On a FB group, someone recently suggested to the owner of a female dragon that she get her beardie neutered to prevent egg binding. This sounded odd to me... I didn't know that dragons COULD be neutered, let alone that it might be desireable. I'm guessing it would be quite pricey and risky. But is this a thing, getting dragons "fixed?"

There is a surgery that can be done to remove their ability to produce eggs. It is complicated and risky, but I've read of successful results. This tends to be reserved for cases in which they produce eggs quite often and have increased risk of infection due to eggs bursting or not being reabsorbed properly. It's not something I would take lightly or consider to be a reasonable option under normal circumstances. It is certainly not the "routine" sort of procedure that a dog or a cat would undergo.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
