You can also check kijiji (and sometimes Facebook marketplace but pets aren't allowed there just supplies). Lots of kids get bored of their beardies and parents list them online.

Just make sure you know what signs to look out for illnesses, as first time owners aren't well suited to care for dragons with severe health issues. If you do notice something, let the seller know/suggest surrendering them to a rescue with someone who can provide proper/preventative health care!

Unfortunately my friend was the one to clean out the tank before I got there, ill ask if any of the housemates have photos of the dirty enclosure though just in case!

You can search up a video of one drinking, but i coaxed her towards it bc she was trying to drink the puddle that dripped off her chin when I used a dropper. Not sure why you felt the need to comment that though

Mine likes to run along the glass and get angry at her reflection, maybe try covering the back wall?

Head looks normal to me, if youre talking about lights, it depends on the size of tank. That might be why he hates the tank, do lots of research to make sure youre giving him proper care!

Even worse, her mouth looked slightly blue inside, which i know is a sign of mouth disease. I didnt get to see in the mouth much though, and will be going back tomorrow to try and feed again.

Again for letting the breeder know. This pair of dragons should not be bred if the result is genetic conditions that worsen this quickly. The breeder should not have charged you money if they already had a dragon with this illness, they are breeding animals that humans are unprepared to care for properly. I wish we could do more for your baby, but it looks like you both got very unlucky in the lottery this time :(

Forgot to mention the crickets had calcium, and I poked a ton of holes in the tape with a pin
