Tiamat fell from about 4.5ft he landed on the linoleum, so there was no cushioning and he didn't land flat. I think if he had he would have been fine. I knew he was hurt as soon as he hit because his mouth gaped open and his tounge was hanging out. Its a horrible thing to go through, and I hope that no one else has to ever experience seeing their beardie in that type of state. :cry:

OMGosh, my heart probably would have stopped! Rufus is so squirmy and is obviously alarmed when I am walking with him so I have begun making a loose circle with two fingers of the hand he isn't on, to go around his neck, just above his shoulders with my palm over his back. So far, he hasn't been able to squirm through it. This position does make opening the sliding door a tad dicey but worth it to avoid having him smack down on a tile floor. Poor little bugger just doesn't like being carried around but I persist doing it with hopes that he will, someday, become more comfortable with it.

I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.

So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?
Swordtail has been doing a whole lot of "Lizard yoga" lately
Currently trying not to stress over my anemic dragon....she is being treated, but I don't agree with her treatment plan and have been seeking out a second opinion from another vet. If anyone else has dealt with anemia, please let me know how it was resolved. I am losing sleep over this :cry:
Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
