    I took in a rescue!

    Hey everyone, So random opportunity knocked on my door today. Just yesterday, my neighbors across the street found out I kept reptiles when I was outside with my chameleon. I mentioned I had bearded dragons as well. Today, one of them knocked on my door and told me a friend of hers from the...

    Stunted Growth Since Coccidia Meds?

    Hey all. So my girl Alucard has been treated for coccidia on two different occasions since I got her. When she was only 60g or so the first round and her dosage was barely anything. Due to this, it didn't clear it up, so she was on it again at a higher dosage for a longer length at 160g. Thing...

    Baby beardie wants to swim!

    I know this is nothing too crazy as naturally dragons know how to swim, but she's the first dragon I've had that wants to swim. Simon used to sit and soak, Richter tries to escape, but Alucard wants to swim! https://youtu.be/GOiYcMdkmWE It's too cute not to share, and I feel badly she didn't...

    My macho male dragon is waving

    Hey all, Richter is about 8 1/2 - 9 months old and ever since probably 5 or so months old he's been a very territorial head bobber, foot stomps and darkening beard and all. He's clearly the king and needs everyone to know about it. He head bobs on the floor, looking through the window, on top of...

    Scales appear raw under shed

    Hey guys, I'd hate to chalk this up to just irritation and thought I'd get some second opinions. Richter's tail has been shedding in waves, having shed a stripe above and below the questioned area at the same time this one was forming. My concern now is this middle area looks red and irritated...

    Beardie Travel Carrier

    Hey all, I'm sure there are many carriers out there, but I decided to finally upgrade from my clunky plastic cat carrier to one a little more convenient for a beardie and I love it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EW2WHFS/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_199_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MT7CWRB4ZPMQXGRY4P2H Size...

    BSFL "Poppers"

    Hey all, Was curious if anyone has tried Symton BSFL poppers? http://www.symtonbsf.com/store/p25/PopWorms%21_Premium_%282500__Dried_Larvae%29.html I actually went to their site to purchase some BSFL for my new little baby, but of course got hit in the face with an ad for their new seller. I'm...

    How unique are the markings on their heads?

    Odd question. I am considering getting my first tattoo to be a tribute to my beloved dragons after the passing of Simon. I'm planning to get their head markings as the tattoo, but very curious how unique each dragon's making is. My idea will not be swayed by this but is more for curiosity sake...

    Alucard's Journey

    I'll try not to make this introduction too upsetting. After the sudden and tragic passing of my two year old, Simon, I had an empty enclosure and a beardie sized hole in my heart. Simon was buried in my front yard, and a red maple tree was planted on her grave site as a memorial. Richter came...

    URGENT - black beard and limp

    I just got home from work and my sick girl Simon has a black beard for the first time in her 2 year life and is extremely lethargic. She wants to keep her eyes closed, will not hold her head or weight up, and is generally unresponsive. She has been sick about two months, not eating and passing...

    ABDragons Customer Service

    Hey all, I want to start this by saying this is not a paid endorsement, I do not work for them, just simply I use them as my trusted source of good dubia roaches by mail and thought I would share for others. ________________________________________________________________________________________...

    Beardie Nest

    This was an upgrade long-time coming and is too cute not to share. Richter, my 7 1/2mo old dragon is growing huge, already 18.5" long and 420g. His little basking stick hasn't been able to hold his full body in a long time, though his favorite position has always been to dangle from it. I...

    My Arcadia bulbs have arrived!

    Hey all, Just wanted to share the excitement that my new Arcadia bulbs arrived yesterday from lightyourreptiles, and I just quick wanted to say that Todd there has amazing customer service skills. They were sold out for two weeks, so he threw in some goodies with my purchase to make up for it: a...

    Shedding info for Newbies

    Hey all, While being a member of this forum for a few months I've seen quite a few posts concerned for their dragons that turned out to be shed. While holding Richter tonight, I noticed he is shedding basically all his extremities to various degrees and thought maybe some visuals would help...

    Active, alert, but won't eat

    Hey all, I had been talking with AHBD on another topic I created regarding Simon, my 2yr girl, but need to revisit this. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=231790 Simon had a quick-care vet check-up weeks ago after not eating. Vet was concerned she was retaining fluid or had eggs based on how round she felt...

    Only eats calcium dusted dubia

    So Richter developed a new habit of refusing dubia unless they are dusted in calcium... this started about 2 days ago. That's great and all, but I want to make sure I'm not giving him too much calcium at this point. This is coming from the dragon that would only eat the "fresh" BSFL, and as soon...

    Carrying eggs or retaining fluid?

    Hey all, hoping for some input. I took both my beardies to the vet today for the first time. I visited their mobile office, so testing options were limited. Richter got a clean bill of health besides possible pin worms, and was administered an oral dose of dewormer. Simon, however, the vet...
