A few days ago, my husband told me to come outside & check out this lizard. As soon as I saw her, I knew it was a bearded dragon. She was in our kiddie pool - no water in it- on our porch. She looked a little beat up & dark. We fed her some crickets, which she gobbled up right away. I noticed her neck had the stress black marks, but she is super friendly & easy to hold.
After posting some photos on our neighborhood fb website, I found my neighbor "released" their BD, bc school is starting & they don't have time for it. I don't know how old she is, but she is only about 2 inches long nose to tail. Apparently, they kept her in the garage & fed her whatever bugs the kids would find. There were 3 "good" poops in the pool, but she has only gone 1x since being in her new environment.
I plan to take her to the vet, but money's funny. We did get a nice set up for her w/ lights & food bowls & a rock, thermometer, etc. But she was outside for almost a week in VA humid & wet & luckily hot weather. Her nostrils have a white salt-like rings -we have dropped water on her nose, misted & povided a water bowl.
Should I give her a warm bath? Will the presence of cats stress her out?
We are so happy to add Pickle to our family.
