Hi all,
Sad post for me to make. My two bearded dragon sisters died within weeks of each other.
I am hoping for help figuring out what killed them, so as to better control for it next time (if possible).
They were approx. 5 years old. One died without any marks or symptoms described in respiratory infections and other illnesses. She hadn't eaten in 2 days, but that wasn't an unusual time frame for them to not eat. She wasn't particularly active, but was still alert and not lethargic. The temperatures were carefully controlled (was a hot summer), water always present, food carefully prepared and offered daily. No changes to diet or environment.
2 weeks later her sister had died also.
Important to know that they shared a very large tank with a friendly blue-tongue (the 3 had grown up together and had never bothered each other), and a snake is in a nearby tank. Both blue-tongue and snake are fine.
Any useful information would be great. Would love to have some idea as to what caused this.
Please read this post carefully before accusing me of neglect.
