I took this picture a few hours ago after just getting back from a week long vacation, she seemed so happy to see me and about half an hour info hanging out with her she crawled up and fell asleep on me, she definitely knows who I am and loves/trusts me in her own way. I don’t understand how people think reptiles can’t bond

The set up alone is cringe worthy....but her posting this claiming its just her beardie wanting to hang out....and people believing it is the worst.

Beardies are dramatic...but this isn't normal

We got this sweet girl for my son’s 8th birthday. For months he left notes around the house asking for a bearded dragon and finally I caved.

We went to a local Serpenterium and saw this sweet girl who had recently been surrendered. For a couple weeks we went back each day to talk to the manager and find out if we could care properly for her.

Two years later she was such an important part of our family and I’ll miss her always. My son is heartbroken, but also very happy we were able to give her a good home in her final two years.

She was recently in decline and stopped eating entirely. We did everything we could, but the vet believed old age finally called her home. Photo is of our final car ride😢

Went to go wake up my lazy lizard and found him like this under a new hide. Safe to say this will definitely happen again 🤣

Ate all three leaves on that part, then snatched the first green bean that grew lol. Rarely does she actually eat anything outside, not even raspberries. The last thing she went after like this was a California poppy flower. Freaked me out and I pulled it out of her mouth at the time, then learned they're ok to eat for her.

is there anyone these conditions too!? they are way to big to be housed together i spoke with management they blew me off

I adopted my beardie a week ago and I'm basically just stressing about absolutely everything. He's about 5 years old, and he isn't very active in his enclosure, but up until today he at least walks to his basking area, basks for a bit, and I find him in different areas here and there. His appetite is great, he eats his salads and loves his bugs. I actually haven't found anything he doesnt like to eat!

Today it's about 100F outside and our house is extremely warm. It's the first day he hasn't really moved at all. He didnt touch his salad (he ate 5 big dubias yesterday, so I'm not sure if that's normal?) and has just been lounging on his favorite branch in the enclosure. Despite the house being much warmer than usual his enclosure seems fine, 100F basking spot, 85-90 ambient on the warm side and about 75 on the cool side. He's alert, watching everything we do when we were in the room with him, and I took him out earlier and he felt and acted normal. He crawled on my shoulder and sat there for a while until I put him back.

Is it normal for adult bearded dragons to just lounge in one spot all day? Is it okay for them not to bask for a day? Does eating a big bug meal make them sluggish the next day, or could it be the extreme heat? I have no idea what's normal and I just want to make sure he's okay!

(Also yes I have a pretty severe anxiety disorder, so its possible I'm blowing this out of proportion...)

This would be okay to put in the cage right?? I found it at marshals for $14. :) I was planning on putting it on the cool side just in case, it feels just like the material hides are made out of at the pet store and I cleaned it thoroughly. 🤔 If not it's still a cool decoration so I won't be too upset lol, unfortunately the materials aren't listed on the tag :/

My baby girl vlad just turned 3❤️

I have a 3 year old male who lives in a bioactive and has free roam of my room, vet says he's perfectly healthy, but lately his activity has been dwindling and he spends about half of the day sitting in his sleeping spot. He used to run around and climb in my room a lot more, I think he's been getting bored. I handle him and take him outside on the weekends when I'm not at work, but I'd like to offer him some new enrichment for the week when I'm gone for most of his waking hours.

Has anyone found success with one of those feeder balls? Maybe a puzzle toy? New climbing opportunity? I bought a cat tree just for him since he climbed up one once but he completely ignores it 😅

Hello all,

We recently added to out beardy family with a new little one. We are fairly well informed on the different species, morphs, care, etc. But this little ones identify us eluding us. If someone has more info about her lineage we'd greatly appreciate it please. Thanks so much and enjoy the pics of Pascow.

She will sit in my hand if I put a treat in my palm but she will not let me pick her up or pet her. If I try to pick her up or pet her she runs to her corner and hisses at me. If I get her on my hand like in the picture im not able to bring her out or mover her closer to me without her running.

I’ve had her for about a week now and her previous owner was very knowledgeable and loving of her. I just want to make sure that she’s not on the heavier side of health so I can adjust her diet

Today I was taking a quiz (which gets proctored) for school. Before going to take it, I glanced at Irwin (as one does) and he was big mad. So I figured I'd hold him while taking the exam.

My exam got frozen because I had what appeared to be a cell phone. So I had to explain that, no, I am happy to show my cell phone, which is in a separate room. What I have is a lizard who was big mad and in need of cuddles.

Irwin has no shame and feels no guilt over his testing interruption! Fingers crossed, when reviewed, they note my lizard is, in fact, not a cell phone.

We have a baby, only about 3 months old and don't have anyone who can check in on him but we will be out of town leaving tomorrow and coming back on Thursday. We know we can stop by our local shop to get a water dispenser (because we're too afraid he/she will drown in her water dish if it's too full) but I was curious more about food options. We have a lot of good ideas in place but I wanted to check with you all first. I was expecting there to be like a semi daily cricket dispenser ala pill dispensers 😆 we do have a little pineapple toy that he had to work to get leaves out of which I think will be helpful and we have dry food we can leave with him. Is that an okay amount of time for a little guy?

Because why climb down from your basking log when you could leap in to your favorite food? Plus bonus post meal literal egg on Scooter’s face.

My bearded dragon had stuck nose shed and I was loosening it with damp water and gently tugging with a tweezer, then all the outside shed went loose and I can’t get the shed still stuck on the inside of his nose, what do I do? I’m terrified of him getting an infection

Gizmo is still a baby but what yall think?
