Hello this is my first time posting. But into the more pressing matter.
My bearded dragon was fine when I first got home at 3:20 (MT) then I had to go to an appointment when I got home at 7:40 he was forcing exhalation. His beard is black, it's not usually black, and when he is exhaling air he looks up at the light. I've read up some whike trying to figure out what it is. I'm really hoping it isn't a respiratory infection. Some info on the dragon. He is about 2 years old and fully grown (I actually don't know the gender I'm guessing).
I have rembered that I was sick last week and I did have a humidifier in my room but it was as far away as could. I really hope it isn't and RI. Please help I'm really worried I don't want to lose another dragon.

Hi there, is he still doing it ? If so then it probably is a respiratory infection. What are your exact temps. in the tank, day + night ? Keep his temp. at about 80 overnight [ use a ceramic heat emitter so there's no light to disturb his sleep ] He might beat it if you've caught it quickly. If it continues you should find an experienced reptile vet to have a look at him. Hopefully he'll get over it quickly. :)

And here's an easy way to sex a beardie.:

Or just post a pic here with his/her tail arched up like that.

Thanks for your response. He has stopped doing it now. He coughed after a while, so I think it might have been something lodged in his mouth because he's fine and eating well. His night temperature us about 79 farenheit we put a space heater to warm up the room. I haven't gotten his day tempera ture yet. Also I do have a heat emitter light.

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.
