    Squishy head? Fat stores or medical condition?

    Better to ask than to have a sickly dragon. And don't worry about posting too much. Every body here loves talking about dragons!

    Weird breathing/popping sounds

    Rather than try any home remedies I would find a reputable vet. If you knew for sure what was wrong a home remedy might work, but you aren't sure about anything at this point. And that roommate vaping beside the tank--pound her head! :p (Seriously, point out that it isn't good for your...

    Gulping? Opening mouth at me? Help :(

    I've had my General now since 2014. She is healthy and busy. Some people call it a 'bath' and some people call it a soak. Whatever. It involves letting your dragon soak in tepid water for 15 minutes or so. I have read the info on hydration...some say one thing some say another. Notice I DID...

    Gulping? Opening mouth at me? Help :(

    Also, just so you don't panic when it happens..... Eventually your dragon will probably go in his hide and not come out! Oh Boy! Did THAT scare me a few months after I rescued the General! Read up on the bearded dragon's brumation periods and know he will just go in his hide and 'sleep' for...

    Gulping? Opening mouth at me? Help :(

    I'm glad you are devoted to being a good dragon parent! So many times they get dumped in a cage or tank and have dried crickets tossed in once in a while. They are treated like an interesting topic of conversation, a novelty, rather than a live creature. Anyway, my dragon likes her soaks and...

    Hiding beardie

    []It sounds to me like your dragon wants to bromate. The timing for individual dragons varies. Some go in for brumation once a year, some twice. I've even heard of some that don't brumate at all. My dragon acts the same way as yours when she is ready 'for her nap.' She brumates twice a year...

    What could be the issue

    I would suggest you buy a ceramic heating unit. It is like a bulb that screws into a regular lightbulb socket. It provides constant temperature but if you have a rheostat lamp switch you can test the tank temp and make sure it is warm enough but not too hot. I have the ceramic heater on all the...

    Does Remi have sunken eyes?

    Have they always been that way or is it a recent thing? Yes, show us a full length picture so we can see the eyes compared to her whole head....

    What could this be??

    It would appear to be a slow shed. Do you give her regular soaks and make sure all portions of her skin are well wet. Don't make it deep enough that she has difficulty keeping her head above water but be sure all of that peel-y looking skin is dampened. My dragon seems to like hanging out...

    URGENT: how to give calcium when they wont eat

    In looking at the photograph, the first thing that I noticed was that his eyes seemed to be sunken. Have your parents been giving her soaks? My dragon rarely drinks water, except in her soaks. I've noticed that when she comes out of brumation (I don't wake her during that time to soak her) ...

    i don’t understand lighting!?

    You've already had good recommendations on the bulbs but I would make one more comment. I use TWO bulbs one for heat and another for UV. I live in NM and we run our coolers all summer. The heat emitter is on all the . I use a 100W ceramic heat emitter to maintain the temperature over night...

    Freeze Dried Crickets?...

    My General was a rescue that had been fed dried crickets almost exclusively. When I got him he suddenly had good salads with a few berries and vegetables. He also got super worms and live crickets. I had some dried crickets left from the ones his previous owner used. When I put a couple in...

    long brumation

    Sounds like a happy event for him when you found him! I buy my worms through Amazon. Josh's Frogs has an EXCELLENT record of shipping Superworms to me. Only once in several years have I gotten a dead shipment. That happened because the post office held them over a day in a hot truck (I live in...
