Thanks, I talked to my mom and dad about it and we said it was the cricket poop.claudiusx":2tbx8eqm said:It was more likely due to seasonal issues. If you were having a reaction from anything beardie related you would have noticed it while he was in your home.
Most likely just pollen or something in the air.

SO my next question is can you feed a baby BD without crickets or is it essential for them?
I agree I was thinking about different food for a Beardie to...BigD16":2a66t1fi said:It was more than likely the cricket feces you were allergic to. I know when I had my clan of beardies no matter what I did.. I could wear gloves, I could wash my hands 20 times... I could feed my dragons, wash my hands, and touch my face hours after handling the crickets and washing my hands and I was an absolute mess. I'm talking violent coughing, tickle in the throat I couldn't scratch no matter how much I coughed, red glassy bloodshot eyes to the point it looked like I had double pink eye. runny nose.

Ok I will keep that in mindAaradimian":34oat00h said:Dubia roaches are a good feeder, but you can be allergic to their droppings too, I've read. It might be just trial & error to find one that is good for your beardie and non-allergenic to you.HemiLeo":34oat00h said:I agree I was thinking about different food for a Beardie to...BigD16":34oat00h said:It was more than likely the cricket feces you were allergic to.

Then after I brought him back to school I started having BAD eye problems... to the point I was balling my eyes out.
SO my question is can you be allergic to them.

I'd have thought that this was impossible but I saw my lung doc today for my usual asthma check-up and she said that people who work a lot with snakes can become allergic to them, though they don't know why. Small furry animals (rats, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits) are much more common allergens. But snake allergy is not common; I'd bet on the bugs as the source of the problem.
Some do--not all, to my knowledge.HemiLeo":1eewfp7f said:Do they have oils on there scales/skin???
Some snakes polish their scales. They secrete an oily substance from their nasal passage, and then rub the secretion all over the scales. This is done at varying intervals depending on the species of snake, sometimes frequently, other times only after shedding or molting. It is thought that scale polishing is used as a method of waterproofing, and it may also play a role in chemical messaging or friction reduction.[7]
