Now he’s doing this:

I checked the temp and it’s at 105. He originally was off the basking rock and was gaping, temp there was 85. I put him on the rock and he is stuck like this and shallow breathing.

Since he's shedding his may may be somewhat plugged. If he wants to come off the rock, that's O.K though.

I honestly think this is it, he’s barely breathing and not moving.

Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 4
Get him out and hold him --- they usually try to crawl to a cool spot for some reason --- here is some info on a dragon dying I hate to do this but it will help to know what to look for
SIGNS THAT A BEARDED DRAGON IS DYING
• Their skin looks grey or dull looking – but they are not shedding.
• They become lethargic, uninterested and unresponsive – but they are not in brumation.
• They will stop eating.
• The eyes appear sunken or droopy.
• They may spend more time in the cool end.
• If they are attempting to move they will may drag themselves along – This can be distressing to witness.
• They appear to have “given up”.
• Their breathing will become very shallow.
I am sorry -- I hate to hear this --- :(

I’m 99% sure he’s dead now. I picked him up, put him in warm water, he usually reacts to this and nothing. He’s stuck with his mouth a bit open, eyes open, but no breathing, pupil dilation or eye movement. I hate this.

Aw, I'm so sorry. :( He just had such a tough time and had a serious underlying health issue for sure. Probably ADV but could have been other things. I'm so sorry.

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.
