r/BeardedDragon

I woke up this morning and my bearded dragon turned aggressive and with a black beard. Any ideas?

He has been shedding recently. But this has been like this since before he started shedding. I’ve seen some severe cases from other reddits. But not sure about mine.

First picture before two and 3 were in the middle and 4 is after lights were moved slightly closer together thank you again subredditer for helping and being kind!!

Rainbow siege tank remodel day start to middle it’s almost done I’ll show the final when I’m done she don’t know what to think right now empty tank as I’m soaking her bark rocks bowls hide in dawn and hot flipping water

I got this bearded dragon a few months ago from a family member that couldn’t care for it anymore. This spot on tail has Been here since I got her, and family member says she came like that as a baby. It has stayed looking the same this whole time. I’m now learning about tail rot though and wondering if this is what it is? Dragon acts fine and seems healthy, tail at that end does seem like it was broke off as it’s easy to move around and doesn’t feel secure to rest of the tail, the tip is black and that’s what concerns me the most. Again thought it has stayed this consistent look since family member got her as a baby, and in my 4 months of owning her I’ve never noticed a change…. What do I do?

Just wondering if any of these pictures Will allow a fair guess? I dont want to stress them out as im just getting them tame enough to hold.

btw, that temp reading is before i upped the wattage. its 106-108 now.

(After I took these pictures I put up his night heat lamp and basking lamp!)

This is a 50 gallon terrarium! I have the basking lamp on the far right near the ropes in case he wanted to get closer to the heat, and I keep the night heat on the left, though I think he likes the rope net.

So far I have the ubv/basking light on for 12 hours, then night light for the other 12 and I have automatic timers. I plan on feeding him in a seperate container so I can properly watch him eat the bugs (and I also want to move from eco carpet but I'm afraid of the high risk that comes with that...)

Any thoughts or advice? I'm a first time bearded dragon owner so I'm a bit nervous, I've never had a reptile before- :")

Baby’s vet appointment is coming up in 2 weeks for a new patient appointment. But I’ve noticed a color change after shedding. He was wiping his tail against his basking log, as if he’s trying to itch.

I received a beardie from someone who no longer wanted to care for it. I received this set up but I already know I’m getting a 4x2x2 pvc enclosure with the stand. This is what I have right now. Any and all suggestions for accessories is welcome. Also I’m looking for a taller basking spot. Thanks In advance.

Hi everyone, I've been caring for my bearded dragon for a few months now but I want to make sure I'm doing what I can to make sure theyre happy. This is their enclosure but they've been staying inside the rock all day and I'm not sure why. I have to life the rock to take them out to eat but it stresses them out. Any feedback is welcome.

He’s been doing daily Betadine soaks for around two weeks now, followed by a wound spray from our vet. When it hadn’t been getting any better (or worse) we went to another vet who gave us Amoxicillin and Animax Ointment. Two doses 2.5 ml of Amoxicillin a day for the past 11 days and applying the ointment after every Betadine soak (2 daily). But there’s still been no change, Neither of the vets had us bring him in and since nothing has changed I’m wondering if it could be something other than tail rot? The tip of his tail has a bit of a kink in it that was there when we got him, I believe he got it when he was a baby from one of the other lizards since babies are usually kept together.

Any idea what could be wrong?

They just sit in their hides and only come out to eat, they aren't difficult to keep at all, never even found one of them dead or had one try to escape aside from when I put my beardie in there to eat them and it stressed them out, but none actually managed to get out.
