Your not feeding him iceberg lettuce are you? Here is what I would go by when I owned Bearded Dragons give them a variety of greens such as collard greens, kale, redleaf lettuce, mustard greens, hibiscus flowers and finely chopped vegetables. appropriately sized crickets (approximately 1/3 the size of the lizard's head, by width [width of prey = 1/3 width of lizards head) or by volume) make up the basis of their diet, with mealworms, wax worms and king mealworms providing variety for lizards that are older than 1 mth. Because of their rapid growth, food items should be supplemented with a calcium/vitamin mixture.

Adult:
Feed every 1-2 days; crickets (dust 2 feedings/week), pinkie to fuzzy mice (once/week), veggies every other day

Patterns and Colors are the only good snakes to keep. Size means nothing.

Stay away from "juicy" veggies. Whenb feeding the fruit make sure you don't feed them to much of it.

Why should not you feed a breaded dragon iceberg lettuce? What happens to them? I have another question. My breaded dragon seems to be paralyzed; but every once in a while he will move a little. We also have to feed and give him water by hand. What can we do to get him better?

Thank you for any respone, Jeremy
