Hi all,
I really need your help. My bearded dragon suddenly isn't active a few days ago. He suddenly doesn't wake up in the morning like he usually does.
Information:
Tank: 4ft by 2ft by 2ft
Temperature: 30-38deg C (never falls below 30C as i'm in a tropical country)
UVB: Exoterra UVB150 13W x 2
Humidity: about 50%
duration I've had him: since end march 2019 (4inches then)
Age: 3months
Length: 10inch
Last poop: the day before he didnt wake up (rule out impaction??)
Substrate: newspaper. (removed sand a month and a half ago because it injured it's right eye when digging)
My dragon suddenly didnt wake up in the morning, eyes closed. He pooped the day before and ate the day before. He had been lethargic a week before and I assumed it is because of his shedding. I i have been giving him daily soaks because of the shedding. But one morning, he suddenly didnt seem normal. His arms are tucked in constantly and when i try to spread it, it feels stiff. when i carry him, he only twitches when i tilt him sideways. Could it be impaction? He pooped regularly until that morning. I tried soaking him in water but no changes. Could it be brumating? My tank temp never falls below 30C. I really have no idea what else to do. His eyes are always closed, when i opened one of his eyes a little, it appears wet.
PS: reptiles are not legal where i'm from, so a reptile vet is not easily available. so really hope i could get some assistance here.
