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.

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...

Ok, not really, but I just though Thor's scales look really cool right now.

He's not eating a lot, his whole left side of his back and tummy are in various stages of shed. But he played a little today (I have a shoe string he chases.) Then he had a bath for about 20 seconds right before he pooped, and was ready for bed. found out he likes kiwi, does not like cherry juice

Ok, so normally I struggle to get Thor to eat any type of greens, and because of that, I limit his bug intake to make sure I maintain the proper ratio. Now, he's eating at least two whole leaves of greens every day. Because he's still in recovery and his fat stores are still low, I'm letting...

Someone forgot to take the dish out before I went to work today.

Thor's left leg in the pic is swollen. He's not favoring it, but also not using it a whole lot. He was fine this morning. Trying to get an appoint to the doc, but it was already after closing time when I noticed this. Could this be anything else? He eats about 10 small crickets three times a...

The nearest exotic pet vet to me charges $183 for a fecal test. Is that a pretty standard price? Curious because Thor is my first non-furry pet, and I don't know what the vet costs typically are.

I can no longer get the bulbs I was getting for Thor which were inexpensive and effective, and safe. So I now have a 150w zoomed basking bulb and 100w Arcadia something or other (too tired to go look at the box.) It's not a basking bulb though. Add those to the Arcadia UVB I've had for the...

Anyone ever seen this happen? I was able to get him to eat a few Dunia here and there, but not a whole lot. Today, he excitedly took one, chewed a couple times, and spit it out. Why?

He's mad cuz I wouldn't take him out. I had just cleaned Puff Hammy's (my hamster) house, and there was bedding all over the place. He tries to eat everything.

He was basking after a good meal, and decided to stay that way when the lights went off. He was mad that I turned on the light in the living room when I took the picture, which is why his beard is dark. Right before this, he was almost colorless.

So, I think Thor got mites from me taking him outside. I don't see any on his body, but I got about 7 off his eye creases, and just a whole bunch from his mouth creases. He's been brumating for a couple month now, and he just woke up a couple days ago. He hasn't been outside since August and I...

So, I do a lot of driving, and sometimes I get too into my thoughts. Today, I was thinking of cute or funny names for pets. Like, I have a hamster I named Puff Hammy (like Puff Daddy but also he's a hamster.) So I have two names that literally cracked me up. I plan on getting a gecko in the...

I decided to upgrade his house. I am getting ideas on how to set up his new house. He is currently in a 46x18x18, and this is a solid 48x24x24, and I can actually combine two habitats to make an 8 foot run for him. The basking bulb is in an Arcadia 250w housing, and the bulb is a 250w halogen...

So, my guy recently has been wanting out of his house more than normal. I have had the reptichips in his habitat, because he likes to dig but isn't likely to mistake it for food so he won't get impacted. Today I decided to take the chips out and just leave the textured tile. I picked up the...

So, I have been noticing these little inverted scales on Thor. They're not just on his tail, but that's where I can get the best picture of it. What are they? I only see a handful, maybe 5 or 6 altogether, but is this indication of something worse yet to come? 4x2x2 wood enclosure, Arcadia...

Finally upgraded his coil uvb to an Arcadia ProT5 12% 24 watt. And I added organic topsoil to his sand. I'm hoping he enjoys digging in this more. I also bought a hide for his cool side. It's actually for the small, furry types since it's made from Timothy hay, but he doesn't eat it, so it was...

I see lots of posts asking if the beardie's femoral pores are clogged. My question is, what do HEALTHY femoral pores in a male look like? I have no base knowledge to compare my guy's pores to. I'm away for a month, my mom is watching Thor ( and my cats Piper, Norman, and EC) so I can't post...

So, as I said in my intro post, here's some pics. I know I'm doing a few things you guys don't approve of, but they work for us. I use sand because he loves to dig, but the excavator sand was chewing his nails up too fast, and he isn't a fan of the reptibark. He doesn't ingest any, as he...
