Hello. So i have grain mites. This is the first time I’ve dealt with this issue. They came in large numbers in a superworm cup I bought and overnight spilled out of it (it was too crowded and they didn’t have enough food anymore in there) unto the desk they were on, my tarantula enclosures (all...

Hello. I haven't been here in a while because I was busy battling pinworms and coccidia. The good news is my boy Dalí tested clean almost two months ago. I had been meaning to retest because he was acting strange but since I was told to do so in six months, I figured I'd wait. Now, I'm worried...

If it's one thing, it's another. I discovered a suspicious patch on the tip of his snout today. It was bright yellow with black blotches. I panicked and since I had some betadine ready to wash him since he's on Panacur for parasites, I used some on the snout. It stained orange. I then took a...

My dragon finished his meds this Monday and I took a sample in yesterday. Today the vet called me and told me that the coccidia is gone but that there was still a pinworm egg or two on the fecal slide they did. While that is an improvement from the "lots" he had weeks ago, I am disappointed...

My little guy is in the process of shedding. He did his arms, legs, and feet and is in the process of shedding his head. The tail isn't ready and the body and chest don't even look pale or anything, so I guess that will come later? Can it happens days or even weeks apart from the rest of the...

Hello again! Recently I found out that my beardie has three different types of parasites and I am going to be starting Ponazuril, Metronidazole, and Panacur. They won't be at the same time (one at a time), thankfully, but I'm still nervous about everything from the effect it'll have on my baby...

So, I went to the vet and it turns out my beardie has parasites. The doctor didn't tell me the count but prescribed an Albon suspension 50mg/ml for 14 days at 0.1ml per day. The Panacur suspension is 100mg/ml and it is to be given for 5 days at 0.05ml per day and then repeat that after 2 weeks...

Yesterday I got a 40 gallon breeder for my bearded dragon. Of course, it doesn't come with a screen. I love the thinner mesh screen lid that came with the Zilla kit I have now. It seems those only come with the kits, however. Individual screen tops I've seen in stores seem to only be made of...

So, I'd like to switch from crickets to Dubias because I want something healthier and cleaner for my beardie. Crickets are so gross and I'm terrified that he could get parasites from them, especially those from Petco and Petsmart. I've been searching around but there are several sites to choose...

Can butternut squash stain a bearded dragon? I gave him some in small squares with his greens this morning. I give it to him in a round, low, flat bowl and he tends to climb in and sit on part of it as he eats. Today I was checking him over and I saw light yellow over his vent, leg, and foot. I...

Hello. I am new to the forums and recently started a thread in Enclosures to get the correct setup for my beardie. I'm worried about him, however, because today I found this pink blotch on his belly near his vent. It wasn't there before for sure. I'd have noticed because I check him every day...

Hello! My name is Jenn. This is my first post, though I have been lurking for a while. I'm an animal lover and have always had a personal zoo. I'm not new to "exotic" pets, either. Since I was 12, I've had everything from dogs, cats, fish, birds, rats, and hamsters to turtles, scorpions, snakes...
