sick beardie

[collywolly]

I have 2 X 2 y.o. beardies, 1 male and 1 female. the live in seperate enclosures, the female is fine the male not so. In the last 2 weeks he has become lethargic, uninterested in food most of the time , roaches,greens etc , spending an increasing amount of time with his eyes partly closed and has developed what can only be described as a turkey neck. I have moved them into their counterparts enclosures but with no real improvement.
would appreciate help

I'm no expert but some other info that'll help get an answer:
What's it's diet?
What temperature do you keep it at?

like I said roaches and greens....as they both do , temp 32 deg celcius since I bought them 2 years ago

32c isnt really hot enough for beardies.

All i can think is knock up temps, should have a basking psot of nearly 40. I'd suggest a vet to be safe.

Could be anything really I would take him to a vet to have a once over...... might be something internal that needs an xray or something...

32 in the hot spot/area is too low , duznt matter if u have had them for 5 years . its still too low , id bump it up to 36+ for the hot spot/ basking area . whats the temp of the cool area ?

Pics needed of the enclosure and lizard... though a vet will probably be needed anyway, so to save the time and hassle and just take it to one now.

 

[schizmz]

go to a vet ..:shock:..every minute you waste here may make it harder to save your boy.... go..now!.imo...

did a lousy job of explaining the temp issue t'stat is set at 32 deg . I have 38 deg hot spot. Could entering brumation this time of year be possible (photos of turkey neck to follow)
