A couple of days ago I took my beardy to the vet for her first check-up. He said she seemed perfectly healthy, but that she had a lump in her left side shaped like an oval. It was easy to move around and had the rough shape of a baby carrot, and was (either hard or squishy I cant remember)...

I was watching my beardie while she was basking and saw her do something kind of strange- she puffed her beard up in and out rapidly about 4 times, once per second, then inflated herself like they do in water for another four seconds. she then deflated and kept her beard out for another four...

I have three different lights for my beardy, which came with a starter setup. the yellow "daylight" that provides most heat, a white light that is on 24/7 (pretty sure its for vitamins or something) and a purple "nightlight." I'm wondering if it is safe/ok to swap out the purple bulb that...

My beardy appears to be sick, are the following symptoms something I should be worried about? Also how do I get her healthy again? undigested kale in poop, with no shape (just diahrea with bits of kale in it) what looks to be a 'runny' nose, white (mucus?) covering nostrils beard turning...

two topics I would like thoughts on: Does anyone have an efficient way of cleaning their beardies cage? I'm currently finding it to be a messy and time consuming process. When taking a bath, my beardy poops, and even if I yank her out just after (I have even tried while) pooping, she always...

for Christmas my parents got me a hamster ball for my beardy, and now she's finally figuring it out! up until now it has been mostly her trying to get out of the ball, but now she's moving around in it.

so my beardie is shedding her head right now, and normally I give her a bath and help peel the rest off when it starts to go in full force. this time I had trouble about halfway through, and my parents thought I should wait a while. (the poor thing looks like she is wearing a bandana around her...

So I went to visit some family over the weekend, and naturally my beardie pooped in her terrarium during this time. when I came back though, she had apparently walked right through it, because she had a stripe going from her chest to her tail. I gave her a bath and got almost all of it off her...

I just saw my beardie use her log to scratch her jaw and immediately thought of mentioning it in the health forum. when people called themselves slaves I thought they were joking....

sometimes when my beardie is basking she will have her mouth cracked open, I think (though I could very well be wrong) that it happens more often after she has eaten. It doesn't appear to be stemming from any problem, but I was just wondering what the purpose of this behavior is (if it is to...

I was just working on a paper at my desk when I saw Todo jump off her log and run to the glass at one side of her terrarium. looking at the glass I saw the tip of her nose, and realized she was staring at another beardie, who for some reason was copying her movements perfectly! she moved her...

my beardie is getting bigger and bigger, and so are her claws. its getting to the point where her scratches are nearly drawing blood, and leave scabs for several days. I saw a youtube video of someone who had part of their terrarium have sandpaper, so the claws would be filed down whenever the...

all of a sudden, seemingly without reason, my beardie is refusing veggies that just a day before she ate hungrily. the past week I have been feeding her cucumber, and her poo has changed to something like diarrhea. I tried giving her some orange pepper, which normally she loves, but after the...

originally my beardie has had healthy looking poop- the white part comes out before the rest and it is shaped like you would expect. lately I have begun to feed her small pieces of cucumber though, and the shape of her poo looks more like diahrea, with the white part mixed in with the rest...

My Beardie's name is Todo, and until we sexed her we thought she was a he. do you guys think we should change her name?

I have a 1 year old beardie who's diet consists of crickets, peeled peppers, waxworms, and a variety of leafy greens. now that he is getting older I want to get him off of waxworms as his secondary insect, and onto something more nutritious, as I don't want him to have his baby fat when hes not...

my beardie is about a year old (got him from Petco so not much info on him), and the past few days I have not found any poop in his terrarium, but I have been feeding him the same amount as I normally do. besides the changing of seasons, the only thing that's different about his lifestyle I have...

my 9 month old beardie Todo and I get along ok, he is no longer afraid of being picked up, doesn't try to 'escape' my shoulder anymore, and he loves being fed by hand. the only problem is that whenever I want to snuggle with him, as everyone in the forums seems to do with their beardies on a...
