    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....

Hey all, i read somewhere that if a beardies got circles on his stomach its due to stress. they called em "stress circles" is this true? mine has it and hes about 6-7 months old id say. and hes agressive he likes to bite and he runs. hopefully thatll stop soon but i was wondering about the stomach circles. thanks
 
Yes, dragons can get patterns on their stomach when they're stressed, but they can also get them when they're cold, and mine get them sometimes when they're sleeping. There are lots of reasons those patterns appear besides just stress.

Is your dragon allowing you to handle him at all, or is he just biting you when you reach in his domain?
 
Nope he dont put up with that handlin stuff and he just stares at me if im near his cage and wont eat till i go away. he reminds me of a cranky hermit, hates people and hates people near him.
 
Oh, those grumpy ones are about my favorites! Just be persistent, handling him little by little, and he should eventually get over his attitude a bit.
 
Well ive tried to chase him around and pick him up at least once a day . Seems to be the same, he just stares at me with eyes of suspicion, WILL NOT look away. If im near him he stares at me until i go away. And still lunes at me unless i have his food dish then hell just stare at my hand mouth open.
 
You still must be persistent. Instead of 'chasing' him around his enclosure, just simply place your hand in the enclosure. Rest your hand on the bottom, palm up. Try placing a super worm in the palm of your hand and offer it to him. Do this (not the super worm part) several times per day, and build his trust. Part of his problem is probably puberty, however, not being persistent and consistent will only reinforce his bad attitude.
