Hi. Vet tech/current vet student here. What you're witnessing is a seizure, not dehydration. Seizures can be caused by a lot of things. MBD (metabolic bone disease) is the thing I'd consider first. His diet should be rich in calcium and he should have access to proper UVB light. Another possibility is toxins in or around the tank. Is there any tannin rich wood in there? Are you using any sort of chemicals in the room he's in? Like sprays or air fresheners or anything like that? Has anything changed when he had his first seizure? It could also be because of stress. You're trying to tame him, which is a good thing, but too much stress could cause an overload and possible neurological symptoms, such as a seizure. It could also be genetic and have nothing to do with your husbandry. I am not very knowledgable in beardie morphs but I know several morphs in other lizards as well as snakes that have a great risk of developing neurological problems (the enigma syndrome in leopard geckos and the spider ball python problem are two that comes to mind). The problem is I'm just sitting here behind a screen, I can only speculate from what I know from the years of work I've done and what I've been taught in school. If these problems continue, please see a vet. I know there are several good ones here in Sweden who specialise in reptiles. Lite på svenska också. Jag hoppas verkligen att det har blivit bättre, men om det inte har det och/eller om du vill prata mer med mig om problemet och olika lösningar eller veterinärer att kontakta så finns jag på Terrariedjur under namnet MariaLewisia. Skriv jättegärna till mig där isåfall.

[@Chomper27]

My bearded dragon died like 3 days after i fed him crickets from a different store than the ones i usually get. Could chemicals on crickets be the cause?

[@Lewisiaisoutofcontext]

@@Chomper27 It's very hard to say what happened without knowing the entire history and condition of the animal in question, so I really can't tell you if the crickets caused him to pass away. I'm very sorry for your loss. ❤️

Wow! I can not thank you enough for this comment!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was a bit hesitate to post this video, was a bit scared people was going to attack me. But once again I get proof that it's good to post the good and the bad. Because people are kind hearted and willing to help! So thank you so much!! As as of now, everything is back to normal. Literally like nothing have happened! Just how it was the day before. Pretty crazy.. he is eating and bring active. Not as defensive anymore tho 👍👍

[@jasperdrawings]

@@JohanExoticGlobal That is so great news, and I don’t think this needs to be said but I hope you were able to get him to a vet because it was painful to watch. My gosh, I am so sorry that’s literally the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. Though I am so glad you moved him to paper towels as it looked like he was almost chocking on dirt and impaction is probably the last thing you want with him. I hate to be that person as you clearly have more experience with reptiles then I do, but I’ve actually caught my special snow flake of a bearded dragon eating both the paper towels and the newspaper I’ve used as substrate and unfortunately I think you should keep him on paper towels just in case this happens again. I’m sorry that happened and as a fellow bearded dragon owner I hope the little guy lives a long and happy life. Thank you for sharing this though. It’s an unfortunate reminder that things can go wrong for even the most experienced keepers.

[@Lewisiaisoutofcontext]

@🍄Mushroom🍄 Totally normal in a growing beardie! As babies and juveniles, beardies (and any other reptile for that matter) will grow a lot quicker and thus need to shed a lot more frequently. As they mature however, they won't need to shed as often anymore. A baby beardie will shed every month or so while an adult only sheds a couple times a year.

[@flyincoyotescales]

Young bearded dragons are especially prone to seizures when they have low calcium or other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Make sure to get him to a vet.

[@FJBrandon]

A good dozen of pinkies might get him back in form

[@rynhanson]

He also needs the proper light to break down said calcium

[@frankdux4515]

Yes.. my lizard did this. It's was calcium def. From feeding only crickets and veg. He needed a prey that had a skeleton like pinkies. Calcium from the bones.

you're going to want to research Atadenovirus and take proper precautions, then. Everybody wants to argue, it's clearly a neurological disorder but in this case it's caused by a virus, it's not genetic. A common fatal virus with no cure.

[@Kayleeeesmiles]

These are seizures 😢 did you get him checked out so you can properly care for him ? 😩❤️

[@circuszebra]

This looks like a seizure to me. Assess diet, setup, reduce stressors and contact an exotics/reptile veterinarian. Show them this video and go to an appointment prepared with the answers to the above and show them this video. It is always best to seek advice and have any tests and investigations done when our beloved animals start showing abnormal behaviour. The cause of any worrisome changes should always be examined. It’s better to be safe and to do our absolute best by the animals in our care. Good luck to you and your sweet beardie, I hope all goes well! - I’ve kept and rescued reptiles and exotics including beardies for decades and I know how important they are to us. I honestly and sincerely do wish you both well, take care!

