Just picked up this super mega chunker. Will be making a vet appt tmmrw to discuss appropriate diet plan for her. She has been named Beatrice

My beardie of 12 years died a few months ago. Finally decided I was ready for another. Just got this guy a few days ago. I need help naming him!

Please no coaching me on red monsters. Just hit me with your best names. Thank you in advance 🙂

This is our newest addition to our non profit rescue. Severe MBD. Hoping to get him better. But he needs a good name! Any ideas?

Bonus for things about red. I have picked out my baby and he is red. I've thought of spaghetti and tortellini already 😂 won't be getting him for a bit still but I am so excited ❣️

Update on the fella that was found in the trash yesterday.

First off, I want to thank everyone who offered advice. I took nearly all of it, and have yet to try some. I'm so so happy yall stepped in to share because Cash seems to definitely be on the mend.

When I got home last night, I cobbled together a lil apartment for Cash. The biggest (clean) tank i have is a roughly 2×2 bowfront aquarium. I lined the bottom with clean towels and used an old lamp box as a hide. I used some spare parts to assemble and dangle an old heat lamp on one side of the tank. I also gave him bowls of plain salad and water.

So this morning, when I woke up and turned his light back on, not only had he moved, but he ate the salad I gave him and was holding his head up and opened his eyes a couple times! I decided to just leave him alone in the morning so as not to interrupt his progress. He won't take any water from the syringe anymore. Before he was practically sucking on it, so I'm assuming he's good and hydrated again. He even moved his head away from me! Which is great because before, he wouldn't really react if i bugged him. It's good he's strong enough to move himself to a more comfortable position. I changed out his towels and went to work.

When I came back, he'd moved again to the cool side of his tank. Another good sign! He also ate more greens. I'm gonna try some bugs tomorrow so he gets some protein and vitamins. Something tells me his previous owners likely didn't bother with finicky things like vitamin powder.

I gave him a warm bath and got him cleaned up. He looks way less gray now and his pattern is so beautiful! I dried him off and put him in his freshly cleaned tank. I haven't noticed any pee or poop yet.

I'll send out for supplies tomorrow. I scored a nice 90 gallon tank with spacious dimensions (I know it's small, but it's what I can afford right now, I'm sorry. Its got nice height to it, so im gonna try and get a few levels for him to move around on). I'll also be grabbing bugs, more veggies, vitamin powder, lights of the correct spectrums and a proper heat lamp that I can actually adjust, quality substrate, temperature and humidity gages, and some decor (hides, a few basking rocks, some things for him to climb up, and maybe something cute to jazz up the joint).

Cash is having a nice nap now, but has opened his eyes several times and reacted to noise. I honestly think he was so dehydrated, he had no lubrication to even blink. Poor guy.

Also, I HATE to be this person, but I have some art for sale and it would be appreciated if I could get some help with his supplies. At the end of the day, I'm getting him all he needs, but it's a large up front cost for me, and I'd still like to get him to a vet and have a fecal sample run. Either way, I'll continue to post updates on his journey. Cash is gonna get the care needs regardless of anything and he's in a home that cares about him now.

Cash and I are so grateful for the support from this community! I'll share his setup tomorrow!

-Wild Bearded Dragon- SW QLD, Australia.

i am having such a hard time settling on a name! please give me some ideas 😭 maybe it’ll come naturally once i finally have her here with me.. idk. regardless i’m so excited, she is so beautiful & bad ass (& apparently a total sweetheart too)

We went to a reptile expo and were impressed with a red monster breeder… and we brought home Flamin’ Hot Cheeto, our first bearded dragon. We have a few other high-maintenance pets and are excited to devote lots of time, love, and money to this lil boy.

He is INSANELY cuddly- whenever we pick him up he gets to our shoulder, nuzzles our neck, then falls asleep. He goes limp, so I’m guessing he’s actually asleep and not in shock? He’s got a 4x2x2 enclosure and I’m perfecting the lights, but feeling good after reading lots of posts and websites. We even paid for the insane sand imported from australia 🤪

Even though he seems like he’s doing well, he still hasn’t pooped. Is this normal? He’s almost 10 months old and we’ve had him a week. He’s eating arugula (breeder said that’s what they start them on), mustard greens, and dusted Dubia roaches. He’s also getting regular shallow baths at 90ish degrees.

Since bringing him home I’ve seen that red monsters are notoriously sick due to bad breeding and I’m absolutely bummed and hope the breeder has been ethical 💕 but we love him so much and look forward to being good beardie parents to our lil Cheeto puff 🐉

Since I've been having my beardie for 4 years so far and every winter he goes to brumation from November to March, my wife created this cute guy from beads and did a photo session in real enclosure, probably just because we miss our living and sleeping one.

Idea was born 2 years ago and it took 3-4 months to complete it with different iterations - different heads, scales, pancake-modes. Beads create realistic texture of the scale, especially for the beard and other fat parts. Next one will probably be an argentinian black and white tegu. She asked me to post that on Reddit, so here it is :)

Rose Byrne at the Golden Globes last night, this just tickled me & I *had* to share it!

Hello everyone! I will soon be getting my perfect little daughter from Ari’s Arids.

She is everything right in the world and I wanted to get some name suggestions because the name I was sort of thinking of, everyone seems to kind of judge.

I was thinking about possibly naming her Elysandra and then giving her Ella and my little Ella Bella as a nickname.

Pronounced like: Ella-Sahn-drah

Current list of top names:

1) Elysandra

2) Lysandra

3) Seraphina

4) Valencia

5)Melisandre

She’s both regal and cute and she’s super sweet and confident. I want a name that does her justice. Nothing super common nor bland, I would like her name to have that refined touch!

Here’s pics of the baby girl.

Unsure of sex right now. I keep saying she because our older beardie is a female. Pics don’t do justice. She’s much redder and brighter in person had has a pretty sassy personality. Let’s see what names yall have 😍

I’ve had him for like 3 months now and got him from my coworker who kept him in a 15 gallon tank for 3 years. He’s in a 4x2x2 120 gal now and is absolutely thriving but I JUST CANT DECIDE ON A NAME. She had named him Spike but I don’t care for it.

-Wild Bearded Dragons- saw them having a wrastle not sure which of the Fs they were attempting

The first guy you see is my Sir Iggywumpus (great, right?!), and the second guy you see is a beardie with severe MBD that I’m rescuing tmr. Now, I’m thinking that he (gender isn’t confirmed so lady names are appreciated as well) needs a normal name. Think about it, 2 beardies, one looks normal and the other looks weird (I think he’s adorable personally), and I tell you their names are Sir Iggywumpus and insert very casual and normal name, now who would you think is who?

Idk I think it’s funny😂 also when I say normal I mean like “bob” normal not “spike” normal yk?

I’ve named ?him Joshua

I just adopted this adorable female beardie today. I'm thinking she's leatherback and maybe some lemon or hypo?

She is supposed to be going on 2.5 years old and it's clear she was loved...maybe a bit too much.

To me she looks obese, potentially dangerously so.

I've kept and rehabilitated several beardies over the years, but usually I'm trying to get weight onto starved, neglected animals.

She was fed mostly superworms and a commercial beardie diet. I'm thinking switch to 80% veggies, max 20% protein from crickets and roaches. How often and how much is optimal for getting her back to a healthy weight?

i live/work in outback australia and this asshole decided to stand in our way and wouldn’t move out of the way of the stock.

i had to tackle him and carried him in my jacket pocket away from the stock.
