| 2009-11-12 | Amber | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you! She is under a linear fl. light, and when it gets cooler we add a heat lamp for reptiles (only @ night). I will have to search for a reptile vet. Again, thank you for your quick response. |

| 2009-11-03 | Emily | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Lol. Funny. I'll keep that in mind. But until he starts chirping randomly, there's nothing to do but listen to him whimper when moved. Lol. I think he's just learned that he gets to stay if he whimpers.XD If I try and put him away, he crawls right back up my arm. ^-^ >< No girlfriend for him though. I already gotta watch out for the other two. Lol. I don't think baby cresties are in the run. Haha. |
| 2009-10-24 | Matthew | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Pam, I have already taken him to the vet. Everything looks good. Thanks for your help. Matt. |

| 2009-10-11 | Emma | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-10-07 | Pam Deutsch | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you Pam. Sometimes I feel better talking to a pet owner than asking a 16 year old part-time employee that just works in a pet store for a paycheck but doesn't really know how to answer a question. Thanks again. Pam |

| 2009-10-05 | lisa | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | very informative. Told some things that i had thought was going on(in other words, she confirmed what i was thinking was going on). I forgot to tell her the age of my dragon(just turned 1 yr. old) but she filled in the blanks for any age. I've read tons of information about dragons and she still managed to tell me one thing that I didn't know which was about his tongue(not mentioned in anything that I've read and his tongue has always been pink). Thanks for the help. |

Expertise
I can answer 98% of all questions regarding the husbandry of most desert to temperate climate omnivore and herbivore lizards. This would include bearded dragons, and skinks. I can also answer questions regarding iguanas. I can not help with snakes,amphibians,crustations or arachnids. For tortoises I will only refer you to the World Chelonian Trust. I am not a vet, but I've had enough medical (human) training to know that when a reptile is showing symptoms he needs definitive care. That means a vet, period. I can help with a few conditions, such as prolapse, so that the animal has the best chance at the vet to treat and recover. The answer to having two species sharing the same habitat will always be no. Just because you don't like my answer does not mean I'm wrong. As for breeding animals, especially bearded dragons who already have a weak gene pool as it is, you will get all the reasons why you shouldn't. There are enough inexperienced breeders out there, filling pet stores with undersized sickly babies, I will not add to their number. If you need a lizard identified, please give me an idea of where you live and a description of the animal.
Experience
I own and breed bearded dragons (pogona vitticeps). I've been a member of several e-mail lizard care groups, I am both a forum chat moderator for Reptilerooms.com, and forum moderator for Pogona and Babyiguana Yahoo Groups. I have soaked in the knowledge of some of the best researchers, rehabbers, and herp veterinarians from those groups
