Xion's taken the last of her parasite medication and still has diarrhea...it's REAL stinky and watery.
She's currently back to a 75w bulb since the 100w burnt out (gotta tell mom to not use temu lol) but the basking spot is up to temp (sometimes even gets to 112F, varies throughout the day) but...
Xion's started doing this recently, I can't tell if she's just really bad at waving or if there's something wrong with her arms. She's done it with both. While she's bobbed at her reflection before I've never seen her wave until recently.
The dust & droplets are because this happened right...
I was carrying laundry past her enclosure when Xion started rapid fire swatting the air with one hand, kinda like a wave but like swatting a bug. Does it function like a wave but in a "PLEASE DON'T SQUISH ME WITH THAT GIANT BASKET" way?
So I've always been wondering how old Xion is. This has only gotten more confusing as the vet keeps changing her age on records (6 months to 9 months, no measuring or weighing)
She was rescued from a garage, so nobody was able to tell me when they got her or how old she is.
She was probably in...
Sorry I've been making so many threads. For the duration of Xion's pinworm treatment I've replaced her substrate with paper towel, but she's been incredibly restless as a result. Throughout the day she'll run to the front of the tank and repeatedly try to get through the glass, scratching it...
So Xion has pinworms and her substrate is a sand/soil mix. Should I clear out her tank and just go with paper towels until it clears up? Her basking spot is also on top of a wooden structure, I'm wondering if that could also be a possible hotspot for re-transmission. It's a pain to clean too.
I...
Ah, the humble peanut butter jar...
...you might see where this is going 😂
My roaches' hydration pad had gotten filthy so I thought hey, what if I just found a shallow container, put some paper towels in it, and dampened them? That way any time I need to clean it I could just replace the paper...
My bearded dragon has been pooping right on top of where she basks ever since I got her. I thought she'd realize on her own it inconveniences her since it's a whole process to clean it up, but she continues to do so. It's not that she's lazy either, since throughout the day she'll wander...
After asking my mom for months I finally secured a vet appointment by finding one in the area! I already checked their reviews and double checked via email if they can take beardies & do a fecal test. Xion tends to poop daily so it won't be hard to prep a baggie.
However, I do know there's some...
I have a feeling I might've been overdusting Xion's dubias.
I realized this when I looked into orange poop since...to be honest, it started to look like mussels
I didn't think much of how to dust them since for ease I'd just toss them into a container I put a bit of powder into and shook em up...
She's had a bit of a dark crooked tail tip since I got her but since it originally looked like a gradient I didn't think much of it. Now that she's shedding again and the dark spot has more than doubled in size I'm suspicious it might be stuck shed...
She gets a bath about once a week with more...
I can't seem to get Xion's temps right no matter what I've tried so far. I've used a temp gun & probe to check. She has a UVB tube. Her basking spot is about 6 inches from the bulb (I'm afraid of potentially hurting her if I push it closer) Her basking spot is a rock large enough for her to lay...
So Xion's always had this incredibly nasty smelling poop, though I didn't have anything to compare it to since I haven't had a beardie in a long time. Whenever she'd go you'd hear this LOUD WET FART as liquid would launch out behind her before the log.
Well, it got worse.
Now, every time it's...
HEAR ME OUT I'm not literally feeding her chocolate cake or anything :LOL:
But would it be safe to bake a little treat once every 1-2 weeks with beardie-safe ingredients? (no flour, no dairy, etc)
The only thing I've thought of so far is a mini carrot cake though, I tried it out this morning...
I'm upgrading Xion's tank, so I'd like to document my progress here! I'm hoping it'll push me to complete it.
I do have chronic pain & fatigue so it might take a bit for the first few steps (I'll need the help of family) but as I already have the larger stuff I will get it done eventually. She's...
Don't startle the dragon in the garage.
That's what my siblings told one another, probably for around two to three months. Don't go in the garage. But we were moving soon, and I had to go through there to get something outside...
Hey, I'm Shard. I'm technically not new, but I haven't visited...
Hello there! I haven't been on these forums for awhile, and since I'm on this one, I thought I'd post here. I hope that's okay!
So for the past month or so there has been a class pet in my science class, a leopard gecko named Sheldon. However, the entire time I've been worried about him. Can...
I was taking bearded dragon care tests online, and ended up nitpicking their answers! <xD
Is "none of the above" an answer?
I chose the only option that I thought is good for all ages. They didn't specify adults.
Mealworms and lettuce are bad for them.
All of these are pretty small...
I wasn't sure whether to put this in DIY or Enclosures, however I went with Enclosures as it might apply to pre-made enclosures, too.
Is it a good idea to glue handles on a sliding door of a front loading enclosure? Just small wood blocks to make it easier to open?
I don't know if there's a...
