My baby beardie doesnt seem well all of a sudden and im scared he wont make it. Usually hes hyper, running everywhere, window surfing and alert but today he keeps closing his eyes, hes gone a lighter colour (he looks yellow to me) and even if he does walk he moves slowly. Ive also noticed his tail darkening about half of his tail and when he runs his body is usually above the ground but now he keeps it low. Whenever i pick him up he runs for the hills but now he just lets me I found what seems to be parts of locust stuck to the side of his tank, im guessing they threw them up since i didnt see that yesterday. I fed him 1 Wax worm and he ate 4 baby locusts for me yesterday.
If you have read my last post ive only had Jaffa for about 3 weeks.
I used one of those stick on tempretures but the pet shop said they were no good and wont have a prob thermometer till tomorrow.
I use a 60w white bulb and a Repti Glo 10.0 UVB tube
his flooring is a green grass reptile carpet
His diet is mostly lettuce, grapes, squash sometimes, Bearded Dragon Juvenile soft pellets, baby locusts coated in calcium powder, 1 or 2 wax worms on a weekend for a treat.
He shares his tank with another baby bearded dragon that is smaller than him.
He was fine yesterday but theres just something wrong. Is it impaction? i gave him a warm bath to help.
Update!
Im panicking now guys I gave him a warm soak and he drank some water for me but then he started shaking his head and the 2nd time he did it he fell of my hand cause he shook is so violently. His poo seems runny and i think hes choking.
I put him in his tank he he moved his head in a slow circular motion then kept opening his mouth is quickly as if to try and throw something up. He did tho then he just kept poking his tongue out and has closed his eyes. I really worried now hes never done this before.
