URGENT bearded dragon head tilt and rolling over.

fl00dedlungs · Jan 4, 2020

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?
