    That snake is huge. I don't know what it is with me, but I can't see myself ever trusting one. They do fascinate me and always wanted one, but again trust issues :P. Nice collection! Respectfully, Ellis

    Fantastic news. As I mentioned they can be extremely picky eaters so I always inquire on their diet from breeders. I've had success by enticing them with dubia roaches. My girls go nuts over them. Just make sure they are young ones because at this age the tough exoskeleton of mature roaches (let...

    Hello again! From what you describe sounds like she is just nervous. I would try to make sure you spend some time with her in the same room as well as light handling. My most recent princess started eating from my hand almost immediately. Sometimes she would hesitate, but I would put one insect...

    Spent thousands on vet bills... desperate for help!

    Found this in regards to humidity. Give it a read as it goes over the humidity percentages. https://www.beardeddragontime.com/2015/12/respiratory-infection-ri.html Quote from the article... Check the humidity, it must be under 40% at all times, if not, it could be the cause of the RI. Try...

    Spent thousands on vet bills... desperate for help!

    Good morning, Are there any other symptons than the bowl movements or lethargy? Any noticeable twitching or weird postures? Did you sanitize his viv and clean everything thoroughly after his first recovery? Being at 35% humidity is really kinda high. Specially since most measurements are not...

    Relocating my 8 year old girl

    I would be interested, but I am all the way in Chicago, IL. At that age I would be scared for her to have to endure a trip that far through shipping =(

    How are you picking him up? For young ones I tend to lay my hand in front of them for a minute or so and then proceed to slowly pick them up from the underside making sure I support all legs. If one of mine is skittish I tend to leave them alone for a few minutes and try again. Force handling...

    What and how are you trying to feed her? Do you notice any loose skin from shedding? Respectfully, Ellis

    2 yo opening and closing mouth, bearding, not eating, dehydrated

    How long have you had her? Do you notice any skin or flakes on her? Sometimes they can get moody while shedding. Are you positive it is a "she"? Respectfully, Ellis

    That all depends on the health of your beardie. Usually at that age they should be eating daily (80% insect 20% veggie diet) because it is important for their growth. I would encourage to separate her entirely away from the other beardie to see if she will eat a few crickets. Make sure they are...

    Good afternoon! There is a lot of information to go over and I would recommend researching some things independently or consulting in a certified vet. I will try my best to summarize to avoid a boring long post. It is hard to put everything into text! If your measurement is accurate and your...

    2 yo opening and closing mouth, bearding, not eating, dehydrated

    Good morning! There is a possibility of a respiratory infection if she is excessively opening and closing her mouth. Beardies also sweet through their mouth as they lack the glands we have (much like a dog pants) so I would keep an eye on her temps. Only you know her personality and can asses...

    Help! My bearded dragon has smelly and runny still and I can't take him to a vet.

    PS: Please make sure to keep him clean. The watery substance in his stool will put him at higher risk of infection. Baths will also help him hydrate and assist him with shedding.

    Help! My bearded dragon has smelly and runny still and I can't take him to a vet.

    I would recommend calling the local vet as many will work out a payment plan if you can not afford the initial cost. It doesn't hurt to check. As others mentioned it could be parasites or bacterial infection. Both will not end well without treatment. Antibiotics is critical for a successful...
