    Stuck shed help??

    My eastern collared lizard has some stuck shed on his (her?) snout. I thought it would flake off on its on but no such luck. Any advice on how to remove it? (He's underweight but rapidly gaining weight and appetite; he was a rescue from a couple of months back).

    Success!!!

    Yesterday before I left for school, I decided to let Fury try some prickly pear with his food. I was doubtful about it because he HATES anything red with a fiery passion! But when I got home and checked on him, he ate them and only threw 3 peices across the enclosure!!! I call this a victory...

    Scared me half to death

    What are some things your beardie does that scares you sometimes? My beardie, Furiosa, ALWAYS tries to jump from the bed to the window that is 3 feet off the ground! (The face of innocence )

    Weird bump next to femoral pores

    I just noticed this today, I'm not sure what it is. He's active and basking. The bump doesn't seem to be causing pain, but he does have a dusting of a black beard ( just by the ears). It's semi hard when I touch it

    Cute sleepers

    My child crawled under my scarf and fell asleep. No one can convince me that beardies are not cute. ( I feel so blessed )

    Carrot trouble

    Furiosa love carrots, but carrots do not love him. Everytime I or my mom feeds him carrots in his salad he ends up with an upset stomach and undigested carrots in his stool. I've stopped feeding him carrots. Is it normal for beardies to have an upset stomach over a food item? I'm not too worried...

    Sleepy Fury

    Furiosa entered brumation a couple days ago! He's only been out once to eat, poop, and bask. :D :D :D He stares out of the hide when he's not sleeping, is that normal? (He does seem alert, just sleepy)

    Okay sounding poo???

    I totally flunked and disposed of the poop before creating this post. But Furiosa's poop has been diarrhea-ish as of late. He has not been loosing weight and has a good appetite. Half of his poop is a soft, firm brown while the other part is an orange color diarrhea. It has a smell, and I can...

    Separation anxiety?

    Recently Furiosa has been blackbearding every time I put him back in his tank for school (8 hours ), he always calms down when I take him out and let him crawl on my shoulder. He got a new 40 gallon tank recently also so I'm not sure if it is separation anxiety or if it is just the new tank he...

    Creative anger expression

    Furiosa is one clever boy. When he gets angry not only does he glare, but he will find a hoodie or book of mine and tale a big, healthy lizard poo on it.. My AP US history textbook is the most recent victim. (Taken right before the recent anger incident. The textbook is right behind him)

    Hi everyone! I've had Furiosa for a month now but he is already my little baby. This is him after his first bath with me.. Furiosa is 14 inches long and still growing!
