Is he/she awake at this hour? When was the last time he/she pooped? What has s/he eaten today?

 

[paperplanes]

Beardies will puff up some times, mine do it when the light come on while they want to sleep but more often in the tub as that is how they swim. Like fat little ballons.

Hello,

How is your dragon doing today, is he still bloated & puffed up?
How do his eyes look, are they bright or sunken in?
They will a lot of times puff themselves up like that, and are fine.

no hes fine. his eyes are fine

Hello,

Ok, that is good. I wanted to make sure that he did not have swollen eyes, that would not be a good symptom.
How is he doing today?

i think he is doing well. his hands are shedding.

do you know if they can sense emotions? im going through a tough time right now lol im worried i could affect him some how

 

[Drache613]

Hello,

Very good he is doing well. So, his hands are going to shed then?
The can sense if something is wrong I believe. I have often thought they do react to your emotions, as dogs or cats would. If you spend enough time with them, you can really get to know their specific moods.

ok. yes his hands are shedding.

he seems bummed out like me. im catching him resting his head. maybe hes bored. i dont know.

Hello,

How is your dragon doing today, is he looking any better? Is he still looking bloated right now?
Please keep us posted on him. I hope his shedding is going well for him.

he hasnt shed since like two weeks after i got him. he has grown. hes starting to have some discolouration on his little shoulder pads i like to call them. hes feet have shed.

Hello,

Well, if he is starting to look preshed, then, that could account for his swollen looking appearance, depending on "how" swollen he is.
Is he eating anything right now?

his feet were looking abnormally large. he did shed them and they look normal now.

he is eating well and fine. crickets dusted, kale greens. bought a couple silk worms as a treat yesterday.

around his shoulder pads the scales look almost blurry. grey
