I recently rescued a male beardie that is missing his back legs from the reptile shop well associated with my Exotic Vet.
Forrest's back legs looks as if they were amputed by a vet at sometime. One leg goes down to his ankle but is missing the foot and the other has been removed to his knee, as you can see below.
My original plan was to house him with my 10 month old female beardie Pancake once he has finished being quarantined and seen by the vet. Pancake has a 120 gallon that I plan on making bioactive so I know it will be enough space.
However I noticed some backlash on disabled dragons breeding. Is this because it can cause pain for the dragon? Or issues with offspring? I hadn't planned on breeding them purposefully but if it happened I wouldn't be upset.
In the end I would really like to house them together but not if it's going to cause Forrest anymore unhappiness or pain.
Thanks! - Sydney
