[QUOTE="PastelBeardie2, post: 2029642, member: 111110"] I am not a beardie medical expert, but thought of something. My first beardie died young, too. When he was necropsied, his liver was huge. Both the vet (who is a reptile nerd, LOL) and a few other people told me that some places producing beardies are just mass producing them for the market, and they are running into problems like enlarged organs from inbreeding. He also said that since Australia does not allow them to be exported, they lack diversity in the gene pool, so when people breed them for colors, etc., that further narrows the gene pool. You said her heart was enlarged. That could have been the cause, along with stress placed on a heart that would probably not have lasted much longer. That's my 2 cents. Again, I'm no expert, just a beardie owner making a guess based on what I've been told. [/QUOTE]
