· I just bought a two week old bearded dragon and he hasnt eaten anything, what do i do? please someone help.
A baby this young should never have been sold. They stress very easily and are very fragile. Is is not unusual for them to go a few days without eating when they change enviroments due to stress, but in your case that is even more serious as he is not old enough to have build up any reserve. To get him through this stage your set up, temps, supplements have tobe perfect and limit handling and contact with him. Check out the "Caring for babies" section on the caresheet. If he does not start eating and everything is perfect, you may need a vet to help you get him past this stage Top

· I was just wondering what type of lizard makes the best pet. Which kind is most social? I've liked lizards all my life, but I was just wondering. Thanks.
It depends on the space, time and money you have to spend on them.
A leopard gecko takes up little space, sleeps most the day and has modest costs for eating and furnishings/lights
On the other hand a bearded dragons needs much more space, a lot of cfood while growing up (up to 100 crickets a day plus greens/veggies/pellets) and much have special UVB light to avoid bone disease and otehr problems from lack of calcium.
An iguana eats salads, so is not that expensive as a baby and can be a a modest size tank, but needs a huge enclosure and can eat up to $100 in greens and veggies a month. Top

· what are some reasons why my dearded dragon would just stop eating?hes about 8 months old and he was dong fine and shedding regulary and then he just stopped eating. its been about two weeks since he last ate. he is drinking though.
IF he is not losing any weight, this is not a big concern, many do slow down or stop eating in the cooler months. Read up on brumation. But if he is losing wieght, you need to take him to the vet and have him and a fecal check Top

· I just got my first BD, i am afraid of it getting impacted, how can i prevent it and how often should he be going to the bathroom.... thank you
Babies usually go daily, adults can be a few to several days, depending on their eating habits. If you use appropiate size foods, proper temps and substrates that can not be ingested, impaction should not be a concern. Please check out the care info section for meeting your dragons needs. Top

When they are stressed, they will turn brown. They usually still are green when they are sleeping. Avoid to much contact with them and make sure the temperatures are right Top

· I have a 6 or 7 month old male bearded dragon. I noticed today that he has developed a dark spot on each side of his back above his front legs, under his chin (neck) and at the end of his tail. I am concerned about his health but also the other 3 I have
This is a concern, if it does not go away when he sheds, read the section on fungus and take him to your vet. Avoid him having contact with other reptiles and wash well between handling him and the others. If it is fungul, caught early enough there is a good success rate in clearing it. Top

· Can I house other lizards with my leopard gecko???
It is recommended that you never mix species. Each species has its own special needs with temps, humidy, feeding, substrates and other needs. They also have bacteria and parasites that are unique and beneficial to them to them, which could be deadly to another species, plus some look at others as dinner Top

He is shedding and this is how they stretch the skin to make it shed. it is normal, but can look pretty strange to a new owner. Top

· Can you place x number of leopard gecko's in with x number of central netted dragon's, in a six foot tank, with no divider?
Mixing species in a enclosed area is not a good idea, they often have different needs and what bacteria is natural to one may be deadly to another Top

· Hi can anyone help, I have two collard lizards a male and female. The male is growing twice as fast as the female and has become aggressive. The females hip joints appear to be protruding through her skin, can anyone advise me what to do.
It really sounds like she either has parasites problems and only a vet and fecal test can tell that, or she is being stressed out by the male. You might want to separate her for awhile and see if her eating and activity increases. So never do well when paired all the time, if not, she needs to see a vet Top
