    Possible URI, question re: outside

    Hi Eleye, very healthy guy, was bulging his eyes (general cleaning, I thought) but kept his right eye closed and looked puffy underneath so I looked and he had slight discharge, almost clear with a tinge of yellow. I patted it off and seemed OK then saw string from his mouth. Looked in mouth...

    hinged screen top for 75 gal?

    Does a screen cover with center hinge (preferably length wise) exist for a 75 gal tank? Outside dims are 48.5" x 18.5". I cannot seem to find any except one Zilla on Amazon but no hinge, big pain on such a large tank that you're in every day. thx

    T8 vs T5?

    Hi, Getting a new beardie and will be using all of Darwin's stuff. However, his strip light went on the fritz and try as I might, I have been unable to fix it. It is for T5 bulb, I always used ReptiSun 10.0 (he was in 75gal). I moved my plants into his tank and bought a regular shop light...

    Reintroduction for me and Intro for rescue

    Hi All, This is actually a re-introduction for me and "Henry's" story (will likely be changing his name). I lost my dear Darwin Dec 31st 2016 at 2 months, just shy of 12 years old. I'd had him since 3 months out of his egg. His story was long and tough at times (one of two surviving a clutch)...

    Hope not to offend, anyone articulated?

    Need a vet in Rhode Island/MA

    Hi all, Darwin, 9 1/2 year old translucent, had what looks like blood in his poop this morning. This is a first and of course I am concerned. I recently moved to RI from NH so no vet for him so far. I know there is OSVS down in Greenwich but I just lost my cat to lymphoma and am trying to...

    How old is your translucent? Over 5, 6, 7 years old?

    I am curious to know if anyone has a translucent that is over 5, 6, 7... years old? I have had Darwin since he was just over 2 months (he is a Citrus Trans), hatched Feb 10th 2005. Yup the old guy is 8 1/2 years old. I know everyone has been breeding them like crazy over the last several...

    Roach stuck in throat?

    Darwin (8 year old) has been eating much better and today ate a small (1/2-3/4") dubia roach. He took a second one soon after then went back to basking. A few minutes later I saw the 2nd, whole and sticking out of his mouth. Odd, waited, looked back and he had spit out, unchewed. He seemed a...

    Fluid filled coelum & atadenovirus testing questions

    A bit long, but want to give as much history as possible… Darwin hatched Feb 10th 2005. (will be 8 in a couple weeks). I have had him since 2 1/2 months old. He is 17" long, weighs 374g. His best weight was 434g in Dec 2006. Dropped to 400g & below around mid 2007. He is a Citrus...

    "Ensure" still recommended for Beardies? Other thoughts?

    Hi all, For those of you who remember Darwin and me - yup, he is still hanging in there. Will be 8 in Feb., probably has adenovirus and survives simply because we love each other :D Once again, as he is nearing his usual semi-brumation, I always try to get his weight up (I actually begin...

    light areas on skin while basking??

    I am back with new troubles, which I hope mean nothing. My dear Darwin (he will be 7 years old Feb 10th!) and I are struggling thru another long NH winter. Try as I might to fatten him up beforehand this year was even more difficult and met with little success - sometimes I think the only...

    Conversion/dosing

    I am not very good at figuring out conversion dosing so wanted to check and make sure I figured this out right. If it calls for 1 Tbsp per kg of body weight and my dragon weighs 400g, which converts to .4kg, I use approx 1/2 Tbsp Right? thanks!

    Darwin bit of tip of (plastic) syringe...

    The ongoing food struggle brought me to having to give him Repta-Aid in order to get food/nutrition into him and as much as I hate it - because then he hates me :( - I had no choice. I can usually get him to take it right off his little spoon but I had to resort to the syringe method. He...
