What does nose bleeds from a baby bearded dragon mean?

Question

I have a baby bearded dragon that seems to have had possible nose bleeds from both nostrils some point in time while i wasn't home, cause it was dried up already when i got home. Is there a possible sickness or problem the baby could be having that would cause this?

Answer 1

It could be an environmental issue- improper substrate, too low humidity or the cage may be too hot.

It could aslo be caused by a respiratory infection so you should take the baby to a vet that knows how to treat reptiles. A checkup shouldn't be expensive and the vet can also make sure your baby is getting good nutrition, lighting, correct heat and cold settings in the cage and good substrate.

Answer 2

get it to a vet just in case. But just so you know, young beardies (especially in a new environment) have a tendency to hit the glass with their face if they see their reflection. They dont realize that there is nowhere to go, and that there isnt another lizard there. Again, I would still take him to a vet to make sure he is ok.

Answer 3

call a vet, could be atmes change, does not sound good though

Answer 4

I have had a bearded dragon five year and never had that problem. Tell me a little about his living area, and what he or she is eating. Are you keeping them warm?
