After being away from this website for essentially 4 years, I feel ready to be able to come back and finally, at last, post my goodbye to my sweet bearded dragon, Pancake. I want to once again thank any of the users who helped support me during Pancake's unfortunate health issues. I couldn't...

Okay so, in August Pancake went through a really big shed. I was giving him a bath around mid to late august to help with his itchiness, and he ended up dunking his nose in the water (to itch his nose on the bottom of the tub) and Im fairly certain he aspirated some water when that happened. A...

Hello, I found cactus pear locally and excitedly bought a few of them since beardies are supposed to love it. I was looking through some older threads on this website for how to prepare it for beardies, and came across a thread asking if it was poisonous because their dragon didnt like it at...

Hello everyone, I was told by the vet to increase Pancake's daily feedings to twice a day, and I have had success with his weight at last :D He has gained weight and is staying steady at 300g. But recently, he is going through a very big shed (he's about two years old, and it's literally...

Hello everyone, I purchased one of Zoo Med's timers today, the one that's a power bar and timer combined, but my fixtures just won't plug into it?? My dome light fixtures are exo terra, so I wondered if maybe that was the problem. I tried plugging my UVBs fixture (since its the ReptiSun) into...

Hello everyone! As some of you already know, one of my jobs is in a pet store. However, I only work two days a week here and I'm the only employee with a reptile which my manager said makes things difficult when customers have questions (usually they're about beardies). So, she's asked for me...

Hello everyone, After reading some threads on here about how much their beardies love to burrow in fleece, I tried it with Pancake using some blankets. Sure enough, he happily burrowed in them and took a nap. I have a large piece which I would like to cut into strips to put in his cave at night...

Hello everyone, When Pancake was at the vet last month he weighed 277g (he is 16"). I was told he should weigh at least 377g. He did have parasites at the time, but went on medication so he is all clear now. His weight went up to 291g around the end of April, but went down to 281g in early May...

Hi everyone, My beardie went for his first check up today (slightly delayed, I know, but I finally found a trustworthy reptile vet). It was mainly to deal with an on and off eye watering problem he has been having for a few months. The vet believes it is due to stuck shed, and suggested I try...

Hi everyone, I'm assuming this is more of an attitude thing than an underlying health or stress issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else's beardie does this just incase it isn't normal. For the past few weeks Pancake has been black bearding almost every morning, starting about 5 to 10 mins...

We have 110km winds where I live, and the power flicked on and off earlier, which completely freaked Pancake out and he ran into his hut with a greyish beard. The power is back on now but his basking light is buzzing and flickering, and it's stressing him out (glass dancing, pacing, black beard)...

Hello all, I've decided I want to make a beardie first aid kit, just because you never know when you might need something and I live in the middle of nowhere so having things on hand would be a lot easier. I've read a lot of posts that recommend unpasteurized manuka honey for a variety things...

All the bearded dragons on here seem to have different personalities and their own little quirks, so I was wondering, what is everyone's favourite thing about their beardie, or bearded dragons in general? :D For me, I find it adorable when bearded dragons tilt their heads when they're...

Hello all, This morning Pancake had some slight difficulty opening his left eye, and when I looked closer there was a small amount of clear goo in it, that almost looks like the sleep that humans get in their eye. By the afternoon he wasn't opening his eye at all. I called a reptile vet in the...

Hello, I want to switch Pancake from crickets to BSFL, but I'm struggling finding somewhere to buy them from. I looked into purchasing some from the Worm Lady since I've heard so many great things about her products and they seem very reliable and good quality, but the shipping cost to my area...

Hello~ The weather here lately has been gorgeous, and not humid either, so I went out and purchased a harness & leash for Pancake so I can take him outside. But I have a few questions before doing so, 1. I live near farm fields, and they spray pesticides during certain months. Once they begin...

Hello, I don't know if I'm overthinking this, but I was wondering, is it normal for a bearded dragon to change the pattern of their bowel movements? Pancake used to have a bowel movement 4 to 5 hours after eating, but for the past few days I've noticed that instead he's been going to the...

Since Pancake is my first reptile, and he has me completely wrapped around his little scaly feet, I thought the idea of having a place to start documenting Pancake's journey with me would be fun, so here we go~ For our first entry, we will begin with the power outage last week. All went well...

Hello, When I first brought Pancake home about two months ago, I noticed that the outermost toes on his two front feet were completely bent backwards, but he still ran around and climbed fine so I assumed it was not a major issue. However, today I noticed that one of his bent toes has fully...

The power is scheduled to go out for 3 hours on Monday in my area, and I'll be staying home with Pancake during that time to make sure he stays nice and toasty. But this got me thinking, would a bearded dragon be okay if the power randomly went out while they're alone?
