Alright, I'm thoroughly confused. I keep seeing sources that say any calcium powder made from ground oyster shell is bad and the only calcium supplement that is digestible is pure calcium carbonate— in other words, Zoo Med's calcium supplement is the only digestible supplement on the market...

Hi again everyone! It's been awhile, so I figured I'd reintroduce myself. :D What have I been up to, then? I've been developing a reptile education website and blog, ReptiFiles.com. So far I've been able to research, write, and organize 9 care guides: Ball pythons Bearded dragons Blue tongue...

Hey guys, My beardie has a respiratory infection, but money is a little tight right now. The vet prescribed Baytril last time, and it worked for a little while, but I don't want to try it again because I don't think it got rid of the infection all the way. What are some Baytril alternatives...

My 7-year-old female has been showing unusual symptoms lately. She seemed to be shallowly brumating for a couple months, and she seems to have come out of it. But now she has sticky saliva, lethargic attitude, and gapes with a choking sound (like she's hawking a loogie). But her nostrils and...

My female, Nabooru, came out of brumation ~1 month ago. (FINALLY!) Since then she's been happy and active and hungry. She loves to run around our living room with her tail sticking straight up in the air. :lol: But lately she's been ramming our front door with her nose. We'll see her running...

My Nabooru just came out of brumation about a week ago (yay!) and has been since eating like...well...she hasn't eaten in months. Though this isn't her first brumation, it's mine. So I have to ask - is this normal? She seems to be craving roaches in particular, though she's not refusing greens...

Hubby and I recently decided to expand our reptile collection with an adorable Merauke blue-tongued skink named Charlee. He's pretty shy so far, and our beardies are not. helping. Deliora (our older and dominant female) hasn't taken her eye off him since we got him Thursday. If he so much as...

Hey guys, my husband was on KSL (the local online classifieds) and found this ad for a 6.5 month old male German Giant & enclosure for only $50: http://www.ksl.com/?nid=218&ad=33322385&cat=&lpid=&search=orange%20german%20giant&ad_cid=1 We can't afford to take him (already making room for a...

Hi everyone - sorry to add yet ANOTHER brumation thread on here, but I'm a newbie, so please take pity. :) A month ago we rearranged the flagstone in my beardie's tank, creating a cave. Once my beardie discovered it, she snoozed for 3 straight days before waking up in one heck of a mood. She...

Hi everyone - I have an female bearded dragon, roughly 5-6 years old, whom I bought about 3 months ago. She's shy in that she tolerates handling, but doesn't seek human company. But she also loves to explore. About a month ago her romps turned into escape attempts, where she would run away...

Hi everyone, my husband and I just got our beardies two days ago, and we're super excited to be new dragon owners! We own two beardies, Deliora and Nabooru (names pending). They are adult females, both retired breeders. When we were looking at Deliora before purchase, we noticed that she...
