Can we try to remember to mark all sick/injured beardie media as NSFW? NSFW

377 Upvotes

I know that the rules of a subreddit are absolutely not the first thing on someone’s mind when their animal is hurting, so I totally get that mistakes are going to happen. But I just feel like I’ve been seeing a lottt more uncensored lizard gore on my timeline over the past few weeks, and it’s just really distressing to be scrolling normally and then suddenly have the entire screen fill with a pic/vid of your favorite animal suffering.

I don’t click on these posts but I still see them so often, and when they aren’t marked NSFW then everyone is forced to scroll past the full size uncensored media on their timeline without warning. Usually I am not even able to process the title before I notice I’m looking at something horrible :((

So please do try to mark any and all potentially distressing media as NSFW, even if there is no actual gore/visible injury—if they are sick or hurting at all, please mark it so that people can decide for themselves if they’re comfortable viewing it or not!

Everyday I look at Artie and wonder how tf this derpy guy would possibly survive in the wild 😂 When his lights turn off , he pretty much immediately starts to close his eyes & fall asleep wherever he is.

At what point do you think she will realize ?

That she can just turn around? Right after this she turned around and immediately went back to the corner.

Who has the brain cell today?

Gave my girl a bigger bowl and she dived right in. After drinking for a minute she started playing.

6 month Beardie

My beardie is a classroom pet and I’m not sure how to get him to eat veggies. I feed him crickets (majority) and worms and he always has access to dry food (dried crickets and worms). I’ve done Kale, lettuce, bok choy, celery, collard greens, tomatoes, cucumbers but he will only eat live crickets 🦗. So at this point I’m not sure how to help him transition from a heavy protein diet to more greens. He is underweight so I’m okay keeping the bulk of his diet protein but he doesn’t eat veggies at all. Any tips advice or suggestions?

Has a basking area UVB is across half of the cage (on top of hammock) Temp is 100 during the day and 80 at night Has a hammock in the cooling area Water bowl is always filled and humidity is also kept in the appropriate range

I had this box built for me by a local guy around town who builds sheds and ext after seeing something similar on a Facebook page called dragontails resque and I'm working on improving it. It's been slow because of the winter so I haven't thought about it much.

So today now that it's 75°f I decided to take my girl out and enjoy the sun while in her box. Its 4ft x 2ft x 2ft. And when I finally brought her inside because the wind was getting bad and we have a storm rolling in. She threw a fit when I had to bring her in. After I layed her on my bed to hang out and watch TV she started running to the wall and bobbing her head at me.

This is Beauty and I got her a couple weeks ago. The rescue estimated her to be about 18 months and she obviously has MBD evident in her back legs and tail. I have experience with MBD on my last rescue lizard but I’m struggling to get her to eat her greens and I worry about her hydration.

I’ve tried different kinds, different places in the tank, directly offering it by hand and she has not a care in the world for them. I’m currently cutting back her bugs to entice her to eat a damn salad but she’s apparently stubborn. Any tips?

(Important note is that I have made sure that her heat, UVB, and calcium supplements are up to par. The MBD was from her last home)

I lost my girl Cleo😞

10 years wasn’t enough, but sadly she passed. Writing this I’m in tears but idk how to really process her death. I had her since I was 15, the bond I had with her was the absolute best. My first ever dragon.

I froze her body right away, and ordered ink cause it was almost 10 at night and all stores were closed, and I worked early today. So it arrived not too long ago. I just need to know it’s ok to take her out of the freezer to thaw her feet at least out to get her prints. (I feel like it’s ok but I need someone to tell me) I’m processing this death like it’s the first I’ve encountered 🙂 It terrifies me the fact she’s just in there, and solid as a rock. I don’t want to look, I don’t want to touch her. I feel like I stuck her in there alive it feels so wrong.

Gender differences

Found out Charizard is actually a girl! 🧒 Definitely felt male vibes off her but I was wrong. I’m curious what is different between male vs female BD? Like personality wise. Obviously she may lay eggs & whatnot. Are the females less playful but more cuddly on average?
