I was going to get our snake and our dragon Hakuna some food and i told hakuna bye grabbed something went to walk out and hakunas eye was like buldging pretty far out of his head. Then popped back in? Hes a baby so know hes growing alot is it just to help with some pressure or such? I hope so.

Hello,

This is perfectly normal for beardies. My Thor does it all the time. They seem to do it more when they're sleepy or bored but it's perfectly normal. If you want you could read this excellent article on eye bulging: https://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/eyebulging/

I Hope the article was helpful. :)

Thank you so much when i came home he has skin coming off of his head. Im a little worried because there was kindve "clicking" sound when he was beathing but then he opened his mouth breathing through there and havent heard it much since and never have heard it before. i had fugured his nose is plugged with skin. Is thus accurate?

You're welcome. :)

I'd assume that the clicking and mouth breathing is probably from his nostrils being plugged up.
But if you witness any more clicking or mouth breathing (or sneezing, coughing, or blowing bubbles out of nose) then it may be a URI and you will need to take him to an experienced reptile vet ASAP to get him checked out.

How's he doing today?

Yeah, it was very scary because I thought he had died until I saw him breathing and he opened his eyes. He seems to be fine now.

Happy Easter!

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
