    I've rescued my first bearded dragon, and I need some advice.

    Hello, I am writing this post because of my beloved son. On March 3rd, I acquired Quasi the 5 year old bearded dragon for free off of Facebook. What his previous owners failed to mention in the post were his major spinal deformities, giving him an unnatural hunch in his spine. It's likely...

    So, I just got a rescue...

    I just got a rescue bearded dragon, I have an enclosure ready for them but I'm currently quarantining them.
