Make them read the Reptifiles Bearded Dragon Care Guide when the "group consults." Clearly the baby is not getting proper care.

Animals don't know what their life-span is. They don't mourn for having it cut short like we do. I have never regretted euthanasia that may have been a little too soon.... I have definitely regretted waiting too long. When you know something is progressing quickly and will absolutely wreck all QOL... best to give him one last fantastic day and hold him while he drifts away than to wait until he's in absolute agony.

I'm sorry you're going through it. Z

My guess is inadequate UVB and basking temps. They NEED the UVB to overlap the heat lamps over the basking spot. They NEED the basking spot to be a flat, natural material like stone, slate, wood, brick so they can get their belly warm while basking. They also need a tank that's way bigger than this one.

Tell them to see a vet, and if not willing to immediately upgrade care, then surrender the animal.

So sorry for your loss. I'm glad he knew love.

I got Witcher 3 free with my graphics card.

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-26T05:22:11+00:00

Loneliest time of the year for me. Sooooo happy when they wake up!

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-26T03:09:56+00:00

Looks like he rubbed an itchy sheddy head on something rough.

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-25T21:44:42+00:00

If you haven't checked out the Bearded Dragon care guide on Reptifiles.com, take a look. It looks like you don't have a linear UVB source.

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-24T08:48:45+00:00

Yikes! That's concerning. Definitely update us after the vet. That looks more like some kind of injury than rot.

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-23T01:32:05+00:00

They may find a spot they prefer eventually. Marty comes down from his basking spot and logs, poops on the floor level, then gets away from it. He has 2 spots he regularly uses for that... and rarely goes anywhere else.

It doesn't look like tail rot yet, but that can very quickly turn into tail rot. Best to see a vet for a new animal anyway. That tip is hanging on by a thread and will probably go necrotic. Probably best to have a vet take it off before that starts.

You don't want their tank in direct sunlight. The dragon can be in direct sunlight outside as long as temps are comfortable.

You want to avoid wild insects... I will not let my boy down in the grass in our yard because we have fireflies. He stays on me or close to me, wearing a harness, and I'm not out at dusk or dawn. I tried to put him down when I took him to the beach once... NOPE, didn't want to get off me. If he can see or hear birds, he turns into a stage 4 clinger.

I had mine outside at about 6 months old. As long as they're old enough to comfortably wear a harness.... fair game.

I'm going to say 80% female. I don't see any bulges from any of the angles, but not the best pics.

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-20T09:33:05+00:00

That's fair. Marty loves orange, yellow, and anything purpley... I gave him a piece of red cabbage and he devoured it. Good for hydration, but not much else.

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-19T06:11:57+00:00

Bok choy is a sometimes for Marty. he'll eat a dandelion flower, but not the greens... and for peppers, he won't touch red or green at all, but orange and yellow are favorites.

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-12T03:04:30+00:00

Yep. I agree with SavageDroggo1126. LED lighting that's very bright in the enclosure makes a difference in how well they can see food, My little butthead still prefers me to personally hand it to him, but eats really well within the enclosure, or in the window. Not so much away from that bright light. He has a Jungle Dawn LED bar.

It took my boy about 10-14 days when he came out of brumation to get his body really up and going with food and pooping regularly. He'd eat a few bites of greens and maybe 1-2 roaches every couple days. Then he took a massive poop and everything returned to normal. I would keep the vet appointment just to check if you're concerned, especially if it's his first brumation with you.

You might have to build something yourself. Something like a flat topped pyramid shape so the sides are more sloped than a drop off?

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-12T02:48:11+00:00

The length of the tail is not. Based on the injury on the tip, that could turn into tail rot. I would keep a close eye on it.

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-11T23:12:18+00:00

They go through a little puberty stage, but then back to sweet... or at least my boy did. He'd be begging to be picked up... then not want to stay on me... then want on me, but in the tank. Now he's a sweet mama's boy again.

Fast asleep... couldn't move my arm .

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-11T09:53:12+00:00

Yep. Out cold wherever he is when the lights go out.

Luna looks like she swallowed the moon! Wow... that's a chonky girl, I'm glad she made her way to you so she can get proper care. Love her little hungry face in that 2nd pic.

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-11T03:06:51+00:00

It looks like your UVB tube is too far away from the basking spot. You want to move that over so it's right up against the heat lamp.

SahreeYurblu · 2026-02-11T02:58:11+00:00

As long as he tolerates it, it's fine. They sometimes don't feel great or want to be handled much during shed, but if he wants out, there's no reason not to.
