    Is this normal

    I noticed this strange dark rim beneath my beardie's side spikes about a week ago. I looked online and couldn't find any pictures that looked like this under "skin conditions" or "diseases." I'm hoping that is a good sign, but I wanted to make sure. I know their colors can change and darken. And...

    Dandelion Greens

    This is probably a silly question. I've been trying out different vegetables with my Bearded Dragon, but sadly the grocery stores in my area don't carry many varieties of vegetables. I can't even get collard greens all the time. I've saw on the nutrition page that Dandelion Greens are a an idea...

    Beardie eating sand

    My bearded dragon, Shacky, is about 18" long now. I'm not really sure how old she is but I got her back in July from a pet store and she was 9" long then. Recently she has seemed a little chubby but I'm not sure if she is just eating too much or if she is even old enough to be getting ready to...

    Oddly inactive Beardie

    I've had my Beardie for a little over six months now and she's about 17" long. I'd been keeping her in a 20 gallon long tank and it seemed like she was kind of cramped in there so I'd been planning to make her a new enclosure but I haven't been able to locate all the pieces I need to yesterday I...

    Are these armpit lumps normal?

    My Beardie, Shacklynn, seems happy and healthy and appears to be behaving normally (basking, fond of eating insects, curious about everything, tries to eat everything yellow) but today I noticed these lumps under her armpits. Are they normal? I don't think she's always had them but her overall...

    Why won't my superworms pupate?

    I read the post here in feeders about breeding superworms and looked up some videos on YouTube and it seems like superworms are fairly easy to breed. On November 5th I received a batch of medium superworms from Mulberry farms and separated out my biggest into a few tackle boxes. I have about...

    Do superworms need to burrow?

    I got a bunch of superworms and had read in several breeding how-to's that you can use whole oats for substrate. The previous batch I'd ordered I put in oats and they seemed fine. Before I got the new batch, I read that you're supposed to blend the oats to make it easier in the worms. I've...

    Is this poo normal?

    Sorry to have a poop post, but I just wanted to check if this looked normal. For a while Shacklynn has been going while in the bath, but today she went right after eating all her crickets before I could take her out of the feeding tub. It's been a while since I've been able to see her waste...

    ReptiSpa Mercury Vapor bulb?

    http://www.amazon.com/Reptispa-Sun-Lamp-Watts-Self-Ballasted/dp/B00U6NDM38#immersive-view_1445797138383 I was talking to a friend of mine that told me he uses this ReptiSpa bulb because it provides uvb and heat for his skink. I like the idea of providing UVB and a Spotlight together. Has...

    Connecticut

    Is anyone else on this forum in Southeastern, CT? It'd be nice to have some local dragon keepers to talk to from time to time.

    Breeding Superworms

    I've had my Beardie, Shacklynn, for about 4 months. I've tried feeding her a few different things, mealworms (which she had been fed on in the pet store), crickets, black soldier fly larvae, superworms, collard greens, carrots, butternut squash, yellow squash, regular and "gourmet" prepared...

    Shacklynn bit me!

    My beardie loves crickets and live food, but is barely interested in eating veggies. She is probably around five months old (12.5" long) so I know it's normal for her to eat more protein than veggies, but I've been trying out veggies to see what she likes. She'll try a bite of almost anything...

    Swollen ankles

    I've been reading other people's posts about health problems that their beardies are having so I know what to look out for with mine. Today we noticed that our Shacklynn's front limbs look kind of big. She isn't having trouble moving around at all or being lethargic. I got her from a pet store a...

    So many questions

    Hi, I have several questions about my Beardie, Shacklynn. Enclosure size: I've been looking into getting one of the exo terra all glass terrariums to move her into. Will a 36x18x18 space be enough for her? I want the next tank I get for her to be a permanent home. Beardie Poop: In the...

    What can I store superworms in?

    I just received my first order of superworms. i had been feeding her crickets which come with all the housing they'll need. The ReptiWorms I purchased in the same order came with all they need too. I realize this is my fault for not reading everything fully before I ordered. I transferred the...

    Is dragon too skinny?

    I've had my dragon for about two months (I got her from a pet store) and she is now 12" long. She eats mostly crickets dusted with calcium/vitamin D and multivitamin powder and sometimes collard greens, veggie pellets, and butternut squash. Today when I took her out of her enclosure I...

    Leaping Dragon

    Should I be concerned that my dragon (3 months old? I've had her for two...she is 12" long with a little over half of that as her tail) leapt up and appeared to be trying to bite her heat light? The screen top of the cage blocked her of course, but it was a scary thing to see. I'm glad I changed...

    Where should I get my insects?

    I've had my beardie for about two months, and it's been a strange complicated trip so far. When I got her from Petco, they told me they'd been feeding their dragons mealworms so that's what I got her. Soon after that I learned that mealworms shells can be bad for dragons so I switched to...

    Too humid for dragon

    We had a heat wave where I live for several weeks but for the past few days we've been having rain spells which has made my apartment much more humid than usual. The humidity gage in my dragon's cage says it is 60% humidity which is way too high for her. I've only had my beardie for two months...
