I had my juvinile male beardie outside in the grass and he ate a bee, he ate it so fast, I tried to stop him but couldn't. He seems okay but he keeps "licking his lips" and he seems kind of bothered. What can I do? And will he be okay?

Okay, i'll watch for any of those, Thanks for your help. It seems kind of like he's breathing heavy, is that something I should be worried about? I'm not sure if he might just be breathing heavy from running around. other than that he seems alright.

Under the circumstances I would be concerned about the heavy breathing. Is there a reptile vet near you? Maybe you should call and consult them if so.

True. And to answer Sara's question, yes there is a vet near here, He dosen't specialize in reptiles but He does treat them. He (my little guy) seems fine, he's running around and climbing like he normally does, I'm not completely sure if what he ate was even a bee, it just really looked like one, but it could have been a Hover Fly which are not poisonous and do not sting. So it could be a false alarm, Which I really hope it is. I really hope my little guy is okay! Thanks for your help!

You should be out of the woods in 24 hours, so just keep watching.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
