How to kill your dragon - slowly and painfully.

This is a very sick bearded dragon,  brought into Evolution Reptiles in Kidlington.  It was probably in pain every single time it moved. It was desperately thin and its skin was a dull grey colour. It barely moved when handled. Bought off a Facebook page and it had been kept for three years without heating or UV light.
'It was very underweight," says Pete Milligan the owner Evolution Reptiles. "The spine was protuding and if you touched it it felt sharp. Each rib could be clearly felt. It was also lifeless when picked up."
He advised the owners to take it to a vet, sold a UV light to them, and discussed the lizard's welfare. Buying a lizard online (like buying a cat or a dog) is always dicey. They may come cheaper but the remedial vets bills will probably end up making these pets more expensive.
Other signs that the lizard was ill - its tail was flat not rounded: it had swollen joins on its feet: its elbows looked as if there were two elbows. Because it hadn't died quickly from lack of heat and UV light, its owner probably thought that it was OK to keep it that way. But the poor animal had survived in pain all that time.
"This all completely avoidable," says Pete. "People are still mistakenly thinking that reptiles don't need UV light. There are vivariums still being sold in which you cannot install UV lighting. And these are often sold with printed labels that give the wrong advice. It's time manufacturers got up to speed."

"The worst set up I see is tortoises that are kept without UV light. They are given Vitamin D supplement and people think this is good enough, but it is no substitute for ultra violet light."
