Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

please help!!!!!!!! sick dragon
Ok so I purchased the female bearded dragon from someone locally. She is about a year and a half and pretty yellow girl. The guy I was getting her from said she had a breeding accident. The male scratched her is is what he told me. So I expected her eye to be a little weepy. Well we met at night in a parking lot and I saw the eye as he had told me. When I got her home and in the light I realized both eyes were weepy. One eye was scratched as he had told me. This guy really pulled the wool over my eyes, let me tell you. She has crust buildup in her nose. Doesn't appear she can breathe out of her nostrils. She also has an orange film around her lips. She opens her mouth and it whistles. So she has an upper respiratory infection correct? I have never had a sick dragon like this before. What do I do? How can I get her back to normal? Also I noticed that she isn't eating very much and hasn't lost any weight. So I put her in some dirt thinking she may be pregnant but she won't dig. She just sits there. Well this morning I came down and she popped out an egg last night. So she is pregnant on top of having an URI. What should I do? She is back in the dirt. Now she's really sick and pregnant. This is a lot for her little body. I can't believe she was this sick and this guy bred her like that. Any suggestions??? I am out of ideas. I really don't want to lose her.

Definately get her to a vet as soon as possible...she needs the works...bloodwork/x-rays/injections, maybe even some fluids. Just be prepared, and bring your wallet!
Also, have everything the vet says documented so you can start building a case to post on the BOI about the guy you bought her from.

Yes, a vet ASAP...until then, keep her as warm and stress free as possible. She'll be critical if she has a bunch of eggs in her. Try very gently giving lukewarm waterto drink with an eyedropper. Keep her tank warmer at night, around 80. And take pics of her now so the seller can't say she got sick after you had her for a few days.
