I am looking for a new website to buy dubia roaches and wax worms. I took Reptar to the vet today to have a fecal exam done, and it turns out he has Coccidiosis. The vet thinks it might have been brought on by relocation stress (we moved a few weeks ago). But Reptar has had coccidia issues in...

Hello everyone! This post is going to be a little strange, but I want to know what your opinions are. My four year old male, Reptar, has a small giraffe plush toy. He has been playing with it for years (carrying it around the room, tugging on its ears, ect.). He seems to be fond of his giraffe...

I guess I thought all beardies smelled like maple syrup. It must just be a Reptar thing. :D Now I really want to get another beardie to see what other scents are out there! :lol:

huh.. It must not be all beardies then. For Reptar, the scent seems to be coming from his shoulder pads and nape.

I wasn't sure if I should post this in General Discussion or Health. It is a bit of a weird question. Does anyone know why bearded dragons sometimes smell like maple syrup? I tried googling it, but didn't really find anything.

I love it when they do that :D So cute!

I snuggle Reptar every chance I get. I love it when he is sitting in my lap and does a little wiggle to get comfy. :D It's just so cute!

I have Reptar sleep in a dog bed next to my bed. That way I can check on him in the middle of the night. The dog bed is on a stand, so he is off the ground and I can keep an eye on him. I am way to afraid to let him sleep in the bed with me.

I live in the country and there are several hawks near my house. There are even a couple eagles hanging around. I was worried about taking Reptar outside, so I purchased an outdoor dog enclosure. I found it on Amazon and it was only $40 (though I believe the price has increased since then). You...

I don't think your son would have any problem taking care of one. Though, I do agree that an adult beardie would be easier to care for. Also, after you purchase everything for the tank set-up, there are ways to save on money. My bearded dragon, Reptar, eats dubia roaches instead of crickets...

Reptar likes to play with cat toys (mostly balls). He will roll them around his tank in the morning. I also bought a used ipad and mounted it on my wall. I usually start a movie before I leave for work, so he has something to watch. He's a big fan of Game of Thrones :lol:

Reptar has a spot on his beard that is always dark. It showed up about three weeks ago. It is like a large stress mark that doesn't go away. Should I be concerned?

Does anyone clean their bearded dragon's teeth? Reptar has black rings around his teeth, right at the gum line. His vet always checks his mouth when Reptar goes in for a check up, and he has never said anything about his teeth. I am assuming this means that his teeth are fine, but I am wondering...

I got Reptar from Petco. I will never again buy a beardie from a pet store. The condition I got him in was terrible. He had a RI and an injured tail. Most of his clutch mates also had injuries. I had originally picked out a different dragon, until I saw she was missing a foot. Though, now I...

I think it really depends on how social your beardie is. My beardie, Reptar, is pretty shy and doesn't like being around to many people, so I keep him in my bedroom. I have his tank facing the window so he has something to watch when I am away. He likes movement that is off in the distance, but...

I don't think moving would be that big of an issue, especially if you get an adult. My beardie, Reptar, did just fine on a 4 hour car ride. I just kept him in his carrier with a hand warmer pack that I wrapped in a towel. As for food, there are some ways to save on cost. For example, I grow my...

That is so cool! I've never heard of someone keeping a gila monster as a pet. My local zoo has one, and its tank is so small. :( The poor thing has very little room to move around

My beardie also runs into walls. He aways seems so surprised when it happens. He will look up at the wall like 'Where did this come from?' :lol: It's pretty hilarious. He is also pretty confused by the bedroom door, because some times it's open and sometimes it's not. When it's closed he will...

I agree. My bearded dragon only wants to cuddle after he has had plenty of time to play out of the tank. Let her explore a little bit and then try handling her.

Reptar used to drink his water when he was in the bath, but he stopped doing that when he reached about a year old. Now I give his water with a oral syringe. I will just drop the water on his mouth. If he doesn't open his mouth then I stop and try again later. It took about a week or so to get...
