    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I had a customer bring this bearded dragon in to me yesterday and I've never seen anything like it before. I've seen animals with swollen eyes but nothing to this extent. Any ideas? My vet will be in some time this week and I will get her to take a look at it but until then I figured I'd ask here. The guy who brought it in got it from someone else and his parents said he couldn't keep it. It's appetite seems fine and aside from it being a bit on the thin side (not terrible,it could just use a few more ounces) which doesn't surprise me given the circumstances (possible borderline neglect) About all I know for sure about how it was cared for is that it was on calcium sand as that is what was in the cage when he brought it in. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Improper supplementation?

The eye itself doesn't look infected, just swollen. If the guy had him on calci-sand, and he didn't have a uvb light to help him absorb the calcium properly, I could see that happening. But you couldn't be sure without bloodtests or xrays. One way to find out would be to set him up properly, with proper lighting and care, and see if it corrects itself.
