    normal mouth shed?

    Today I noticed something on Queso when he was basking that I haven't noticed before, and I'm not sure if this is normal, is because he's shedding around his mouth, is because he ate some strawberries yesterday, or if this is something I should be concerned about. Along the inside of his mouth...

    Buddy & Lola

    @ Cherryfilters, my pits were both rescues, one of which was fought (Sasha). They are amazing. Sasha gets very concerned about my BD. She sits in the room and watches him, and if he does anything--moves, poops, starts eating-- she comes and gets me. She lives up to the breed's nickname...

    Buddy & Lola

    My dogs love to watch the BD in the enclosure and run in terror when I carry him around. Vicious pit bulls, right? They're also afraid of big bugs and Mom's cooking.

    My beardie wont eat or poop and wont come out.

    I would have him checked for parasites. Mine did this last October, (I thought maybe he was going into brumation) and when he refused more than one superworm (his favorite), I took him in and sure enough he had a parasite. It's not expensive or cumbersome treatment --three syringes of liquid...

    light that won't raise temp?

    Right now, I don't have a light on the cool side of the enclosure, and the daytime temp is 85 degrees. I'd like to put a light on that side so it's not so shadowy (my tank is in the corner of the room), but I can't seem to find a light that is just a light, and not a heat lamp. Any...

    Beardie not eating

    Oh, I'm sorry. I missed that he is only 6". and I fed a frozen pinkie. just wiggled it with tongs. I think it was the smell (gross) that attracted his attention.

    Waking A Sleeping Beardie

    Queso is on a much earlier schedule. He wakes up by 7am, and falls asleep about 5 or 6pm. He's near a window, and even if his light is on, he'll fall asleep when the sun goes down. So, I started matching his light timer with the approximate sunrise/sunset times in our area. Once he's out, he...

    Beardie not eating

    I would figure if he's pooping, he must be eating. Any chance he's been impacted, and he's working something out right now but just doesn't have much appetite? Also, if you're worried about hydration, you can add some plain Pedialyte to his baths. Mine went through a period of a couple of weeks...

    doesn't like salad :(

    did you read my original post? I have tried taking the prey items away on three occasions and he went two weeks without food. like, at all. I am very familiar with the whole beardies-starving-themselves-to-death thing, and I don't feel comfortable letting him go hungry like that. During that...

    doesn't like salad :(

    Well, obviously that's ideal, but per the initial post, that's not happening for Queso.

    doesn't like salad :(

    speaking of diet, do most of you feed your beardie every day? I offer, but it seems like he is more interested on alternating days, like, he'll eat one or two mealworms one day but eat really well the next day. I pretty much let him decide when he's finished eating because he's not overweight...

    Water

    I have hydrometers in three places, and the humidity is fine. The water from the misting evaporates so quickly I don't think it makes a difference. And I only mist when I'm giving him a drink, not all the time. Queso doesn't like to be misted. One squirt and he runs away. Lol. I mist him...

    Water

    Mine goes long periods without drinking, and then gorges like he's about to die. Lol. He won't drink out of his water dish (or swim in it, but I keep it in there anyway just in case he changes his mind one day), but likes it when I spray water on the glass. He watches it drip until it's about...

    photos of substrate in habitats?

    I don't use substrate... flat, easy to clean surface was recommended to me by my dragon's breeder, and I'm so thankful! It's so easy! I lined his enclosure with ceramic tiles and then usually put down a few paper towels on top of that. Super easy to clean when he messes, and even if he makes...

    how to ease out of brumation?

    That's what I've been doing up until today. He was due for a feeding/bath anyway, so we went for a walk on the leash (in which he got tangled, and then got mad at me). He's basking now and will likely be back in his hidey-hole by tonight. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't supposed to be doing...
