    Are his ankles ok?

    It's fine uncovered. You will need to upgrade soon anyway. They grow quickly. You need 6 inches between him and the tube. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are his ankles ok?

    Syringing medication is fine. It should be a tiny measured amount judging by his size. Mixing it with the fruit of a juice, like a strawberry can encourage them to lick it off your finger if they struggle with the syringe part. Did the vet perform an X-ray to check bone density? Or do a...

    They are much more intelligent than people give them credit for. They tend to be lumped in with snakes as pretty dumb and emotionless but they are actually more intelligent than most rodents. He will get to know you and will come to trust you. It's a very special bond. People (who don't have...

    Are his ankles ok?

    I wouldn't syringe feed him if he is eating bugs. They can get dependent on it and it can be risky so is best left for worst case scenario. Well dusted dubia and any other bugs you can get him to him will serve him much better than syringe feeds. MBD can be reversed to a certain extent and a...

    Are his ankles ok?

    A good vet will help you make the right decision. Be guided by them and ask them lots of questions before deciding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looks like it could be gout, which can be fatal for dragons. Vet ASAP Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fantastic news! Does he turn down bugs when offered or does he just not want to chase them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Loose substrate should really never be recommended to another keeper. It is something that should be carefully researched and considered by the individual. As a member of an Internet forum, you have no idea what their husbandry is like or what their dragon is like. You could sentence a dragon...

    This is a dragon that has been found on a road and an owner that has never kept them. Please don't push loose substrate, it's very irresponsible. I did already state that it can be done safely by experienced keepers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It harbours bacteria and can cause eye/lung issues and impaction. With perfect husbandry, it can be done safely but for a new keeper and a dragon with unknown history, it's far too risky. Something like tile or reptile carpet would be your best bet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New dragon owner! Help wanted!

    Anything is better than nothing! Good job. I would avoid feeding him much until you can be sure he has temps high enough to facilitate digestion. That's where the 100 degree basking spot comes in. It will need to measured with a temp gun or a thermometer that has a probe that can be placed on...

    Most important things are a basking spot of 105 degrees. A uvb tube that spans 2/3 of the enclosure, at least 10% UVB. Ideally the minimum enclosure size is 4x2x2 but a 40 gallon breeder will do in the meantime. Lights should on for 12 hours and off for 12. No heat or light required at night...

    How to tame a juvenile beardie

    I would, yes. Keep it short and calm and do it a few times a day. You can gradually start increasing the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How to tame a juvenile beardie

    I don't think it's a personality thing, just a baby thing. Some of the most nervous babies grow up to be extremely tolerate and sociable. The best way to tame them, is to show then that noting bad happens when you pick them up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
