Loki was 7 years old and he would have lived for a few more years I am sure if that tumor did not get the best of him. Goodbye my sweet guy. You will be missed. :(

I have yet to make a decision on what I am going to do... whether to let him go naturally or have him put down. Tracie, to answer you questions... No the vet was never able to remove the tumor in its entirety. Part of the tumor was attached to his chest wall. At the time of his last vet visit...

For the past year or so Loki has been battling a reoccurring tumor in his side. He has had 3 surgeries to remove the growth and each time within months it has returned. After his last surgery, I made the decision to let nature run it's course. Please don't judge me harshly by making this...

Good to know... Thanks!

Does anyone know if this is OK to feed as a regular everyday veggie? I bought a bunch of it at the grocery store the other day because their collards and mustard greens looked really old and wilted. Turns out Loki really likes it! I checked the beautiful dragon feeder website but did not see it...

Thanks...

I noticed a couple weeks ago that the growth Loki had removed back in April of 2009 has returned with a vengeance! I'm not even exaggerating when I say the thing almost grew back overnight. I had been watching it closely and now it's almost as big as a walnut. I'm feeling very concerned because...

That's an idea, but I'd like to at least try to deal with the zoo directly at first. I sent them an email last night. Let's see if I get a reply.

Joanne, I wish I had said something. I'm so non-confrontational. I wish I wasn't. I am going to write an email to them tonight though for all the good it will do.

As far as the condition of some pet store reptiles goes, I'm not even surprised anymore. But this is a very nice zoo. All of the other animals, from what I could see, appeared healthy and well cared for. Why this beardie was neglected, I have no idea. If it was a giraffe or zebra or camel or...

My family and I visited a zoo in Palm Desert last weekend and in one of the enclosures in the reptile house was this poor little beardie. He is on what appeared to be sand or dirt, had iceburg lettuce and carrots for food. No UVB lighting. No basking area. And what's up with his back legs? MBD...

My beardie has been in her log sleeping since before Thanksgiving. I miss her, but I know this is normal for her. She did the same thing last year. If you know your beardie is healthy, just let him do what he wants to do. If you see your beardie up and about, there is no harm in offering food...

Let him out in a beardie proof room if you can. He wants out! :D :blob5: :D :blob5: :D :blob5:

Hi Dracosmommy! Congrats to you on your new leo too! :blob8:

Cute Leo Jess! Don't you just love how they always look like they are smiling! :mrgreen: That's in interesting looking substrate. Is that shelf liner that looks like wood grain? Here is a pic of Nico.

Here is a picture of her I took today. I had just brought her inside. It's a nice warm day today, and she got a lot of sunshine. Her beard appears to always have some black in it whether she is in her tank of not. Right now its speckled black and orange yellow. I fed her about 5 supers today as...

Hi, Thanks for your help.

I am using a Repti-Sun 10.0 fluorescent, and I replaced it back in February. I replace the bulb every year. She gets lots of outside time in the summertime, so she gets a lot of natural light. In the fall and winter, she's in her cage more so I replace the bulb. The bulb is approx. 8" away from...

Her beard lately is a bit dark most of the time. I think the darkness and the droopyness came on very gradually, and I really didn't notice anything was changing about her appearance until I was looking through some of her old photos the other day. She seems healthy to me otherwise. She has a...

Here are some recent photos taken in the past couple weeks. The photo in my signature was taken about 3 years ago I think. I use the Rep-Cal multivitamins and calcium with vitamin D. The multivitamins I sprinkle on her food once a week, and the calcium every other day.
