My first beardie

They can have the greens too. Everything except the stem. My little guy loves em better than collard and mustard greens. Oh and you asked how old mine was? I got him at the january NARBC tinley show. He was 5/6 weeks then. So he's about 7 months now.

Does her mouth have a scab running across it? that could be mouth rot. Is the Vent discolored?

She does on that one side. I wasn't sure it if was from rubbing because it doesn't look terrible (I had a water dragon a long time ago that rubbed on the screen till I got rid of it and looked worse than that). Her vent was dirty, I took pictures before I cleaned her up. The auction was really dumb, they wouldn't let anyone get their animals till the auction was over so I had to wait 3 hours after I bought her to actually pick her up. She had to sit in her own poo since she was so big for the tub-her whole underside was a mess.

What are the signs of mouth rot besides the scabbing? I am keeping a close eye on her because I know she wasn't cared for all that well.

Mouth discoloration is a sign as well, Id take her to the vet as it is, bring a Stool sample for a Fecal. They will look over her mouth for you while she is there.

Ok thanks :gj:

Oh she is a cutie pa tootie!!! You are going to be sooooo whupped in no time!!

If there is some stuff on her mouth...(I can see what they are talking about) a few baths should clear that up. I give Bob a bath every 2 days...and no....he is not fond of it...lol.

There is an awesome website for beardie food...it tells you how often and what you can feed her. I LOVE it.

Also...if yours doesn't eat greens right away...keep offering....it took Bob about 3 months before he would touch them. Mustard turned out to be his favorite!!

Congrats on getting a lil pooper!!

Sweet thank you! I did wipe some of the stuff on her lips off. I got some off with a wet paper towel, and no she wasn't fond! Does it take a lot for them to bite? It seems like she puts up with a lot and she's never snapped at anyone! Both out dogs had their noses all over her, and the cats were sniffing and crowding her :rolleyes: She was totally cool about it and just sat there looking around at all of them.

I've tried a few different veggies, but so far she hasn't been interested. I might have to find some mustard! I'm really excited to get her new setup all done!

I have no idea about biting....mine has never. The dogs come in while I am holding her and they always do one big lick on the face. He just puts up with it. Acutally I think he loves it....attention of any kind ya know....lol.

Just keep up with the veggies.....it will happen eventually. lol

Mine has not bit me yet, but he still playing a good game. Once I get my new camera, I'll get pics and video. The hissing is just comical and I really try to rile him up, and he's lunged at me, but has not bit me.

Here's my new pics...
