I have a three month old bearded dragon that has shown some really strange behavior recently. I was giving it a bath and all of the sudden it started freaking out and moving his body all types of weird ways. Then his entire body locked up he became very stiff and he turned over on his back with his eyes closed and didnt move for about a minute, finally he started to move again but he then later started shaking in his cage. I am very concerned. Please HELP!!

Dragons can be sensitive to temperature change. If you are able to check the waters temp, keep it between 85-100.

As Jp said, I would make sure the bath water isn't too shockingly hot for him...
