    Feeder Change / Stool Change

    Hi everyone - my beardie is now large enough (16 inches) to eat super worms. I usually gave him crickets and dubias but due to where I am at that is now an issue. Super Worms are easier to get. For about two weeks he has been eating them as a staple combined with greens (mix). He has been...

    Stress Marks on beardie.

    Agreed indeed. In my personal case my babie beardie indicates stress specifically with the two flaps on his shoulders; everything else is just light :-)

    Stress Marks on beardie.

    Very likely he will. All beardies are different. Out of my two one is currently a giant loving mess - the other is still a baby and fearful but sweet. Both were scared the first week to two weeks in their vivs.

    Stress Marks on beardie.

    This is normal, he is stressed by his habitat. It usually takes 1-2 weeks for him to acclimate although that depends. It seems he is already having a good bond with you as a human; this will strengthen and grow through positive treatment. Give him some time, he is a small baby in a big world...

    Stress Marks on beardie.

    You can find a good background on Amazon, the 3d effect rock backgrounds are my beardies favorites as they can scale them. There could be a few reasons though, please let us know: 1. How old is your beardie? 2. How long ago did you bring him home? 3. What are the temps on the basking side...

    Tamed and Happy, Male/Female Questions

    My three month old beardie who has given me a world of problems is finally tamed! I thought for so long he would never be tamed but alas he is tame and loves to play with me, be out and generally hang around. He is no longer skiddish and even likes new people! We had a birthday party tonight...

    My beardie doesn't want to murder me anymore...

    Hah, pretty much! He likes baths (they calm him) and he likes TV or my cellphone depending on his mood. He is super amused by my computer screens.

    My beardie doesn't want to murder me anymore...

    ...not as much. Hah, this is a small branch of my life since getting my beardie about 6 weeks ago. His name is Charmander and he is now about 8-9 inches in length. When I first got him he was very hyperactive, in fact he jumped out of my hand at the pet store. He was from a local place and...

    Suggestions for taming my juvenile

    I have made a bit of progress with him today, he is less grouchy. He gaped at me so I petted and tapped below his chin (I read this is positive for affection), he stopped gaping at me and about 10 minutes later was fine with me picking him up. There seems to be little rhyme or reason to his...

    Sorry my eyeball measurement skills are not good. He is 7.5 inches from tail to snout.

    Suggestions for taming my juvenile

    This is funny you mention too hot, why would you think this? Is aggression caused by heat? I did notice him sitting on his rock today and gaping because of heat, I can tell but when he gaped at me it was not heat, it was him being salty with me. He is now sitting on his rock and staring at me...

My juvenile is about 4 inches long...

    New Owner, Beardie Not Eating

    He seems to be doing much better. I rearranged his rocks a bit but I also: 1. Started feeding him an increased amount of fresh small crickets 2. Varied his greens I think diet was the issue. He was not happy with commercial diet or the alternatives to live feeders I offered. While initially...

    New Owner, Beardie Not Eating

    It's a 20 gallon reptile tank. I am not sure what the model of the light is but it's the one designed for the enclosure and bearded dragons. The basking side temperature hovers between 99-100 on the glass but the actual spot is probably 100-105. He ate some lettuce and seemed okay. He...

    New Owner, Beardie Not Eating

    Hi everyone - I am a new beardie owner and my little guy is probably 2-3 months old. He is setup in a 20 gallon viv and the temps on both sides look good, he has a nice night and day setup with adequate UVB lighting. I supply him fresh veggies and insects (not live) daily. Since bring him...
