Hello fellow beardie owners! I wanted to reach out and see if any of you own a black & white tegu or savannah monitor (or any large species, for that matter). Ever since I was little it has been a dream of mine to own a large lizard, but I didn't have any lizard experience and couldn't until I...

Does this look like yellow fungus? This discolored spot first showed up on her back in June but no one knew what it was and she was beginning to shed so I waited. Now she's completely done shedding and the spot is worse, is smooth, and she has gotten a second spot. Please guide me on this if you...

So in three weeks I'm leaving to Hawaii for just over a week. I just moved to Montana and I don't know anybody I trust to take care of Arty while I'm gone. We're flying out of Utah with family, and I have a sister in Utah who would be willing to take care of her, but wouldn't I have to take her...

Just within the last couple of days I've noticed a spot on Arty's back that doesn't turn dark when the rest of her body does, it stays light. What could this be, a burn? UV damage? Her basking spot ranges from 90-100 F (usually 94) and I have the reptisun 10.0 tube (the less powerful bulb and no...

Hey guys. My girl is just not right. I bought her off of craigslist so who knows her history and her actual age (they claimed she is two) but she seemed healthy enough. Good weight, beautiful color, and alert and curious eyes. I've had her for about three months now. First month was great, she...

Inviting a wild animal to live inside your home can naturally lead to some mishaps.... Ironically I bought this little cactus because it reminded me of my beardie. I shouldn't have ever let her her near it though because she thought it looked delicious. After finding the cactus tipped over with...

Hey guys! I am getting ready to begin my next project with Arty's viv. I currently have her on sand (she was sold to me on walnut shells, then I switched to sand, then I found this website!) and am wanting to do a new flooring but not sure what. I like the natural look of the sand, but I want to...

So I struggle. I just bought the Reptisun 10.0 t8 bulb and the fixture that was recommended on this site. I have no idea how to put it together and feel like I'm missing something. Help would be appreciated!!

OK I am posting this in health because I am not overly concerned about my dragon since she seems very healthy and exhibits normal behaviors, but I just like to know and be prepared since I am new at this. Last night I noticed that Arty seemed to have developed an underbite. I have never...

Hi there. I've heard of "incomplete shed" where dragons fail to shed their skin normally. What are the causes to this? Just curious because my girl has been in the process of shedding for three weeks now. I've read that there really isn't a time frame and she seems healthy so I am not too...

As a new dragon owner, I feel it my place to inform others that are thinking about getting a bearded dragon some things they should consider before purchase that are not in the books. Please read and be advised: 1. When you first get him/her you will be completely fascinated. Such fascination...

First off, for those of you who recognize me posting a gazillion posts, I am sorry. I have lots of questions! Getting bugs from the local pet store isn't working anymore. It's economically insane, for one, and I only have the choice of crickets, mealworms, or super worms. I want to get into a...

Hey ya'll. I am a first-time beardie owner and being new to this is stressful, I love my girl and want the best for her. I have questions and concerns about shedding, bowel movements, and behavior. For info. on my set up, see my Enclosure discussion here: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=214338 Quickie...

Hi ya'll. I am a new bearded dragon mom and always worried if I am doing everything right. Unfortunately, I found this website after I purchased Artemisia... I did a month's worth of research before getting her but I am still learning more and more everyday. I've almost had her for a month, I...

Hi there! I am a new and proud mom of a 3-4 yo beautiful (18 inchish) sandfire/orange (something!) bearded dragon girl. She is my first dragon, I have always wanted one and have done tons of research, and then I finally ended up adopting from someone who could not keep her anymore. So, total...
