HELP!!! My Beardie is Has Been Having "Weak flashes"

[Hopefulresearch]

My beardie suddenly becomes weak, kinda unresponsive, mode. It really scares me when that happens. Please help! I was giving him his bath and he suddenly couldn't hold his head up, closed his eyes and his mouth and nose went underwater. He didn't make an attempt to move up so I pulled him out. I'm gonna try to get reptaid tonight to see if that helps. An ideas why this is going on? I don't think that something like this happens because relocation stress.

Cam does the same thing when she gets stressed out, often in the bath. I think it may be some sort of reaction to new or scary situations. I don't know for sure though. :dontknow:

Did it look kind of like this? (minus the cat of course)
Waffle does this when he drinks. I thought he had passed out or was trying to drown himself the first couple of times I had seen him do it. Eyes closed, not moving, scary looking.

Was probably just drinking

All due respect, but I don't think so. He's mouth wasn't open, he was slightly tipped to the right. It really didn't look good. His head was below the line of his back, instead of up high like normal. I did get some rept-aid today.

I've had it happen to Cam outside the bath as well. It's very weird. :?

Yep its normal!!! One of my females do it every bath!! Before and after her poop!! It almost looks like she is drowning!! She is fine!!! Good luck...
