    Bearded dragons in a hurricane

    Hey guys! As some of you may know, Hurricane Matthew is currently heading towards the east coast of the U.S, and my county is directly along the coast, in it's path. In the case of power outages and such, how should I care for my dragons? I haven't been through extreme weather with them before...

    CCF for Crested Gecko?

    Hey guys! I have a crested who looks to be in pretty good health but he's a bit on the thin side. Would it be safe to give him Critical Care Formula (the one for herbivorous critters) mixed in with his CGD to boost his appetite? I have a few concerns about a couple of the ingredients, such as...

    Bean and Stink are packing on weight!

    Hi guys- I know I'm not really a regular here but I used to come a lot for guidance when my two beardies were ill or not eating well :) Stink had parasites and Bean wasn't coping well after we had moved. I don't know whether this is the right forum but I'm pleased to announce that both of my...

    Critical Care or AcidophiLiz+ ?

    Hey guys! Stink eats only bugs and berries now and his little sister Bean refuses to eat anything at all. Neither of them are pooping regularly; however, I've just paid off Stink's vet bill though so I'm finally at a place where I can buy them some appetite enhancement so that while they wait...

    Stink Again- Giving up

    Hey guys. For a while Stink looked to be recovering from his GI but a recent accident (A.K.A a massive, sloppy stool on mommy's leg at Repticon) signaled a turning point in his recovery, for the worse. Stink's appetite is mostly gone again, and he hasn't pooped since the con- a little over a...

    Big Thanks from Stink and Family

    Wasn't sure which forum to post this in, but thank you to everyone that guided us and helped us get Stink on the road to recovery! Not tomorrow, but the next Monday marks his last dose of medication and he's looking so much better before! His hip bones are still sticking out a little, but he...

    The Magnificent Bearded Lady

    I don't talk about the Lady enough on here (mostly because she doesn't cause me trouble like a certain large, orange beast.... looking at you, Stink :roll:) Anyways.... someone left this magnificent little woman at a Petsmart in November and I waited for three days while they cleared her for...

    A Good Omen!

    Today I dropped $640 at the vet's office to find out why Stink's poops and appetite were icky, and to get him treated. As I'm sitting here, feeling particularly blue (and $640 poorer :lol: ) Stink hops off his perch and starts chowing down on his collard greens and squash! I haven't even...

    Crested Gecko Substrate Help

    Hey guys! I have this really great crestie named Spooby (my boyfriend named him, not I :roll: ) who we've recently decided to graduate from moss substrate to a 'living vivarium'. We're gonna have springtails and all sorts of cool stuff. We bought hydroballs for drainage and organic...

    Beard not eating, losing weight quickly, underbite

    PICTURES AND VIDEO AT BOTTOM. Tldr (but I'd appreciate if you'd read the long text anyways :oops: ); Stink stopped eating anything but bugs for a month, developing underbite because he won't ingest calcium, should I start him on an appetite booster? Not long ago I made a post about Stink's...

    Crazy Beardie! (HELP!!!)

    I've already tried the behavior forum but nobody knows what's going on! I brought home this little geode cave for Stink a few months ago and for some reason it drives him nuts :lol: No one I've spoken to has seen this behavior before. He'll black-beard, bob at it, scratch at it, lick it, bite...

    Burnt plastic smell from bulb

    My beardie's basking bulb fixture clamps on to the side of his tank. When I went to adjust it today, the screw had come lose and the whole, burning hot hood came off into my hands. It's a metal hood with a little ceramic part from Exo Terra, and the bulb is an Exo Terra Solar-Glo heat/UV mercury...

    Back from the vet- diet concerns

    I must seem like a complete amateur, coming on here all the time with no idea what I'm doing, but here goes nothing :lol: Stink came back from the vet's positive for pinworms, which we're treating with a dewormer (his last syringe comes before dinner tonight.) The vet had said that if he'd...

    Store-bought feed warning!

    Hi guys! So, on the topic of store-bought feed; I'm sure that the majority of you, besides those that need to feed multiple beardies/a reptile colony or those of you that breed your own live feed, buy your crickets and worms from your local chain store (Petsmart, Petco for those of you in the...

    Ate a rock- vet or wait?

    My boyfriend and I took Stink out to the nature trail yesterday. He's been having tummy aches and has seemed really restless, and we thought he might like the fresh air. At one point during the walk he wiggled down from my boyfriend's shoulder, plopped onto the pathway, and scooped up a pebble...

    Crazy beardie scratching (not on glass)

    My male beardie scratches and rubs his face/tries to burrow (?) into a particular decoration we'd added to his tank. It's a National Geographic Geode mini cave, and the outside of it is grey and rocky-looking. That's where he tries to dig. Here is a video of it (yes, I'm aware he's looking a...

    Puffing beard repeatedly when scared?!

    Has anyone else's bearded done this before? My new rescue, Bearded Lady, isn't skittish, but always exhibits stress marks and seems very cautious. When I lowered her into the bath today, she puffed up her little body (as expected) but also puffed out her beard quickly and repeatedly, which...

    Rescued Beardie Success Story

    When Stink first came to us from Craigslist at 7 months old, he was small and thin enough to be tucked into a sandwich-sized tupperware and had the most putrid-smelling, watery stool imaginable (which he released into my lap during the car ride home.) He had been living off a diet of romaine and...

    Weird white patch on top of parasites?

    My large bearded dragon has a small, white patch on his head. I would usually chalk it up to shedding/leftover shed, but it doesn't seem like his regular shed. It's almost slightly raised, and smooth/soft compared to the rest of the skin on his head- almost like a scab. It's been stuck on his...

    Beardie going to bed early?

    My Stink keeps trying to sleep early. We'll wake up at around 10 in the morning and his light will come on; I keep the blinds up in the room we sleep in too so there's tons of natural light, so I KNOW he doesn't think it's bed time. Even so, he'll curl into the corner of his tank or tuck his...
