    Blood in Poop?

    Occasionally Lucky has what looks like a little bit of blood in his poop. Lucky is about 9.5 months old, 637g and almost 21". He eats mainly superworms, medium dubia and baby food squash (with a few munches of collards when I can get him to). He never had any of the blood in his stool until...

    Open Mouth

    I have had Lucky for about 6 months. He is about 9 months old, 20 " and 560g. He has been healthy. I have a good set up for him (had a sick dragon before him and know all about proper lighting, heating, etc.). I have noticed that sometimes he opens his mouth when he is looking out the...

    Getting Him to Eat More Veggies

    I have had Lucky for about 5 1/2 months. He is about 9 months old, weighs 520 grams and is 20 inches. He came from a breeder. He is a red, translucent, leatherback (and had one hypo parent, I believe) - not sure if that is relevant. I am having trouble getting him to eat his veggies/fruits...

    Adhesive Shelf Liner/Wall Paper

    I currently have a glass vivarium for Lucky. I was thinking about building a cage or buying one of the custom cages, but building will take a while and custom is expensive. In the meantime, even though I have put fabric/glass covering on the outside of the glass viv I am currently using, he...

    I love you, Sweet Pogo

    Pogo: June 2015 ~ February 1, 2016 When you first came home: Despite how sick you were, you still got pretty big: Smiling with baby food on your nose: Our last night together: I will never forget you, sweet Pogo. You were a real fighter - no one could believe you lived as long as you...

    Stunted Growth?

    I have had Pogo for about 6 months. She was about 6.75" and 10g when I got her (probably about 6 weeks to 2 months old). So, she is at least 7 months old now. She is only 9.75" and 45 grams. She has been trouble since I got her - would only eat a couple of crix a day and then nothing after...

    Lighting Question

    I have a Reptisun 10.0 T8 tube running the full length of Pogo's viv cage for UVB. I replaced it after 5-6 months to insure that the UVB is still strong. It is in a reflective fixture and the screen top of the cage has been cut out to ensure maximum saturation. My current heat/basking light is...

    RIP Sweet Pogo; Welcome Home Happy Go LUCKY

    Has anyone used/had problems with the magic mushroom basking ledge? It attaches to the cage with magnets and can be used as a platform for basking. There is something wrong with my beardie. I have ruled out just about everything, so now I am checking particular cage furniture. Pogo goes...

    Outside Enclosures?

    Any suggestions on a temporary enclosure for time outside that does not need to be supervised every second? Right now Pogo (about 2-3 months) will only sit on me outside (or in a bath). She is too small for a harness and I don't want her near the grass/bugs since our lawn is treated. I have a...

    Explody Eye

    This is more of a thank you for this forum (and a warning for newbies). I have had Pogo for three weeks. She ate fine at first and then slowly stopped. Now I feed her with an eyedropper - a mix of carnivore care and baby food squash (which she opens her mouth for and takes with no problem)...

    Pogo Health Update (#2)

    So, I took Pogo to the herp vet. Vet said that my set up was good and Pogo had a strong heartbeat, was alert and active, and healthy looking - he looked at Pogo's little organs by shining a doc light through her back and armpits in the dark and showed me the heartbeat! They did a fecal and it...

    Pogo Health Update

    Well, he still won't eat regular food (i.e., crickets, dubia, collard greens). I have been giving him carnivore care with baby food squash in an eyedropper to keep him from starving - I swear he starts licking his lips when I go in there in the morning. Still active and making little poops...

    Will a baby starve itself to death?

    I have had Pogo for 8 days. When I got him/her, he was about 7" and 10g. He was eating five dusted crickets a day (smaller than space between eyes) for the first couple days, and mustard greens, and an occasional dragon pellet. He was active and pooping once a day - healthy looking. He even...

    UVB - Mesh or No Mesh?

    I am using a ReptiSun 10.0 T8 UVB tube that runs the length of my cage. Currently it sits in a fixture that sits on top of the wire mesh cage lid (not loose mesh/not tight mesh - about medium), meaning the light has to go through the mesh to get to the dragon. Because it is a 10.0 T8 and Pogo...

    First Shed

    I know I am posting a lot as a nervous new beardie mommy, but I want to do right by my new baby. I finally made peace with the fact that he won't eat a lot (I have had him for 6 days and he is about 2 months old), probably due to stress of moving. Now he has just started shedding! His tail...

    Changing to Dubias

    I have had Pogo for 5 days (I think he is about 2 months old - 7" and 10 grams). He just does not eat a lot. A lot of people have said that stress of moving can cause them to lower their appetite. The largest number of crickets I can get him to eat in a day is 5 and he has eaten as few as...

    Sweetest Thing

    My brand new, 2-month old dragon seemed frustrated around the time his lights were set to go off -glass climbing, etc. I have been trying not to touch him too much so he doesn't get stressed by new viv and new people. I put my hand in to move him out of a fake plant where he was glass climbing...

    Newbie Unsure of Quantity of Food

    I got Pogo yesterday. I am calling him a he but he could be a she (too early to tell). He is about 7" long (with tail) and 10 grams. I think he is about 8 weeks old. His set up - 50 gal vivarium; 36" Reptisun 10.0 UVB running the full length of the cage. 50W halogen basking light - his...
