Still a newbie worrying I got Mojo, my 4 (I think) month old dragon on the 19th of July all happy and healthy from the reptile shop near by.

Mojo ate a Dermestid Larvae thingy by accident. I know that they are there to eat dead bugs and stuff, but one went up the black tube from the cricket pen as when I tapped it in the viv, one came out and Mojo ate it. Will she be ok?

She should be fine. I don't know those to be toxic. Keep an eye on her but I doubt there will be any complications from eating a Dermestid beetle. Cooper ate a box elder once and I freaked out, but he was fine.

Yes, he will be fine...I've had several dragons scarf them down and they looked for more. :)

Ok, thanks for the help. I'll try the make sure they don't usually come out but Mojo seems to be fine after that :)

Honestly, if I end up with one or two in a feeder batch... just more feeders. I've always let Taz eat them, and they've never hurt him....

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