[@courtniewesterfield9079]

Stress is #1 cause of seizures. Suggest for anyone/anything with a seizure disorder. Do not push limits to often. You can actually kill us. Yes living things can die from seizures

It’s owner was calm but damn could you hear the pain the dude was in. It’s horrible knowing there’s nothing you can do for something you care about, all you can do is be there

[@cadycastle9957]

Pretty sure this is due to lack of vitamins for the animal and not necessarily a seizure. This can happen when they are fed the same thing day in and day out and aren't getting the right amount of vitamins.

[@alanmalcheski8882]

I had a dog who had seizures his whole life, it doesn't look like seizures to me. And how can you tell when the clips are a few seconds each? Looks like a neurological issue. Almost looks like mad cow disease, which is when cows eat cows. I agree with the comment about diet. That lizard is eating the wrong stuff.

[@user-xd1cm9vu9s]

@@alanmalcheski8882 seizures ARE a neurological issue

[@alanmalcheski8882]

@@user-xd1cm9vu9s I didn't say it wasn't. If you dissect that comment you'll see that by including mad cow disease, I'm saying that they're all neurological disorders, seizures, mad cow disease, and this. I'm not a seizure expert, I don't know how long they can last but my dog's seizures always lasted several minutes, they were very intense and there was lots of shaking, like, at least a hundred spasms before it stopped. This reptile is only spasming a few times, unless they edited it. Maybe that's an average reptile seizure, I don't know. But if we're comparing it to mammals it more closely resembles mad cow disease than a dog's seizure, and when people have seizures they usually shake violently for several minutes also.

[@AlyssaQ420]

Be careful when giving them water. They have a valve in their throat that acts as a shut-off mechanism so they don't gulp too much at once. If you disturb them while or immediately after drinking, it could startle them, causing the valve to flood and drown them. Hope this info helps and I hope the little scaly angel pulls through.

It was horrifying to see him like that I really hope he gets better!! I figured it was a seizure or neurological issue. Praying!!

[@namelessnavnls8060]

According to some of the experts in the comments, it was indeed a seizure.

[@valtarii]

I would definitely get this little guy tested for atadenovirus if you haven’t already! Some bearded dragons with ADV can experience neurological symptoms such as body twitching and seizures. It may arch its neck and look up at the sky (stargazing) due to what the virus does to its nervous system. Bearded dragons that are infected with atadenovirus as adults typically develop liver and kidney disease, and other conditions. Oddly, some bearded dragons never show any symptoms and are lifelong carriers of the virus. A bearded dragon can quickly become infected with the virus if it is exposed to the feces of a carrier dragon, are handled by someone who handled an infected beardie, shares a cage with an infected dragon, or eats leftover food from an infected dragon. Unfortunately, there is no cure for atadenovirus. A dragon with ADV can only be treated to alleviate its symptoms. It should be housed alone to prevent further infection to other bearded dragons and reduce its competition with other beardies for food. It will continue to need appropriate UVB lighting and heat. Remove loose substrate and monitor feeding to prevent choking and inhalation during neurologic events. If it has a secondary infection due to a suppressed immune system, antibiotics may be prescribed. If the beardie is dehydrated, warm water soaks may be recommended, and syringe feeding may also be necessary if it is not eating well. Its quality of life must be assessed regularly to make sure euthanasia is not a better option over palliative care. I hope this was helpful and best of luck to you and the little dragon!

[@wrathgate.reptiles]

ADV has become a Boogeyman in the dragon world, pretty much all dragons carry ADV, just not all are actively shedding it when testing. Even wild species have been found with it. Unfortunately, usually there are underlying neurological issues, often from genetics or bad husbandry, that results in ADV being the scapegoat

[@josette.t4004]

My bearie has ADV and she has gone through lots of vet visits and treatment, she would bite at her toes and bite them off and she was refusing to eat for a very long time. We had to do a lot for her to get to a better place… she still struggles but shes doing a lot better then what she used to be

[@wrathgate.reptiles]

@@josette.t4004 that's all signs of a neurological problem, which unfortunately is very common with how poorly bred many dragons are now. Phantom Dragons are discussed ADV a lot of their page, how how it's turned into a baseless witch hunt that led to many dozens of dragons being needlessly euthanized, simply due to a lack of understanding. You'd be hard pressed to find a truely negative dragon in captivity

