    Is this a fungus? (Pic)

    I just noticed these spots on my beardie's chin. I thought it was dirt or something but it didn't come off in the tub. What does it look like?

    Alfalfa pellets as substrate?

    I currently have my beardie on shelf liner. I have a hide with a t-shirt inside and he keeps trying to burrow under the shirt. I bought him a dig box with flaxseed and he loves it, but he makes a HUGE mess. I can't think of anything large/tall enough to put in his viv that would keep the...

    How to clean cork bark?

    I have a 2 ft piece of what I believe to be cork bark. It's what my beardie basks on. He was diagnosed with coccidia and a couple other parasites yesterday so I've taken everything out of his viv to disinfect. The bark has lots of crevices in it so I can't exactly spray it with anything. At...

    3 different parasites :(

    I took my beardie to the vet yesterday because he wasn't acting like himself (sluggish, not eating much, etc). Turns out he has 3 different parasites. Coccidia, pinworms and one other that I don't remember the name of. He is on meds now, my poor baby. My question is, can these be transferred to...

    Too close to UVB?

    Right now my boy's basking spot is something similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QFSNY4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_lBFRxb46SBD2R Problem is, when he's sitting on it, the top of his head is a little over 5" away from the UVB light. That's too close, correct? What is the ideal distance? I've...

    Nameless boy...

    A couple pictures of my beardie outside yesterday. I've had him for almost 2 months and still can't think of a name because I'm too picky. Poor guy lol. Since I posted this, may as well ask for some name suggestions... :P any ideas?

    When do they start enjoying veggies/fruits?

    My boy is a little over 5 1/2 months old. He eats collard greens and dandelion greens daily but I haven't found anything else that he likes. I've offered butternut squash, carrots, red bell pepper, raspberries and strawberries. He wouldn't touch any of them. Some have said that they don't really...

    Hand feeding = spoiled rotten?

    So I originally bought a separate 10gal tank to feed my beardie in but he wouldn't eat in it, so I gave him his way and started feeding him in his viv. I've always hand fed him but I'd drop every other roach and let him chase it. Fast forward a couple months and now he refuses to chase them...

    Beardie won't come out of hiding in the morning?

    My boy (about 5 1/2 months old) basks on a hollow log and sleeps inside of it every night. In the morning when I turn his lights on, he doesn't come out. His eyes are open but he looks groggy and his colors are dark. I give him an hour or so but he doesn't come out on his own. Eventually I take...

    How many dubias should he be eating a day?

    My beardie is around 5 months old. Should I feed him as much as he wants in 10-15 minutes, twice a day? Or should I start limiting? He's a pig and I feel like he would eat until he explodes lol. Right now I let him eat quite a bit but I do cut them off once it seems to be getting too much. He...

    Is my boy's setup ok?

    Just upgraded from a 20 to 40gal, I know it's kinda plain but does it look ok so far? Anything need to be changed? Couple questions... How far should he be from the uvb and basking lights? He's about 6" from the uvb and maybe 7" or 8" or so from the basking. I literally just set it up so I'm...

    My boy needs a new name!

    Recently discovered that my beardie Delta is a male, not a female like the original owner told me. Thought about keeping the name but "she" was named after the female raptor from Jurassic World so it sounds too feminine to me lol. My girlfriend and I have been going through names but can't find...

    Is "she" a he?!

    I was told my beardie was female, but today I checked and I'm pretty sure I have a male!!! Does the flashlight trick work? If so, this is a male, right?

    This is Delta (& a question)

    I just got my first bearded dragon about a week ago. I have no background information on her as she was dropped off at a pet store by a man who said he couldn't keep her because his son wasn't taking care of her. She was in a tank near the register; one of the employees was a beardie owner and...
