    New dragon, concern/help sexing

    My baby Zephyr passed away last month very suddenly. No signs of him being sick, even his vet was very surprised as he was doing really well the last time she saw him. I was discouraged from getting another, and I decided to stay with the two lovely boys I have. The pet store I work at got some...

    Male or female?

    I got beardie #3 from my job. This little guy (I think it's a guy) was bitten on the foot by his larger tank mate. I was the one who noticed him not using his swollen foot, and I asked if I could take him home and they said it was fine, no charge. The vet said it didn't look bad, since there...

    Beardie keeps eating paper towel

    Title says it all. My special child keeps eating the paper towels I line his tank with. He gets fed three times a day, always has greens to snack on, and he keeps choosing to intentionally eat the paper towel. He will look dead at his salad, dead at the crickets, and go for a mouthful of paper...

    Gender/morph help

    I got my first ever Leopard Gecko yesterday. I've had my eye on it for a few weeks now. It's very easy to handle, and it seemed like no one wanted it because of it's coloring. I like it a lot though. I just wanted to see if anyone could help me figure out gender, I cannot tell. I think it's a...

    Feeding salads in a tough situation

    I'm in a situation where I'm all out of bug meals for both of my beardies. My car's engine blew very unexpectedly, there's no buses or trains around here. I managed to get a friend to pick up 100 small crickets for my baby beardie (not sure of age, 10 1/2 inches), and 30 for my older 7-8 month...

    Is his tail cause for concern?

    I got this guy a few days ago, purchased from my job with some health issues (twitching, issues walking, falling over). I noticed his tail has.. Notches? As if it was bitten by one of the other babies he was in with. Maybe a bad shed? He shed pretty much his entire body the second day home. It...

    Meet Cider

    I don't post here very often, but I figured I'd post about the new beardie I have. I work at a pet store, and I saw one of the new leatherbacks having issues walking. It was falling over and twitching. They 'treated' it, and it improved a bit, but I wasn't satisfied, so I bought it the first...

    Apache, Nexus, and Cider's growth

    Apache started out as this very underfed and aggressive baby. He had been in the store I work at for a little over a month, he was the only "fancy" we had in that time. He gradually got more and more aggressive towards the staff, and they had a lot of difficulty getting him to eat. I brought...

    Trying to introduce new veggies

    I have a roughly 3-4 month male beardie, not sure of his age exactly, he's from a pet store. He's about 10 inches and 40 grams last time I checked. He gets a mix of dubia roaches, phoenix worms, and crickets daily. I really wanted to at least introduce him to veggies, see if he would try them...

    Growth spurts

    How fast should a baby beardie around 3-4 months old grow? My baby was 8 1/4 inches long when I first measured him on July 23rd, I just measured him today and he's around 9 1/2 inches without lowering his head (he's in his exploring mood), so he's probably actually a little more than 9 1/2...

    Behavior outside of tank

    I had a question about behavior outside of a tank for a beardie. My boy Apache is about 4 months old now, I've had him for 2 1/2 weeks, and he is the exact opposite of chill. My friend has two beardies around the same age as mine, and they're both very calm and enjoy just hanging out with her...

    Some cute pictures of Apache

    This is Apache, I've had him for about a week. He's approximately 3 months old (8 1/4 inches long), and he was purchased from the PetSmart I work at. I believe he is a hypo morph, as all of his nails are clear. Could anyone tell me what color he is? I've been curious. He just finished shedding...

    Beardie never leaves basking spot, acting abnormal

    Hello all! I'm new to the forum, and I was looking for some advice. I really wish I had come here before getting a beardie. I got a young bearded dragon (about 3 months old?) about a week ago from PetSmart. I got the 40g Zoo Med tank kit for him, along with the basics I thought I needed that...
