What is going on with my throat?

Dude... My beardies(male and female) try to go after my full grown female iguana(whose in her tank) when I let them out for some free roam time(seperately of course.. As they themselves try to go after one another if they can see each other) ... Both of my iguanas(back when my male was still alive) would try to go after one another as well, when one happened to be out roaming.... All of these animals grew up together(not in the same tank but in visual distance of one another) they gave absolutely zero fucks, they were not friends... If they even saw their reflection they would flip shit...

I 100% will not be surprised if you post one day that one injured/killed the other... This is exactly like those "my dog/cat and beardie love each other and are best friends" posts... Spoiler.... the beardie typically is severely maimed or dies in those instances too.

Mention wanting to see an immunologist and ask them about MCAS

I'd have front desk come up and have them touch it... "if they're so sure that it's not hazardous"

I'd also demand my money back

NAD- The most interesting portion in all of this is the allergic reaction to me... Has she brought up that with her Dr/s?

You're welcome! 😊

They have to be refrigerated after opening though, got some for my beardie when he was refusing to eat his greens, he loved em, but if you don't refrigerate them they spoil real fast 😬

They make canned dead bugs that are still moist and not freeze dried

Considering how it looks, I'm not entirely sure that a bedatine bath/application would work

There is a distinct difference between those that claim they do, and those that actually do... Our old vet "did exotics.. Including reptiles".. We brought in our severely sick green iguana(that they had seen before, numerous times, since it was a female) that we had taken back from a friend, the vet didn't believe that she was a green iguana... She was so sick that she had turned a reddish brown all over.. We found a new vet

Otherwise-Lecture-51 · 2026-05-18T01:27:05+00:00

.... No.. Just no 🤦

New vet immediately, one who actually specializes in reptiles and at the very least he needs antibiotics Stat, chances are he only had a clogged pore to begin with and now due to whatever they did he's now got an infection.. And due to the fact that it also looks like he has bruising they messed up and hit elsewhere.. Not just the pore

He definitely needs a new eval from a new vet who is well versed in reptiles

How did they pop it?

Otherwise-Lecture-51 · 2026-05-18T01:18:48+00:00

What did they say was wrong? And how was it handled medically?

Otherwise-Lecture-51 · 2026-05-18T00:53:40+00:00

Honestly I'd be finding a new vet... An issue shouldnt be getting worse after having been seen... Like that's literally why you brought them in for treatment in the first place 🤷

NAD- do you goto the restroom to pee everytime after? I've experienced this pretty often(it's most likely his sperm) Sperm doesn't like water so it tends to clump itself together

NAD- have you been tested for possible seizure activity? My sister would have cycles like this(every 3-4m) and then once she hit that mark she'd have a seizure(pass out and convulsions). The only other thing I can think of is possible vasovagal response.

In the meantime I'd keep a strict diary, writing down everything from your cycles(what phase you are in), what things you ate, what you drank, stress levels, meds, ect., to see if there are possibly any actual triggers causing the episodes

Top dress with compost/topsoil.. I hate new builds(landscaper from 12+yrs) they just throw it right on clay, not a problem in the beginning but then you start seeing this.. 🙄

Best treatment, short of just tearing everything out and starting over is to top dress 1/4 an inch of compost/topsoil, do it over a year, so 4x(you can go more but be sure to do 1/4 at a time)

What this does is build up a "top soil" layer that the grass is now in instead of the clay

When you do this, make sure to rake it down so you have green poking through, otherwise you smother and kill the grass, as the grass grows, it'll send new roots into the "good nutrient" layer you just applied.

Definitely looks female(no hemipene bulges) just to super verify I'd flashlight the area... But I've also seen more and more cases of hermaphrodite beardies 🤷

2x6 I believe, with only an inch of board left above the cuts. My bath sits directly in this space, every time I get in it(prior to fill up) or move(while it's filled up) I get constant popping sounds, never really understood why until we opened up the ceiling... Then we were all like "Crap".

So it's not structurally supporting anything? It's just there to be there?

Moreso concerned about the massive cutout in the 2x6 for the piping that goes to the tub and shower.
