Hey there! I have noticed my Western bearded dragon, Hyperion, has a slightly swollen leg and the scales look foggy? I'd assume this was just shedding, if her leg wasn't swollen. She is five years old and I've had her for about two months. I was just wondering if anyone knew what was going on with her leg and whether it's something I need to go to the vet about. Her appetite seems fine though, and she loves gulping down bugs every Saturday. Her temperature sits at 40 degrees Celcius on the hot side and about 30-35 on the cooler side. Her basking rock hits 50 degrees and I use a spray bottle to give her water daily. She eats greens, though so far I've only found she likes Rocket and Parsley. I'm still experimenting with other types of greens. I was told by the pet store I bought her from that she was fed only silk worms by the person who sold her to them, and originally told me she was over weight. However it turned out she was gravid and laying eggs, which was a highly stressful thing for me, as a new lizard owner. She turned out fine and the vet said she was okay. I hope this extra information might help you guys figure out what's going on with her leg.
