Beardie: Bearded Dragon Care

Bearded dragon care is full of contradictory advice. One source swears by sand, the next calls it dangerous. One says your lighting is fine, another says it is useless. Beardie is the answer to that: a complete care guide written in plain language, plus a place to keep your dragon's record. It is free. THE CARE GUIDE Thirteen chapters covering the enclosure, lighting and heat, feeding, supplements, health, shedding, brumation, hydration, impaction, disease and behaviour. The numbers most care sheets skip are in here: UVB index targets at the basking site, basking surface temperatures, calcium to phosphorus ratios, humidity ranges, feeder nutrition. Search the whole guide in seconds. Start from a symptom if something looks wrong, and jump straight to the section that covers it. Twenty one warning signs are flagged for when a dragon needs an exotic vet the same day. The guide works offline once it has loaded, and it updates itself as we add to it. MY BEARDIE, YOUR DRAGON'S RECORD Keep a profile for every dragon you own, with a photo, morph, sex and hatch date. Log weight over time and watch the chart. A monthly weigh-in is the earliest warning you get that something is wrong, and it is the first thing a vet asks for. Keep a care log of sheds, feeds, cleans, vet visits and the start and end of brumation. Dates you will never remember a year later, in one place. Set reminders that actually matter. UVB bulb replacement is the one most keepers forget, because output fades long before the light looks dim. Also enclosure deep cleans, calcium and D3 reviews, weigh-ins and annual check-ups. CAN THEY EAT IT? Type any food or insect and get a straight answer at the fridge: staple, occasional, rare or never, from a vetted list of over 150 foods. If something is not on the list, the app says so instead of guessing. ASK LIZZY Lizzy is a care assistant that answers from the guide, not from the open internet. Ask her a question in plain words and she will point you at what the guide says and where it says it. WHAT WE WILL NOT DO No per-animal cap. Track your whole beardie family free. Reminders arrive by push and by email, timezone aware, so a silenced phone does not mean a missed dose. Your records are never hostage. Export everything as CSV or PDF for a vet visit, any time. No passwords. Sign in with an emailed code, or Google, or Apple. Built for keepers, not breeding racks. No QR codes in your way. The guide updates itself without waiting for app store releases. YOUR ACCOUNT Sign in with your email and a code. No password to remember. The same account works on beardiesupply.com, so your dragons, weights and reminders are there too if you would rather type on a keyboard. Your dragon photos are stored privately and are never publicly linked. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app. A NOTE ON WHAT THIS IS NOT Beardie is a community care guide with general guidance. It is not veterinary advice and it does not replace an exotic vet. If your dragon is unwell, see one. Beardie Supply Co. beardiesupply.com
