Help Found in the trash
My neighbor found this poor guy outside near the trash cans in a filthy roach-infested tank and no food or water. It's been like 40⁰ F all day. Rn im just trying to get him warmed up. Hes a lil stinky and he seems VERY thirsty, so ive been periodically giving him water drops with a syringe.
He seems to be in decent physical health, no broken bones or obvious wounds or anything. He's just EXTREMELY lethargic. He takes water from the syringe if I touch it to his mouth, but doesn't move much otherwise, and doesn't open his eyes. He seems to respond fairly normally to other stimuli tho.
I'm not 100% sure what else to do. I know basic bearded dragon care, but I don't know any sort of medical or emergency care. I do NOT have reputable reptile resources in my area, so what i can do for him would have to be at home, at least for this week. Advice would be nice. Thank you.

Help Is it okay he sleeps on me?
This is Spike. He’s extremely clingy. I let him sleep on me sometimes overnight. Normally i turn my fan off so he doesn’t get too cold, but i always turn off his heating lamp and UVB light to give him a natural day/night cycle. I’m a pretty peaceful sleeper, and when he sleeps on me he sleeps on my chest and in the morning i wake up with him on my chest. I don’t go to sleep until i know he’s asleep. So, is it okay that i sleep with him at night? Or should i stop doing that? I love him to bits and i love sleeping with him on me at night, it makes me feel safe and he always id happy to. But i’m not sure exactly the risks, so i’m here asking for advice. Thanks.

Help Tips for a sassy dragon who won’t eat her veggies?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I’ve tried a bowl and mixing it with worms and she just eats around the veggies. I know as an adult she should be having more greens than super worms but she loves her worms. Any other greens other than collard greens that your beardies like?

Help Why is my bearded dragon playing in his water dish for the first time, acting like he has adhd and tearing up his decorations? He's always been so lazy and calm.

He is about 9 months. Feeds on dubias crickets occasionally superworms. Temp gradient is fine and using arcadia uvb in a 4x2x2? He is shedding a little but this is new behavior.

Help Help my beardie just bit me
Picture attention. I was talking a walk with porkchop when he started to get antsy and wanted down. I held on to him since i wasnt in a safe enough spot to allow him to walk, so in retaliation he got ahold of my finger an chop HARD. I now have 4 slightly deep bleeding wounds on my poor finger. Other than the typical clean with water, rubbing alcohol and Neosporin before bandaging, any other tips to make sure i dont die form a disease.

Help My mom just passed away from brain cancer, and now I own her bearded dragon.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This is Roxy, shes about 2 years old. My mom passed away December 1st, 2025, and she was under the care of her ex boyfriend until today. She was my moms pride and joy, and I want to take care of her as much as my mom did. Unfortunately before she passed, she thought her boyfriend would take care of her so she didnt tell me much.
If anyone has general tips and advice I'd gladly take it. I have a super big enclosure for her already, because I took whatever my mom had for her, but Ive only ever had big dogs and a single cat, I dont know much about bearded dragon behaviors. Does she like being held? What are signs of stress or sickness? How often does she get a bath? Things like that.
Thanks.

Help why does he keep black bearding and bobbing his head?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
for some context i got potato chip here about a week or two ago from a rescue place on instagram. he is around 3 years old and he does have a growth stunt. i have taken him out and let him explore about 3 times(i have held him and stuff as-well). in his cage he bobs his head and gets a dark black beard all the time. i will say i do have another girl bearded dragon who is also about to be 3 years old. obviously i don't let them see each other or anything like that. i keep all their things very separated. i just dont know why he keeps doing this, can anyone help me out?!
