I have been told my beardies may have a fatal fungus in their intestines that was only identified 18 months ago and wiped out an entire beardie colony. My vet told me it can't even be identified correctly yet because there are 5 or 6 other fungi in that same family that look very similar under a microscope. Has anyone ever heard of this or had any experience with it?
