Does This Beardie Look Upset?

[TylerBlue27]

I'm pet-sitting for my mom's friend. I want to take her dragon out, but I'm afraid he may be upset, as he looks a little dark. Thoughts? Also, don't worry, this is not his tank. It is the tank I'm in the process of setting up for my future beardie. He is just in here for today.

He's probably just wondering where the heck his human is. If he's not full-on black bearding and you're comfortable handling him, he'd probably appreciate the attention, provided: 1. You have the owner's permission (assuming yes since he's in your care), 2. You're careful to keep him from jumping/falling, and 3. He's used to being handled/snuggled. :0)

Thank you! I took him out. He was running back and forth in the tank and staring at his own reflection. Our porch is screened in and therefore an excellent beardie spot. We're chilling now, I hope. Haha.

The tank has a Reptisun bulb in it as well as a 75 watt heating bulb.
Good to know about the disinfection. I will be sure to do that.

It is a coil.

Thank you. Question: what does a good feeding schedule look like for a baby/juvenile beardie?

Ours feels comfortable with her back legs fully supported also Asura head bangs the glass front when she needs to go to the toilet we then put puppy training mats down on the living room floor ..... doesn't always work but it's fun going around after her. Have fun x

He looks exactly likey beardie and my beardie is perfectly fine and happy. If anything he is just nervous around the new surroundings. Also, is he a citrus leatherback?

I'm not sure what he is. Good to know.
