I wanted to post about my situation with Narley in case anyone faces a similar situation with their dragons. When I first purchased Narley (from a highly reputable breeder), he struggled to use the restroom and would only go once every 3-4 days. The vet determined that he had parasites, but...

Pushkin has been up from brumating for about a month, but he's still not eating. Most days, he'll eat nothing. Sometimes I can get him to eat a single wax worm or a blueberry, but otherwise, he just won't eat. :( He's SUPER active, though! He practically refuses to stay in his tank - he's...

Pushkin has been brumating for over 2 months now (off and on at the beginning, and deeply for the past 1.5 months). He'll wake up every now and then, but won't really eat and won't go to the bathroom. He woke up today, and I have him out with me on the couch. He has coughed several times - at...

My older beardie, Pushkin (he's about 1 year old, maybe 14-16 months) has been brumating off and on since around October. Over the past month or so, he's been in deep brumation, but wakes up about once a week and kind of pokes out of his blanket. I'll bathe him when he does wake up and try to...

Another health post about Narley, sadly. He has had nothing but problems since he came to me in August. One of my chief concerns since the day I got him has been his chronic diarrhea and difficulty going to the bathroom. I had him treated for (and supposedly cured of) coccidia, but he still...

Those of you who have multiple male dragons - do you have to keep them in separate rooms? Mine are currently in separate rooms, but I am moving into a new townhouse soon, and would love to be able to keep both tanks in the guest room. However, they both puff up and head bob when they are around...

Narley has been shedding his tail over the past couple days, but yesterday, I noticed that something didn't look quite right with the tip. He finished shedding that portion today so I was able to get a better look, and it has me a bit concerned. What do you guys think? Does it warrant a vet...

Okay - first, history. My dragon Pushkin was diagnosed with coccidia, but incorrectly weighed at 130 grams (he was 430 - the vet assistant didn't work the scale correctly, I didn't have a sense of how much he should be). He was given .2ml doses, which didn't work (because of the wrong weight)...

This breaks my heart! Beautiful beardie, they say... so thin and looks like horrible MBD. :( http://charlotte.craigslist.org/for/4642800208.html

I posted this in his intro thread, but I thought I would post here too in case no one sees it there. Picked up this little guy yesterday, and noticed that his finger has some dark spots - not sure what they are? Could they be from a bite? Retained shed? Should I be worried or do anything about it?

People always seem surprised by how smart/affectionate bearded dragons are when I tell them. I was surprised too! I'd love to hear stories from all of you about your dragons and things they do that surprised you! One example of Pushkin - about 3 days ago, I started putting his dubia in a...

Introducing… nameless! Pushkin (the guy in my signature) has a new brother, coming next Saturday! The breeder is going to be showing at Repticon in my city, so I bought him online and will be picking him up in person there. He is a hypo citrus, approximately 12 inches long. :) Any thoughts on...

You have to see for yourself! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l31mY1U_Bqo :D

So Pushkin has coccidia. :( I had a feeling something was wrong and his poop has been smelling HORRIBLE for a couple weeks. I'm going out to pick up medicine today. Any tips you can offer on dealing with parasites?

I'm looking at getting an enclosure for another bearded dragon and I came across this - I really like it, but there is no way to mount the UVB on the inside (that I can see) so it would have to go on top in a hood. The height is only 16 inches, so it wouldn't be too far up… but I am wondering...

Hey all! Pushkin is about 15.5 inches long, and I ordered 7/8 inch dubias for him - they are pretty big though. He still eats a lot of them - he can chow down on 20-30 at once, easily. Just not sure if I should order smaller next time for digestion? Here's a pic with him and his meal! (He's...

Hey all! I'm thinking of getting a second dragon within the next couple months, but I'm trying to decide whether to get a girl or a boy. I have a juvenile male already (they'll be housed separately, of course), but I've never had a female. Anything you can offer that might sway me one way or the...

Hi all! I want to purchase another bearded dragon in the next couple of months, but I'm thinking that two enclosures are going to take up a lot of space in my small apartment, so I'd like to find some somewhat affordable stackable 42-48 inch homes. Any suggestions? Building is out of a question...

First, I know to never house beardies together and I know that they need to be closely monitored if they are out together - so no worries! I am planning to get another beardie at Repticon in August and I am just curious about how well adult beardies tolerate each other for short periods of time...

Just curious as no one else I know has one (aside from a few people at Petsmart) and most of my friends/family are nervous to even touch Pushkin! So just out of curiosity, how did YOU get into these awesomely cute pets? :) A friend of mine bought Pushkin as an impulse buy at Petco, and later...
