I found a bearded dragon.

[Fourwheels]

My aunt passed away, and she had a bearded dragon. Well, mine now. Anyways, his name is Rango, (short for, My Durango, #95) when I inherited Rango he was in pretty bad shape. Keep in mind now, I've never even heard of a bearded dragon before now. Some of his tale is missing, I found out that he had gotten his tale closed up in a door and then turned to what I was told was "tale rot" and he has a lump on his rib area. I don't believe he was taken care of like he was supposed to be, obviously, he acts very scared of everything as well as everyone. I do believe he has gotten comfortable with me. But I don't know what I am doing here and I can't afford to take him to a vet to get his tale and rib seen about and I don't know if he is pain or comfortable and happy. But I just can't give him away and live with not knowing if he is being mistreated or neglected. I don't know if any of this makes since at all. I just need help. I don't know what I'm doing

Hope all is well im curious if you situation has been handled

im new to the BD life too- & money shoot- im dead broke- so i get it-i give her fresh greens & fruits daily u can find a list of good & bad foods online then she gets 50 roaches about every 2-3 days and a bunch of crickets (cuz they die like the next day) she gets those a couple times a week but roaches everyday- my Letty is a juvenile so she needs more protein, i shake thm all up in caliucm powder like a sugar donut is how they should be coated. i got a 40 gallon tank online used for 100$ & it came with a double dome light & i hve both her lights in it. but my temps still aren’t rite & it stresses her out-i just found out she needs a hid- i just picked her up 1. it’s a little expensive to set up- but thn its really only food- it would do him greatly if u just took the plunge & set him up properly & handle him everyday-u will see a big change in him once u get him in the proper enclosure.. like i said im new to (about 8 weeks now) but learning as i go-im a work n progress. lol.. i hope this helps.🫶

Well I decided to keep Rango. I kinda got attached to the handsome dragon. Hes still scared of everything but I think he's getting used to me (I hope). There is one thing, have you ever heard of ones bottom eyelids turning blue?

Could be coloring or possible shed coming on

I think maybe it's like the bellies of the translucent beardies. I think the eyelid is thin so on light colored dragons you get that effect.

Yes that's normal.

I’m not sure if you have already seen this, but this website is has a really good food chart for beardies. Ignore the section about kale, kale is actually a really good staple veggie! And yes, the eyelid looks normal.
