You got me wrong. I didn't say if we love our dragons or not, just that many people treat them like literal babies, that is utterly incompetent animals that are unable to cover even their basic biological needs on their own.

Go and find me evidence from here that mealworms are dangerous for dragons. And not maybe very ill, dehydrated dragons, but healthy normal ones. Dragons are designed to eat beetles, also adult dubias have much more chitin and spiny legs, but they eat them fine. Propagating hearsay about...

I can also feed dubias, crickets, red runners, pachnodas, waxworms and grasshoppers. Now it happens to be mealworm time in my collection, as my colony is producing in full force and the stapple this month is mealworms, but that doesn't mean they don't eat dubias, crickets and other insects...

The snake didn't put it in its mouth. It is a rosy boa that can reject a prey if disturbed. That was the day I brought the bearded dragon home and reconnected his electrical equipment, so probably it felt stressed by all the noise and movements of objects and cables around the whole room.

Please put your bearded dragon outside on a sunny day on a piece of metal and observe its behavior. It would leave after a few seconds. They can feel the heat from below as well as from above and from the side and generally from everywhere like any other normal animal. Also bearded dragons are...

Why are you criticizing me so much? Obviously the thing about the inability of dragons to perceive heat from below is just bogus. It may happen with some pythons for which I don't have any experience to comment, but most animals can know this. An animal living in a desert needs that ability...

You aren't shaming and pointing a finger, but you do. My dragon is 500 grams and 500 grams do not come from neglect. As I told before and you blatantly ignored, I pass my animal through real hibernation each winter, a think that many are afraid to do, I let it outside to bask, I give it lots of...

The dragon has both a heat pad and a basking spot, as the branch cuts off a lot of the radiation of the lamp and I needed an auxiliary heat device to keep good temperatures. I use the heat pad in conjunction with the lamp for years. Each one cares for his animals according to the specific...

No, they can eat the whole leaf. No problem if you chop it, but they can cut it themselves.

I think they wouldn't eat apple tree leaves. They are safe, but they are quite hard and they won't get to great lengths eating hard leaves. They aren't real herbivores. Maybe up to a hardness of a grape or hibiscus leaf, not anything harder than that. Generally the same broadleaf weeds which are...

Bearded dragons are ambush foragers like all dragons. Don't expect it to run as soon as he sees food. Observing my own I have come to the conclusion it is an animal that tries to save as much energy as it can during the hunt. It lunges to insects only when they are going away, otherwise he waits...

So I had, as I told in a previous post, sent my dragon to another owner with a male for breeding. Only there it was proven mine is a male. I checked him as well, and he is definitely a male. For nearly 5 years neither me, nor his previous owner, nor the even previous owner who got it as a...

My dragon has a normal black beard, just he shows it rarely. Today that I returned him back home he was more upset, bobbing his head etc. Otherwise he is calm as always. He also ate two grasshoppers and a pachnoda larva, plus a hopper mouse, because a snake didn't want it and the dragon didn't...

For until now, for nearly four and a half years, we all thought my bearded dragon was a female. The one who gave it to the previous owner at the age of two months thought that it was a female. Then, I got her at two years of age from the previous owner, who told me it was a female. I asked...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb_y9f6iKVA Context necessary: I am from Greece, and not so long ago we had a saint-charlatan who lived in the Holy Mount and unfortunately he had a great following. He was advising his admirers how to live their life according to strict christian orthodox values...

Every poop from then is normal.

Everything went ok. Today my dragon pooped with completely normal feces, I mean no indigested material could be seen, and immediately after she ate 8 locusts. It is one of her top favorite foods. There is no need to quarrel in my topic, I gave her a mouse because I thought it could jump start...

Finally it was urine. She had pooped something solid as well, but it was behind a decoration in a strange place and I didn't pay attention to it immediately. Today she pooped a normally-sized, firm pellet in her corner, as she does most of the time. So no problem.

The dragon started eating meals before the mouse. I didn't give it to her straight up from brumation! She started eating locusts, superworms and dubia roaches, plus some lettuce. Just she wasn't eating the quantities she is used to.

I something don't like about that answer. The mouse isn't a dehydrated, months-in-fridge mealworm with just a shell and no nutritional value, it is a whole prey with everything inside. Why should it take such an effort to digest? Also adult dragons can take larger prey than the distance between...
