Can a Bearded Dragon breath when it's upside down?

Question

Just wanna know so if i teach mine to roll over in some way its not cruel and he doesnt die because I've read they can't breath when they're upside down. I even read somewhere they slowly go into a coma :s

Any help really appreciated :)

Answer 1

It is cruel to ever put a reptile up side down or on it back. They are wild animals they not dogs they can not lean to roll over. Most likely you will just stress out your bearded dragon and make him mean by doing this. It is not that they can`t breath but that this is a VERY VERY inapprate way to ever handle a reptile. Most likely he will not go on his back but trash or roll.
