    Nazar is having a shed and yesterday her tail shed came off and her tail spikes are extremely brittle and the scales are spaced out with the spikes overlapping eachother, it looks like human dry skin, is this perminent? Did i not put her humidity high enough? I usually keep it at around 35 for...

    Near perminent black beard??

    Nazar has been really pissy from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes to sleep. She just entered a shed so that could be it? She has no stress indicators apart from the black beard and being pretty lazy. She's about 6 or 7 months old but I'm not positive

    Metallic Poop Smell

    I just found out that poop smell can be an indicator of health so maybe I'm just paranoid but I swear Nazars poop has been smelling very very strongly of metal, like snorting lines of a crushed up magnet. She's been very active and seems to like running laps around her tank when she wakes up to...

    Is this a black beard??

    Female, 6 or 7 months, grey-ish bottom of jaw? Is this a black beard? Is it bad or is she still just a cranky baby? She doesn't get stress lines much anymore. Basking is at 100 to 105, she is fed as much crickets a day as she will eat on her own (usually around 7, max has been about 14), there...

    Uneven Feeding Pattern

    So my dragon has kind of always been like this so I figured it was normal, looking through the forums I now realised it wasn't and I'm not sure what to do about it. My dragon doesn't eat every day, she won't hunt every day so I eventually stopped and feed her every other day or once every three...

    URGENT

    I'm in Minnesota and we had the first snow of the year, long story short the temperature change resulted in my dragons uvb light breaking... I'm not sure if it's working because it was during the night that it happened but does the uvb bulb secrete anything harmful if it does turn on?

    Tips on showing a lizard not everything is prey?

    My dragon likes eating but so does everyone else's. The problem here is my room is extremely small so my fish tank and lizard tank are directly next to each other and my dragon will constantly try eating my beta. I eventually put a magnifying glass between their tanks so that the dragon will see...

    Possible Broken Rib

    My beardie jumped off the table a few days ago and landed pretty hard on the printer, she had deep stress marks and was jumpy but after a few hours she was fine. I just noticed yesterday that her lower rib is poking out? Shes jumping and running fine and doesn't show any pain, no stress marks or...

I have an old 35 gal (long, not square) and im planning on getting a Leopard Gecko at an expo I'm going to in December. I'm not sure exactly what I'll need for the tank set...

    Sand Substrate

    Is it at any point okay to have sand or dirt substrate for bearded dragons? Nazar will dig under the puppy pad in her tank and she seems to like being covered up when she sleeps, she has a washcloth in there now and if I cover her up at night she doesn't seem to want to dig as much? Could I get...

    Handling While Shedding?

    Nazars going through her first shedding under my care, it was her entire back and tail and I didn't want to bother her too much in fear of taking off the skin accidentally but it's been about 2 days and she's starting to get antsy and wanting to get out. The skin is mostly gone now but shes...

    Weird Behavior?

    Nazar has been acting weird today, she has been bobbing her head at her reflection (resembling a male mating dance) and waving her arms at her reflection? What is she doing? I'm 99% sure she is female as I used the flashlight method and just checked externally and she looks like a female so I...

    Scared or Exploring?

    I usually take Nazar out when I'm doing homework, she will smell my keyboard and try eating my screen and generally stay in my line of sight, thought the past few times I've taken her out she will stand up as if shes hunting and just run? I took her up on my bed for instance ( I'm on a top bunk)...

    Bloated

    Nazar seems to have blown up since last night, she was basking like a pancake all day yesterday and ate about ten crickets before going back to her basking spot. She pooped last night and this morning and twice yesterday so I don't think that it's constipation. Her basking spot is about 100 or...

    Drinking VS Drowning?

    Nazar was put in a bath for the first time today, admitidly the water was fairly cold so it might've just been a slight shock? She imminently puffed up (she's never blackbearded so far) and after a minute or two she dunked her head underwater and was opening and closing her mouth, I took her out...

    Ceramic Heater

    I need a reccomendation for a good ceramic heater? I got one off Amazon that barely does anything at all unless it's paired with a light source, temps are dropping and for now it's doing okay but by mid winter it'll drop to 30s or 20s at night so I need to start preparing now (she's a baby so Im...

    Subtrate

    Would using puppy pads for subtrate be okay? They are white so im worried about them hurting her eyes. I could use outdoor carpet if needed but i have almost a whole package left over from before my dog was trained and two fit perfectly in her tank. I will only be using them until they run out...
