my bearded dragon is about 17 inches long he is in a 50 gallon with a 150 watt basking spot and sand as the substrate and lately he has acted like he was gonna throw uo and do his beard real quick and open his mouth and it looks like he is gagging does anyone have that problem or know whats wrong

Sometimes they exercise their beard, is what I called it....looks like they are going to throw up.....did he shake his head side to side? when they try to regurgitate they usually do that as well with the wierd beard movements.

Is he acting well otherwise? Good appetite and activity level? Stool look ok?

Make sure that you have a good uva/uvb light. Also if you are feeding insects then do not feed them any bigger than the width between your dragons eyes. If he regurgitates make sure you get him plenty of water or pedialyte. Also a $20 dollar vet check up could not hurt. dv

Hi
is his baskingspot 110-105?
some times if its lower ,then a respiration faulure can happend.
i also would advice to a checek up at a veterian and also let his poop check it never hurt .
