So this is my first post, but will not be my last.
I have two 7-8 month old dragons, one male and one female. His name is Brutus and her name is Cassie. I changed their cages today and I noticed that Brutus' back left leg was injured. If I had to guess, I would say something is dislocated. When I support it with my fingers it feels limp and no muscle is being used. Two days ago he got excited and jumped from the couch to the wooden floor, and I think that is what did it. Although I didnt notice any injury until today, he seemed to be running around fine and not in distress. Anything helps, thank you

Hello,

Oh sorry to hear about Brutus. What type of floor did he fall or jump onto a hard tile or wooden or carpeted floor?
That is most likely what did it.
You said it looks dislocated?
Is his beard black as if he is in pain or distress?
Well, you could get an x-ray if you would like to, that would at least confirm if it is broken. I recommend doing that just so you know.
Does there appear to be any swelling or bruising that you can tell? It is probably too early to see swelling of the soft tissue, that can take a few weeks on them to show up. The bruising could show up already though.
I would move his basking platform down lower so he doesn't have to climb anything & hurt himself further. Just remember to move his lights down towards him to maintain his basking temps & UVB ranges.
Did he eat today?

Let us know how he is doing.

My beardie jumps like that all the time, and beardies like to let their limbs go limp. A lot.
Does he seem as though he is in pain? Such as black beard, grumpy, refusal to be active, that kind of thing?

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
