Posting a question here out of curiosity. I have two rescue dragons and the younger one who’s estimated to be about 5 and a half years old now does this a lot. To begin with he wouldn’t eat greens at all but he now eats them fine (although he’s picky about what he likes) but I’ve noticed some...

So I’m making this thread as a place to provide updates on my now elderly rescue Spike as some users who’ve been helping and following his recent health scare have been interested in continuing to know how he’s going. For those reading this who haven’t read about his health scare last year...

Making this post to expand upon something I’ve talked about before here in regards to keeping good records for your dragons as it makes things not only easy for you to go and reference their care history but also makes for a great useful resource for any vets your dragon may need to see. To...

Hi all I’ve posted before in these forums about my rescue dragons and this question is regarding my oldest rescue Spike. Found out that he’s older than initially thought so he’s actually about 8 years old and he was in at the vets for a blood test a couple days ago where we noticed a swelling in...

Hi everyone. Figured I’d make this post to share some resources I’ve come across that are great sources of food, supplies and healthcare for us aussie owners. I am based in the Hunter region of NSW so some of these will be more for people in this area. Reptile Realm (reptilerealm.com.au) -...

Sharing this here since I’ve just made an accessibility ramp for my oldest rescue to help him access his higher basking platform. Previously he’s accessed this platform using a log/branch decor piece however he’s getting old now and isn’t quite as mobile as he used to be in addition to having...

Not so much a question as it is sharing about one of my rescues. Some of you have probably already seen a bunch of stuff I’ve posted about my rescue dragon Spike. He has a blocked tear duct in his left eye that’s resulted in some swelling toward the front of the eye (under the skin and toward...

Thought I’d post about what I’ve done for my eldest rescue Spike in the hopes it might be useful to someone else. Spike currently has an eye issue that is a suspected blocked tear duct that has resulted in some swelling, watery eye and discomfort. He now has a special eye cream to treat this...

Hi everyone. I figured I’d make a post here about my DIY Outdoor setup I’ve made for my dragons so they can get time in the natural sunlight and stay safe at the same time. The setup is pretty simple so you don’t need to be extremely skilled. What you’ll need: stiff wire mesh panels A roll of...

I’m asking more out of curiosity than concern but my youngest dragon (estimated to be around 4 years old) who I got as a rescue from unfit owners head bobs at me and my family members sometimes with a darkened beard and sometimes without BUT he only does this when we are in the kitchen...

I just got some unfortunate news from my vet about my eldest rescue dragon Spike (a 4-5 year old male Central) some quick backstory: his original owners had no idea what they were doing and as a result one of the issues he was suffering from was calculus buildup on his lower jaw. Recently he...

My eldest bearded dragon has lost a claw on one foot entirely. I just noticed it today and cannot recall whether he had the claw yesterday or not. I have retraced where he has been today and did not find the claw at all. He doesn’t seem to be too bothered by it and didn’t seem to be in pain when...

As the title says I’m wondering what color morph my newest boy is if he’s any at all. I have almost no background info on him as he was a rescue from previous owners who didn’t have or provide any information as to where they got him or the like. We think he’s 1-2 years old. I apologise about...

I recently acquired a second bearded dragon. He’s younger than my first but I’m not 100% sure about his age other than that he’s at the least a year old. His previous owners didn’t give him proper care as they his resulted in a lip deformity (as shown in the attached images)just wondering is...

I have an adult beardie around 2-3 years old with previous ill health from former bad owners (gut parasites and malnourishment) all of that is cleared up now and he seems healthy. My one concern is I have noticed he has some dark patches inside his mouth and I have heard that mouth rot is...

So recently I noticed a spot on my beardies chin that hasn’t gone away after he has shed. While doing some research I came across this thing called yellow fungal disease that can affect them. What I’m wondering if whether this is what my boy has. The images I have attached show the affected area...

For some probably relevant background here my beardie is a rescue. His original owners had him in a tank with another male and they’d fought, he had some injuries when I got him, most notable a front foot toe that seems to have been broken/dislocated and healed at an odd angle and a rear foot...

Hi guys. I’ve got a bearded dragon I picked up as a rescue last year from his previous owners who didn’t know what they were doing. We think he’s about 2 years old. He was underweight and had gut parasites when we got him but all that’s cleared up now. He’s a healthy weight and the parasites are...
