R.I.P Supra 2020-2025

Hello all, I know I was never active here but I just thought it was right to make a post. Unfortunately as of 3 hours ago, my bearded dragon Supra passed away. Unfortunately he had an aneurysm in his mouth, I rushed him to an exotic vet about 3 weeks ago and they surgically closed the aneurysm.

He was on antibiotics and a liquid based diet from then on. I held onto hope as he was becoming more active and was running around. However his black beard never went away.

Today I took him to the vet for a Checkup on his condition and was told everything was great and the fecal tests came back completely fine. I was quite happy and took him home, placing him under his heat lamp to allow him to lounge. While I was packing my bags to attend a family funeral I noticed that he was in an extremely odd position with his body pressed up against the wall.

This next part explains what happened and might be a little graphic to some. Its ends after the next : *

When I went to check on him, he suddenly gasped for air. I picked him up to check his mouth and massage his throat incase something was stuck but the gasping persisted. I looked up many solutions and tried everything but I noticed he started to shut his eyes. I tried a last ditch effort of doing cpr for around 30 minutes.

Unfortunately Supra had passed away.

The first thing I did was look for an emergency vet but unfortunately the only open ones didn't accept exotic animals.

Supra lived a short but very fulfilled life. He went on many adventures with me and always ended the night by sleeping next to me in bed on his special pillow.

I wish it didnt happen but I'm glad it happened while I was still home. I was fortunate enough to be able to hold him in my arms and say my goodbyes.

Attached are many pictures of him as he grew up.

R.I.P Supra, my prince.

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?
