Bearded Dragon Infectious Disease Slideshow

Inland bearded dragons are native to Australia and are a popular companion animal. Private breeders often select for desirable temperaments and various color morphologies in an effort to provide an ever-increasing variety to the pet trade. They are also bred commercially and sold by large pet retailers making them a widely available pet reptile. As general husbandry for exotic companion animals continues to improve and as owners develop strong bonds with their reptile companions, presentation for infectious disease is expected to become more commonplace. This infectious disease slideshow is intended to serve as a quick reference guide for the private practitioner on some of the more common infectious diseases seen in captive inland bearded dragons.
