    Recommended Thermostats?

    Hello all! I know I've asked this question before, but Spyder Robotics no longer ships to Australia and Arcadia NEVER has anything in stock within the Australian store. At this point, it's just infuriating trying to get a good thermostat for my Iggy. So what do people here recommended as a...

    Study: REM sleep in Bearded Dragons?

    I'm not sure if this has been posted already, particularly if it was sometime ago, but while doing some research for more articles on my little ol' Bearded Dragon website, I came across this! http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-29/australian-bearded-dragons-experience-deep-sleep,-dreams/7369436...

    Interstate transport via car

    So Iggy and I, within a few weeks when it will be much colder, are going to have to make the move by compact car from Sydney, NSW, to the Victorian countryside which is a 12 hour trip or more in total. This is going to be done either during the daytime or at night, as we're not sure on that part...

    HerpLog software project

    Okay, so I hope this is the right discussion board for this! As a way of giving back to the community for all the help that has been given to me, and just as a project to bide the time with and have some general fun, I've been working on HerpLog for the past few months. An alpha version is...

    Liquid Calcium w/o Vitamin D3

    So kingofnobby's recently suggested in another thread using Calcivet, but unfortunately, it contains Vitamin D3. My Bearded Dragon gets plentiful amounts of that as it is and I'm worried he might overdose otherwise, but for the meantime, he hasn't been getting any calcium in plentiful amounts in...

    Beardie refusing to eat cockroaches

    Hello all! I don't know if this is the right board to post in for such a topic, so I apologize in advance. But ever since my Iggus became quite ill some weeks back, as seen at link [ 1 ] below, he now refuses to eat his cockroaches no matter how much I try and encourage him. Right now, he only...

    My Iggy is yawning! On camera!

    I just had to share these pictures ^_^ One of them is of Iggy yawning so, so cutely like he does every morning and the other is of me sharing a moment with him as of yesterday. I just felt so close to him yesterday <3 Please excuse the beard on the Human, I've been rather depressed the past few...

    Nighttime temperature?

    Hello all again! I didn't want to hijack a thread, so I thought to create another one instead. What is the generally agreed upon nighttime temperature for the vivarium with your Bearded Dragons? I was always under the belief that it had to be around 30 degrees Celsius until I just read a post by...

    Having trouble shedding around muzzle

    Hello all! So this is a new one to me. My 9-12 month old Bearded Dragon, Iggy, is having a difficult time shedding some scales around the muzzle/facial/head area and the scales in question are a clearly different colour (unhealthy looking, but surely not fungus related) to the rest of the...

    Possibly missing scales (white spot)?

    Hello all! So there is a white spot on my Iggy, where there was once a bruise that had lasted since its introduction at the vet around December 14th, 2017 (if memory serves me correctly) until quite recently, where it has seemingly turned into what it is now. I just gave him a bath and he's very...

    Opinions on Beardies Health and Treatment

    Hello all! So my Central/Inland Bearded Dragon currently has very high levels of coccidia and high levels of pinworms, as determined by Terry Bellamy at the Canley Heights Veterinary Clinic in New South Wales, Australia. He was prescribed `Panacur 2.5` and `Baycox Piglet`, and told to take them...

    Review my Bearded Dragon website?

    Hello! To the people that frequent here; would any of you mind reviewing my new website on Bearded Dragons and doing a little proof-reading, even if only in a few areas and not all of it? I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link to the website openly or even in my signature, but I am happy...

    Do Beardies go to water out of instinct?

    Hello all! Because today is going to be a scorcher (mid forty degrees celcius), I've added a dish and filled it with water to a point so that it's only shallow for Iggy to hop into if he gets too hot, as pictured below. My question is, will he know to go into the water-dish instinctively or will...

    Strongyle parasite infection

    Hello all! So I had a fecal test done for my Iggy yesterday and it came back today with a low concentration of strongyle parasites. The vet wants to treat this with a medication that the Dragon takes orally, I forget the name but can call up and ask if needed once again, but my question to the...

    How 'active' is your Dragon?

    I visited the pet-shop today where I originally obtained Iggy two months ago, and other than hearing them taunt the dogs and birds for making loud noises as I left *anger*, I left kind of disappointed at first. I noticed that many of the other Bearded Dragons were MUCH MORE active and energetic...

    Alarmingly new lumps that are hard and solid?

    Hello all! So I've just given Iggy his morning feed of all-you-can-eat cockroaches, no bigger than the space between his eyes (except for maybe just a few that were slightly larger) and when I went to help him onto my hand, I could feel these very hard, solid masses/lumps on his right side that...

    Plastic cover on UVB light?

    What is this 'plastic cover' that people speak of on UVB lights like the ReptiSun? When I ordered a ReptiSun two weeks or so ago, there seemed to be no applicable cover on it, unless I am missing something. I have a Arcadia 14% UVB now and that too seems to also have no cover. Is the Australian...

    Possible Vitamin D3 overdose in progress?

    I decided to start a new topic rather than continue on the old, given what had happened to the creator's own Bearded Dragon just the other day :( I don't wish any further pain on this individual and yeah, just thought doing it this way would be best... So I've ordered the calcium supplement...

    Eye is bulging out

    Hello all! So my Beardie just had his eye closed and it was massively bulging out, several times its usual size. As he re-opened his eye, the eye regained its usual size but did appear quite red and bloodshot for a few seconds. Iggy appears to be completely normal once again but seeing this...

    Black spot on the snout

    Hello all! So as of today, my Iggy is refusing to eat anything. He is going through a heavy shed at the moment as you can see below although I don't know if that is the reason for this. When I picked him up out of the feeding container just now, he instantly jumped out of my hands and onto my...
