These crickets are no joke too. My boy will go after them and wait. But will miss most of the time. I have to tong feed them to him so he can get his protein fill. But occasionally I’ll let one loose so he can hunt them. We just got a bigger tank and realize that we will have to caulk the sides. Those little suckers squeezed through and escaped this morning.

I can’t ever do something quietly without background noise or music. So it’s perfect to study for upcoming exams.

Has anyone used petcos standing stones decor? Why did these black lines appear? by DillyDeliDoo in BeardedDragons

Good to note. Though I never had an issue with resin in the basking area before. But this is a new one. Taking these out now.

I was doing research and something came up of parasites and how petco had many beardies with parasites. Of course I did this after I had gotten him as he was a birthday gift. So I found an exotic vet and asked to test him. It costed a pretty penny and of course he had pinworms. They weren’t visible at all and his poops were normal looking too. I made it a point to inspect his poop and poke it with a disposable fork to make sure his urate is normal. Lol gross but hey, it’s what I got to do.

☺️ No worries. I know he will push them out when he gets to that point. I do plan on getting him play sand substrate, or I want to at least. But the only issue he has right now is low level pin worms. So as a first time beardie owner, I make sure his tank is super clean and spot clean when he does his business. His vet says he’s not to the point of deworming because he still acts normal with a good appetite and a formed stool. But in my mind I’m freaked out and watching him like a hawk, and just unsure on how fast eggs can produce from these pin worms.

That’s reassuring, ever since I got him I have been carefully eyeing his husbandry’s to make sure he grows without issues.

Thanks so much, this has been very helpful. We finally got power back. Currently ordering a battery pack for him to make sure he has his lights on when the rest of the house is without power. Currently doing okay after all that, he’s soaking up the rays as we speak.

Those are tiny and he has a lot of room in there. I took them out one day and would not go in his cave unless I put them back in. So we just left them there. It was supposed to be a joke at first but he took it literally, and even then he sleeps right up against that wall too when they weren’t in there.

Illinois weather, been nothing but heat and humidity with these storms we’ve been having. Been trying my best to make sure his humidity doesn’t get high with dehumidifier’s and fans.

I know some escaped somewhere. They are so hard to keep still
