Is my beardie dying?

[Alyssavallejos]

So this morning my bearded dragon was perfectly fine. I took him out of his cage and fed him a good amount of mealworms. Right after he finished eating I took him outside, in his cage to bask in the natural sunlight. I check back on him an hour later and his beard is all black. I let him roam around the grass and he threw up thick spit and his mealworms. So I took him back inside to his cage and let him rest for a bit. His beard was still black. I then put him in a warm bath but then 10 minutes later, he threw up again, just thick spit. So now he’s basking in his tank with a black beard and is twitching and shaking. He stays in one spot and just twitches. He’ll sometimes calm down but his beard is still black. I really don’t know if it’s a clogged nose or dehydration or WHAT. PLEASE HELP.

What type of enclosure was he in outside? How is he doing right now?

I hope you did not put him out in his glass tank. Glass acts as a magnifying glass in the hot sun, and can quickly bake a beardie.

If this is the case, he likely overheated. Does he drink for you if you drip water on his mouth?

It’s more of a tortoise enclosure that’s filled with bark and a water bowl. I let him outside and hang in there usually for natural sunlight and when it’s 90 degrees usually. Right now he still twitches. He tried walking but struggles. He’s just closing his eyes and trying to sleep I think but his beard is still black.

It’s not glass and I usually let him sit in a cat litter box and filled with warm water. He never drinks water from his mouth

Im wondering if he maybe ate something that made him sick.
