Meet Henry the Bearded Dragon

[Catherine]

I wasn't really planning to get another beardie, but sometimes you just need to help an animal out. He came into the reptile centre as a rescue because he was not okay. Somehow he was not fed right and he ended up with paralyzed back legs. He has improved some, but it doesn't look like his legs will recover. Very likely he was not given enough calcium. We can keep his levels high now, but the bones are deformed. I like to think he will improve, but I think it will be all I can do to get him healthy.
Henry is very sweet.

I want to fatten him up a little.

He likes it.

You can see the curve in his spine. It is very bad.

I let Henry explore a little and he went right to the Christmas tree.

You can see how his back legs are limp and maybe even degenerating a little. He drags himself around. You have to love him, he never gives up.


Henry has a pretty face. I can't fix him, but I can give him a loving home and make him happy. I can probably let him crawl around like Jake. They can't go too far my sweet handicapped boys.
