Cool, thanks Cooper! Hoping to be around more again now. :-) Sorry to hear about Darwin's issues.

Hi All, Used to be a regular but haven't posted in a while. Life's been crazy and I've been working two jobs, so less time to spend doting on my wee little dragon overlord (luckily my girlfriend dotes on him when I'm not around). My beardie's name is Guacamole and I've had him for... A while...

I hope she turns up for you, that's very stressful. Where are you, roughly speaking? My boy is just starting to slow down for brumation...

Hiya, Cost for vet appointments in my area range from $48-156, I have no idea why the cost varies so much. Of the five reptile vets, though, three of them are $in the $45-75 range, with the one I use being $48 (the cheapest happens to be the one I like and trust the most). I can't speak to...

Hiya, I hope you don't mind but I did a little digging into your posting history to learn more about your situation before giving advice. Since you started posting about Figment in August of 2019, he's at least a year old. Because of that, there is no real danger to him not getting light (UV or...

Hello, I do not see any yellow fungus in that picture. I do see a very good picture of his third eye! Good for you for getting him to a reptile vet, btw. A lot of people don't. Thanks, -Ellen

Hiya, So, my boy also LOVES ~The Gel~ for some reason, and due to the pandemic I usually end up feeding it to him 1-5 days a month when I don't/can't have fresh vegetables on hand. My feeling is that for a bearded dragon of healthy weight, it's not quite an optimal diet, but if she is...

Alrighty! Given the situation, I think I'm just going to leave them in the freezer for now instead of offering them to Guac. They were fresh bought when I got them, which means they have months before they go bad, and it's reasonable to expect that I might get another snake that can eat them...

Here's Guac's current schedule: Guacamole gets a salad almost every day. I say "almost" because with my work schedule, I frequently end up skipping Sunday - though hopefully this won't happen as often since I've asked my girlfriend to start checking the animals on that day and feed/spot-clean...

Hello all, So, as some of you know I've got myself a young-to-middle aged beardie named Guacamole. What you might not know is that I've also got myself a mess of other reptiles and do reptile boarding for some of my friends in the hobby. Recently I babysat some cute little corn snakes and was...

I actually have been working on a personal Youtube account focusing on animal husbandry and focusing on analysing different care recomendation sources. I planned on doing a video recommending this site to people once I got a little more established and started actually focusing on animal care...

So, full disclosure, this isn't actually for my beardie but a large female python. She's just getting out of her quarantine bin and I'm having trouble finding a UTH that's suitably sized for her permanent enclosure. Anyone have suggestions? I'm looking for something roughly 12 by 18 inches...

My current boy is Guacamole. Since I plan on getting a few more beadies in a few years when I live in a real house and have the disposable income for it, I also have a vague idea what morphs I want and what I want to name them. I won't bore you with the full list - But since I want to try to...

Hiya, So there's a few options here. First of all, it is entirely possible he does need a bigger tank. Instead of giving the measurement in gallons, could you give the width/length of the tank? They come in different dimensions and my advice regarding tank size partially hinges on that...

Hiya, This partially depends on the age and health of your beardie. How old are they? Any past or current health concerns? When were they last to the vet? If your BD a young to middle aged adult and otherwise healthy as confirmed by a vet, a few days off his calcium shouldn't be any major...

Hi again Malaina, As others have said, 50 degrees F for longer than a night or two is asking for trouble. They can tolerate it for short periods of time, but you run a much larger risk of your Beardie developing an upper respiratory infection. Most sources say that you run a risk of one...

Hi Malaina, If you absolutely have to go with one of those two options, I would go for the long, wide but short spot as opposed to the tall but only 26x11 inch spot. However, neither of these are ideal for a bearded dragon. Below is a full explanation with what most people recommend for...

Hi Brandon, Awesome, that's what I was thinking. I really appreciate the specific recommendation, too. Luckily all my herps are in one room these days, and that room happens to be my office as well. I might look into getting two so that my poor partner can get a break from the fumes as well...

Hi All, Been a while, but I'm looking for a little advice here. I work for a big university and because of this the bulk of the other people living in my apartment complex are college students (as I live close to work). Marijuana was also legalized in my state relatively recently, and my new...
