Need help!! I had my beardie outside and he darted towards and took a bite of a plant that resembles poison ivy before I could pull him away. Is this poison ivy? I live about in the middle of North Carolina. Should I be worried? I do have activated charcoal on hand. He is over 2 1/2 years old...

Hello I had my beardie outside on a leash and he ate a caterpillar before I could see it. I live in North Carolina (East Coast). I believe he ate an Eastern Tent Caterpillar ( I will include a picture of it). I have an emergency kit with activated charcoal. Will I need to use it? The exotic vet...

Hello! I own a 2 1/2 yo bearded dragon who will not wear a leash. I got him a leash over a year ago and he puffs up and tries to take it off. I always give in because I don’t want to stress him. Anyways, today his new leash came in the mail. The first leash I had was like a faux leather “vest,”...

Hello! Today I forgot to get my bugs out of the mailbox and many of them had died from the heat. They died within a span of a few hours, so my beardie ate good today, but I am wondering if I can freeze the rest. Has anyone done this before? Or should I just pitch them? Luckily, I didn’t get too...

Hello! As I was giving my beardie Albon liquid he took a really strong bite and ended up taking off the tip of the syringe. Should I take him to the vet or monitor his bile movements to see if it comes out? Thank you for the help. Pictures of the bitten off tip and a normal tip are here :

Hello! I have a 2 year old beardie who has a problem eating bugs when I take him outside. I keep a good eye on him but he bolts off before I can get him away. He tries to eat everything when I take him outside: leaves, weeds, bugs, mulch, etc. 2 weeks ago we went in the vet to treat coccidia and...

Hi! I own a bearded dragon who’s around 2 years old. He’s in a 5’x2’x26” terrarium. The basking bulb is 100 watt day bulb and the basking spot reaches 100 degrees F. For UVB I have a 24” 14% UVB Arcadia bulb. For a while, I’ve noticed that he doesn’t look like an adult despite his age. He slowed...

Hello! I have a beardie about 2 yo and my sister peels his shed. I tell her not to because it hurts the new scales but she does it anyways. Recently, his head shed and all of the skin was off in a day. She’s also peeled his tail shed, which has hurt the scales. Will the scales ever return to...

Not even a week after my beardie scared the life out of me and ate a wasp, I had him outside and he snatched up a dead cicada. While looking up if cicadas were ok for them he snatched up ANOTHER bug, which I couldn’t identify. I can’t believe this... I couldn’t even see the bugs before he got...

Hi!! I currently have a 1 1/2 yo bearded dragon in a plain 5’x2’x26” enclosure. I’ve always wanted to make a naturalistic (not bioactive. did that once before and he got parasites) enclosure with branches for him to climb on, fake plants, and fake rock formations. However, I don’t know where to...

I own a 1 1/2yo male beardie that is currently not eating food, only treats which I rarely feed him. He has had pinworms before (Jan 2020) and was treated for them. He has not shed since around October 2019..I do occasionally force feed him Repashy beardie buffet and greens, but he spits out...

Hi! I own a 1 1/2 yo beardie and not too long ago he got parasites. At the time I owned a dubia colony that I’ve had since my previous beardie passed away from gout (about a year.) I’m wondering what is the best way to get rid of my colony. Thanks :) -Amanda

I am greatly concerned for my bearded dragon who is a little over a year old. He is not eating anything that I put in front of him, except superworms, which I limit. This has been going on for several weeks, but I figured this might be signs of brumation (lack of energy, not eating) or that it...
