More pics of bearded dragon

Heres some more pics of my possibly overweight bearded dragon lol.

I think you can take the possibly out of that sentence now Little porker could do with a bit of a diet and some more excersice. She does look like a real sweetie though

In that first one she definitely looks chubby lol. Actually...she kinda reminds me of my marching band director...SHH!! lol

Lol she is chubby i just wanted to know if i needed to put her on a diet or sumfing but she is very healthy and active so i suppose its fine its just how she is lol.

Jabba, is that you?? But seriously, she's cute!!

woo! may the force be with you.

I'm not familiar with beardies but are we sure shes not gravid? If not I'd recommend.... Taking her for a walk? Diet? Lol definatly a wide load from the beardies Ive seen looks beautiful though.

Wooaahh!! If she isn't gravid she needs to be on a diet big time! She's a beautiful beardie but over weight can cause your beardie to take years off her life... Which no one wants. So no more treats like any worms. More veggies!!!

There is definetly no eggs and lexi will not eat any veggies so i feed them to the crickets and locust and cochroaches and also give them tropical fish food too shes just not interested in anything thats not alive lol so i suppose i cut back on her food abit? Shes not gonna be happy haha.

She definitely not skipping meals lol
Overweight is not a good thing believe me.

Pretty dragon btw

nice enclosure too, clean ..

There seems to be two common pets that can be extremely fat. Cats and bearded dragons. Restrict her diet nd maybe try brumating her for about 3 months so.she can Burm and sleep off some of that fat! She is pretty BTW

My bearded dragon was not very healthy when i got her and she would never eat her veg but i still fill her bowl with leaf everyday just incase she decides to try some lol so i make sure her food is gutloaded with cale and rocket and things like carrot and butternut squash and fruit such as blueberry and strawberrys and i also recomend feeding dubia roaches they are very good for bearded dragons and high in calcium and i dust most of her food with calci dust and use nutribol a few times a week and i also give her a pinkie every couple of months as i have a snake and i keep these anyway but dont feed them often there mostly water they work well for an ill bearded dragon or if your beardie is dehydrated but a healthy dragon does not need them its more of a treat to have occasionly but apart from that i just make sure she has the corect lighting and temperatures and always make sure one end of the tank is cooler than the other so if your beardie is to hot she can go to the cool end. a basking spot of around 105–110 will be fine and thats pretty much what i do and also i give her a bath every 2–3 days so she gets all the water she needs and sometimes she dosent sleep in her viv i just let her sleep in my room theres nowhere she can get to so its fine and i think thats it.

I dont think you could actually take them for a walk but if the weathers nice you can take them out if you want just let them sit on you somewhere while you walk around lol i take mine in the car she dosent mind i also take her to friends houses with me sumtimes i always take a hot water bottle(not to hot!) with me incase she gets cold lol people think im a freak haha.

thanks stacey .. im super excited on my new bd, i have read that they need very little water, i plan to have a waqter dish inside though just in case. and how about the stories of subtrate? it was recommneded not to have any subtrates, yet i would particularly think sand would be nice, more of their habitat. and, i guess sand doesnt choke them to death .. what do you think? hes a young fella, trans hype red btw, at most a1 onth old ... and yes .. i am going to feed him with dubia just like my cham ! .a bit exp though ... i plan to use solar glow from exo terra, im not sure if that has enough heat .. any opinions?

I have one too!! It's a wee baby lol 5 weeks old...

Use repti carpet... And yes.. You actually have to have a water bowl for BD's.. And I've been informed that once they're 5-6 inches from nose to vent it is safe to use play sand.. But never calci-sand.... Beardies need a little warmer... How big is the tank? Mine is in a 20 gallon wide tank with a 100w basking bulb.. And by the way, just so you know.. Don't use heat rocks lolll
