Hay guys
Ive had my beardie for about a month and a half now and has been fine until around 2 weeks ago after he shed hes skin hes been frightened when i go to touch him or pick him up he runs up the wall run to the other side of the enclosure and i dont know what happened. And its been 2 days now and he hasnt eaten :( but poos daily and walks arounf normally ect and when he opens hes mouth (gaping) theres like a popping sound when he does it, and hes nose looks blocked :s
im so paranoid

Hes enclosure is 4ft by 2 by 2 hes cold side is around 25 and hot side around 40 he has a uvb tube 10.0 which i bought recently tile for the floor

Any ideas guys ?

ok he just ate :D
 
New skin is acturally sensitive. Have you ever had a sunburn? After you peel feel the skin- its gonna hurt. He may have a hard time breathing cuz think- hiccups is your air ways clogged. He's gasping for air which = the hiccup. As for the blocked nostrils- your best bet is to gently go in with tweezers and lightly pull the dead skin.
Glad to hear he's better

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
