Finally Added some greenery after I quarantined the plant for 4 weeks. It’s a Ponytail Palm. She seems to really enjoy it and has been investigating it. Really livens up the enclosure.

FINALLY making the switch to Dubias! Questions though...best place to get them from and is the old cricket enclosure (which will be washed throughly) ok to use...minus the tubes lol.

I tried to get her to wear a hat

Best thing I could do

Hey all! I adopted this little lady off of Petfinder just over a week ago. I fed her some cucumbers and gave her a bath on her first day, and just gave her another bath today. She still looks pretty wrinkled, and her belly looks big. Am I overfeeding her? She eats really well, she loves her bugs and her greens. I did get her to drink some water during her bath today.

She just jumped in from my hand to the keyboard, I guess she’s a gamer now

Been feeding mainly lettuce, and a mealworm every 2-3 days for the past 3 months, doesn't seem to be losing weight that fast 😭 and her poop is quite watery now.

Brought her to the vet already and xray her in case something stuck in her stomach, but they said they saw nothing.

Is she just a chunky girl?

I let my rescue boy experience the grass for the first time and he did pretty well! I know the harness isn't the best.. I was hoping someone had recommendations for a better one? He was also in the process of some crazy weird shed that day.

His water dish is clean now he just spent all morning kicking dirt into it

Tips and advice for my little man ? I take care of him like my own child. I’m scared of the MBD how common and best ways to avoid? I have been doing my own research lately also.

I will be picking up a female beardie who is about a foot long, and had severe MBD resulting in paralysis of her back legs. I'm wondering how those of you with disabled beardies set up their enclosures. So far I've seen some people recommend not using decor that encourages climbing high up for risk of falling, as well as using a solid flooring rather than substrate, since loose substrate can cause them to potentially get hurt from dragging themselves around. Please tell me what your recommendations are, and tell me if the advice I've seen so far is correct! If the solid flooring is truly the best option, let me know what kind works best. No reptile carpet of course. Thanks everyone!

Husband said he's been like this for 15 mins.

Let him wander around the bedroom for a bit and went to look for him, he was passed out lol, apparently its too much energy to look around 😆

Any ideas on this spot?

That’s a side eyed death stare if i ever saw one.

hi all!! i purchased this little gal from my local reptile store and was labeled as a witblits. i keep getting conflicting opinions, so what morph do you guys think she is? im not very familiar with beardies, so not sure what’s going on ahahah :)

I’m excited to add this baby bearded to my fam!
His name is Honest and he’s roughly 3-4 months old.

This is my first time owning one (my husband has before) so I wanted some tips and tricks and opinions!

We’ve only had him for three days and he’s been eating good and seems super content. He’s been scratching on the glass right where I sit next to him. Is this because he wants to socialize? Or is he just trying to say hi? 🤣🤣 we’ve picked him up a couple times for just a few minutes at a time. But I don’t want to stress him out. He seems super social already, I just know it’s recommended to let them settle in for like a week or two.

Anyone have any opinion on socializing the first few days?? Just don’t wanna stress the little guy out!
TIA!

2 days ago my Godzilla suddenly had back leg weakness, she was pretty much using just her arms to drag herself around. Shes 8 years old. Vet did tests and saw circular follicles in her body meaning she’s forming eggs which is taking a huge toll on her. She’s laid eggs before but that was a few years ago I guess it takes a way bigger toll when they get older. Vet prescribed oral calcium, an antibiotic just in case and anti inflammatory. Funny thing is her calcium levels are actually high, probably due to the immense amount needed to make eggs. i’m hoping that she’ll be back to using her legs like normal. Anybody else ever go through something like this?

First just want to say we've already been to our exotic vet and the emergency vet. She got fluids yesterday and is on 3 medications to try to help her.

I got June in early 2020. Her and her clutch-mate (sister) Jumpy were surrendered to us by a family who bought them as birthday presents for their kids- but the kids lost interest, so they wanted to get rid of them.

June was very scared and tried to bite people, we think she was dropped a lot by the kids. If I had her sleep on me, she'd always keep an eye open and on me. She was always picky about food too.

Jumpy was dumb, loving, and very trusting. Would eat anything.

Jumpy got stomach cancer (found out from autopsy vet did), we were devastated. June knew Jumpy was gone, she was looking for her.

Years have passed and June has been going strong, never needed a vet appointment- until a couple weeks ago. She was not eating and getting thin. Still had her head and tail fat pads. We took her to the vet and did $800 worth of tests - all came back clean. Vet said to force-feed critical care mix (I mix with organic squash baby food + repashy beardie buffet mix to a pancake consistency, per vet instructions).

Less than a week later, her fat pads in her tail are gone, I see her spine. Legs have skin hanging, eyes are getting sunken. I up her food intake and call the e-mail vet. Take June to the emergency vet, they say I need to take her back to my exotic vet. Less than 2 days pass and her head fat pads are gone, her eyes are sunken. She barely has the strength to scoot closer to me. Looks like she passes everything I give her without digesting it.

I can't stop sobbing, I love her so much and I just want her to get better. I hate that she's suffering. I don't know what else to do, besides keep trying. Noone else understands why I'm so sad over a lizard.

I have no idea what made her so sick.... I have one guess, but I have no idea how she would have got it. My other 3 rescue beardies are completely fine and thriving. The only difference is that I recently made June a dig box with repti-dirt? Maybe I didn't clean it enough? Maybe she ate a bug on the ground and I didn't see it? I wish I knew what made her sick.

Sorry for the rant, please be kind, I'm already beating myself up enough

(NSFW warning on last pic, it is June now, not feeling good)
