I'd like to introduce some variety to Pascal's insect diet. He's currently on crickets. Roach feeders are illegal to keep where I live. My current living situation does not allow me to receive live feeders via mail, so phoenix worms are also out (unless someone knows a Southern Ontario local...

We've taken Pascal out for a couple of trips for the last two weeks because it's been hot outside. The first was for a 15-30 minute walk, the second was for a short drive to a store and back (I stayed with him while my wife went shopping). Since then, he's seemed more lethargic during the day...

Lately Pascal has seemed really tired / lethargic for 1-3 hours before his light timer goes out, but with roughly 30 minutes to go, he perks up and gets very energetic until after the lights go out for a while. Does this happen for anyone else? It's somewhat new - only been happening for the...

Hi - I noticed a couple of coloured spots on Pascal that stand out. I'm not sure if they're normal for most dragons, are part of a unique feature for him, or are a symptom of other issues. Here are two pictures - one is on the tip of the tongue, and one is under his eye.

So today was the day I finally upgraded Pascal from 1/2" to 3/4" crickets (he's big enough to handle them now). What I was expecting was larger crickets. What I was NOT expecting was nightmare difficulty mode in containing them. I buy my crickets in bags of 100 from the reptile store. I have...

I've been noticing today and yesterday that Pascal sometimes keeps his right eye closed. I'm wondering if I have his UVB too close to his basking area. (Reptisun 10.0 T5 36" in Reflective Hood through Mesh) Here's some pictures.

I went to the vet to pick up another round of meds for an amoeba infection. It's being treated with Metronidazole. He was on 0.01cc, but increased in size roughly 17x since the original date of diagnosis, so they upped his dose as the previous dosage was all but ineffective. I haven't been...

So since I got Pascal (at ~2 mos.) he's been feeding in a large cricket keeper container, which worked really well when he was 6"-7" but is not working as well at his current 14.5" at 5.5 mos. considering that he's longer than the keeper now. We recently purchased a larger 15G bin for feeding...

So we went away and left Pascal at a boarding facility for eight days (reptile store). When we got him back, he seemed thinner and more skittish. He's eating 50+ 1/2" crickets PER FEEDING and running to the door of the cage when I put the cricket cage on the table after eating. He's also eating...

A couple of questions regarding night-time... 1) Where does your beardie usually like to sleep at night - is he more comfortable in a hide, on the ground, on a basking site, or up high? Is it dependent on cage temperature, comfort, or other factors? I've noticed that Pascal doesn't even bother...

So over the last few days, Pascal has been lazy. Sit on his log, sleep on his log. He'd probably eat and poop there if we didn't take him out to do so. His shed started peeling today, and he's been a completely new dragon. He's been running around ont he log, up and down vines and across...

Had a vet checkup today (some parasite concerns). In discussions with the vet, she recommended trying out the following two products. https://www.store.repashy.com/by-product-name-en/grub-pie-reptile-en/ https://www.store.repashy.com/veggie-burger-4-oz-bag.html On the plus side, this...

Is there a minimum or maximum number of crickets to keep in the feeding enclosure at once? I feed Pascal in a large cricket keeper. I put in about a dozen 1/4" - 3/8" crickets for him on my last feed attempt. He sat for a few minutes then tried to claw his way out towards his enclosure. I'm...

I think I'm suffering from first-time parent syndrome, but better safe than sorry. WARNING: BEARDIE POOP Backstory: Three days ago, my 2-2.5 month old, Pascal, grabbed an oversized cricket. He chewed it before swallowing, but was still fairly concerned. The other crickets were somewhat...

Pascal, my 2.5 month old, gets fed in a separate enclosure. (currently a large, empty cricket keeper until he outgrows it) He won't always finish all the crickets I give him. In the case where the crickets were dusted, what do I do with them? Reintegrate them into general cricket population...

Pascal seems to go exclusively at bath time. Obviously, I can't leave him in there while I clean out the container. However, I don't want him to get super cold (or get away) while I take him out and clean the bath tank. Putting him back in the basking enclosure and then just taking him back out...

Pascal seems more lethargic and less perky today and refused food this morning. He's ~9-10 weeks old. I think he's about to shed; some of his skin is turning a lighter colour. He hasn't pooped today but did so twice yesterday. We have been bathing him once a day as a general rule for about 10...

At what age is it best to transition from cricket feeding three times a day to twice? Pascal is roughly 2 1/2 months old and gets offered crickets in a separate container 3 times a day. At what point does this become overfeeding?

I haven't been able to find much information on if the nighttime temperature should be different for smaller dragons. I saw on one website that it's better to keep the tank up near 80-85 at night but haven't been able to cross-reference that with anything. Since then, I've kept the tank up and...

Hi, everyone. Picked up a beardie for the wife and I the other day. We named him Pascal. He's about 10 weeks old. I wanted to make sure that I'm doing everything right with tank setup as much as possible. Tank Size: 55" x 22" x 25.5" (Atasuki, second-hand) UVB: Reptisun UVB 10.0 (36")...
