How can I tell if my bearded dragon is sick?

Answer by  kittymum (142)

If he is not eating and eliminating normally, refuses to move, or his tongue or skin is pale and dull, he might be ill. Another possible sign is a black beard that does not go away. Make sure you have the proper lighting (basking lamp & UVB) in his enclosure and dust his insects with a supplement made for beardies.
