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.

Sick Bearded Dragon
Last week I adopted a bearded dragon from a young girl in my classroom. I found out that her father was going to put it in the freezer because the family didn't want it anymore due to its special needs. It has a broken back and his backbone has fused together in an S shape and it sticks up rather high and he has no tail. He seems to not be in any pain and goes to the washroom well and eats pretty well too. I have him in proper temperatures and under the right kind of lighting. I've have been giving him collard greens and kale with a bit of carrots on top for his greens. Tonight I got home and he seemed great but half an hour he started vomitting. I am very concerned about this. I have never had a bearded dragon before but have done as much research as I can to make sure he is getting what he needs. Could he just have ingested too much or what could be causing him to get sick? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Vomiting or regurgitation can occur because of overeating or can be sign of systemic illness. Try feeding smaller amounts and if it regurges or vomits you likely have something more serious going on. If you have a qualified reptile vet in your area you should consider taking it for an appointment, especially if it regurges on smaller food amounts.

He most likely ate to much dragons are hunters and granted yours has a broken back it should still have meat in its diet..

sick dragon with meat hanging out
That could be a prolapse. Go to a herp veterinarian ASAP. I have never seen a case of hemorrhoids in any reptile.
