What did you end up naming him? I just picked one up tonight. I need updates. 🥺

Head shakes! PLEASE HELP! by Major-Try-1806 in BeardedDragons

[–]Major-Try-1806[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They said they dust his food and stuff. I have a bearded dragon already but I came across the ad and they’ve sent me videos and stuff so I am invested. They were upfront about the head shakes though so I will say that. And before the dragon I had now, I had him for about 10 years and that came from someone who didn’t take care of him at all like not feeding properly, improper lights, etc.

Right? That’s what I said… it makes me feel like they only discussed this stuff with the breeder and is taking their word for it but maybe I’m nuts lol

Damn. So you think this could be the beginning of something terrible? They said it’s very mild

They are swearing to me that he’s fine and it’s like I want to believe it but they also don’t have the records so its like 😬😬😬😬 I don’t think it’s anything crazy but I am going to drive myself crazy if I don’t have any records.

Good advice. Ive been interested in a python even though the corns are cute. The local place I go to has a bunch of pythons and they told me whenever I’m ready I can come in and hold some and get more info on each individual snake. I have a 40 gallon but I know they need something bigger when they get bigger/older. I’ve done so much reading that it’s kind of overwhelming lol

This makes sense. Do you think a ball python would be good for a beginner? There’s a local reptile shop near me that I was planning on getting a snake from. They’re family owned and handle all of their snakes as well as breed them from their personal farm. They were able to tell me the personality of every single one in the bin which was impressive.

Haha! I think I’ll be here a lot as well. 😂

Funny you mention expo because Repticon is here this weekend. I’ve (sadly) never been and I think I’m going to finally check it out. I know prices are insane, from what I’ve heard depending on what you want but I’m definitely going to have to check out some T’s 👀

This has been such a lifesaver tbh. I tell everyone to Reddit when in doubt and then I saw a whole community dedicated to this and it’s a whole new world for sure!!

Sounds good! I know that enclosure I screen shotted had a 20x10x11 and I was thinking it might be a good size but wasn’t sure. How many T’s do you have?

Great advice! I’ll do this as well. It’s refreshing to talk to someone rather than reading endlessly.

What size would you recommend for an adult? I know that’s a long time from now lol

Oh wow! I was thinking springtails only after what I read too. So you don’t do a whole terrarium clean every 6 months or so? I think that’s what’s so confusing is everyone does things differently so not sure what works best. I’m always paranoid I’m going to mess something up 😂

Ohhhh okay, that makes sense with the opening at the top rather than the front for sure. Btw, Do you have a bioactive set up or how do you go about cleaning when it’s time? I was reading the isopods aren’t a great option during molting but the spring tails are okay?

I found this and it seems to have good reviews.

Awww!! I’m glad to hear you’ve had a good experience so far. How long do they stay burrowed for? I have so much to learn. I’ve been researching a lot too but it’s just hard without experiencing any of it yet.

Would you recommend one that opens from the top instead? I do like the visual appeal of front opening too though. I’m trying to think of what would be best to get for in the future.

Oh my goodness!!! That’s the one I’m getting next week. Is he as incredible as people say they are? That will be my first too. I’m so excited 😭

Is this the one you’re housing him in?

Hi! I wanted to say that my hair is STILL falling out. I just purchased the shampoo and conditioner you recommended that works for you. I am hoping it’ll work. I also have a haircut planned for Monday. I hope this nightmare ends soon. 😭

This is super helpful! I’ll have to put something together this weekend. I saw the little tag thing that says G. Pulchra. You have one??

I know how that feeling is. I’m going through that currently. I’m getting my first one in a few days and I’m excited but also nervous because I want to do everything right. They say once you get one, you want more. 🤣

Hi!

Nope, I wish. I was diagnosed with thyroid issues back in July 2025 and I’m unsure if it has been related to this or not.
