Not Melody

When Melody was sick. Stress marks can occur when you bring them home or they're real sick. She's well and happy now.

Melody now

My new baby beardie has stress marks. How can we help them go away? Are we holding them too much? Our cats like to sit outside the glass and watch, is that a problem? Will they just go away eventually? There is healthy poop (i compared to pics in other topic) every day and they have had a bath to help with hydration. Any idea?

My guy almost always has stress marks, they only really go away when he's out of the tank running around. Just depends on their personalities sometimes, I used to be really worried about it but I know his set up is right and he's healthy so there's nothing 'actually' wrong

Thanks Amber. I worry, but I see him running around scratching at the wall, so i got him a climber, that he loves and a new vine to crawl on. And its great, he bobs his head at the cats and give em the evil eye! They love to sit and watch him. When they walk away its as if you can hear him say "that's right.. walk away cowards" lol!
HOpefully they will go away or slowly do so as he gets older. Right now he's in a 20gal, but he's just a baby, so I figure in a month or two i'll get him a 40 gal, or a nice tall wooden one. ... btw.. what does viv mean? lol
