I will remove some water when I get home. I wasn't too sure how deep to put it. I've never seen him drink water except in the bathtub, butaybe it wasn't deep enough for him before.

Yeah, I dust it off about once a month. Sand is all removed though. I have tile for him now

I know, I know. He never threw his food around as much as he has been lately. And now that he likes to swim, the sand sticks and then it gets more and more ein his food

I'm going to see if I can find a slightly deeper, larger dish to put in his house. And I'm taking the sand out. He parades through his food, and I'm worried he'll eat too much sand and get impacted.

Yeah, I did it really slow, once I realized it wasn't just a piece of poop.

For real, I have work gloves next to his house for when I have to feed crickets.

He seemed relieved. Suddenly wanted to get out and roam.

Edit: never mind. I think it's a sperm plug. Gross. Can't figure it out. He pooped just a couple hours earlier, so I thought he just didn't get all the poop off. This doesn't resemble anything I've fed him. the tip I'm holding with tongs is hard and dark, the rest was (I am assuming, because...

That is really cool, and really gross at the same time (I hate bugs!)

If I had done even a little research before I got Thor, I wouldn't have got him. I understand the appeal because they're so darn adorable. But man they are expensive. You have a choice to make once you get one of these: invest in their health and life, or surrender them. At least she has you...

Me too. Back when I had an slr camera (before digital cameras existed) my favorite lens was my macro lens. I can't wait to upgrade my phone again. This was with a Samsung S21+ Ultra. I could have probably done a better job but he was being sassy.

Thor likes those nets too. She's so pretty. I bet it just takes a bit more time for her to coordinate all her legs properly.

For context, that looks like possible beginnings of shed. That's what Thor looks like when it starts, and it almost always starts on his spine. And he does flinch when I try to touch his shed areas too.

If you want to get a pen, get one for rabbits/guinea pigs. They have vertical bars that beardies cannot climb, and you can buy a mat to go under it to keep your floor safe from poop.

Well, from what I've read, wild beardies live around 3-8 years, while captive beardies live around 9-12. Some sites even say they live 10-15 years. You would also have to consider that, when comparing species to humans, it's not an equal ratio. Depending on life stage, it could be 1 human year...

I haven't had fritos in decades because my aunt's dog's feet smelled like fritos lol. I'll never not see worms with those.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's fortunate he had you to care for him and his suffering didn't last long. We may only have them for a short time, but they have us for their whole lives and I'm sure he felt lucky to have you.
