    How can I make him more comfortable?

    Oscar (4 years old) has been in my home for exactly one month today. Just yesterday he started the arm waving thing at me. Most times a black beard goes along with it. While the arm waving is adorable, I'd like to know if there is anything I can do to make him feel more secure and...

    A question....just curious

    Oscar, my beardie rescue has been with me for 3.5 weeks now. Up until this point his beard color has always been grey. The last two days the beard color has been more yellow. I never noticed yellow spikes on his beard until the last 2 days. What does this color change mean? Is he just less...

    My blue tongued skink, Bubba.

    While I was photographing my beardie today, I thought I'd take one of my bluey as well and share him with you. This is Bubba. He is old. He has been living with me for 14 years and he was a full grown adult when I got him. So his exact age is unknown, but we do know he is old!

    I think he might like his new home!

    I think Oscar, the 4 year old beardie who came to me a week ago, must be feeling comfortable in his new home. Everyday about 3 hours after I have fed him, he starts scratching at the glass wanting to come out. The last few days he would sit in my lap for a little bit and I'd put him back and...

    sudden mouth gaping

    This evening I soaked Oscar in some warm water in a plastic tub. Worrying that the water would get too cold, I placed a low wattage heat lamp above the tub not thinking about the humidity it was going to create. He had also put his entire head under water while drinking which worried me. He...

    My rescue, we are calling him Oscar. Weight question.

    Ok, The beardie my husband brought home 4 days ago has been doing good. Eating real good and poops look to be good as well. As I said before, he is thin. I haven't trusted him to sit on the scale until today. I figured he was stressed the first few days and might panic and take off or...

    Beardie Feeding article in Reptiles Magazine 2013 annual

    I have had the Reptiles Magazine 2013 annual issue laying around here since last fall. Three days ago my husband brought home a 4 year old beardie that was no longer wanted by his original owner. I remembered there being an article on feeding beardies so I pulled it out just to look and see...

    Need opinions on condition of this rescue I took in

    This beardie was brought to me 2 days ago. I need your opinions because though I have been keeping herps for almost 20 years I have never kept beardies at all. This little guy is very alert, very active, and very curious. But also very skinny. His owner was a 16 year old boy and lately the...
