Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonGooey disharge on my bearded dragonI've been noticing this gooey stuff on my bearded dragon. It started out on his left eye and now it is at the tip of his mouth. Please help I am new to this stuff. And am I able to change my username?(sorry for this off topic sentence)
Re: Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonHello,
Can you post any pictures of your dragon's eye for us so we can see a little better, what you are talking about & the severity? What type/brand of UVB lighting are you using & do you have sand or another loose type of substrate in the tank? You can get some sterile saline solution to use, daily right now, to help flush out the eye to see if that helps out. Let us know how he is doing. I hope he doesn't have a really bad eye infection. As far as changing your user name, you can contact the Admin to have him help with changing your user name. Tracie
Re: Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonI agree that photos would help, along with more info about your setup. You can upload photos here https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/ and post them to your thread using the XIMG button when you reply.

Re: Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonHello,
Yes, we definitely need some pictures of the eye area. The tube bulb you are using, what brand is that? What type of basking light are you using? I do recommend that you get some sterile saline solution to wash his eyes out with to help, daily. Is he eating anything right now? Let us know how he is doing. Tracie

Re: Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonHi there, poor little guy does look sick. Looks like his body + throat are slightly puffed up which could indicate an R.I [ respiratory infection ] Does he breath O.K or make any noise ? What have the temps been in the tank before you got the new heat bulb and now ? How many watts is the heat bulb , the one you had before and the one you have now ?
Re: Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonHe breathes ok, He doesnt make any noises either. The basking spot is usaully 100° to 110° F The heat lamp I think is 150 watts I just got the same type of heat lamp cuz the old bulb died out.

Re: Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonO.K that's good, just watch that he's not breathing heavy or making popping noises. How long has this been happening + how long have you been using the honey ?
Re: Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonHi there,
Aww poor fella' I agree he does look pretty sickly. The bloating is what is concerning to me. In the last picture you showed you can really see the bloating. Does he typically look that way? That is quite a huge range for your basking surface temp. What are you using to measure them? That dial that is seen in your picture? Thats good he hasn't been making any noises while breathing. Does he seem to breath kinda hard though, like labored? I'm wondering if he might have ate something that he wasn't supposed to. Is it possible he got out and ate something? Has he been outside at all? -Brandon Follow along with all my beardies. Check out my thread here!: Claud's Crew
P.S. We have lots of pictures ![]()
Re: Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonI've been using the honey for 2 weeks. I started noticing the discharge 2 months ago. I thought it was shed but it wasnt till It started to go on the tip of his mouth.
Re: Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonTo Brandon, He doesnt always look bloated he only does it sometimes in the mornings along with my 3 other dragons. The dial is what I use to measure the basking temperature the cooler side is usaully 80° to 85°F. The basking spot is usually over 100° F it just depends if its very cold in my house. He doesnt seem to have a hard time breathing, He is always curious and watches me everytime I'm in my room. No he never got out of his cage. He's only been outside like once or twice because I dont like taking my pets outside anymore because my Guinea Pigs died from mites on the grass that came from a park.

Re: Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonAnd he's still eating well ? Might he have aspirated water during a soak ? Can you find a good reptile vet ? Something going on that needs to be seen to, maybe a good vet can figure it out..
Re: Gooey disharge on my bearded dragonTo ABHD, Yes he is eating well. No he hasnt aspirated water during a bath. My parents dont like taking our pets to vets cuz they say its to exspensive
