    Odd behavior?

    Possibly. However she doesn't have anything at all by her vent and her pores on her thighs are almost unnoticeable. I took her to a vet for a winter checkup and they said they were about 80% sure she was female but anything is possible. Are these normal behavioral signs of a male?

    Odd behavior?

    Ripley has the whole 40 gallon breeder to herself and she is still only around 16 inches so she's still got plenty of space before we move her to our larger tank. She's been by herself this whole time and hasn't shown any other signs of aggression before so it's very sudden. She hasn't been...

    Odd behavior?

    Lately (last two days or so), Ripley has been gaping and puffing out her beard a lot in quick puffs (you can sometimes hear the ear in her mouth let out quick), in addition, she's been waving her hands a little bit and the only time shes her normal color is if I put her in the tub or she's...

    Tail Rot treatment?

    So Ripley just got done shedding and this round took a lot longer than we expected. The humidity stayed between 20-30%, and the temperature in the tank is perfect. However, her tail had an issue with the shedding and unfortunately about an hour ago she lost half an inch of her tail from the...

    Decor ideas for mobility

    So Ripley is about 5 months old, and she had a couple issues recently with the usage of her back legs. I took her to the vet and he told me that she can still feel pain and react, however she does have slight paresis. She isn't paralyzed though. And we took an x ray and showed me and her bones...

    Possible impaction?

    i recently purchased a reptisun 10.0 tube and command stripped it to the wall of my tanks so Ripley can get all of the uvb possible. It's an 18 inch. And i really only use the CHE when I leave the window open because it is getting pretty chilly at night now. She recently started up on large...

    Possible impaction?

    Well she's 4 months but lengthwise she's about 13 inches as I measured her last night. She eats large crickets but they're really no larger than the space between her eyes. She does devour them along with her collared greens and wax worms. She eats a lot. And I chalked her lack of using the back...

    Possible impaction?

    Ripley is in a 40 gallon breeder, she's about 4 months, her temp gradient is about 105 on the basking log and between 85-95 everywhere else. Her humidity is between 15 and 28% depending on where in the tank and the time of day, she has a 100w zoomed bulb for basking, a 100w Che at night, and a...

    Possible impaction?

    For the past couple days, Ripley has been acting very strange. Usually she's very active. However as of late, she sort of drags her back legs, in fact hasn't used her back legs in around 24-36 hours now. She'll drag herself up on the log, and I've noticed her struggling to stay on sometimes. She...

    Wattage of Ceramic Heat Emitter?

    Hi all! So it's starting to get really cold at night here in New Jersey, and I want to leave the window open in my bedroom to save on air conditioning. Because my beardie is in the same room with me at night, and I really don't want to leave her in another room with my cats, I was hoping for...

    Question about shedding

    So my beardie is only around 4 months or so and I understand that beardies never stop growing, however I was wondering how often a bearded dragon should shed as it's growing? This has to be the 3rd time this month that she's shed. This time it's huge layers of dead skin and it's almost like it's...

    High humidity??? How to reduce it?

    Hello! So my 40 gallon tank has had some super high humidity lately.... At night when the lights go off, the humidity raises to around 70% humid! And throughout the day, it stays about 50-60% humidity. The temperature ranges from around 80-86 degrees F on the cooler sides, and the basking site...

    A quick update: Darwin's coloring is coming back and he seems a lot happier. However, he has started shedding and isn't really into eating right now. I ran out of crickets for a few days so he was eating wax worms, however I bought him crickets yesterday and he won't touch them so I think it's...

    New mom syndrome 8 week old juvie

    He hasn't had any issues with the AstroTurf type of carpeting but if I notice he's struggling I will definitely purchase the tiles. Not only that but he only ever poops on his actual log and cave. He's never pooped elsewhere. I definitely keep an eye out on the poop and clean it up with baby...

    New mom syndrome 8 week old juvie

    i have a probe temp gauge but I only check a few times throughout the day. I also have the humidity and temp gauge in the middle of the tank. I use the stick ons as a reference point but guage to get real temps. Today the basking spot has been about 107.4 F and moving the cardboard the opposite...

    New mom syndrome 8 week old juvie

    So once I take the cardboard out, how will I know if it's too much space for him? Also how much time is too much time without basking? I know they're supposed to move around and enjoy their tank to the fullest but how long is too long on the cool side? Typically he enjoys spending time basking...

    So this is Darwin! He's in a 40 gallon tank that I partitioned off halfway with a piece of cardboard. Thus why his temp is 90 at its lowest point. I was told to partition it off by the girl at Petsmart who sold me Darwin. If he needs a lower temperature, should I take down the partition and move...

    So Darwin has been doing great lately, he eats around 20-30 crickets a day as well as collards that he grazes throughout the day and in between crickets. Hes doing great. However, about 5 days ago I bought him a background and a couple ornaments (some plastic plants, a tiny bridge, and a lot to...
