I've been wondering how long it would take before Linus's femoral pores would take to start doing their thing, (producing wax plugs like a big boy's); and it finally happened on one side. My little boy is becoming a man :lol:

I love Linus, I really do. That little stubborn reptile had me wrapped around his little orange feet. But he is driving me up the wall! Over the last week hes gone from my happy, but stubborn little lazybones into a little crazy ball of attitude. From the moment he notices I have gotten up...

I just saw a episode of Dr K's exotic ER that featured a Beardie with Lungworms. Just how common is this, and is there a dewormer that gets rid of them? The beardie in question had such a terrible infestation that the worms were literally crawling out of the lungs and up into the mouth...

I hope I never need to use the advice that I am asking for. I received bad results on a mammogram, two lumps to be exact, and have to go for a biopsy. What they looked like both on mammorgram, and ultrasound, scared me to death. If I do have, you know, and have to have Chemo, how will it...

And now for the spoiled part. I think I may have over protected my little one when he was a baby. When he was a little one, because I have other pets, I never allowed him on the floor by himself. I took him out every day for cuddles, walks around the neighborhood, and out and about with me to...

Linus and Onyx both had their annual physicals today, and I am happy to say that so far, everything looks tip-top! I say so far, because part of Linus's blood tests are sent off for further tests. (he got the full blood panel done. His calcium, liver, and kidney tests were perfect, and his...

I know how important sunlight is to any reptile. But I am starting to wonder if the stress to Linus outweighs the benefit of UVB and warmth he gets from being in his outdoor enclosure. Simply put, he hates it. He gets stress lines, and spends the entire hour hes outside with one eye on the sky...

Linus just had his first Birthday, Yay! My question is, since I believe that he started Brumation in mid October, by slowing down, spending more time in his hide, and not really being active or eating. The odd thing is that he really doesn't sleep alot more, just being extra sluggish. He...

Linus has an interesting bath time routine, and I was wondering if any of your beardies do the same thing. He has no problems getting into the sink for bath times,and will drink his water that I dribble onto his nose if he's thirsty, no problem. When he is done drinking, he will turn his head...

Linus HATES his calcium and vitamin supplements. Whenever he goes off his worms (hes still not eating any insect besides supers), I give him liquid vitamin and calcium supplements. He won't eat his greens with the dust on them, and I dont want him to get calcium and vitamin deficient. Maybe...

I just added some new pics of my little dude

Happy Halloween everyone! My issue is this, I believe that I've spoiled Linus. While he was battling Coccidia I would do anything to get him to eat, as I've posted about here before. The only thing I could get him to eat, even a little was superworms. Now that he's recovered, he refuses to eat...

Here's a new picture of little Linus, all ready for Halloween:

We live in NC, so we got hit pretty hard with hurricane Matthew. Once the power went out yesterday, we were prepared with batteries, but Linus of course lost his heat. The only thing I could think of was grabbing him and putting him under my shirt for warmth. I took Linus, and gave Onyx, the...

Linus has decided that he hates his calcium dust. He won't eat anything with the dust on it, at all. He used to eat his bugs dusted with both the calcium and vitamins with no problem. A few months ago, he just stopped. I was in the middle of coccidia treatment with Albon, so I wasn't really...

I noticed this lump today, not sure what it is. it feels kind of soft, and there's an identical one on his other side, in the same place. I looked on the internet, and couldn't find any pictures of other dragons that have the same bulge behind the front legs. I'm really hoping it is fat...

I was just wondering how many beardie owners on here take their beardies places with them. I don't mean just out in the yard for some sun, but out and about on errands when it's warm enough outside. I have taken Linus with me to fresh market, and to the garden store, and out on walks. He is...

Hi everyone, I'm at my wits end, and scared for my little dude. He had a 7 day treatment for coccidia with Albon prescribed from my reptile vet. I had taken in a fecal sample because I was concerned that his eating had slowed down. He had not been really eating his greens at all, and only a few...

Does anyone else talk baby talk to their dragons during hand feeding? Today I caught myself doing the "plane in the hanger" game with Linus while I was trying to get him to eat his bugs. Which, I am happy to report he ate a few of, Yay! Anyways, after l noticed both my husband and the cats...

I have a question about Linus's growth. Hes currently about 6 months old, and 19 inches long. I weighed him today, and he is 448 grams. IS this a normal weight and length for a male beardie? The reason that I am worrying about it is because the last 3 weeks hes been a VERY picky eater. He's gone...
