    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....

getting a rescue, need some advice.

Hello everyone,

Soon I will be getting a bearded dragon from one of my father's friends, he has had it for over a year, the thing is probably around 15", and i'm thinking it's a male. It's in a 20 gallon long tank (way too small!), and it isn't being fed like it should. It still has a little weight on it's body, but not like it should have.

My questions:
I need to know what kind of medication I will need to give him, to get rid of any coccida or parasites. Also, I will need to know where to get it from.

Right now I have reptaid, but i've read that it shouldn't be used to try to "fully cure" any reptile, and should just be used as a follow up procedure or as a "pre-treatment".

Once I get this dragon and have it fed up, medicated, and a little more *tame*, i'll find him a new home with someone that can properly take care of him. :)

Thanks,

Dan
 
I can't edit my post? well that's too bad. My questions weren't really questions, now were they? LOL.
 
also, forgot to mention in my initial post that this dragon does NOT have UVB, and it only gets greens/veggies every great once in a while.. and no dust supplements either.

Well for the worms go to http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Meds.html and get the albon, panacur, and the Acidophiliz+ and if he has mbd you might want to get the Calcium Glubionate, there may be other things you will find helpfull there also, as you know the full extent of the dragons issues.

Thanks Corky :)

I'll be getting the dragon sometime in the next week and a half, hopefully. I've called the guy and hope he will me or my father back and let us know what's going on.

I'm definitely going to be getting some phoenix worms to get him, and i may give him a few wax worms here and there so he can put on a little weight.

I was told he is a great "hunter", and eater. So I guess we'll see very soon.
