So it turns out my Bandit is developing a cataract in his right eye. It's not all bad news--the vet says that when he gets bigger there's a surgery for it, and in the meantime he should be able to compensate. Apparently it's pretty rare in a young dragon, and the vet said it may mean he had a...

We're not sure how old Bandit (male) and Banzai (female) are, but they are each pushing 19 inches long and both weigh more than 400 g now. (We got them as juvies from PetSmart, so we just don't know). However, there are a couple of new behaviors that we are beginning to notice from them and I...

My husband figured out what was happening here before I did. I'd seen that when I put fresh greens in and there is butternut squash in there, my Bandit makes a beeline for the squash. Anyway, my husband pointed out that the greens were particularly scattered this afternoon, some of them all...

I think maybe we don't realize how attached to our beardies we've gotten until it's far, far too late. I'm out of town and besides bothering my husband over the phone about their temperatures (we don't have central air and the house has been getting into the 90's with the heat wave in our part...

I thought he was going to go inside the outdoor cat tent for some outside time. But he wanted to climb the side. So I set him on top and let him be King Bandit for a few minutes. I think he was a happy lizard. :) Banzai, meanwhile, wanted nothing to do with the outdoors, just clung to my...

I don't know how he's even still on the branch!

So, Bandit was very active earlier tonight. He even found and climbed the old cat tree in the corner. I put him back in his terrarium before lights out. I was still in the living room when there was the familiar tick of the timer and his lights going out, and before I got around to getting...

My Banzai is shedding right now and does not want to eat or leave her enclosure. Is this normal for beardies?

Today was just impossible and both my beardies wanted to come out and snooze on my shoulders tonight after lights out. I swear I felt my blood-pressure drop. I don't know how these little lizards affect me like this, but I'm so grateful they do. I had a root canal today and I have always had...

Hello, I am the proud mama of two juvenile beardies, newly separated, named Bandit and Banzai. For a good month now, they have been housed on children's play sand. I originally chose this substrate because Bandit likes to dig. Though they never eat on the sand, the people I talk to still...

What is this? I don't even....

Hello, We currently own two beardies that the pet store sold us as a pair. They are about 14 inches and about 12 inches respectively, and it looks like the smaller--Bandit--is a boy and the larger--Banzai--is a girl. Bandit has always been smaller and skinnier. I feed them separately now...
