Hey thanks for the quick response! So from searching this on Google most places say it's toxic for bearded dragons to eat tomato leaves but if you look up tomato plants themselves they say it's a myth that the leafs are not toxic. I sure hope my Rex is going to be ok!

I have basically no knowledge of reptiles specifically, but generally there are two things you do when someone consumes something toxic. You either A) get them to throw up, OR B) get them to consume a lot of water and other food to dilute the effect. In some only one of these options is good and the other is bad. Obviously you can't induce vomiting very well, so I'd look into feeding him a lot of other things that he likes, especially such with a lot of water content. But I'd research it first.
I don't know about the leaf being toxic either.
For future use I would order this stuff to get in your beardie first aid kit.

Hello,
He should be fine, if it was just a small amount.
It is always good to have activated charcoal on hand in case of ingestion of anything toxic. Also, a quick slurrie you can put together is get some parsley & cilantro & mix it with water to help detoxify his system, too.
