I have two deformed baby dragons that were born with deformities. Lumpy started out as having only a very mild kink in his tail and bend in his spine. It was barely noticable - until recently. He's now 2 months old and his deformities are really starting to take shape. It seems that the more he grows the more severe his deformities are. I'm not saying that this is what is wrong with your beardie, I'm just pointing out that there are other things that can cause a kink in the tail/spine and a bend in the back.



This is what Lumpy looked like a month ago (he's the one on top). His deformities were just barely noticable....







And this is Lumpy today...













I know the deformities look bad, but he's eating and thriving so far. We keep our fingers crossed and pray every day.
