I recently received a beardie... very sweet... 3 year old female. I was told she had recently clutched but may have a clutch in her.
Fine.
Shes in a 50 gallon tank with playsand.. reptisun.. her temps are 106 on her basking side and 80 on the cool side, though she rarely leaves her basking area.
She wasn't fat when I got her.
Daily, She eats her 6 superworms, or 2-3 Large silkies... or 1-2 hornworms.. and her salads.. (this weeks: Kale, collard greens, mustard greens, a bit of cilantro, zucchini and a bit of carrot.) She gets her vitamins and calcium with d3 and an anti parisite (parazap).
About 3 weeks after receiving her, she started to get get plump. I didn't think much of it as her previous owner had said she may clutch again... and she got even fatter and fatter.. its been two months.. she's ginormous! When i got her she was at 378. Last I checked she was up to 546 grams... she looks like a balloon.
In the last two weeks her pooping has slowed, in the last two weeks which concerns me as well.. it seems like shes having a hard time so we take a bath every day.. she poops a little but not like my other dragons.
What am I doing that is making her so fat?
