No there is nothing that would bite him, he is in with other females and they wouldnt bite him
My wordt fear was that it could be a heamorage, stomach ulcer, concusion or something along those lines. He hasnt been eating much the last couple of days but I have put it down to the weather as they were in the garden for a few days as it was really hot and then they have been inside for the last couple of days as the weather dropped.

He has been to a vet this morning, not a reptile vet I may add, she thought it could be an infection in his tear duct, there doesnt seem to be any blood in his mouth, a little around his lips but this may be what has dripped from his eye.

I sent my BF out this morning to get him his favourite wax worms, he usually goes mad for these but he only had 3, so he is eating slightly, its not that he cant see them as I have tried and tried to get him to eat them by putting them near him and away from him infront of his good eye.

I am at this moment waiting on a call to hear about a reptile vet, he has an appointment with a different vet this afternoon so I can get a second opinion. He may see 3 vets today, I will do whatever it takes to get him better, he is my first and favourite Beardie.

Please if anyone has encountered this problem before please tell me about it, or if anyone has any advice please let me know.

Thanks.
