Euthanizing old dragon

Let her live out the rest of her life in comfort , My old dragon Big Daddy that just passed away got lazy the last year of his life slept most of the time

He was too lazy to eat anything other than a cricket that would wander near his mouth that he did not have to chase

I would hand feed him his greens daily by wiggling them and he ate them , also gave him lots of hugs and kisses and let him fall asleep on my shoulder most nights

he got an extra year of life by doing this with no discomfort and seemed happy

Give your elderly buddy the "Dragon Retirement Plan" which consists of extra love and care , they deserve it

Hell no .... !

if she's not ill or in pain , and still eating regularly, ,killing her because she might be a little bit inconvenient to care for because she's very old and set in her ways and very lazy, is a detestable thing to do to her.

If I lived locally to where you are I'd take her in a heartbeat .

Let her enjoy her last months or years in comfort and safety and give her lots of loving while she's still around, she deserves it.

I'd make sure you set up her enclosure so she doesn't need to climb much and give her lots or quality time and treats .... spoil her , don't kill her. Heck she might have another few years of healthy life in her yet (I've heard of beardies living into their 20s).
