Please can anyone give me some advice or ideas my bearded dragon who was only 17 months old and never woke up this morning. He showed no signs of being sick. He was acting perfectly normal yesturday eating and active. We had him out and he looked and acted good. He didn't lose any weight or act lethargic. I turned the lights on this morning and he was sleeping in the corner where he usually sleeps. He didn't open his eyes but i didn't think anything of it. After i turn lights on i give them about an hour to warm up before i feed them. I went to feed them their greens and he was still in the corner with his eyes closed. I picked him up and saw he had died and just started crying my eyes out. I checked his belly and no impactions. I saw he had defacated- i am assuming after he passed but checked anyway. Another strange thing is his color was very bright and not faded. He didn't look ill at all. Please can anyone give me some ideas or advice? Thankyou in advance, Melissa
