Have to let it out.. and moral of the story is
Bearded dragons cant handle that much sun.
all i read on the internet is "Australia, sun,sun,sun,heat, heat,sun,sun,heat,insects,etc"
so,
since the sun is always out in my country, i'd let my dragon bask beside the window screen for an hour or 2 then place her back in her enclosure. but then i noticed bugs/insects started to come in so i decided to let her out in my Balcony in her secured basket with a towel and some food, it had shed so she could hide. She loved it. One day after her bath and relieved because i successfully removed the shedding skin on the tip of her tail, i didnt know how a skin rott looks like so(better be safe than sorry) i concentrated on it the most+her toes, i patted her dry then it was her natural sun light basking time. after some time, i went to check on her and my heart dropped, she was just laying there dead. i immediately took her out and filled her special sink with cool water, i soaked her with her towel and started hand feeding her diluted Pedialyte with a syringe hoping that it will hydrate her and wake her up, i stayed beside her for hours crying and hoping that she'll wake up, and maybe she's just in a type of a brumation level. she wasn't brumating, she was gone. because of my irresponsible act
i feel so guilty and i wish if there were any previous signs to avoid putting her under the sun again and just stick with Light Bulbs, or move to Australia for their type of sun
i miss you Azaar, my mistake is irreparable and unforgivable

Summary:
I've ordered my B.D From a guy who gets his reptiles from a Breeder in California
after receiving her, she was fairly thin, dirty, missing some nails, and had a lump on the side of her face.
When the guy sent the pic of the dragon, it never reoccurred me to ask for multiple side pics, i trusted that the dragon will be healthy.
As a Reptile beginner of taking care of my "Own" Reptile, i didnt know if i can take care of her in her healing process if the Vet dug a hole in her face (since reptiles heal slow)
So i told the guy whom i bought my B.D from and he said he'll exchange, but that made me feel guilty because i have no idea what he'll do with her (maybe throw her away or give her to someone who's careless and does a home-surgery without numbing her that will screw the dragon's face and let her live in agony for months?) i was paranoid. it was foolish, i know.
so i decided to take her to the Vet and just Deal with it professionally with more research and get help from you guys.
but that day just didnt come..
