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 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.

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 want to set up a basking spot in my living room for Reptar. Does anyone have some ideas on how to do this? Half of the room is tile and the rest is carpet. I have a strong fear of fire, so I want the basking spot to be as safe as possible.

Has anyone used the Zilla brand appetite stimulant? Reptar hasn't been eating, and his vet wants him to take it. Reptar stopped eating on his own a few weeks ago when he got a bacterial infection in his stomach. He took Baytril and a probiotic for about two weeks. The infection is gone and his...

I just realized that I forgot to give Reptar his Baytril today. He is already asleep and I do not want to wake him up. Is it okay if he misses it for one day? He is taking Baytril for a bacterial infection and has been on it for 2 weeks

So I am trying to find a hotter basking bulb now that it is getting colder outside, but I am running into some problems. I want to use a halogen/flood bulb because it is cheaper, but I don't understand the light appearance scale. I found a flood light that says 'bright light' on the box (I...

I currently use a 90W flood bulb that I bought at Lowe's (it's an appliance store). I love it because it was super cheap compared to heat bulbs sold in reptile stores. Unfortunately, the 90W will not be able to keep the tank warm enough in the colder months and Lowe's doesn't seem to stock...

Reptar is showing signs that he is going into brumation, but I am worried it is too soon. We live in South Dakota and the temp is still in the mid 70s. I know parasites can also cause these symptoms, but I am not sure he has them. I have been getting his feeder insects from the same source for...

Does anyone have any experience using Arcadia brand multivitamins for their lizards? I am mostly interested in the Arcadia Earth Pro A.

Reptar gets to spend a good portion of his day outside of his tank, but I start classes again in a few weeks so he will be losing some play time. Last year I gave him a ball to play with. It was a little plastic ball with a bell inside. He used to push it all over his tank, but over time he...

I just bought a prickly pear cactus for Reptar. How often can I feed it to him? Is it like a once in a while thing?

Does anyone know of a good online store to buy cactus pads from?

When Reptar is in his bath he will scoop up some water in his mouth, hold it for a few seconds, then let it all fall back out. He has done this the last three bath days. Why is he doing this?

Reptar's lamp has not been working very well lately and it is time to find a new one. I use the 150w ZooMed Repti Basking bulb and need a lamp that is compatible. Any ideas?

As of today, Reptar is 18 inches and weighs 570 grams. I do not completely trust the accuracy of my scale, so I also included some pictures of him. What do you guys think?

Back when I first got Reptar, he had an injured tail. (My guess is that a tank mate bit him.) He has always had a hard time shedding the tip of his tail and in the past he has had multiple sheds build up in that area. I really want to make it easier for him to shed his tail. I was wondering what...

Hello, I need to find a company that ships dubia roaches with heat packs, for a reasonable price. I live in South Dakota and it is pretty cold here. Thanks!
