Stupid Charlie pt 2

Well, I was a bit concerned about Charlie as his beard has been black all day, and I have no idea why.

I went to check on him just now and it appears he's feeling slightly better, as I caught him with his lady cactus again!



and then... !



Good lord...

hahaha XD lol. you must have caught him off guard. he looks like he's having a bit of trouble getting on top of it.

lol, no doubt over the coming few weeks we'll have a part 3..

if you put another cactus in mabye they will have a *edit*!

looks like hes going for double penetration

when beardies turn there beards black there either pissed off or horny so i wouldnt worry about it i see it aaaaaaaaall day

I once had a naturally dark female who always had a black beard. She looked like she had permanent PMT!

that is very strange, especially when females presenting the black beard is not seen as much as the males doing it, its possible you had a coastal bearded dragon instead of the normal inland bearded dragon as they are darker, but iv never seen one for sale, probably because most people dont know there are different morphs naturally depending on the area lmao

You have a very . . . special dragon, Moo Smoo.

lol special... He goes through phases were his beard is literally jet black, not puffed but just pure black.. Grumpy!

hey moosmoo for your dragon dont use sand, your better off using a solid substrate, theres no risk of impaction then, thought id message on here cuz the one on RFUK is getting too big now lol heres an example of what can happen this is a leopard gecko, the bottom one was kept on sand http://www.petzoo.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=467

oh and if anybody has a squeemish nature dont look

Yeah RFUK got a bit mad

yeah just a lil too far, but seriously the best 100% safe substrates are tile, repti carpet and non adhesive shelf liner.

thats really horrible. thats why i dont use aspen chipings or stuff like that for snakes.

i dont mind loose substrates for snakes as much because they tend to be much neater eaters, but for young or messy snakes then solid substrates are much better

yeah. if it misses the food and gets a mouthfull of substrate it could be lethal.

Aren't you supposed to take snakes out of their tank for feeding anyway?

yeah. but i didnt do it.

you are supposed to, but not for the snakes health the reason most keepers take there snakes out is more because if you dont the snake associated your hand coming in the viv with foos and therefore mght have a taste, however my old corn wont take food unless its in his viv, he never would, and weve never got him to he just leaves it. So it depends on the snake, id rather feed in the viv and end up bitten, than try feed out of the viv and never get food in my snake, however it is just the one corn that wont take out of the viv everything else has always been fine lol

my snakes always pause when i put my hand in... have a taste of my hand then instantly clam down... but they seem to have managed to suss out what day is feeding day anyway. Every thursday they all have their noses pressed firmly to the glass hehe!

With my snakes I use depending on size is containers like meal worm containers up to 2 gal. ice cream containers. I cut a hole out of the lid, and when its feeding time a put the container w/ the mouse in the enclosure, all the snakes will go into them and eat the food without any worries of eating any substrate. So now i can put my hands in the tanks and they dont react but as soon as they see the containers watch out!!
