my bearded dragon has gone black over her entire body and isn't eating, she barley moves and she's been like this for 3 days now and I'm getting worried about her, she stays under her basking heat light and has pood but she still isn't eating and I am wondering if she might have parasites but don't know how to tell if she does.

Beardies will turn completely black if they're trying to heat up quickly, or she could be very stressed out about something.

For starters:

How old is she?
What are your temps?
What are you checking the enclosure temps with?

Any update of this? How is he doing? Something is very wrong if his entire body has actually "turned black"...if he's just darkening himself while under his lights then that is completely normal, as they darken themselves to attract more heat/light while under their lights, and will then lighten/brighten up when removed from the tank and are no longer under lights. However, if your dragon actually "turned black", then this is not normal...so I'm not sure which you're talking about without a photo of him...

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
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
