Bearded Dragon Pale

insomniacpro Apr 05, 2006 11:21 PM

I have had my female dragon for coming on 4 years and overnight she became really lethargic. Her tail flops to the ground when lifted, and she rarely opens her eyes. Also, her skin has lost much of its pigmentation and she has gotten very pale.

She still has her chubby belly and drinks water when given. However, she refuses to hide or climb to her basking spot.

I moved into a new apartment a month ago and have switched her from sand to newpaper during this time. Other than that, there have been no change to her feeding or lighting regiment.

??

Has anyone experienced these symptoms in their dragons?

...Also, her beard has darkened substantially.

Take her to a vet asap!

Such a sudden change in behaviour can only mean something is serously wrong.
