Bummer Finale to this saga: Nibblet passed at home today at 1:20pm. He got to be home with his favourite person (mom), in a nice soft blanket in his home, being told how much of a good lizard he was. His bloodwork showed that he had "lymphocytic leukemia or generalized systemic lymphosarcoma"...

We got back, he's had an x-ray done. The vet says - based on visuals, she believes that it COULD be a stomach cancer tumor. Any experts here have thoughts?

I will get some slurry made for him; he's suddenly lethargic as of yesterday. Pitch-black beard, but still alert and looking around as normal. But just chilling in one spot all day. Will call the vet back and see if things can be rescheduled to next week because this is very worrisome. He's...

Admittedly it's been an ongoing fight to get him to eat greens this year. We offer him daily salads of bok/dandelion greens/collards with some slices of repashy and a few red crunchies mixed in, including some treats like 2 or 3 blueberries when we get them. But he doesn't touch it, mostly...

we've got a vet appointment on the 15th. I'm hoping that if he IS ill, it will not have progressed any further in that time. He passed another one today, it was small and had no yellow on it. But still green and white.

it looks like a stuffed jalapeno 🤢

Has anyone encountered a green and yellow 'shell' around their beardies' urate before? Niblet has had 2 of them so far. They are hard and green with a yellow tip, but when cracked open the urate is bright white. It reminds me of a chili pepper. His poops are hearty and well-digested. Only had...

So. We got a beardie from a coworker - He's 3. Was in a 'good but not great' exoterra setup with coil uvb. Fed mostly lettuces, hornworms, and the little red crunchy kibble (which he does love). We've had him since March 2022 - the first 2 months he was Piss'N'Vinegar incarnate- full of that...

Can they actually sense the rays coming from those bulbs? My adopted boy lived in a tank with a spot/coil UVB for 3 years; we have him in a tank with a 34" Retpisun t5 mounted inside on the ceiling. On sunny days, he has been nonstop wanting to get out, and when he does he goes right to the...

So, We recently adopted a beardie from a family (the kids got tired of him, and he'd bitten one so they were all scared of him) He's a bit older than 3 they think. He's lived in a smaller 36" enclosure, all glass(exoterra) with a doubledome-heat & UV combo. We now have him in a 45" laminate...

Hello there! we will be acquiring a 3-year old beardie that has been living in the same tank his whole life; a glass exoterra 12" x 18" x 36". We have a larger melamine tank that is 17" x 20" x 45" that will become his new home. What would be the best way to move him in? Do we keep him in his...

I'll be making another post about best way to relocate shortly, as not to hijack this post! He's gonna learn to love cuddling :p

Whew, I'm glad it doesn't look fungusy. It COULD be a burn; they have him in an exoterra that is around 12" tall. maybe they had a log too close and he got a bit singed. we've already decided to go ahead with this goober for next month. he is a bit grouchy but they admit they do not handle him...

We've taken a look at an adoption that we'll be (most likely) taking home in march- a 3-year-old male who's not handled much - and he has a few disconcerting patches on him. His owners say they are 'left over from stuck shed'. He doesn't have anything on his abdomen, just a few black patches on...

Okay, thank you! When she's up i'll see how she acts with the shelves in. She has a few hides i've gotten her for xmas gifts for when she wakes up, so she'll have options to escape if she wants. (shes too spoiled lol) Good to know about the Glos! I actually have the same Arcadia bulb...

The tank has an upper shelf that is just over 5" away from the bulb, if i move it more towards the front, will it be safe? I'm worried it'll be tooo close to her. Also, what are the recommendations for Repti-glo? Our stores rarely sell reptisun, but lots of Glos. Just wondering if it's...

I'm looking for recommendation/tips for the new year. Beebee is still brumating, so id like to get things ready for her when she wakes. I have a vivexotic enclosure that is 16" tall. Originally, we had a Reptisun 10 t8 that was 24". I upgraded later last year to a 34" t5. Here's a comparison...

Hey there! We bought an outdoor plant, and the minute we brought it home, beebs was glass surfing to eat the dang thing! like, this is the ONLY thing she has gone nuts over (besides worms)! I'm wondering if anyone knows what this spiky plant is, and if it's actually safe for her to eat...

Okay so. We are getting very worried now, and i'm hoping i can get more advice. Beebs has had an RI for a while. We have had her on 4 weeks of Baytril, and the last dose ended on the 18th. She stopped waking up with a blackbeard for the last 3-4 days, and shes been slightly more active. We...

Hey there, my poor baby has come down with a URI. She's been on baytril for 3 days now. I've never dealt with this before so I have some questions: 1- what is the acceptable temps at night? Do we raise the temperature overnight, 80-85? Or do we keep the temps 75? 2- do you need to avoid...
