My beardie Ouroboros has been bloated a bit for the past 3 days or so. Every time she pooped, it seems to go away a bit but then came back. I took her to the vet for a check up, fecal test and a problem I noticed with her arm, and I mentioned the bloating to the vet (who is 1 of 2 reptile...

It may be that the entire tank isn't up to temp, but her basking spot is more than likely the right temperature. I can't tell you how many times I have burned my hand on those things just by keeping it under the heat too long when feeding her @_@ My tanks temp is reading about 93F right now but...

You know I might just give that a try! I have a couple extra tank laying around I got from the towns swap-shack :D

I was actually just about to post a topic about how I can get my beardie to eat her salad, and how do I feed her baby food because of her lack of salad diet xD What is it exactly that you put in her salad and what is it that you put on top? I am not super familiar with plant and brand names yet...

I keep losing the instructions for it... But basically what you do is cut a water bottle in half, drill a hole (in thise case I did 4) in the cap and string cotton string through the hole(s). Fill the bottom half with water and turn the top half upside down and submerge it in the water (so the...

I found a self watering plant pot (I think) and I wanna hear what everyone thinks about it and how well it may (or may not) work...

This is the package I was going to get started with http://www.dubideli.com/products/starter-colony-option-1 I have read a little bit about starting a colony, but it almost seems too easy :o I read that typically you keep them in a smooth container like a big tote box, so they can't climb...

My beardie is starting to shed for what I think is the first time, she has been constantly scratching at the glass ever since her tail began to shed in mass. She has been scratching for at least an hour or more. I tried to take her out a few times to try to calm her down, but she immediately...

This is my first beardie and I am pretty sure it is one of her first sheds, it looks like it starting on her tail and a little bit under her jaw. Does it look normal? I really don't know what to look for to make sure she is having a healthy shed. This is also very sudden, I was handling her a...

Just curious! I know some people will find their more domesticated pets have a liking for certain types of music and may even play them for plants, does any one play music for their beardie? Has any one noticed any behavior changes if they do play certain types of music?

Yea I might try the string! I am just really worried she will get caught up in a radiator or something bizarre like that, the house I live in is really old and has a lot of out dated living luxuries, like in wall radiators, a fire place and we have a ton of furniture since there are 4 of us that...

Yea my house has a lot of nooks and crannies. The turtles thankfully are too big to fit anywhere dangerous but Ouroboros is really good at sneaking into place like a little snake. She even found her own little shady hide hole in her tank that I didn't even realize was there :lol: I was freaking...

Yes! She is very comfortable around everyone that handles her, she just wants so bad to explore, but she is so small I'm afraid she'll get lost xP I haven't seen her react to her reflection the same way since that one time. The last time she saw herself, she licked the glass and ran to eat, lol...

I do have a harness for her, but she is able to slip out of it pretty easily. It's also a pain to get her into it in the first place. I will try the string though! The room I want to let her run around in has a lot of hidey holes and places to get lost, which is why im worried

Sorry, posted in wrong category at first. My beardie Ouroboros just suddenly started running around her enclosure and went to the corner and scratched at the glass, and is generally just running around. I presume this is a sign she wants to run around a bigger area, but I am afraid if I take her...

It was a Exo Terra Sun Glo 120 Volt 60 Hz and 150 Watt day bulb that seems to have melted and popped out of the lamp? I am assuming I used the wrong voltage or wattage for the lamp fixture. There is no indication on the lamp itself as to the recommended wattage, however I found the bulb...

Aaah as cute as that was I can't tell if he was "heeeeey stop it" or if it was more like "srsly pls stahp" I don't think teasing them is a good idea even though it can be playful. Maybe a more rewarding type of teasing would be OK, like instead of holding his food outside the tank, just hold it...

Hi! I'm pretty much in the same boat. I have had my beardie for a little over a week now, and from the get-go I have been taking her out of her tank 2-3 times a day, depending on how squirmy she is ill keep her out from 15 minutes to over an hour. Typically, she will fall asleep in the pouch of...

I have had my beardie for about 3 days now. Today, I caught her staring intently at one side of her pen, where there was a dark spot on the wall, that allowed her to see her reflection. Then she started lifting up her arm and did the submissive arm waving at her self :lol: When she saw her...
