I need any help I can get, my beardie has been lethargic and sleeping for the past 2-3 days. He is not eating anymore and sleeping just about all day. He is not opening his eyes and goes to sleep on the bottom of the cage away from the uva and uvb. Please help!

I am so sorry to hear! :( No that was not tail rot! How long was he like this and how long have you had him - I was looking at his tank set up and it looks like you had some good lighting going so my guess is he was sick when you bought him --- where did you get him from --- it is so sad to see this!

He was sleeping just about all day for maybe 2-3 days, and I did a lot of research on the cage setup with lighting and all. I have had him for about 2 months and bought him from petsmart. Very sad looks like seizures are linked to MBD in beardies he must have been sick when I bought him. :(
Just got a new beardie from petsense and he/she looks much healthier. :)

Yes they are but he was too young to have MBD I am thinking -- he had something else going on -- I hope you sanitized your tank before getting the new one since you do not know exactly what he died from and if he was sick when you got him it could be contagious

It’s no doubt ADV, which is common in chain store reptiles. Looks like he just had super bad luck in being born into such a cruel trade. Chain stores have no business selling live animals. It couldn’t have been treated, you did exactly nothing wrong here. I’d suggest buying from a breeder next time, some sell for $75, but you’re less likely to get ADV+ beardies from a reputable breeder.

I'm sorry to hear he didn't make it =(. My first guess is atadenovirus as well. If this is the case, you didn't do anything wrong. If you do decide to bring another dragon home, I advise thorough cleaning and sanitization of all equipment in order to prevent further infections since this virus can be contagious.

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
