My vet tech friend came over and checked him out for me. He was completely stiff and she said his eyes were glazed over and mouth completely dry. She also couldn't find any heart or breath sounds. We tried the flip test but it got absolutely no response from him. She called the vet she works...

Thank you everyone for the advice and support and the love. I greatly appreciate it. Unfortunately I think he has passed on. :cry: I'm going to give him a few more hours to make certain before I do anything because it is very hard to tell but I'm pretty sure he is gone.

Update: I just got home from work and found him with his mouth open sort of heaving like he was trying to throw up. I got him out and he was half stiff half floppy but still breathing. I felt something in his belly that was hard and I've never felt it before today. He also looks so much...

Update 2: Can beardies throw up? When I woke up this morning there was that same caramelly translucent oily grossness but only under and around his head/mouth and it was a little frothy this time. He also pooped shortly after his lights went out for the night. I checked him before I went to...

Here is a better photo of his tail/spine. I hate seeing him like this! :(

Update: Spyke seems to be doing a little better but mostly it's more of the same. His beard has gone back to being black and he's still acting lethargic with no interest in any food or water. He perked up a little during his bath today but still didn't consume any. I did get the uvb bulb...

Will do. I'm not home at the moment, I had to work, but he seemed to be more alert when I left. Basking happily on his log. I think it's going to be an uphill battle getting him back to healthy but he's a spirited fella so I have faith that he'll make it. If I get the chance to I'll take photos...

If the bulb isn't here tomorrow I will. (The store is already closed now) I live in PA in a very rural area. The nearest pet store to me is a farm store that sells mostly farm type things and very few reptilian items. They are great but I hate having to order things and wait on mail.

The ones at the store in my area are bad ones. I had to special order the one I did. Believe me, I'm definitely working on it. The replacement should be to me in approx 2 days. But it's the holidays so shipping is all crazy.

I recently got my Beardie back from a friend that was supposed to be watching and taking care of him for me whilst I was studying abroad and to much of my dismay he completely neglected my poor baby. :angry5: He also decided that Spyke (my beardie) didn't need all of the "stuff" he came with...

Freebies are always wonderful! I did that with the log he had before. And it is a genius idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it. :/ But the rocks thing I did not know. Thanks for the suggestion!

It might actually be 1 1/2 feet, not positive (It seems quite roomy). His health is good. He is 6 and surprisingly active and is 1ft 5in. The vet said he is a little dehydrated, but that 1 or 2 baths a week and misting him in between would help with that as well as misting his greens. I had a...

Hey everyone! As I am back home now that I have graduated college, I want to redo Spyke's viv. Unfortunately while I was gone, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer :( (we also got cats, but that's not so unfortunate and has actually been a huge help with mom). With this being the case...

Hey everyone! So long no see. Seriously though, it has been a looong time since I was last on this site chatting with all you lovely peoples. And to be honest I kinda miss you all. I blame college. Not only has it taken me away from my beloved beardie for more time than would like, it has also...

I haven't been on here in forever. Because life happened. I have some new photos of my handsome mister. Wanna see them? Good. Here. Enjoy. This one's my favorite. <3 On a side note.. I would seriously appreciate it if you could take a look at and share the crap out of this...
