After fighting sickness for a few weeks, we decided to put Java to rest last night. He fell off of his log and was unable to support himself anymore. We had been keeping up a regiment of daily feedings and water, but whatever initially got him sick was too much for him to handle. He's at Rainbow...

Good morning My beardie Java just got back from urgent care after spending a night in the ER. He threw up a bunch of black sludge after a bath on Sunday so we took him in. He's become increasingly listless and pale, and his fat pads are sinking. He's not interested in food or water, and his left...

So I'm beginning to get concerned about my male beardie, Java. He hasn't eaten much to our knowledge in a week or so, with the exception of veggies we offer him that disappear when we aren't watching, he won't willing take veggies from us but we give him a mix of greens, peppers, onion, etc. He...

I know I already posted a memorial for her, but I wanted to talk about my dragon, Lola, passing away yesterday. About two weeks ago, Lola laid a clutch of eggs, and afterwards lost a good amount of appetite. She was still eating worms and her veggies here and there, but her fat pads started...

On May 8 of 2014, my wife and I decided to make our family bigger by one, and we went to a local breeder and brought home a little orange hypo dragon we decided to name Lola. She was notorious for getting into weird sleeping positions, and for her bouncy energy. I became very closely bonded to...

It's not a bearded dragon, and not my first lizard we bought, but yesterday my veiled chameleon Vudu passed away unexpectedly. Over the last two days or so she's been very lethargic, so we moved another lay box into her cage in case she had eggs to lay, and we misted her with water a few times...

Not sure if this should be in health or breeding or whatnot but here goes. Lola is a 2 year old beardie and she just laid her first clutch of dummy eggs - she has never been bred and I understand this is normal. However, since laying, she has lost a bit of weight and is not eating like she used...

As information, the bulb we use for our beardies is this one http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-PowerSun-Mercury-Vapor/dp/B0002AQDJK - PowerSun 100W UV MV Lamp My wife and I have two adult beardies and will be adopting a juvenile, and this is the standard bulb we use. For substrate, we changed to...

So my wife and I are considering a beardie up for adoption at our local pet store. As a rule, we don't generally buy pet store animals because we've lost a lizard and a bird due to sicknesses they had from being in a store. Our beardie in question is (judging from my estimates) a little under a...

Hello all. Recently, my little girl Lola has been developing what seems to be a stuck shed at the base of her tail, on the top of her body. It's manifesting as standard light, flaky white skin but it hasn't come off in probably three weeks. We bathe her once or twice a week and even bought Shed...

I've heard a million different stories and rationale behind using various types of substrate, and I'm wondering if someone can help me and others decide what's best for their pet. As a backstory, I changed my lizards from Calci-Sand to a normal sand/dirt blend because my male ended up with an...

So my female dragon can be lazy, especially at mealtime, and I'm wondering if it's a problem. She spends most of the day basking and when we feed her we take her off her log and place her on her table (we have a slab of tile 8x8 she eats on). We literally have to herd the crickets towards her to...

Hello all, my name is DracoLord510 (Though Patrick is OK too). I'm a former zoo employee with two lovely year old dragons. Our first is Lola, who is a hypomelanistic female. Our second was picked by my wife, and he's a normal black and cream male named Java. My wife and I are huge animal buffs...

Hello, We have a 1 year old bearded dragon named Java who is, in many circumstances, a picky eater. He relishes crickets of all sizes, and eats them with incredible gusto (he's knocked over nearly every decoration in his cage chasing them). However, he pretty much has zero interest in worms...

Hi all (Moved post from Health) First time poster, can't get an image uploaded yet. My wife and I have a year old bearded dragon male named Java. He eats like a pig, crickets every other day with calcium powder and veggies on days without crickets. Gets bathed twice a week. He's in a 50 gallon...
