    basking temp + not eating

    We've had our baby a week last saturday (i've posted a few times). She wasn't eating, then ate 24 crickets one day. I thought we were finally over the stress of relocating. Now she's back to not eating and she hangs out longer and longer on the cool side. She ate two crickets Saturday, zero...

    New Baby beardie

    2 Years ago, we had gotten a petsmarts beardie. He ended up with MBD, Through the help of this forum, we made sure his cage was set up correctly (UVB/UVA lighting, proper heat temps etc). Sadly, he passed away. My daughter has been wanting another beardie ever since, and we finally decided we...

    Baby coloring.

    I'm considering purchasing a baby from a seller on Craigslist. He has given me pics of the parents and babies. I am wondering if there is a way to tell if the babies in the picture belong to the parents. Their color seems a lot duller than the parents coloring. I was hoping the babies would be...

    MBD? Beardie can barely walk, not eating.

    I think my beardie has this. Over the last several weeks he has stopped eating. Looks thin, lower jaw is swollen and seems to not shut right. Also his legs are boney. I found a picture online that described what mbd was and provided a picture and it looks just like my dragon. My dragon is less...

    Basking with mouth open?

    Normal? She doesn't do it a lot. I cleaned her tank out today as she pooped in her water dish. Figured it was a good sign I needed to do a good cleaning and sterilizing. I ended up putting her basking log a bit closer to her basking light because the temps weren't getting warm enough so she...

    Can they over eat?

    I've had spike for a little over a month. She eats like she's starving. Generally over a tbs of finely chopped veggies. 1-2 mealworms and maybe 50-80 1/4-3/8 inch crickets in maybe 6 minutes. She would eat more I'm sure if I let her. But I'm waiting on my cricket shipment while my cricket eggs...

    Bonding

    I have a young 3-4 month beardie. We have had her about a month and a half. She's good with letting me hold her. But loves to run and explore. So we haven't done much out of the cage other than I feed her in a separate bin. Tonight I took her out of her cage once she climbed up on her tree to...

    Becoming aggressive?

    I haven't introduced myself, but have been stalking for awhile. We have had our beardie for almost a month - a month and a half. She has been in the same cage since we got her. She's about 7.5 inches long. I am not sure on her age other than she's a baby (3-4 months maybe??). Since we have had...
