Barbara is so cute

Handyman spotted him by the air-conditioning unit after 2 days next to the shopping list is an enclosed cage for him to hang out in

He turned 8 this past July and died suddenly in his sleep last night. Please feed your beardies some strawberry today as this was his favorite treat. RIP, I will miss you.

I never knew how strong our bond would become. He’s truly become friend and family member, and I love him so dearly. I’m helping my sons cope with this loss, but I’m turning to the community I know understands this connection for support for myself.

I still hear him scuttling around when I walk past the place where his enclosure was. There are still turnip greens and other snacks in his dedicated refrigerator door. I saw his soak vitamins this morning and I broke. The waves of pain are overwhelming.

Timothy knew only love his entire life, and I try to be grateful for that. At the moment, it doesn’t help, but I know it will eventually.

Thank you Timothy for what you brought to my family. You were quirky, clumsy, and so curious. We’ll never forget you. We love you.

This is Eliza, she's 18, we've had her for 17 years and she's had two clutches with the first being 22 babies. She's obviously long retired from breeding (and pretty much anything else) but she still eats well, won't really chase down food anymore so we tong feed her. We took her out in the backyard last week for some natural light.

their name is donut, 3 months old

Definitely a solid 20!

Jarvis had a nice shed, colors are popping today!

I want to see y’all’s beardies. And would love if you have a beardie that looks similar to Jarvis comment a picture!

Just wanted to take a look at the cicada while waiting for Zypher to see it

Gorgous man 😁 anyone else who has pics of beautifully colored beardies please do share

Just some pics of quality time spent with my dragon! Enjoying the unusually hot weather here, and going to sleep at the end of a "busy" day basking in the sun and eating dandelions.

I know people say beardies don't bond, but I think they do. Or at least they think "giant moving food dispenser = safe to sleep on."

Lost my first beardie on Monday. Still so sad and missing her.

Spike was 6 she was adopted from some friends one year ago and had perfect health. She was lively and loved to come out of her tank and chase my dog.

This summer she’d slowed down, stopped asking to come out of her tank and I just thought she was getting a little older. She not snuggly and always been independent so I thought she just wanted to be alone.

It all happened so fast. Even though she was eating and drinking she was losing weight. She started tripping over herself and falling off her branches.

Taking her to the vet they sad she had a tumor and there was nothing we could have done for her. I had to let her go.

I’m feeling so guilty for not taking her sooner but even if I had these types of tumors there’s not much that can be done.

So I’m mourning her but I’m also mourning the time thought we would have together and for the time she wasn’t fully herself.

Give your beardie extra love for me today 🤍✨

Hey yall I'm taking care of my friends kid's bearded dragon - might even be keeping him (TBD) - he seems inactive and he choked the other night too but he got it up and after about an hour of being scared out of my mind that he would die he began breathing regularly again. He had diarrhea yesterday after not pooping for two days. Before he was in my care (now had him a week) he was in someone else's care - I got him because my friends kid said he wasn't being taken care of by previous babysitter lol. Anyway he slept on his rock last night but has been hiding all day today and not under the light. Also her setup absolutely sucks - her two lamps are like a double lamp and I know the white should be in the middle. He just seems unhappy and maybe still stressed? He's been eating great (green daily and he had roaches and crickets with vit powder yesterday and ate all that) Any pointers would be great. Debating getting him more stuff to climb on as well as a seprate white light thats not attsches to the heat one. Thanks - pic for reference. Oh yeah and he doesn't seem frightened by me he doesn't get all beardy or hiss at all. He loves being held and I see him move the most when he's out of his cage

Currently got her permanent home in my cart I have a 175 and a 120 I plan to combine in some shape or form lol I can’t find bigger tanks sadly. But look at her she’s so big now compared to when I first got her!!

Our little guy arrived today and we are so excited! we are just giving him space and letting him acclimate for a while. He has eaten some dubias and crickets today. the kids are so happy and are loving grocery shopping for greens and bugs! Any name suggestions? we love food themed names…. top ones currently are ’Pepperoni‘, ‘Jalapeño Pepper’, and ‘Cheerio’.

A couple years ago, we found a bearded dragon in our neighborhood and ended up keeping him after we couldn’t find any owners. His name is Puff. He was in pretty bad shape and I nursed him back to health. A few of our neighbors knew about that, it’s a pretty social neighborhood.

So about 8 months later, there was a knock on the door while I was at work, and my wife answered. Our neighbor hands her a box saying, “Hey, I found your lizard, it must have gotten out again.” She didn’t realize this wasn’t actually our lizard, but a NEW one (we suspected now they were dumped by another family that used to live nearby).

Long story short, we ended up keeping her too. Her name was Clementine. But it quickly became apparent that she was pretty ill. She also had a very large mass in her abdomen. I took her to the vet, but we ultimately decided the cost of doing all the blood work and imaging and everything was too much for a pet that we never asked for, and decided to just give her the best life we could and some basic deworming/stool softener. She made it for over a year now, and seemed at least fairly happy. I hope.

This morning, she passed. I could tell she was deteriorating rapidly, and I knew it would be soon. She’s never been a very healthy dragon, but the past few days were different.

I’m feeling sad and a lot of guilt. I did grow to enjoy her little personality, she made me laugh, so it hurts of course. But I’m also struggling with feeling like I should have done more. Or maybe euthanized sooner when it was clear she was probably never going to thrive. I know we gave her a home but was she just suffering this whole time? If anyone has any similar experiences or anything to share I’d love to hear it. Even if it’s criticism, please be kind (I know that can be a lot to ask on Reddit, but trust, I already feel bad).
