post a pic of your tank so we can see what the problem is.

get his basking temp up to 110
make sure his uvb tube is a reptisun10 or arcadia 12 nothing else. Set it so that your dragon is within 8-10 inches from it at all times.

your dragon needs to settle in. dont handle him for a few days incase he is injured.

show us pic

i don't now how to post pic on this sorry i do have pic of her on my facebook i got her her temp is 100 and her humidity is at 60 % o yeah she use to have dirt but i read somewhere that that cud get her sick so i tuck it off a few hours ago
I am worried because she seems to be breathing hard. her chest excursions seem exaggerated. she has not opened her mouth to breath and there is no ocular or nasal discharge. she has black stress marks sometimes I wondered if baby dragons just appear to breath harder or should I be worried? Has anyone seen this related to overeating? or am i goint nuts

Hi

First of all i would take any water or water fountain what ever you have, take it...
The humidity is WAAAY too high.
i agree with Grogshla , what UVB are you using currently?
It sounds like some sort of respiratory infection, i would get your little one to the vets asap.

What piece of broccoli did she eat ? If it was the harder part, that can cause impaction just the same as a mealworm or cricket that is too large. Hard veggie pieces are hard to digest. Stick with turnip, mustard, greens for a baby beardie. Also, it's hard to get a proper temp. gradient in 10 gal. tank....basking spot should be about105 in there, but that makes it hard to get a cool end in the tank.

Hello,

Any updates for us on your baby?
Please answer the questions regarding the lighting for us so we can help you better.
As stated above, a 10 gallon tank is not large enough & is very difficult to maintain the proper temperatures in. The humidity should only be around 30-40 at the highest.
The temperatures for the basking should be in a range of 95-110 measured with a digital probe or a temp gun. If you are using a stick on type of thermometer, it will not be accurate in measuring the basking temperatures.

What else are you feeding your dragon?

[Drache613]

Hello,

Which 10 do you have, the Reptiglo or the Reptisun?
Take any water sources out of the tank that you can to help decrease the humidity.
Can you post a picture of your tank for us please?
What type of thermometer are you using to measure the temperatures with?

Keep us posted on your baby!

ok my baby bearded dragon is doing way better she is up but her two front hands seam to be broken or kind of paralyzed?

 

[Dragons of the Deep]

If I were you, I'd take her to a good herp vet ASAP... little dragons can decline very quickly, and a knowledgeable vet can answer all your questions and provide a better diagnosis.

 

[AHBD]

That's a sign of severe calcium deficiency, it can sometimes be corrected if dealt with immediately....needs calcium and proper lighting ASAP, bones are not developing properly. A vet visit if you have a good vet.

 

[Drache613]

Hello,

How is your baby doing?
That is most likely a sign of calcium deficiency. Which 10 tube bulb do you have, the Reptisun or the Reptiglo? This is important, because the Reptiglo is inferior to the Reptisun.
It would be a good idea to try & get her to a vet if at all possible. If you need help finding a vet, try this site:
