Hey Brian. If your still holding a granite for me. Don't. I'm not sure what I got goin around, I have a few Snakes at the vet and some in the grave right now. Vet dont know what's happening. But I'v lost 2 lizards and a male regular burm, And another lizard I just droped off at the vet this morning that didnt look to good. I'v split'm all up into diffrent places so none of them are together. I got some out in the Sheds I had to move the rabbits outside , Have some in the garage. Anywhere we dont go normaly to keep germ or disease from spreadin to the others. I got a small baby pair of orange bearded draggons about 5 months ago. They made it through quarintine for 3 months before they got brought into the house. Vet checked and 100% healthy. They got moved into the living room in a cage I sunk half way into the wall facing the picture window outside. About a month later the female died. The male died about 5 days later. And the male burm that shares the livingroom with them oppisite there wall died two days ago. And now my 7' Iguana , who also shares the living room, is at the vet with the same thing. I still have all the clutches we prodused this year. I'm afraid to do anything with them till i find out what's going on. Even through they'v never even came close to them. I'm not taking any chances. This is such a pain in the ass. It's costin me a fortune. But hold onto yer stuff for a while. Ya dont want'm comin here till I can figure out what the beardies have spread.
The only thing they all seem to have in common, the lizards anyway, are having some kind of convultions or twitching realy bad. Like a seezure or something. The iguana I took up to the vet this morning is almost catotonic. He doesnt respond to anything from anyone, Then he'll just jerk awake and look around and bite at nothing. Then he'll pass out. Then jerk awake 10 minutes later to do it all over again. I'm realy worried were gona loose him too.

Vet said there gona run the same tests and see if anything shows up in the Iguana. But so far they have found nothing to explain this.
Why Cant i just have a good year for once ? eh ?

I'll hold the granite as long as you need me to. Man, this is just terrible. The first thing that comes to my mind is "Carbon Monoxide". Maybe you can have that room checked for some kind of a carbon monoxide leak or something. Other than that wouldn't a deadly virus show up in a necropsy? Any which way man, I am so sorry to read this. I know you loved those pets as much as I love mine.

Listen to Brian and get checked for Carbon Monoxide in the house. Gas heaters, Garages and water heaters can give it off, and if the heating system isnt working right it can cause problems too.

The twitching and lethargy sound like thats the problem. Go to Home Depot and get a CO test kit. It will be worth it..