[@valtarii]

@@wrathgate.reptiles I hear you, but if this keeper has other reptiles in the home I think it'd still be worth a test to be safe. Before I took in my rescue beardie I had her ADV tested and bloodwork done. 'Quarantine, quarantine, quarantine' as they say in vet school! Best way to prevent so much disease spread. I agree it's not as important for the positive beardie... with symptom management they can live with pretty normal quality of life. But I would not want to subject an otherwise healthy dragon to ADV and risk a terrible reaction. It's a good thing to be aware of to manage husbandry and care in a multi reptile home. It's a shame breeders don't take more care to prevent spread in the population... I wonder if that's mainly the big chain reptile breeders or if it's infiltrated smaller breeding groups too.

I would’ve thought it might have been a neurological issue but after reading comments and doing a bit of research on what’s being discussed I’ve come to the conclusion it may have been a seizure, and the energy that is basically sucked away when that happens if the reason the dragon went limp when he was done.

[@jimycrackcorn408]

yes, I would say this is completely normal for a juvenile lizard, especially a beard he they grow so fast and that’s why you see them shed so many times when they’re young because of their growth spurts once they start reaching adult size, the shedding will be less frequent, simply, because it’s not growing any bigger but they will shed old skin from time to time. Make sure you have proper lamp. UVB bulbs are used to have mine with it her daytime bulb and a moon bulb for a night. I really love the moon bulb at night. It’s really set the mood for a calm, peaceful rest.

I do minimum for my beardie. They're a lot easier to keep than people think. Substrate I use is childrens play sand. Which is sand you get at a home improvement store like Bunnings. Lighting is a heat lamp with no light on one end and a 26W 10% UV light bulbs on the other end. Temp thermostat set to 32 degrees Celsius. I feed him meal worms or superior's dusted in calcium powder. I remove poop daily and have rocks and branches in terrarium. Also feed him coriander daily. If you use a weaker uv lamp you can run into problems with shedding or mbd.

This is how my very much loved bearded dragon died from my childhood. He was my BABY and he loved all the cuddles. He did this exact same thing. One day was fine the next he died doing this. We took him to the vet and they said he had an infection that was to far into his body to save him and he died at the vet. It is apparently something the exotic vet sees quite often in beardies but it can be caused by many things.

[@user-ke4wk9ir6z]

In addition to the reptile experts, pesticidal exposure (such as neonicatinoids) can cause seizures and illnesses in reptiles and amphibians. If you work in your garden or handle pesticides, or if the substrate you are collecting has been treated, this can injure or kill your reptile.

[@JohanExoticGlobal]

Thank you so much for this comment! You can always rescue an adult dragon! 😊👍 My little dude is doing much much better. Pretty crazy since he was doing this bad. But now it's like nothing even happened..

[@OPIUM420]

Hope your bearded dragon experience goes well , very easy to keep so you should be good

[@user-sl8dg8ph9v]

God I love it when an actual expert shows up to explain this in the comment section.

[@dancemonkey23]

He's having a seizure, he's not dying

[@kristinmontague9084]

Seeing your other videos you do know what you are doing and how to care for all of your animals. I agree with the seizures. Just keep an eye on him. Thx for sharing

[@JohanExoticGlobal]

Thank you for this 🙏🙏

[@cablefreak9]

I haven't had a chance to see the other videos, this showed up as a suggestion. I'm so glad to have seen your comment because honestly the video on its own made me see red.

[@nicks_wild_life]

What the fuck? Dude take it to a vet, I have literally never seen a bearded dragon do something like that.

[@thomashackney3209]

It’s fucked up because he’s saying the substrate has nothing to do with it when you can clearly see his mouth is packed full of it

[@pizzaofdarkness4041]

As a bearded dragon owner, seeing him abnormally curled like that was very painful to watch. I can't bear to see my bearded dragon in whatever pain.

[@GoatyHerps]

"So I left him in a terrarium full of dirt." Genius

[@MagicalLps]

This is super sad I'm sorry. I hope he feels better.

[@JohanExoticGlobal]

I know.. :/ He is doing little bit better. I manage to get him to eat again!

[@MagicalLps]

Thats amazing to hear, I have a dragon of my own so I understand the worry.

