[m_beardie]

thanks for your all your help
i am waiting for him to shed..
do you know if they go darker
when they shed? he has shed
once before about 3 weeks ago.
now he goes darker and is belly
goes greyish... do you think he
will shed soon??

 

[jaymeemccann]

aww them pictures are beautiful. i was looking at them on my break and thinking of my beardie, Frankie. he's only little too. they are just adorable!

 

[Chris1]

the go kinda milky before they shed, not darker,...it looks like theres translucent bluey/grey skin covering the normal dragon.

 

[m_beardie]

yeh i love beardies..
chris: is that bad??

IS there anything i should do??

 

[Chris1]

is what bad? the milkiness?

no, thats normal,..

beardies do darken themselves when basking or cold to absorb more heat, which is also normal.

when ur beardy starts going milky and shedding, warm baths help soften the skin and speed up the shedding process, mine really seem to appreciate them,.,.

ok kl

It's this powdery stuff that comes with crickets when you buy them in tubs. Not sure what's in it, but they seem to love it.

 

[jaih]

Cute.

 

[m_beardie]

yehh i powder the crickets
with whateva that powder
is lol.. here are some more pics
if you aren't sik of him yet
he's eating his crickets.. :lol:

 

[gem_vegemitegirl1]

cute

if you feed him in his enclosure, do you make sure that there are no crickets left in the enclosure afterwards? because if there are, they can bite your dragon while he's sleeping and can actually hurt him quite badly.

i always feed my beardie in a separate enclosure, it's just a plastic storage tub and that way i can see how many he's eaten and i know that there are no crickets running around loose in his enclosure.

 

[m_beardie]

oo relii??
ok maybe i should do that too!!
i didn't know crickets were so
annoying lol.. i will make sure
there are none left. thanks heaps!!!
i lovethis website!!!
ppl are so niceeeee
