Hi Tracie - thank you so much for asking. His eye hasn’t changed. I can’t find pure saline solution. The local reptile store only had turtle eye drops which we could use however they are for vitamin A deficiency. We are bathing him often and spraying him with water to keep him hydrated. He is...

Ok thanks - I will try this. We are worried, hoping it’s because he’s going to peel!

Can I get the saline solution at the pet store? I wasn’t sure if this is a prescription item?

Still swollen... has anyone experienced this before?

I get it!! We were so scared about our beardie I actually almost postponed a vacation lol - luckily the vet was able to squeeze us in! Keep us posted!!

We have a UV bulb (the long skinny one we change every 6 months) and regular heat lamps. He's almost 8 and nothing has really changed with his cage setup. No substrate (we have a little flat rug on the bottom of his cage but nothing he can eat/swallow from it). He does seem like he may be...

Yes! The vet took a pair of very dull scissors and "cut" into his tail - didn't break the skin, of course! Just very gently pinched him. He jumped so that meant there were nerve endings since he felt pain. Tail rot means the tail is literally rotten and dead. Your beardie's tail isn't dark...

Please help me figure out why his eye is swollen? Just the one eye. Thanks!

That is not tail rot! My beardie had the same thing a few weeks ago, I panicked and took him in to the vet. He pinched it to see if my beardie felt pain (he did, which meant there were still nerve endings). It started peeling an hour later. And ours was darker than that. Another time our...

Hi Everyone - I haven't posted much on here but wanted to share a story I hope will make your day. Some things only beardie owners understand. This definitely fits this category. :lol: So we own 2 beardies. One is Thomas. He is turning 8 in a few weeks and we got him as a hatchling, so he's...

His cage got very hot when this first happened- we were gone overnight and had the air conditioner off. I thought he was hot and we turned one of his lights off for a bit while we adjusted the heat in the house. We also take him out a lot - he gets a lot of attention. So maybe that’s it? We’ve...

Thank you for responding! I am actually away for the next 4 days. My husband is home with him. But I’ll post more pictures when I get home. The tail is definitely only dark on the top. Yes, it’s dark all the time- daytime and nighttime when he’s asleep. My concern/question is this has never...
