Your dragon is in distress or in pain - what kind of UVB are you using and what are your surface basking temps? How are you getting those temps? No stick ons please-- please feed fresh salads pellets are not very good-- those are meal worms? Are you feeding another staple feeder like dubia roaches crickets etc?

Thank you so much for replying we have her a warm bath with calcium in water she was eating and drinking just lethargic like.. she progressed into a seizure & then passed. So traumatic for my daughter. I’m not sure what happened. She’s had fresh greens, calcium & VD3 supplements, crickets, friend mealies, UVB & 75 Watt bask.. digital temp was all normal. This was so unexpected.. she was about 5 years old . This all happened so fast..

Coil for about 4 days I had just reordered her tube T5 & it was being delivered tomorrow.
Not sure what the seizure was about so something neurological was going on - UVB is critical and that is why I asked about it - was the T 5 on top of the screen? Screens will block 30% of the UVB rays - we usually try and rule out all the questions I had asked earlier starting there for a dragon black bearding- again I am terribly sorry -- for them to up and die all of a sudden is such a shock to anyone -

So sorry to hear this. :( There was nothing you could do once she reached this condition. Sadly . beardies can develop things like neuro endocrine tumors that might not show any signs until they have those last few really bad days. There's no way to tell what it was unless you had a necropsy done but beardies with this type of cancer will turn very black beard + chest like this and some will have seizures and/or vomit.

Hello,

Wow, I am sorry that you lost your girl so quickly, how awful for you both. :cry:
They are so good about hiding illness until it is too late. This seems so sudden. As AHBD stated it
would be hard to know for sure what the cause of death was without doing a necropsy.
My sincere condolences.

Tracie

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
