Swollen, closed, or weeping eyes in a bearded dragon have several different causes, and only some of them are a true bearded dragon eye infection. That distinction matters because treating the wrong cause either delays the right fix or makes things worse. A dragon rubbing its face on the glass with one eye half-shut is…
A new bearded dragon not eating in its first week or two is one of the most common things new owners panic about. Most of the time it comes down to relocation stress, a setup that is not quite dialled in, or a feeding approach the dragon does not recognise as food. Most cases resolve…
A bearded dragon sitting completely still for hours is one of those things that sends new keepers straight to the search bar. I remember panicking the first time my juvenile beardie didn’t move for half a day. Nine times out of ten, this stillness is completely normal. Beardies spend a significant portion of their day…
Bearded dragons grow fast in their first year, faster than most new keepers expect. If you’re staring at your beardie wondering whether they’re the right size for their age, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions in the hobby, and there’s a clear roadmap for what healthy growth looks like at every…
A chunky beardie looks comfortable. Soft jowls, a thick tail base, a belly that spreads a little when they sprawl on the basking platform. For years the reptile community quietly accepted that shape as normal, even affectionate. The necropsy data tells a different story. Hepatic lipidosis, commonly known as fatty liver disease, is one of…
A day before any trip with my beardie, I always run through the same mental checklist. Carrier temperature checked with a probe. Route mapped with fewer stops. Hotel confirmed as reptile-friendly. Heat packs tested an hour earlier so I know how warm they actually get. Travelling with a bearded dragon is not difficult, but it…
A bored dragon scratches at the glass at the same corner every afternoon, paces in tight circles before basking, or sits staring at the same spot for hours. Most owners looking for bearded dragon toys are trying to fix exactly that. The good news is dragons respond well to enrichment. The harder news is that…
Finding a rough, discoloured patch on your dragon’s scales sends most owners straight to the worst forum thread on the internet. Half of them will tell you it is definitely yellow fungus. The other half will tell you it is probably nothing. Bearded dragon yellow fungus is real, serious, and consistently underdiagnosed in its early…
Bearded dragon morphs have multiplied dramatically over the past two decades, and the vocabulary surrounding them is deeply confusing for anyone new to the hobby. Hypo, trans, leatherback, zero, witblits. Breeders throw these terms around at reptile expos and in online listings as if everyone already knows what they mean. There is also a persistent…
