Emergency!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pogona050897]

Okay. It really is not an emergency. I just wrote that so you would read this. What are some reasons that my 11 month bearded dragon would have stress marks? She is in an 85 gallon tank, with a 75 watt bulb, she eats crickets, grapes, broccali and almost any veggies. I never feed her carrots or lettuce of any kind. Whenever I get her out the stress marks go away. Is she just telling me that she wants to get out and play?

If I were you, I wouldn't post an emergency like that unless you really have one....you are more likely not to get any answers when you cry wolf and if you really have an emergency and need help.....people may just ignore your post.

Agreed with the posts above. Dont do it again.

but i will help you cuz im nice.

they normally show those marks when basking, so thats perfectly normal. it can also mean that they are uncomfortable. what are the temps, how you gauging them, etc. ?

i wouldnt worry too much about them though.
