    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

do you know why?

hey i wanted to know why is it that when i feed my bearded dragon big crickets or meal worms he begins to shake his muscles a lot. its like he begins to twitch his arms and legs very rapidly and uncontrolably. hes big enough to feed on these ietms and i know that for a fact but why does he do this? i waste more money feeding small crickets than big ones. last night i fed him wax and meal worms and he began to shake like he does when he eats large crickets. heres a pic of him with and a full grown bearded from Amari Reptiles. please if anyone knows why this occurs please let me know and what i can do to prevent it.

Ok, #1-Mealies are not good to feed, they are high in chitin which means their shells are very hard to digest(no matter the size of the dragon) and can cause impaction, also waxies are very high in fat and not healthy at all, they can be given has occasional treats but nothing more!
#2- What calciums/vitamins do you give him? It could be calcium deficiency, where he did not get enough calcium. It could also be from the mealworms because they are very dangerous.
I would call your reptile vet and get her opinion and you should probably take him in.

Good luck,
Steven
