Here he is today! He ate 7 dusted dubia roaches. He had no problem with the calcium powder unlike my picky Mushu.

He’s a little skittish but honestly calm after he’s in my hand.

He LOVES the basking area as you can see!

And for names! We’re either going to Reptar from Rugrats or Cricket from Mulan. Take your pick!

Help Did i break her egg? How can i tell if i did?

• Upvotes

I noticed she was bloated so I felt around her tummy as gently as I could, and in her lower/mid side I felt like a hard tiny pea. So I went to go show my dad to make sure I wasnt crazy but then I couldnt find it again! ​​I tried again today and I thought I could barely feel it but I wasn't fully sure and I didn't wanna poke and prod at her anymore. But then I remembered the bet said she was going through beardie puberty! Should I be worried​ :( and if I take her to the vet how would they find out if I broke an egg inside her? ​

Meet Stumpy, Our newest baby. We picked it out weeks ago and had to wait until his foot was healing and looking better. We just brought him home so he’s still adjusting to new space.

Anyone interested in custom backgrounds like this (4' X 2' X 2')

Post image
15 Upvotes

(Not commerical!)

Hey guys! I am gauging interest in custom reptile backgrounds like this one for my bearded dragon. I paint with non-toxic materials and use a primer underneath the colors for adhesion and a sealant on top to make it more durable. I may start making these as custom commissions and/or customers can choose from designs I've already made.

If you think this sort of background would be cool, please comment so I can determine if this is worth pursuing. If I do go forward with making these, I'll be using facebook to deal with sales.

Help He ate a boxelder bug. Should I be worried?

I read that they can be a mild digestive irritant to cats and dogs but couldn’t find anything on beardies. So far he seems fine, but I was wondering if there were any symptoms I should look out for in case it’s something more serious?

Absolutely tickled to death. He’s a great eater! And I seriously think he’s enjoying matching his rocks.

FYI My adopted BD Jimmy update - any suggestions and comments super appreciated

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

It's been over a week since we've adopted our first BD - Jimmy - a 5 year old boy with some neurological issues and a problem with his tail (details in my in my first post here).

We took Jimmy to an exotic vet a few days ago, she checked his tail and overall health. The neurological part - well, it is what it is, it doesn't affect his quality of life that much.

She checked his tail and said it may actually be a tail rot, doesn't think it's a stuck shed. He was prescribed antibiotic (Enrofloxacin), once a day for a week + soaking his tail once a day, we are to get back if nothing changes in 2 weeks... I still hope there won't be a need for the tip of the tail amputation (both for Jimmies and my wallets sake, but hey, if it has to be done, it will be done).

Jimmy has a great appetite and very good sight. The second he sees some live food he runs, and I mean sprints towards it. Unfortunately he's not so keen on eating veggies - he'll eat some shredded carrots and a bit of an apple, but won't touch any greens. We will keep on trying - we will try the "moving salad" (mixing some live feeders with salad) trick and some bee pollen in a day or two. For now we make sure any live feeders are properly gut-loaded before being served.

He is absolutely lush and lovely to handle. He never, ever shows any objection to being picked up, he loves to hang around (and fall asleep) on mine and my partners shoulders.

He is also a very good boy when it comes down to taking his medication - I dilute the antibiotic with water in around 40:60 ratio, a few small gentle taps of the syringe on his lips, he opens them and lets me push the plunger, never any spills, hissing, nothing. Same thing with soaking his tail - he acts like he couldn't care less when we do it.

Such a good boy, we're so happy we got him <3

Help Is there a herpstat alternative?

2 Upvotes

Everytime i look for a herpstat 2 or 3 its always sold out. Right now i am using some zoomed dimming thermostat i only use to check the ambient temps because the dimming feature is far too complicated to figure out. What else could I use that is available i can use?

Nose looks weird

I’m a first time bearded dragon owner and I’m a little concerned about my guys nose. The first pic shows how it’s developed a bit of a hood or sticks out while the second pic shows him when I first got him. He’s 4-5 months old and my first suspicion was glass surfing but he only ever does that whenever I get the bugs out to feed him and shortly let him out. 3rd pic is when I was trying to get a good angle and thought he looked silly. He’s a hypo trans zero morph so the red nostril seems normal and I think due to the transparent see through gene.

New Beardie Friend My son just got a Beardie

Meet Chromie, got it yesterday and have spent way too long browsing through reptifiles making sure everything is dialed in.

It’s my 12 year olds first “solo” pet, (We have Turtles, Koi, and dogs) and while I’ve never had bearded dragons before, I am well versed in most other reptiles.
Anything I should be on the lookout for or just general advice to give my son? Obviously I’ll be taking on a fair amount of the responsibility myself as well.
