    Bearded dragon threw up, poops on himself, rejects any food

    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 female bearded dragon turned out to be a male!

    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...

    Fed a medium-sized mouse to my dragon

    Three days ago I bought a 17 g mouse to feed to my rosy boa. The snake refused the meal - he shed two days later and i didn't notice it -, so I fed it to my dragon. My dragon hasn't a long time she woke up from brumation, and still she eats small quantities. So I thought, by a sudden large...

    Bearded dragon urine or diarrhoea?

    Today my bearded dragon pooped a liquid-like thing that smelled a bit like feces, but it hadn't any color and just soaked the paper substrate. I wasn't there when she pooped, but I found it a bit later, and the dragon was basking. I removed the soiled papers, rubbed a nearby wood decoration with...

    Unplanned too early awakening from brumation help needed

    Hello all, Today I noticed my bearded dragon, Annabella, with her head nearly half out of her hide. I am keeping her in a cool place for hibernation, but recently temperatures rose unexpectedly and temps were up to 16-17,5 degrees C in the room, and the dragon was tricked by the weather. Upon...

    Everyone is into brumation now

    So we are in the middle of winter, and I feel like I have only a few animals. The other are like they don't exist, because they are brumating. Or hibernating, say it as you like it. Bearded dragon is brumating. Adult female leopard gecko is brumating. Rosy boa is brumating. The only one that is...

    My beardie really likes her phoenix worms

    Here you can see my little Annabella eating approx 60 phoenix worms at a sitting. It was actually one of her last huge meals before the gradual descent into brumation. Not that she wouldn't eat after that, but she was eating mostly regular quantities, ie 40 worms, 5 roaches etc...

    Salmonella and reptiles help needed

    Hello beardie community, This will be a somewhat different post, and I don’t know if it is suitable for that section of the forum. It is not about questions on salmonella prevention from reptiles. I am a reptile hobbyist for some years now, I unfortunately past from the fear phase by reading so...

    Bathy bathy softy dragons

    I have a question. Why to bath a bearded dragon? Actually how this notion dominated the bearded dragon community and why? I understand that if there is a sever shedding or constipation problem, then a bath might be needed, but why otherwise. It has become a custome in this forum for all to bath...

    Alternative way to give calcium

    Below is my alternative way of supplementing calcium to my bearded dragon. I have noticed many times that my dragon, Anabella, will try to ingest or actually ingest small stones or gravel when outside. Not always, but she might stop, take one on her mouth, try to chew and then leav it, but...

    Disturbing a sleeping dragon

    I have, by reading the various posts here, noticed that disturbing an animal that is sleeping in order to handle it is tolerated and even encouraged in this forum. Why exactly? Just because an animal is less responsive and perhapse slower due to low temperatures and light doesn't mean that it...

She passed very well through hibernation, she ate two days after waking up, she was normal, eating a lot, defecating normally and basking. When not basking, she usually...

    Questions on head posture and defecation habits

    I have seen too many dragons in photos, and from any dragons I have seen in person, I noticed that they often point their head straight up. Why they do it? Does it mean anything? They will be resistant to repositionning, that is, if I gently push their head to go down, they will stubbornly keep...

    I know I am posting this on a bearded dragon forum and I will get answers favoring the latter species, but any way which of the two lizards do you thing is more intelligent?

    Carpobrotus or pigface

    Hello. I haven't taken my dragon out from brumation yet, but I am planning her care and diet. Fortunately, having a lovely rabbit, I am familiar with many useful and nutritious plants. One of these is the species I described on the title, which would be a panacia if it is eaten by dragons...
