Last night I went to take "Squirt" my beardie out. He was asleep and his hammock had fallen but he was still partially on it. I was talking to a friend and the room was fairly dark. When I went to pick him up he freaked out ballooned up spiked the crap out of my hand and started flopping like a fish. He ended up on his back and I quickly picked him up with both hands. His head was twisted looking upward at me and his eyes were wide open. In a panic I took him in my room and set him on my bed. He could barely walk or move right. I put him in the bath for a bit and he started freaking out like he normally does. I held onto him and sat with him for a while. I took him out and he seemed better but not 100% I made him comfy and tried to feed him some applesauce. I debated on taking him to a pet hospital thats open 24/7 I decided to wait till morning and made him comfy in my bed so I could monitor him. This morning he seemed better but when he went to climb up a pillow as he normally does he just fell to the right....
As far as diet and bulbs go my girlfriend takes care of all that. Here's what I do know:
We give him a bath and let him soak for a while at least 1-3 times a week.
When he does go to the bathroom its big and seems like it takes a while. My girlfriend is constantly worried about that.
He is around 14 months or so old. Since day one he's been more athletic and active (till this episode) than my other beardie that is almost 3
Once in a blue moon he will eat veggies but mainly eats horn worms and super worms. The worms are always dusted with the white powder.
We've had issues with lights as of recent. We were waiting a while for a light thats supposed to be the best. It was online and the guy keeps saying the lights are held up in customs. A few days ago we bought lights from the local pet store.
I'm waiting on a reptile breader I know to call me. I want to take him to be looked at but figured while I'm waiting I'd see if anyone else has any ideas? I've trolled around the site for a while and just registered. Thank you in advance!
