I have a sweet 6 (almost 7) year old beaded dragon named Tommy. Tommy has been a great beardie with no history of health issues besides parasites. He loves superworms and spring lettuce mix with his calcium and D3 supplements. His 4x2x2 terrarium currently only has paper as a substrate.

Last month, out of the blue he vomited dark fluid and lots of worms, and was walking extremely weird not using his front limbs, like he was partially paralyzed. Immediately brought him to vet...

We got out son a bearded dragon May 30th, they estimated 4-5 months old. We have a 40 gal tank, paper towel at the bottom, a basking area and a cool area, with uvb lighting. He eats 3-6 crickets with calcium a day, sometimes eats mealworms. Salad of collard greens or kale is always provided with clean water that has been conditioned. He has been shedding for about 2 weeks, the bottom jaw area had a dark color we thought was shed...

My girl is 8 years old. Thought she was shedding on her eyes odd but now a month in she's losing weight because she's refusing to eat even her most favorite blue worms. She's more lethargic in her enclosure and not as perky. When outside she brightens up and is happy but still won't eat. I have been using Flukers Repta Rinse for her eyes off and on, it seems to help in the short term(like how her eyes are open for the pictures) but they seal right back up over night. I already have a vet...

Today she started breathing really heavily out of one lung compared to the other, and has small moments where she isn't breathing at all but slightly opens her mouth. She had a bad fall recently where she jumped out of my arms after some thunder spooked her, and I'm worried she might've been injured though this didn't start until a couple days after. I'll deep clean her enclosure today in case it's a...

New here and need advice

Soooo, I have a beardie, he/she is roughly 4 months old, we purchased him/her at a week old (I’m aware that this is young but the breeder didn’t care) when he/she first came to us he/she was only eating around 4/5 crickets a day and then it stopped.
He or she is only 17 grams, so very small, I understand this is small for their age but I’m almost certain it’s down to the wax worms.

During the time he/she stopped as you can imagine it caused nothing but...

Any ideas?]]> 16 Tue, 01 Jul 2025 18:31:47 +0000 http://www.beardeddragonforum.com/threads/concerned-about-new-dragon.32227/ 32227 invalid@example.com (mathemagician) mathemagician Hello,

Concerned parent of a new bearded dragon. Our little guy hasn’t eaten more than maybe 3-4 crickets in two days. He seems to almost be scared of some of the bugs and won’t touch greens. He still explores his enclosure and interacts with us, just doesn’t have any interest in food and we noticed tonight his chin is like extra black. Should we be concerned? He actually belongs to our son and we don’t want anything to happen to him so should I be concerned or contact a vet?

Thanks...

I just got my first bearded dragon 2 days ago. He has acclimated well and everything is going great so far. However, I'm trying to figure out what the best all around thermostat and timer would be for him. I live in the mountains, so it's not terribly hot during the summer, but I leave for work at about 4AM. I'm trying to find a thermostat that has a timer built in, so I have peace of mind knowing that it will turn his UVB and basking lights on after I'm long gone. I...

Today she started acting a bit weird Earlier in the day I took her out of her enclosure and brought her downstairs to sit on the couch with us, she started gaping, which I just assumed was temp regulation since she's done it before, but afterwards I thought she was gonna have a poop but it was just a small bit of urate. I thought maybe because I interrupted her she didn't poop but she was in her...

New member here from Australia.

I've just rescued a new friend, Spud! He's a roughly 4 year old Red Morph.

He came with a 120 x 60 x 60cm enclosure running a 18w T8 10.0 UVB and had a 75w basking globe. The basking temps and distance from where it is to UVB seemed way to far. Since tried to bring it to around 30 - 35cm.

I've added a 2nd 100w globe for basking area to try and boost up temps. (Were way to low at maybe 24*) hitting up around the 37* for now.
