Hi all, Chester has recently been constantly stressed out. Her beard is black all the time but not puffed up. I'm not sure why but she's not showing any signs of illness or anything as far as I can tell. When she had a respiratory infection, she was really stressed but she got over the...

Hello again everyone! Chester has been diagnosed with a very early URI. The doc wanted to ensure that it doesn't progress so he wants him on baytril. Today will be the 4th day on Baytril and I haven't noticed any of the bad side effects yet (lethargy, loss of appetite, etc.) but I know it's...

Chester started showing systems on Saturday. He was opening his mouth a lot and seemed to lick his lips or stick his tongue out a lot. And Saturday night he crawled up to my neck to hide in my hair and fell asleep and I started hearing noises. Like he was smacking his lips. Whenever I tried to...

I took Chester to the vet today because it seemed like he was showing signs of an early URI and I was concerned. He's been bloating his tummy, resting his head upwards when he sleeps, making a strange popping noise and opening his mouth, and this morning he yawned and made a wheezing noise. This...

Hi all, I have to be brief cause I'm at work. I went home for lunch and my room had this horrific, almost barf-inducing smell to it. It was chesters poop which he's regularly taking on his hammock. This is the first time since he's been off crickets that his poop has smelled this bad. I have...

So I've been doing research on starting to breed Dubia Roaches and wanted to know if anyone uses heat tape? I heard it's the best to keep the heat regulated but it's pretty expensive. And is it hard to keep it regulated w/o the tape? What other heat sources would you suggest?

So Chester has been really extremely stressed out lately. I do think he's about to shed because his color has been really dull and getting duller. Last time he shed, his "pre-shed" lasted about two weeks before he just kinda explodes into a body shed. But I was looking at his tail today and it...

So my brother and I are thinking of breeding our own feeders. He has a chameleon and I have a beardie ofc and so we're thinking it'll be easier and cheaper for us to just breed our own insects. We both absolutely despise crickets even though they seem pretty easy to breed, despite the smell and...

Hi All! So I went to the Sacramento Reptile Expo today and came home with a new baby beardie ?. He's about 5 weeks old and super adorable! I wasn't even planning on getting a beardie but as soon as I held him, I couldn't put him down. He was so sweet and calm despite all the commotion going on...

So I recently made the discovery that Chester is officially a female. She got old enough for me to see that she is definitely female. So my main question is if you thought your Beardie was one gender and named it for that, would you change their name upon finding out it was the opposite gender...

Hi All, So I really just wanted to vent here. My brother bought a Male 3 year old beardie 2-3 weeks ago and named him Mortimer. The beardie had been previously owned for literally 1 day before he was returned to the reptile shop. We've had great experiences from this shop in the past and they're...

My Chester is 5 months now and I worry that he's way too small! I see a lot of other beardies and they seem to grow really fast! I'm afraid that Chester just isn't keeping up and I'm really worried! He's about 8 inches with a nipped tail.

Hi all, So I'm concerned a bit because Chester has always kinda had really droopy eyes. Is that normal? I don't think a recall when he hasn't had droopy eyes and I've had him since he was 2 months. Now he's 5 months. Here are some pictures of what his eyes look like. This eye doesn't seem to...

Hi all! I've been switching Chester's main feeder to Phoenix worms over crickets. I find that crickets are giving me way too much hassle to pick out of his terrarium and I feel myself cleaning out their keeper every other day to keep the smell down! Their disgusting creatures that eat each other...

Hi all! So Chester is 5 months old and rarely eats his veggies. I've tried offering many different types of greens. Mustard, kale, collards. I've tried different fruits. Mango Papaya-one of the few he'll tolerate Blueberries Bananas Peaches I've tried different veggies. Zucchini Squash Bell...

Hi all, Chester is 5 months old and 8" with a nipped tail. Early last week, I think he was impacted. (I had put some sand in bc one of the reptile shops recommended it since he was old enough. I'm taking it all out this weekend and I've been feeding him outside of his tank now) So I bathed him...

Hi all! So I know all dragons are different, mine seems to be especially picky sometimes though. I was wondering though what your dragon loves and hates! For instance, my dragon seems to dislike baths and water (although they calm him down). He also dislikes veggies, fruits, and waxworms (not a...

Hi all, so I came home from work today expecting to see my baby basking like usual, instead I couldn't find him anywhere! I freaked out and tore through all the decorations to find him. This is what it normally looks like (without the paper towels though and I moved the temp gauge). I ended...

Hi all! So I've actually been lurking around these forums for a couple months now for certain answers and I finally decided to sign up. A little background first, I bought my very first beardie back on June of this year. His name is Chester. He was 3 months old when I first adopted him. Now...
