    Introducing Tank!

    Sometimes they get over spoiling. I used to have to hand feed Travis - and by handfeed, I mean pry open his mouth, insert cricket, and close his mouth around it. He now hunts on his own (finally). So you can keep tong feeding a bit longer if you need to. What I would do is put the tongs over...

    Bearded Dragon Behavior

    You may just have a crazy one. I wouldn't worry too much about it - if its brain damage, there's nothing you can do anyway. Just continue to enjoy your crazy baby and feed him when he'll take it! I've discovered that zucchini will make just about any dragon get up and do a tap dance for you...

    Weight gain tips

    I'm trying to put some chub on Adonis and Erianthe. Does anybody have any tips for that? I've tried baby food, and they snub it - they're so far only interested in mealworms and chopped leaves (herb mix and kale). Does anybody have any other ideas?

    Thanksgiving Dinner

    Mine loved the sweet potatoes. Adonis and Erianthe had to come with me for all my Thanksgiving travels since they're on antibiotics. They seemed to enjoy all the traveling though. They got to ride in my lap and kept getting fussed over by multiple people. Adonis learned to beg for popcorn...

    Introducing Adonis and Erianthe!

    I made the mistake of going to a reptile expo in Birmingham (monthly thing), and was walking around checking out the beardies. That's when I found Adonis. He was so precious, that while I had zero plans on another pet, I asked my husband if we could get him for Christmas. He agreed, and I...

    Help! What to do in case of theft!

    I would go down to the station, tell them your suspicions, mention that the woman you suspect stole it is abusive, and then contact your girlfriend. Maybe she can work it out with her mom if that is what happened - if not, at least her Mom might end up admitting to it, and then you can waltz...

    Help! What to do in case of theft!

    Call them and tell them. They have to at least write a report and do something - you were robbed. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the mess I would be in if I were you. Seriously, call the police and tell them. They should send someone to your house, you can show them the tank and how he...

    She was jealous

    I just commented on her album! She's adorable! I want to hug her and squeeze her and love her and call her George.

    leaf lettuce

    A little butter lettuce as a treat would be ok. Like, do a mix of mostly kale, basil, and stick in a little bit of lettuce. That way your dragon gets the deliciousness and he gets the nutrition too. There are studies that show that human women who eat iceberg lettuce actually lower their...

    You should make a "both equally" selection.

    Girlfriend just doesn't understand

    My husband isn't thrilled that we have a small zoo, but he loves each of the animals. He gets worried when they're sick, finds new toys for them, checks their thermometers more obsessively than I do, and he respects the fact that I love having a zoo this big. I personally think everybody...

    Girlfriend just doesn't understand

    I think smacking your boyfriend in the back of the head, Gibbs style, would be a wonderful idea. I do not understand the mindset of getting animals, not taking care of them, and then whining about what they need for their care. Or you know, sell him on Ebay and pick up a newer model...
