    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 got a beardie at a reptile show, and a couple of weeks later I noticed some mobility problems with her hind legs. I am fearing the worst...is there any cure for this? I have an incredible herp vet...
 
Hind leg paralysis is most often caused when the beardie gets a food item that is too large. When feeding the dragon, a good measure of food size is to not feed the dragon anything bigger than the distance between its eyes. It is hard to bring them back from this, but here is a trick that has worked for us in the past:

Put the bearded dragon in a container with warm shallow water, making sure to not let it drown. As it moves around, slowly increase the water level until the bearded dragon is swimming. Often the movement of swimming clears the obstruction.

If that doesn't clear it up, I'd say a visit to a good reptile vet is the best way to go. I hope that helps.
