Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Help Please!!!!!!!!!
I recently bought a 7-8 month old beardie which seem to be in great health and eating well. I noticed the past few days she has been digging up her cage all day long. I did buy her while she was paired up with a male, which makes me wonder if she might be gravid. I have also noticed bumps on her stomach.......
I only have two incubators which have chameleon eggs in them at 76 degrees.
Should i just go about it is if she is gravid????????????????
Beardie eggs at 85 degrees??????????????????????
Please give me some help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds like she is getting close to laying her eggs. She will need a suitable laying area with moist soil/sand mix. I usually keep my eggs at 85. I have kept them at 83 but Noy sure how much success you would have at 76. The cooler you keep them the longer they take to hatch. If you can keep them warmer I would. This is all assuming the eggs come out fertile.

Btw
She looks way too small to have been bred. I would make sure she goes on a major weight gain program before breeding again. I would definitly not put her with a male until next year at the earliest.

Thanks
I agree with you on her being way to young to have breed. Do you think I should complain to the shop where i bought her? The weight gain program is a must and will start as soon as she is ready again.

I don't think complaining will do anything so I would let it go. You took a dragon out of a bad environment and hopefully will make it better. Though I normally don't like to feed dragons pinkies you might try a couple over the next week to get her fat stores back up. Make them small ones if you do it. She needs all the protien she can get so maybe try and get her to eat some juvie pellets. She needs calcium and vitamins. It's possible she will lay eggs one or two more times so keep the calcium in her. Check out www.beautifuldragons.com for nutritional info.

I think you need to get some vermiculite or perlite. I don't think the soil will keep them as well. The soil can suck the moisture right out of the eggs and is harder to keepat the right levels of moistness.
