Hey guys,
I'm new to the forms. And sorta new to taking of a beardie, I mean I've had her (born male) for 6 years. Anyways, I've come here to ask some questions. Recently, Roxie's behaviour has changed; she use to run around her tank almost every day, but now she seems lethargic. Her tank setup is quite basic, a few furniture for her to run on, 3 lights (two basking) and one red light, which I will switch that to a moon light bulb. She's never had a problem with her lights one bit. Occasionally if it's hot here in Vancouver, I will only put one basking light on, the tank temp is always kept at 80. I should also mention that she is she is still shedding, it's on top of her head. She just finished with her front legs.
Anyways, when I give her some water, I would take her in the shower and let her sit there for as long as she wants. I do make sure that the shower is clean before anything else. I have caught her drinking the water that drips onto the shower floor. Her poop seems to be watery, but yet still chunky. So I know she's well hydrated. I'm just worried of losing my baby, my parents brought her all the way from Alberta, because my roommate didn't want to have a large dog in the house. I am truly blessed to have my little attitude dragon with me.
I just hope that her shedding is the only reason why she's lethargic. Also pictures of my baby down below. Also if anyone can, what is that red dot underneath her chin?
