My friend owns a young beardie probably close to a year old.
He this beardie from a guy on craiglist.
He was feeding him super worms and suddenly he did a head tilt and kept rolling over into his back.
His enclosure is right. heat and reptisun tube bulb.( convinced him to get a bulb)
Could any one know what it could be. Can’t do anything about a vet until Monday. Thanks

Hello,

That is very critical, pictures if possible would be good.
Your friend is going to get him to a vet next week then?
Please review your tank setup for us, such as the type/brand of UVB lighting, supplementation
& temperatures. The tube bulb is the Reptisun 10, which is good. Do you know how close it is
to him & is it mounted on top of or below the screen?
He needs to have a digital probe or a temp gun to measure the temperatures properly. Do you
know what sized tank he is in?

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
