My bearded dragon is nearly a year old. For some reason in the past few weeks, he has begun to fill with air so much that his body is round and bloated. It looks similar to how bearded dragons will inflate to remain buoyant in water, but this happens out of water. In fact, he adores water.
So far it has been happening once a day, and his beard will be puffed out completely as well. When I see it happen, I’ll hold him. After a while, he deflates through the mouth.
I have no idea what is causing this. Hes never done this before. A difference I can think of is we switched the tank recently.
Should I go to a vet? Is this normal? Is this the tank’s fault? Would factors like humidity affect him? I am so worried (lol)
