Recently I've noticed what look like individual scales turning pale and flaky on my beardie's tail. I don't think it's any sort of rot, they look like normal shed, but it's also only one scale. If I touch them she flinches away and when they do fall off, the scale underneath doesn't seem fully...

This is really more of a general question than a very pressing one. I'm not really under the impression that any of my beardies have YF. I was just wondering, how can you tell if your beardie DOES have YF? Is it literally yellow, does it stick up, does it have a strange/different texture, ect? I...

As some of you already know, Spyro passed some time on Wednesday night. It's taken me some time to wrap my head around it, but I think I'm ready to write his memorial post. Spyro, You were only with me for a short time. You came to join me in May from your first home, broken and...

Hello all. This evening my little baby Spyro passed away, sometime between 5-8 pm when I was at work. Later I'll write up a memorial post when I can wrap my head around this, but right now I'd just like some input, as I've never lost a dragon before. For some background info, he was a rescue...

Does anybody own an All Living Things brand (Petsmart) half log hide? I believe they call them "Reptile Refugees". I just bought an XL one and realized I have no idea what type of wood it is, tried calling and checking the tag and the website, can't find anything. I know pine/cedar are toxic...

Hey everybody. I thought I would share this book on Amazon- it is all about rescue beardies. A portion of proceeds goes to a bearded dragon rescue! If you're familiar with "The Story of Cassie, The Little Beardie", on Facebook, this is right up your alley for sure. I know I'll be getting a copy...

Wizard, my new boy (?) was previously housed on wood chips. He is around 2.5 years old. I noticed his femoral pores looked sort of clogged up and his vent is very dirty. I've been bathing him daily and I'll gently wipe him down with a damp cloth if he will let me. His femoral pores seem like...

A few days ago Spyro launched off of my bed and landed pretty hard. Long story short, I took him to the vet and they think he has a bruised lung. They sent me home with some pain meds and told me to keep an eye on him. Well, he is really starting to worry me. He is walking weird, although a...

I was wondering... Can beardies tell the gender of another beardie just by looking at them? Do they know by smell? When my male sees my female does he even know shes a girl?

I was not planning on getting another beardie, but while scrolling through craigslist I found a little beardie who looked like he wanted to be my buddy :wink: His description read: "Nice lizard, never bites. He is 2.5 years old. I feed him live goldfish, three times a week. He also gets a...

I had to take Spyro to the vet last night because he fell, and I got sent home with some oral pain medication for him. I am supposed to give it every 24 hours, and the vet gave him his first dose at 6pm yesterday evening. I work almost every night between 5-8pm, so I won't be able to give it to...

My dragons are perfectly sweet to me, but they are still figuring each other out. They cannot see each other from their tanks and they have never ever been housed together, but if I take one out to play sometimes they can see each other. If this happens a very dramatic routine of head bobbing...

Has anybody here ever trained your beardie to do anything? Potty training, coming when called, or even tricks? I'm going to try and get mine to sort of "come when called", but I'll be using the noise of me snapping their feeding tongs open and shut instead. Any tips? Stories? Ideas?

I use Reptisafe water conditioner in all the water I use for my reptiles. Water dishes, spray bottles (I have some reptiles that need daily enclosure misting), and even baths. Do you use water conditioner for your beardies? Would it be safe to bathe them without it? That stuff can be pricey :roll:

Hello!! I have read that beardies will sometimes "gape" to cool down, much like a dog will pant. Do they do this only when they are too hot, or can they do it to regulate temperature at any time? I ask this because I have one beardie who will gape any time he is moved quickly to different...

Tank is 4ft long- should I get a 24", 36", or 48" UVB? Also, any idea on the wattage of the heat bulbs?

I ordered a shipment of 5 male and 10 female roaches and have had them for about 2 weeks- I am trying to start a feeder colony. Last night when I checked their food and water, I noticed a female pushing out an egg sac. Once they push that out, they are supposed to take it back and later give...

I was drinking a Naked Juice Mighty Mango smoothie and Spyro found the cap and licked all the juice off of it. Not a ton but I still feel like I should check. Ingredients are listed as: "MANGO PUREE, APPLE JUICE, ORANGE JUICE, BANANA PUREE, LEMON JUICE, NATURAL FLAVORS, BETA CAROTENE (VITAMIN...

I was helping Spyro get some shed off of his toes and I noticed his nails look very light. Are these the kind of clear nails you would see in a hypo dragon?
