new beardie

Hello everyone !! My name is Abigail and I am the mother of a beautiful silkie named Charmander. She was a present for my birthday and met her at a reptile shop. I found out about her story of not having a family that can care to her very specific needs and I immediately felt the need to...

I got my beardie a little over a week ago. i’m not sure the gender or the age. i have two different lights i use the first one is a 150W basking light and the second one is some type of night basking light. i’m not sure the wattage but i think it’s 100W. i turn on the night one right before i...

My five and a half month old beardie has been with me for about 2 and a half days now. I know that part of relocation stress is a lack of appetite, but I was wondering if there's any way to help get him to eat? I think he's been drinking water, since there's consistently been sand in his water...

Hello we recently got our bearded a week and half ago and absolutely love him/her! I never knew how sweet and spunky these little guys could be, it’s adorable! We started out with a 40 gallon tank knowing we will switch to at least at 120 in the future but wanted to get the hang of things before...

A thread chronicling Hugo's journey (and mine) Because I take hundreds of pictures and need to put them somewhere! After TONS of help from other users, I got his new UV bulb set up this morning and he was in love with it. Had to shuffle a few things around in his starter tank so he could get...

Hello everyone! As posted above, I am a new beardy owner. I did my research, but I am unsure of myself. I am scared for my beauty. Currently, there is little to no appetite, and only basking/sleeping. I don’t know if it’s my enclosure, or if this is normal, but I wanted to reach out. He is only...

I just got my new beardie on Sunday. Hes a 4 year old male, his owner said he had been bred twice. He was perfectly fine during the expo, letting me hold him and he sat on my shoulder. But now he wont let me touch him and he hasnt eaten. I know they need an adjustment period but I worry. He...

Hi all! We just adopted a 12 month old beardie. He was a family turn in, so I don’t know his full history, but he’s soooo sweet and docile. We’re currently in a 40g tank, but currently deciding if we want to build a 4x2x2 enclosure ourselves or buy one from Zen habitat or Dubia (suggestions...

Hello! Yesterday I got a beardie that I've estimated to be around 5 months old. Every once in awhile, she'll make these clicking noises, which I know are usually possible signs of an URI, though she's not showing any other symptoms and seems to be doing perfectly fine otherwise. No saliva, no...

Hi all, new and excited to be here! I picked up a 4 week old beardie on October 1 at a reptile expo. Gandalf is a leatherback male and has gorgeous coloring. He’s also my first reptile. He’s the best office companion with his set up in my office on a spare desk. I already love the little guy and...

I was planning to buy my first beardie. I have been doing research and stuff for awhile now. Someone I know is selling the one they have had for a few months with a full tank set up. They do however live two hours away from me. My question is, what is the best way of transporting the beardie...

Hello! First time beardie owner. Wasn’t expecting to get this little one but things happen. Her name is Fruit, she’s a hypo something. Stunted growth so at 4 years old she’s only 11 1/2 inches. She loves to be held and doesn’t understand why she can’t hang out with my dogs and chill with them...

I recently acquired a new baby beardie about 3 weeks ago. Took her to our exotic vet to get a fecal done and she tested positive for coccidia, flagellates, and spirochetes. The vet prescribed panacur, ponazuril, and metronidazole all at .02 dosages. She is 29 grams, about 11-12 weeks old. Is...

Hi all! I adopted my beautiful adult bearded dragon on June 2nd, 2022. Her name is Keala! She. I got her from a reptile store near me. It’s now been almost 2 weeks, and she still hasn’t eaten. I have tried to feed her Dubia roaches, collared greens, apples, carrots. She doesn’t even seem...

Hi everyone, this is Milo. My wife and I just purchased him from our local PetSmart. We are doing our best to give him a loving home :) I am curious if anyone knows what his coloration/morph actually is. PetSmart labeled him as a "Red Morph", but I haven't found any conclusive evidence of...

This is the rank we have. What is the best lighting we should have. And what other essential items should I get. Tia

Hello! I have had Olive for a year and a half now, about! The decision to take her into my care was kinda… abrupt. I am still learning and freak out at every time she does something weird and new. Luckily, I have a reptile vet not too far away with reasonable quotes! Here is a picture of her...
