Hello everyone,
I tried to search many forums and wesites to find answer for my beardie problem, but no luck so here I am.
Her name is Chardoney and she's about 10 months old.
For past few weeks she's making this weird noise with her mouth.
Always after eating she starts to puff her belly up, then it looks like she moves it into her beard and then opens mouth slightly and let the air out, making something like "puff, pff" noise.
She has great apetite I think. There was this problem she had, 3 days before Christmas she vommited 2 times. I was checking on her but she haven't vommit after that anymore. She vommited all the mealworms I gave her, because we were out of crickets and cucumber too (she loves cucumber) but I looked away for a minute so she propably ate too much. Because she vommited really many of the worms.
The next day she looked perfectly fine, was basking, even running around the tank and looked on us from it, bobbing her head and waving arm. She didn't want to eat for maybe 3 days but I thought that's okay since she vommited.
But maybe a few days after that (didn't notice really when it happened for the 1st time) she started doing this puffing when eating and after it too. But she eat normally (well not so much as she used to eat like few month ago). Yesterday when I took her out in the evening she was even making a sound like smacking lips and doing this noise when she wasn't eating.
Also we have this problem with pooping. She poops only when I take her out of her tank or into a bath and/or when I massage her belly. She won't poop for many days if I won't take her out.
Also she lost her activity, she has a bit darker colour sometimes. I'm really worried about her, especially after the vommiting.
Yesterday I read on the internet that she might have the puffing problem from the sand she had in her tank so I took it out and left only few things in there. I washed everything under really hot water and dried it before I put it there again.
She didn't shed for maybe 2 months already, which is weird too, right?
I would be glad for any help or advice, it makes me really worried. Thank you!
