I received two Bearded Dragons 6-7 in. yearling appeared fine saturday,but today one has his head down. and when held will want to roll over the top of my fingers tilting her head downward and will almost do a Croc roll and acting semi-lethargic,is or was perfect otherwise????Thanks Chris p.s. i have had and bred beardies for years and never seen this

I've heard of such a syndrome in hatchling Bd's, but never in one of this size/age. Still, it sounds like something neurologic and a proper vet examination is in order. There is not much you can do with such problems at home.

Thanks the condition continued another day then miraculously it has disappeared with natural sunlight and soakings besides that i didnt do much else. i dont know if it had proper care prior to me and ironically i hatched a baby that week not at all related doing the head down spin ,it was a week late (behind the rest of the clutch). it was given to a lady friend who gladly takes in any i have that need special care ,foot nips,tail kinks,runts or what ever,Thanks Again for the reply.C
