With the sounds your hearing, is it like a popping sound? Beardies can get upper respitory infections (chest colds) to us. I think the vet is a good idea. Has he been flaring his beard more then usual like trying to get something out of his throat? If so this is a sign of swollen glands. Glands swell usually because of a bacteria infection. I'm nowhere near an expert but these are some signs to look for and be conserned about. If it continues a vet should see him. Hold the dragon to your ear and listen for a popping sound or a gurgling sound, Sure signs of a respitory problem. Ussualy to clear it a vet will use some baytril or another bacteria affecting drug. Just my thoughts on this. Good Luck and maybee someone here can give you a second opinion. ----- Photos
