Hey fellow beardie slaves! My girl is getting to the age where she needs to start consuming more veggies. I have already taken her down from two insect feedings to one per day, as she already seems to be less interested in her second meal. I offer her fresh mustard greens every day, and she'll...

Me: *takes Thane out and places her on the floor* Now, don't get yourself in trouble. Thane: *runs toward the bookcase* Me: No, Thane, I will never get you out from under there. *approaches* Thane: I do what I want! *puffs beard and pancakes her belly* Me: You're not very frightening. *scoops...

...you get the stink eye! Post those telltale signs of being a beardie slave!

Are any of you on the Bearded Dragon Network Facebook group? The people there are very helpful and nice, for the most part, but they advocate FOR sand/soil substrate and AGAINST baths. There is even a vet on there who stands by this. That seems absurd to me, especially the sand thing. They claim...

Reptisun 10 question. I currently have a T8 bulb in my girl's 36x18x12 tank. At 7-8 inches away, when she is basking, is this enough? Or should I get the T5? Any help would be appreciated, as I've heard conflicting things.

I haven't seen much info out there on when to upgrade to a bigger tank. I have my girl in a 36x12x12 right now, and I'm sort of waiting until the last minute to upgrade because I only want to have to do it once. I don't have room for anything bigger than a 40gal or 55gal in my apartment. At...

A friend sent me a picture of a tropical viv that was set up to look like Dagobah from Star Wars. I told him that I loved it, but a beardie would live somewhere more like Tatooine. I then Googled "bearded dragon Tatooine"... and I was not disappointed. So that made me wonder, what is...

Well, now that we have a verifiable pig on our hands (little Thane is not so little anymore!), it's feasible for us to have a small dubia colony. I just want to make sure I'm going about this the right way. We ordered the starter from Dubi Deli, and here's the setup and supplies that we have...

How important is it to include vegetables in the salad? I don't mean greens. Thane loves her mustard greens. But I've made salads with all kinds of other vegetables and fruits. I've used carrots, squash, green beans, apples, grapes, and more. She eats around them. So I know how important greens...

We've had to play around with the temps in her tank because it's been absurdly warm for February in Michigan. So sometimes that has resulted in her being too toasty, and these cute heat-purging sessions. It's a work in progress, and we make sure she's well-hydrated. But here's my spoiled...

Every time after Thane eats, she waddles up to her rock, climbs into her hammock and plops down under her basking light. It's as if she's saying, "I'M SOOOO FULL!! Just a quick rest..." I just took this one, after she put back 40 sm-md crickets and dubias in one sitting. I didn't force-feed any...

What ridiculous positions (sleeping or awake) have you caught your beardie in? This is from the other day: *That moment when you're too lazy to get up and walk to the fridge.*

Hi all. I just wanted to update everyone on Thane's health. His backstory and fight with ADV is located in the thread "Juvenile Bearded Dragon Won't Eat and Rests Most of the Day" if you don't already know about the little guy. TLDR, here he is at 16g, one month ago: Then we started him on an...

Hi guys, so my little guy has started this new thing where he seems to be gulping/swallowing or sporadically puffing his beard. His viv is all good with correct temps, humidity, bulbs, size and all that. I'm concerned because it's a new behavior I haven't seen in him before. I'm worried that it...

What could be the cause of these red dots on his urate? I searched around and didn't find much help in other threads. I'm pretty sure it's not parasites because he JUST tested negative for those at the vet. Could it be blood from his inflamed tummy/digestive tract? He has ADV, and the vet...

I've learned quickly to keep both dubias and crickets around for my little guy. Some days he's all about one, some days the other, and some days both. It seems like his preferences shift. One day he might not look twice at a dubia, and the next he'll be ravenous for them. Anyone else notice this...

My Thane falls asleep on me like this every night. He scoots his tiny little self right up into the crook of my neck. Every now and then he wiggles to adjust himself AND HIS LITTLE NAILS TICKLE SO MUCH. It's my favorite thing ever. Anyone else have a neck snuggler at home?

I got the dragon about a month ago. He is around five months old now. When I brought him home, he ate normally for the first couple of weeks. He would eat about seven or eight small crickets each day, as well as a couple superworms and kale. As of about a week and a half ago, however, he...
