My bearded dragon ate a piece of expanding foam. Warm baths were suggested to help him pass it. My question is, would it be okay to give him a bath tonight (9:30pm) if it's over with by 10pm and his lights go out at 12am? 12am is normal for him. Would that be enough time for his body...

My 15" bearded dragon ate a pretty sizable chunk of styrofoam that was right outside his enclosure. It was a round piece of Great Stuff expanding foam, between the size of a nickel and a quarter (but round like a ball, not disc-shaped like a coin). I grabbed him to get it out of his mouth but he...

What are popular methods to keep dubias hydrated aside from using water crystals? I realize that is a very broad question with several answers, so could anyone offer insight into how they do their own colony personally? Thank you if you can.

As you can see, the shed can be pulled off with very little resistance. I gave him several baths this week to help; his head shed turned flakey and just fell off. Should I wait for the rest of it to turn dry and flake off on its own, or is it okay if I cautiously help him? It's been turning dark...

Heard at a pet store that water crystals become toxic when they dry out. Is this true? I have a pitcher full of expanded crystals soaking in water. Could go toxic even if they don't dry up? They've been there for about a week.

5 males and 15 females are housed in a 19 gallon black Sterilite container. The house stays at 78 F constantly. They may be breeding already - I saw the red egg sac things on the females' rears. Either way, I bought a 10-20 heat pad, but I need to somehow attach a rheostat to it... the same...

I have a large, 30 gallon Rubbermaid container that houses 1000 tiny 3/8" dubias that came in a couple weeks ago. (they grow fast!) Today, I got in an order of 300 3/4" dubias. On top of that, I have 5 males and 15 females in a large, black 40 gallon container. Should I put the new 3/4" ones in...

My bearded dragon never seems to drink water. When I bathe him, he just gets stressed out and scrambles constantly to get out of the bowl. The water temperature is 90-96 F and the water level is about up to his belly. What is the advantage to giving dragons baths if they don't drink during...

My 13" juvenile bearded dragon Aries hasn't been himself lately. There are 3 main problems. These problems started about 3 weeks ago, when I left him in the care of my family and found out his main basking platform was moved to an area where it got 90 F at most for about a week. He stopped...

Hello. I'm lucky that the Dallas area seems to have a good number of reptile vets. I just got my first bearded dragon 3 days ago. Should I have him checked for pinworms, adenovirus, etc, in a few weeks, or should I only take him if he shows signs of illness? The breeder seemed like a very...

I'm a bit worried that my new juvenile bearded dragon may be dehydrated from the shipping experience. Aries was shipped overnight by FedEX. I offer him a shallow dish of water but he doesn't seem to drink it (just runs through it). I offer him a plate of veggies wet down by water, but, again, he...

Hi all. I have had Aries for 2 days now. During that time, his nose has developed a weird dark patch. He fell from his basking branch yesterday, so I was wondering if it could be a bearded dragon bruise? (have since added levels under his branch so he can't fall so far) Could it be that Aries...

My first ever beardie will be arriving tomorrow from dachiu dragons! Should I let the water sit out tonight, allowing the chlorine to dissolve, before the baby gets here? Is city water generally a bad idea for beardies to drink or bath in? Should I buy a gallon of spring water instead? Thank...

Can't figure out what exactly makes a Dunner a Dunner. Does anyone here happen to own one? Could they be so kind to compare it with a normal or leatherback morph? Or to describe what it's like to hold one? Do colors fade less than a normal morph? (first bearded dragon; trying to decide what to...

I'm excited to be getting a baby bearded dragon on June 4 or 5. Spoke to a few breeders at a reptile expo today about food options, but wound up confused. What diet gives babies a healthy head start? Are all feeders equivalent in nutrition with added supplements? I've heard that juveniles will...
