    Bearded dragon not growing

    I got my bearded dragon from a breeder at a reptile expo around late september this year at two months old. He's always eaten fine (around 15 to 20 crickets a day) and would consistently eat his salad until recently. I've checked common bearded dragon growth charts and it seems that he should be...

I adopted him from a previous owner who could no longer care for him. He...

    Weird Behavior

    My beardie has been acting a little weird lately. About a month ago he had a huge shed, which we all know changes their hunger level and their behavior. After that he has been in his cave for long times each day. From about the morning to 3-5 (when I feed him and bring him outside). He also...

    Tail Rot?

    I have a question about my beardies tail. At the tip it’s kind of black, and at the very very tip it looks like some black coming out of the tail?

    Yellow fungus?

    Hello, I’ve had my bearded dragon for 6 months now. Somewhat recently I’ve noticed his beard is turning a yellowish tinge. Not exactly sure how long it’s been that way. He seems healthy to me. He’s alert, active, gets UVB, calcium, and a balanced diet. I can’t tell if this color is just his...
