Are farm-raised snails without shells an okay staple for a bearded dragon or should they be an occasional treat like hornworms? My dragon, Spirit, really enjoys her canned snails but I am worried about that. Her normal bug staples are dubias and bfl from my colonies and silkworms when I can get them.

Without knowing the nutrient contents, especially fat, I can’t really say one way or the other. I haven’t heard of many people offering snails, but without knowing, I wouldn’t exceed being the occasional snack. Eating foods high in fat can be harsh on the organs.

I seem to recall @kingofnobbys having some experience with feeding snail. Any thoughts/input?
Zee: if you search for “snails” there are a handful of past threads where it’s discussed a bit.

Too spoiled? | Behavior
So Luke stopped eating unless i hand feed him. I dont mind at all but i would like him to be a little enthused about it. He is just kind of like yeah whatever. His lighting hasnt changed at all and the reptisun bulb is like 3 weeks old. Food is the same too. Just wondering if i spoiled him too...

I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.
So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?

Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