[@tonyandstacie05]

Use carpet and he won’t drag his face in the dirt because there won’t be any dirt. My bearded dragon is doing great with carpet. I heard that sand and dirt is a bad flooring for your dragon. Hope your gets better soon I almost cried seeing him move and belike that

[@1800owch]

I know you left this comment a while ago but I just wanted to say that I’ve found that the kind of plasticky textured liner mats are much better than carpets, because they’re as easy to clean as tile, but much cheaper, and they can sometimes get their nails stuck in carpet and hurt their toes

[@jayseg5242]

Just by looking at it it seems that he's stressed/anxious that might been why he seems so weak but it could also be anxiety and something else

[@themeekwarrior]

Please take him to a vet, even if now he is acting fine. It's better you know that whatever caused the seizures is over and gone, and just to make sure he's in good health. Animals can be very tricky about showing sickness. I lost a budgie to cancer last year and had no idea it was there until it was much too late.

[@lauramarika]

I just love your accent! I'm from Finland and every time I hear english with Scandinavian accent I feel warm and fuzzy for some reason. Maybe it's because I don't have confidence speak english although I understand it 100% because of my own accent 😂

[@JohanExoticGlobal]

Haah that's awesome!! Thank you so much! 😍 I was like that before too. But when I moved to USA for college I was forced to speak it too lol

Poor lil guy. I hope he's gonna be ok. Keep a close eye on him.

[@JohanExoticGlobal]

She is better! I'll update everyone in a video soon zl😊

[@theresacoleman5810]

Yes I have had numerous lizards, especially bearded dragons. They need their calcium. I use to get a dozen live crickets , pour some calcium powder in the bag, shake it up then put them in their cage. He doesn’t look well. I also put chopped vegetables in one bowl and sprinkle it with calcium. What bulbs are you using? I hope he gets better soon. Mine use to love fresh watermelon.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@athlex154]

Looks like he’s had multiple seizures.

[@Sharkdog11b]

It’s be great if there was a person with a phd that specifically helps and saves animals like this that he could take it to immediately.

[@reneestyles4863]

you mean like a veterinarian?? indeed. u would think that would be mission critical. then again depending on what time he arrived home he may not be able to take him to a vet or something..

[@LiamMartin-vk3pe]

No, I didn’t want him to get hurt because I love lizards there too adorable😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎

[@gecko-guy362]

Great job you're a lifesaver hope your bearded dragon is going to be okay cuz he's so so cute even though he's kind of defensive

He is doing better now. Update video coming soon:)

Dude that look he had in his eye when he bent backwards... dude was going thru it all day

[@kunt9670]

“Because something had happened to ma bearded dragon” love this guys voice 🤣❤️

[@zombieneck3277]

This could either be a seizure or a possible case of the atadenovirus.

[@magicalframe9441]

You should definetly take him to a vet to get checked out... That's really awful.

[@metromurph]

i didnt even know they could bend like that without breaking! i hope he is doing better since im 2 weeks late

[@JohanExoticGlobal]

Me neither. Pretty crazy! She is doing a lot better now! 🙏

Beardie seizures. As tough as they are, they are also delicate.

If he survives, it's thanks to you. You seem to be a caring person and if he passes, I hope you know that living being knows you did everything you could and it's okay.

Bro you had me in the first half 😢. Glad he’s doing better!

[@radiogagaart8157]

Looks like the seizures my rescue blue tongue skink was having. She was pretty much on her death bed from malnutrition and MBD, but I was able to extend her life for 9 months (sadly she passed 3 days ago). I won’t lie that hit me hard because, for the 9 months she was the reason I got out of bed in the morning. I would say this may be likely caused by MBD. There are many other things that can cause this but MBD tends to be common. I’d defs take the beardie to a vet for a general health check up.

[@itsjustjackie916]

Oh my gosh, is he doing ok? I hope he didn't die. Poor lil guy 🥺🥺

mine likes being pet on his head

[@mecca.9025]

You’re thinking of a tuatara (which are very cool reptiles that are illegal to own due to their endangered status). Bearded dragons don’t have this feature and actually enjoy head pets 👍

[@TheCornhole55]

I was so sad 😢 when the video started being a Dragon 🐉 owner myself but man when I saw her improving at the end getting better ❤️‍🩹 and better man my heart warmed right up so glad and happy she’s doing so much better much love ❤️ and I’m still praying 🙏🏻 for her.

Stupid people owning pets they know nothing about. Pretty damn sad they post videos of the poor thing instead of taking him to the vet immediately. If you can't afford potential vet bills don't buy the animal.

Guess u missed the last part to where he said he was doing better. Get off ur high horse.
