I have a juvenile bearded dragon (Viticeps) it appears healthy, eats etc. But it sits there with its head lifted up and tilted back like he is looking up at the cage roof. I do not think that it is an obstructed breathing or airway problem as there is no rasping or wheezing etc. He sounds and looks normal. But the head angle isn’t ok. A Reptile dealer said that it was a UV issue, but that doesn’t seem to make sense as he hasn’t got rickets, has adequate UV in his cage and can bask easily. I would think a calcium or UV issue would show as a deformity in the extremities?. Does anyone know why it may sit for ages in this uncomfortable looking pose?
