Hey guys. So I'm freaking out. Last night my beardie, 3 yrs old, fell off my husband's shoulder. Landed on his back. So like 5 ft he fell from. His beard has been black all night, and he I haven't seen him walk yet. Just scoot forward. I'm taking him to the vet this morning, but what do you guys think it could be? A fracture? He doesn't seem to be swollen, but i can't be sure.

Please have them do X rays-- sounds like he may have broken something--- I am hoping not -- NO enemas tho---- I dont know why they would want to do that now anyway but just in case --- let us know please

Oh no! Yes it could be a fracture. I work at a vet and I’ve only seen one bearded dragon who broke a leg. Definitely have them do the X-ray. Don't be afraid to ask questions. It’s better knowing then not knowing. Keep us posted on how he’s doing

Hello,

So sorry this happened, he has most likely hurt his back but, hopefully it isn't too bad. Please let us
know what the vet thinks & what was found if x-rays were done.
Is his beard still dark?

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.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
