[Wolfgirl97578]

Hey guys I just noticed my bearded dragons arm looks alittle different then usual probably because he walks,eats, drinks normally and he hasn't had a major fall in months (he decided he didn't want to be on my body anymore) but I did a check and nothing out of the normal was wrong so I need yalls help

How old is the dragon? Whats the dragons diet? The only thing i can think of is gout, either from too much bugs and not enough veggies.

I got him back in March so maybe 5 to 6 months old and he eats alot of crickets but he eats a small bowl of collard greens a day

Well his other arm has it too just not as pronounced as this one so I don't know if it's a stage or what he is my first bearded Dragon lol

I am not sure whats going on -- keep an eye on it and if it starts to swell more it would be a good idea to take him in
www.arav.org what UVB are you using? NO coils please --- it makes a difference

Im not an expert, but im thinking its gout :/ if i were you id get a second opinion from someone more experienced in this, gout can be treatable and even reversed if u catch it soon enough, id start with maybe giving him different bugs, crickets arnt the best of feeders, bsfl are good (dont dust them) roaches are probably best for overallness, he can eat mealworms/supers at the age he is, hornworms are great for hydration.

Alright thank you for the help and if he gets way to much worse I'll just take him to the vet see what they say but he's acting normal and showing no signs of pain

Ok that is good --- if it was gout he would be in pain --- it is very painful --
