Thank you, I think that's the best way. I just wasn't sure how old a sample could be - how long any parasites or anything that could show up on the test can be visible for. Yeah was a horrible accident, I take full responsibility for not checking his viv was locked. The cat must have pawed open...

Thank you :) He's got a vet appointment on Monday (general check up) anyway so I'll have them look to be sure.

Hi Shaz. It just looks like he's ready to shed really. What substrate have you got him on? Looks fine to me though, I assume he's putting weight on that leg and is walking ok? :)

Hi all, I'm planning on taking Geoffrey to the vet for a check up on Monday (it's been a few months since his run in with the cat and yes- I still feel like the worst person ever to have let it happen, and he's still being spoiled rotten, and no nothing wrong with him, he seems to have healed...

It's not the flared spikes, it's the round bits under them. I don't know how to describe them Haha.

See dark beard area where it seems to be 'poking out' Not the best photo but you can see the lumps on either side of his head

Hi all. This may just be an example of me being unnecessarily paranoid - Geoffrey is my first dragon so still learning. I've noticed a couple things - first, his beard seems to be poking out (will attach a photo shortly) as though its broken or something. Second, I've noticed he has quite...

Hi Terry, thanks I have been looking but to no avail yet. I just thought this would be perfect as I already have it. I'm going to air it out for a week and see how it is

Hi all, I recently put down some linoleum for Geoffrey, but it's too slippery. I bought a foam camping mat, but it's got a strange smell. Is this OK to use or should I try washing it first etc? Thanks in advance!

I think you might be right about staining. I don't think it's sore as he didn't try to pull it away when I touched it. As for the surface being too rough, I don't think it's that, it's a relatively smooth wooden surface (see below). Although now I think of it it could be from his ladder (photo...

Here you go, sorry it's not great, he's not a fan of being help up like that.

Hi all, I'm hoping it's nothing but Geoffreys back feet seem to have turned a pinkish colour. I'm not sure if it's me making something out of nothing, it could possibly be his new climbing log (I wouldn't say it was red or pink though). Is there anything untoward it could be? He's eating and...

Animals really are another class. We are lucky to have them. It's tough because I've found it varies from where you live. I once reported a severely neglected horse (cuts, emaciated, not being fed, no rug on in the winter) and the rspca did absolutely nothing, but then I found a horse charity...

Noo don't be silly, it's ok, just didn't want you thinking I was on the attack. The others were right, I didn't mean to make you feel like I was urging you to steal him, as I said I just get so riled up. Where do you live? Are there any animal welfare groups that could help you here? Tell us...

Whoa, I hope you don't think my message was me being off with you, because I promise, it wasn't. I can't imagine how you're feeling and sorry for my initial message, I just hate the thought of an animal suffering from through neglect.

This is absolutely heart breaking. Sorry to say but sod ethics, and sod your friend. What sort of person does this to an animal? Take him and run, give that little creature the help it so desperately needs. It sounds like they haven't got much time for him anyway so would they really be that...

Hi, I'm sure someone will be along who can help you with this. In the mean time I'd suggest removing that substrate and just using newspaper or kitchen towel. Have you got any saline for her eye to help it from crusting over? Is she eating? What are the temps in both the basking area and cool...
