo's for more than 10 years so I'm not a beginner to handling. He just seems to fight like heck getting him out of the viv, once he's out he seems tamer. I try my hardest to support his belly and limbs. When we take him out for a bath or otherwise, he just...

    Possibly sick dragon, need help :(

    @Jaskotch I will be getting a brand new light and reflector in a week or so. His whole set-up was lack luster to say the least. When we have more money we'll be getting him things like branches, fake plants and a hammock to make his whole place more comfortable. @amsmith5297 I think I agree...

    Possibly sick dragon, need help :(

    He is improving. He had two days of pooping lots with liquid around it (this was clear) and the pink urates was happening during this week. But now he's gone back to normal movements. I agree he did look very 'sunken' yesterday so I gave him some water from my finger. He took countless drops...

    Baby Beardie Both Eyes Closed

    I'm sorry for your loss. If you're interested in getting an adult I recommend rescuing an unwanted pet. I did recently and it's been very rewarding.

    Possibly sick dragon, need help :(

    Hi, thanks for such a quick reply! I didn't know the quality of viv I was getting until my partner literally brought it home! It was very poor with heavily soiled reptile carpet, no furniture apart from bowls, low down UV fitting with no reflector and a thermostat that hasn't worked since day...

    Possibly sick dragon, need help :(

    Hi, I'm new here and didn't get replies on other forums and I really need help. My partner decided to bring home an unwanted bearded dragon for me 2 months ago. I told him not to adopt someone else's pet and I asked for health history and got "he's never been to the vets" well brilliant...
