My male breeder just slowly died!
I noticed like i said in my last post that yesterday he never ate, slept all day didnt move around,lastnight he looked worse, this morning i decided to try and warm him up,,before i could do that ,he had a seizure and thick saliva came drooling from his mouth,at this stage i thought he was gone for sure but some some life still in him i put in warm water and he was trying to drink but was choking,put him back under his light came down stairs to check on him his tongue was hanging out the side of his mouth,,Could this might of been caused from the fighting and biting that went on last weeek between the 2 males

Giving the past posts you have placed, the cause of your male dragon's death could have been many things. Stress from fighting, being caged with too many animals and not enough space, respiratory infection, improper heating etc.

My suggestion, Take all your animals to a qualified reptile vet for full examination, blood work, fecal exams, the works. Also, pick up the 'Bearded Dragon Manual', 'Your Bearded Dragon's Life' (by Liz Palika) and spend as much time as you can reading caresheets on the internet, including sites like www.beautifuldragons.com and www.bearded-dragon-network.com/oldbvd/?PHPSESSID=888e9a78a569d437f072e321e2db4101
