I had Merlin out after his bath. He's 11 years old. He jumped down from my lap while I was warming him up in a towel. My phone rang and about 20 mins passed before it hit me that he was still out. I found him under the dresser laying in a pile of boric acid my roommate had put out last week for roaches. I was mortified! I dragged him out and rushed him to the sink, where I rinsed him off really good and tried to see inside his mouth to see if he ingested any. I don't know if he ate any of this stuff or not. I can't find anything online about symptoms in bearded dragons if they DO eat boric acid. Idk what to do other than watch him. The vet I normally use is of course out of town this whole week. The girl said she'd leave a message for him to call me back but it may be later tonight. Anyone have any experience with boric acid? If it kills roaches, I'm terrified it will hurt my baby too. He may not have eaten any but I can't be sure!
