Hey y'all! Our little Kozmo has me worried. She's our 2nd beardie, but it's been 12 years since we cared for one and I'm a worried momma. With all the talk about MBD, I feel like I'm constantly watching for signs of something to be wrong. Her lips, her feet, her poop... haha! And I know she's tired of me constantly poking her and forcing veggies.
We bought her from a chain store PS in October after our 15yr old daughter begged for her. She was tiny, 5in head to tip of tail, and maybe 2mos old when we brought her home. She's always loved her dusted crickets and now dubias(5 days calc -2 days vit), and the occasional super worms. She does not like her greens or veggies, I force a few greens or peppers or squash daily(try to slip them between her lips until she takes a couple). She's bathed at least 3x per week, more when shedding. She poops a couple times daily and has a comfortable home, 105 basking side - 85 cooler side. She's under a Reptisun 10.0 long tube and 2 MegaRay murc-vapor lamps because they sit on the metal mesh top of her vivarium (36x18) and I was worried she wasn't getting the full effect of uv through mesh.
So, she sleeps sometimes hanging vertically or horizontally on the faux rock wall, but now that she's getting bigger, 12+ Inches, she sleeps in the floor with her front foot/feet folded under. :| and the back edges of her jaw/lips are kinda loose. Is that normal? She likes to run around the house at full speed, she's fiesty! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
